Chapter 215 To Be a Servant
The mirror in the bathroom was covered with a layer of mist. The man raised his hand to wipe it, revealing his cold and cool side profile. There seemed to be no sound in the room outside.
His eyes were slightly heavy, and his mind constantly revolved around the appearance of Lyra and Nore.
After putting on his bathrobe, he laughed at himself.
If he had realized what he wanted earlier, he would not have been tortured like this right now.
The bathroom door opened and the water mist dispersed. Sure enough, Lyra was no longer in the room. He could not tell what he was feeling. His eyes darkened a little and he was taking off his bathrobe when the door was pushed open. Lyra was stunned and quickly turned around. “You… you put on your clothes!” She did not expect him to come out so soon. And, she had witnessed this scene. Hank quickly put on the sweater and his Adam’s apple rolled.
and asked in a clear voice, “Can I change the conditions?” Her fingers gripped the tray tightly. “Whether it is being a servant or going to the Barnwell group to sweep the toilet, I can accept it, except…” Except for the way he had mentioned, she was willing to put down all her pride. When she said this, she closed her eyes in pain. Hank’s gaze fell on her. There was a bit of anxiety and hesitation. Lyra kept her head down and did not hear his response. She frowned. If he did not agree, she had no choice. “Or, can you give me a few more days? I can find a way to get rid of the trouble. At most, one week. If I can’t do it, I will take all the responsibility for breaking the promise.” The air was quiet for a long time. “What do you have to take the responsibility?”
He suddenly spoke. His voice was very close to her, almost above her head. “Nore?” “Can you not keep mentioning him?” Lyra frowned. It was a matter between them. Why did he have to involve others? She raised her head and suddenly bumped into his shoulder. Looking up, it was his extremely dark eyes. He slowly said, “Or you can stay by my side and work like a cow and a horse until the cooperation is over.” Lyra did not catch the first part of what he said. She only heard that he agreed to her bargain. She immediately nodded. “Okay.” “I will let Keith sort out the contract and give it to you later.”
As Hank said this, he picked up the fruit tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. Lyra breathed a sigh of relief. As she listened to the sound of footsteps fading away, her heart still beat non-stop.
An hour later, Keith arrived.
Lyra heard the sound and hurriedly ran out. Seeing that Sister Zhang’s hand was cut by a fragment, Hank stood at the side with a cold face, motionless. “Sir, I’m fine.” She apologized while packing up her things. “Sister Zhang, don’t move. I’ll clean it up. You deal with the wound first. Mr. Barnwell, if you don’t help, please move aside!” Lyra hurriedly pulled her up and looked at the stunned Hank. He was truly cold-blooded to the extreme! Lyra pulled Sister Zhang to bandage her wound. She lowered her head and picked the pieces out of her flesh bit by bit. “Sister Zhang, it might hurt a little. Please endure it a little.” “It’s fine. I can’t feel my hand anymore,” Sister Zhang smiled. Lyra’s hand paused.
Sister Zhang sighed lightly, “The only wish I have now is to do something in the remaining time.” Lyra had never seen Sister Zhang so sad. All of a sudden, she did not know what to do. “Miss Jones, do you think Sir is really cold? In fact, when he was young, he was a very lively and cheerful child. It was because his days were too bitter and there were thorns everywhere that he became colder and colder.” Sister Zhang looked out of the window and thought of what had happened a long time ago. Lyra lowered her head to deal with the last piece of slag, then disinfected it and put on some medicine.
Throughout the whole process, Sister Zhang did not show any expression of pain. Instead, she told Lyra many things about Hank when he was a child. “In the past, Sir really liked reading storybooks…” Lyra just listened with no expression on her face. Sister Zhang tilted her head, and unknowingly, her entire wrist was bandaged. “You don’t have to be so exaggerated. I can’t work anymore,” she said with a bitter smile. “I’ll do your share.” “Sister Zhang, no matter what he looks like in front of you, he is not like that to me.” Lyra did not want to understand the person she once had loved so deeply, and she knew she hated him now. Besides, she had no ability to understand others in her current situation. “But…”
“At least, he can now have everything he wants as he pleases, right?” Lyra opened the door and went downstairs to the kitchen. At the corner of the door, Hank’s deep and cold gaze followed her figure all the way until it was completely dark.
