Inside the villa, Janine was just a worker that had to be managed by both the butler and the housekeeper.
Just like the others, she must address them formally to show her respect to them as someone who has a higher position in the villa.
Janine went in front of them and asked if Roland had truly arrived.
Earlier, Roland said that he would call her so that she could pick him up. However, she waited and did not receive any calls at all.
When she heard the other maids talking that he had already arrived, she was both surprised and a little angry at Roland.
Housekeeper Stella looked at Janine's enthusiastic expression.
A frown appeared on her face as she strictly said, "Yes, Master Roland is at the pool right now with the Mistress."
"Mistress?" A hint of doubt appeared on Janine's face as she heard that word.
At the same time, a bitter feeling had unknowingly aroused in her heart as her expression turned stiff all of a sudden.
"Master Roland already has a wife?" Janine asked, her tone was obviously down.
She had always been like this. She doesn't hide her feelings and her face would show her true feelings openly.
This time, it was Butler Frank who answered her question.
"No, I don't think they're married yet. Also, it's 'Ma'am' for you and not 'Mistress', do you understand?"
Janine nodded her head. Now that her father has already confirmed, her heart suddenly ached, as if she just lost something important without knowing what it was.
"Since you're already here, you can bring the refreshments for them later," Housekeeper Stella ordered before he waved her hand for Janine to follow behind her.
"Also, what you are feeling, you better suppress it while it's still early. You're just going to end up hurting yourself. Remember, a master and servant have a clear line that they must not cross. Do you understand?"
Hearing the untimely sermon, Janine felt downhearted even more. Although she did not understand what her mother was saying, her words actually managed to make her heart ache even more.
This time, tears had already slowly formed in the corner of her eyes. Fortunately, Janine managed to hold it up in time, or else the tears might have rolled down towards her cheeks.
At the same time, she could not help but think, 'What was I expecting anyway?'
…
The session of the newly love birds had just ended in the pool.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLike children's who could not get enough on playing their video games the first time, both Roland and Stacey who just discovered this kind of feeling don't want to stop as well.
This time, Roland was seated at the corner of the pool with a rosy expression.
At his crotch was Stacey, who held his thigh tightly as she looked up to him with a rosy and seductive look.
Roland fixed her messy hair to the side to get a better view at Stacey's pretty face.
A smile appeared on his face as he rubbed her smooth cheek with his thumb.
At this time, both of their minds were still occupied by each other's companionship.
The feeling was just right for the two of them and they did not get enough of it.
Especially Roland, who was very green until the encounter with Stacey earlier.
Due to him having to work to fend for himself right after he left the orphanage, Roland has never experienced what normal male teenagers would do.
Watching pornos and reading erotic s has never crossed his mind even for a moment.
With Stacey introducing these things to him, it could be said that he was gradually resurfacing from the cave that he previously locked himself up.
At this point, Roland and Stacey suddenly turned their heads to the side. There, they saw Janine approaching them with the refreshments he requested earlier.
Both of their expressions lit up seeing it.
At the same time, Stacey carefully got out of Roland's crotch as she surfaced and sat beside Roland.
Seeing Stacey's tactful actions, Roland could not help but nod his head in approval.
Although he liked flirting with Stacey, there was time, place and situation for everything.
With Janine approaching them, it was surely not the time to flirt and show such acts anymore.
On the other hand, Janine has a stiff expression as she places the food right beside Roland.
She was already aware that Roland already has a girlfriend but seeing his girlfriend in person made her want to return to her room immediately.
Seeing them very close made her very uncomfortable too.
Upon seeing her expression, Roland could not help but ask her about it as he was worried that she has a fever or something.
However, Janine merely shook her head before she left the area, leaving behind Roland and Stacey who had a frown on her face.
"Who is that? You two seem a little close?"
"Oh, she's the daughter of Mr. Frank and Missus Stella, she just arrived here this morning," Roland then proceeded to tell her what happened earlier.
On how he met her and how she became his personal driver.
Roland has never mentioned this earlier, and it was the first time Stacey was hearing the story.
And although she kept on nodding her head as she listened to Roland, a hint of vigilance had actually sprouted on her heart at this moment.
As a woman herself, she knew what kind of expression Janine was showing earlier.
The expression she showed was that of disappointment and sadness, especially when she saw Stacey sitting beside Roland earlier.
Stacey's intuition was warning her from Janine. She could not help but take a glance at her retreating figure.
In the end, she just shook her head not to think about it anymore.
There was no need to worry about Roland cheating. Of all the things he hates the most right now, it should be those who cheat on their relationship and had an affair with others.
Stacey believed that Roland would not do so as it would mean becoming the person he hates the most.
Anyways, Stacey turned and focused on Roland once again.
Like a caring mother, she pampered him a lot with her tender love and care.
That night, she experienced riding with Sian as Roland brought her back to her house.
Seeing the Sian also impressed Stacey a lot. She was also aware of its price and how rare it was, but because she was not a car enthusiast like Janine and the others in the car show earlier, she just brushed it off as if the Sian was just any normal car.
Well, part of her lack of reaction was also due to the fact that Janine and Roland bonded with this car earlier, and she was a bit jealous about it, so she would not be able to see the car brightly like that anymore.
At first, Stacey wanted Roland to stay over but Roland declined, saying that he still had something to do.
Stacey could only agree to part ways with him reluctantly, but she just made an appointment with him tomorrow. It's time for her to resign from her work.
As the Sian disappeared from her field of vision, Stacey suddenly dialed her mom's phone number.
"Yes, my babyyy?" Her mom's voice rang on Stacey's ears.
She allowed her mom to calm herself down first before she said, "Mom, is my watch collection still there?"
"Yes of course sweetie. I know that it's your price collection, so I maintained them carefully, until you take notice of them again. What's the matter? Are you planning to add another one soon?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStacey smiled and heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
"That's good to hear, mom. As for your question, no mom, there's no new item for now.
But mom, do you remember my Jolex Yatch-master Female Luxury Edition?"
"Yes, baby, what about it?"
"Oh, nothing. Just, can you ship it to me as soon as possible?"
"Sure, babyy why not. But I thought that you are trying to live a normal life there?"
"Well, a little luxury isn't that bad, right?" Stacey just smiled as she answered.
However, the real reason was actually so that she could have the same watch as Roland.
…
Back in the Pure Dew Villa, Roland met with Butler Frank as they talked about the progress of their plans.
The restaurants were slowly getting completed. The products as well as their sources were basically sorted out now too.
And as Roland already found the manager and the main cook, he told Butler Frank to start searching for other employees such as the cashiers and other crews.
Of the 50,000 Global Dollars that he gave to Butler Frank previously as the budget, only half were used for now.
With the money that he has been getting, Roland actually wanted to up the budget of the restaurant even more. But this time, it was Butler Frank who declined as he thought that 50,000 Global Dollars was already more than enough.
Roland could only reluctantly agree with this matter.
So this was the life of the rich.
He wanted to spend some big money, but he actually doesn't have anything to spend on. The life of the rich was truly different.
"Master, about the task of investigating Bryan's family's other line of business, I apologize for disappointing you but I only gathered this much information that could just be searched online.
However, I reckoned that this is not the entirety of their business and there might be some businesses that they did not want to reveal in public."
Butler Frank handed him the list of businesses that Bryan's family was involved in.
In truth, there was actually not that much on the list. There were only six of them in total including the fast-food restaurants that already have a lot of branches in Fore City.
This was less than he expected so there was a high chance that Bryan's family had truly hidden some of their businesses away from the public.
