Chapter 765 Have You Almost Killed Me Before?
"Is this too much?"
Seeing Jane's angry expression, Louis felt extremely pleased.
He wanted to laugh, but he managed to hold it in.
However, there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. To Jane, it undoubtedly looked like hewas mocking her intentionally!
But then again, he couldn't blame her!
"Louis, the chefs you hired are all five-star or above. I have confidence that I can make you satisfiedwith my cooking skills, but your salary..."
As she spoke, Jane made a gesture of counting money with her hands.
Louis' eyes deepened as he watched this movement.
The old Jane would never have made such vulgar gestures before. But now she couldn't beblamed; it was the harsh reality that had pushed her step by step into this situation.
Aside from feeling heartbroken for her situation though, Louis also found her cute.
"As long as you can satisfy me... I'll give you twenty thousand dollars for a meal."
Twenty thousand?!
Hearing this number caused Jane's blood pressure to skyrocket instantly.
Sure enough... rich people were so arrogant and casual when it came to spending money!
Where could one find such an easy way to earn money?
And where could one find such a good financial supporter?
Damn it! Even if she had to die trying... she had better serve this financial supporter well!novelbin
She made soup along with dumplings and porridge. She even cooked one of her signature dishes:egg drop soup.
She arranged soy sauce and scallions on top of the dishes in a way that Louis had never seenbefore, so he asked, "What is it that you made?"
"I prepared everything according to your request," said Jane proudly while pushing the egg dropsoup towards him. "Vivian says my egg drop soup is delicious - try some."
Although he'd only ever been exposed to famous dishes before, now when hearing what Jane saidabout how good hers tasted, he realized what kind of dish it was - eggs cooked together in brothuntil they formed little drops.
"Do you like it?"
Jane sat across from him smiling at him happily while propping up the table with both arms.
This egg drop soup contained some secret ingredients known only by herself; if not for needingquick cash while still having Vivian under care, then she would have set up shop selling thesealready.
"Mm-hmm."
Louis nodded and asked, "Did you learn your cooking skills in the past few years?"
During the years when Jane worked for him, he never saw her cook a meal.
"What else can I do? I'm not as rich as you. Eating out is expensive and on top of that, Vivian'smedical expenses are huge..."
As she spoke, Jane's expression dimmed slightly.
She had indeed had a tough time in recent years, but she gritted her teeth and persevered for thesake of her child. Since she had decided to keep Vivian by her side, how could she easily give up?
Therefore, she no longer yearned for those delicious dishes. What she longed for was Vivian'srecovery from her illness.
Fortunately, fate smiled upon her and she met Louis, a generous benefactor.
But she had also decided that during the time she stayed with Louis, she would take good care ofhim and make him feel happy both physically and mentally.
Listening to Jane talk about this, Louis could even imagine how Jane had been living a turbulent lifefor the past few years, taking care of her child while working at the same time.
Thinking of Vivian's biological father who hurt Jane and caused this, Louis clenched his fists tightly.
He must find out about this man and teach this man a lesson.
"Sit down and eat together. Don't worry. I'll pay you for whatever I ask you to do. Also, I won't let yougo through your previous hardships again."
"It is not okay, is it?"
Jane felt a little embarrassed.
Louis said that outright, so it would be shameless of her to still sit across from him and dinetogether.
No, no, she can't do this.
"There's nothing wrong with it. You are my wife and also my maid. We just started a new businessbetween us, didn't we? Besides, now that you're here, I don't want anyone else to interfere with us."
Louis pursed his lips and slowly uttered these words, his speech steady and powerful, leaving Janestunned.
Louis, who have dozens of servants to take care of his daily lives, are now dismissing all hisservants just because he doesn't want anyone to interfere with them?
"Ahem! Louis, you can't have that kind of idea. Having more people will make it easier to take careof you. I'm already doing the work of several people, and it's exhausting," Jane said, panting slightlyfor effect. She just wanted to show Louis how difficult it was for her to live alone in a huge villa.
But Louis was surprisingly confident and said, "I told you those people would only get in our way.Besides, you can handle it all, can't you?"
"But I don't want to work myself to death!" Jane felt very frustrated.
Louis made decisions one after another so fast.
"Don't worry about it. I'll pay you double for all this work. If you think that's not enough, name yourprice." Seeing Jane's sad eyes, Louis spoke slowly.
He knew she would agree if he offered money; he felt a little smug at the thought that if she didagree, then he could keep her by his side forever and their life together would be wonderful.
Double pay was undoubtedly the most attractive thing for Jane right now – money! That was all shecould see in front of her eyes now – such an opportunity to earn so much money lay before her;how could she not seize it tightly?
"There have been many changes between us lately. We should probably come up with some kind ofagreement or things might get complicated later on," Jane suggested cautiously.
"I don't have anyone else around me right now; if you're worried about anything, then feel free towrite up an agreement yourself or record our conversation," replied Louis directly without anyhesitation or guile.
Jane couldn't believe what she heard – either write an agreement or record their conversation?
"Louis... did you almost kill me once?" asked Jane curiously but also with a hint of suspicion in hervoice, which made Louis' pupils shrink suddenly as his heart sank heavily into his chest.
