Female Novel
Chapter 476
Quill probably thought that there were not enough things in her house so he called someone to buyher some more daily essentials and furniture. This was especially because the original owner hadnever lived there before, so although it was well renovated, there were still a lot of spots that hadmissing decorations and furniture.
For example, wall ornaments.
Quill had already helped her think of what to buy for the table decor. Beanie also joined everyone inthe cleaning operation. Each of them had their own tasks.
They were very excited when they were busy. Meanwhile, they talked and laughed too.
However, when they stopped, they realized that they were too tired to even move. Beanie and Verasimply hugged each other and fell asleep. The two of them collapsed on the sofa without caringabout their image.
The workers were more reserved. Although they were very tired, they still sat upright to one side.Even though they looked tired, they dared not have any complaints or actions.
"Thank you all, for your hard work today. There are rooms upstairs. You can all go and take a rest.After resting, I will treat you all for dinner outside."
The three were a little touched by her words, but they still waved their hands and said, "Don't dothat, Miss Minerva. We are all quite dirty. If we go up to rest, we will stain your sheets. We can justsit here for a while."
Minerva smiled and said, "You have all done me a huge favor today. How can you not rest? Hurryup. There's enough room."
They still refused to go up. Finally, Quill had to say, "I'll ask Nash to take them back to wash up andrest, and then give them three days off afterwards. Then, you won't feel guilty anymore, right?"
Minerva did not know what to say.
As her big brother, he really knew what she was thinking.
Hearing this, the workers' faces lit up with joy. A three-day holiday was what many people wantedbut could not get. They were thrilled but also scared to accept it.
"Let Nash send you all back first. I'll treat you all to dinner another day."
"Thank you, Miss Minerva. Then, we'll be leaving first." The workers glanced at her, feeling movedand left with Nash.
After they left, Quill couldn't help but reach out and knocked her head. "In fact, they are supposed todo all this. You don't have to feel so guilty about it."
Upon hearing this, Minerva was stunned for a moment. After a while, she said, "There is nothingthat can be taken for granted in the world. Although our family has spent money to hire them, and itis fine to tell them to do their own job, it's different when I asked them to come over here to clean."
"What is the difference between cleaning the family house and helping you clean here?"
"Their state of mind is different." Minerva looked up at Quill and said, "At least to me, they are nothired and paid by me."
Quill paused for a moment. He understood what she meant but he did not say anything else.
"Quill, you should also rest for a while. I'll go upstairs and take a look."
After saying that, Minerva turned around and went up to the second floor.
The good thing about the duplex was that the stairs were spiral, and there was a big chandelierhanging in the middle. It was exquisite but not too luxurious. It was indeed pleasing to look at.
Minerva strolled around the house and felt that she had bought the right place. She took a showerand changed into a new set of clothes before lying on the bed.
In fact, she was also very tired, so she fell asleep after laying around for a while.
She didn't wake up until her phone vibrated and woke her up. Probably because she was very tired,she didn't even look at who was calling when she answered the phone. She directly put the phonenext to her ear and then said hello feebly.
Maddox could not help but frown when he heard her tired and confused voice. What was going onwith this woman?
"Did you commit a crime last night?"novelbin
A cold, deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang in her ear. Minerva was startled but she was also alittle confused. She took the phone in front of her eyes and found that it was indeed Maddox'sname.
"What do you want?"
She was still feeling tired. Minerva felt that everything before her eyes was black. It had been a longtime since she was so tired. When she woke up, she felt all kinds of numbness over her limbs.
"You have to serve me for 24 hours a day. I want to see your designs today."
Minerva said, "I'm sorry, but this does not include weekends."
Maddox raised his eyebrows and curled his lips. "When you signed the contract, you didn't mentionit not including the weekend. Is this a last minute change?"
"Yes." Minerva nodded directly. Knowing that this man didn't divorce her and was still sticking to herlike a plaster, she suddenly didn't want to treat him like a client anymore. He was shamelessanyways and he wouldn't get angry easily. Thus, that meant that her attitude towards him could beas bad as it could possibly be. If he got angry and wanted to terminate the contract, then that wouldbe even better for her.
If he wasn't upset, then she would just continue to treat him like this. If he didn't mind, then shewon't be bothered about it too.
"It is exactly a last minute change. Do you have any objections?"
Maddox was rendered speechless.
He was silent for a while on the other end. He had never thought that Minerva would suddenlychange her tactics. She had really treated him as a client before, but recently, she became fearless.Her words were rude and she completely disregarded him in her eyes.
At the thought of this, Maddox's thin lips curved into an evil smile. "My dear wife is giving out orders.How would I dare to object?"
The unexpected word "wife" scared away Minerva's desire to sleep. She was stunned for a momentbefore her phone fell to the side of the pillow.
Because the room was too quiet, after the cell phone fell, Maddox probably heard it, and then sheheard his magnetic laughter.
This b*stard...
Minerva gritted her teeth and picked up her phone again. "Maddox, please act normally. We'll get adivorce sooner or later. Take that form of address back."
"Who said so?" Maddox chuckled. There was a hint of determination in his tone. "You haven'tmanaged to get the divorce in the past five years. Do you still think it's possible for you to be able todo it in the future?"
Minerva didn't know how to respond.
"If you're bored, then please go back to your company and deal with matters that are much moreimportant, or simply just help the poor people out. Don't come and disturb my dreams." After sayingthat, Minerva hung up without giving him a chance to react.
Listening to the beeping sound from the other side of the phone, Maddox was stunned for amoment and said, "Stupid woman, your temper is getting worse..."
Not long after that, he muttered to himself again.
"Who on earth spoiled her..."
Minerva threw her phone aside and closed her eyes. She wanted to continue sleeping.Unfortunately, her heart had been thrown into a mess by Maddox's words and voice. She could notcalm down.
She laid down for a while with her eyes shut and then sat up again.
Even though she decided to not treat him as a client anymore, she thought that she could just try todrive him away, hoping that he would just get lost...
However, it was not an easy job at all.
Upon thinking about this, Minerva let out a sigh. She did not know when she would be able to get ridof him.
Every time she thought about the divorce, she felt hopeless as she really did not know how to get it.
She originally thought that she had grown a lot in the past five years, but that man's cultivation hadalso become profound in the last five years too, especially in terms of his shameless confidence.
