"You.." Lily blush, doesn't know what to say to his flirty remarks.
"I know you are blushing. Damn, I wish I was there to see that blush. But not to worry I have lot of time to make you blush in our bedroom" Leonard huskily said.
"You are truly shameless" Lily shutter.
"What's there to being shameless in flirting with your own wife" Leonard said.

Jasmine is looking curiously at Lily who is turning red after the phone call " Boyfriend?".
Lily look at Jasmine and sweetly smile "No it's my husband". For the first time it really feels like she have a husband. Lily chuckle at this silly thought.
______________________
Lily reached the mansion. It's been one week living in this mansion. Though no one disrespects her but it's seems the servants here doesn't like her much. Even Aunt jenny seems aloof after she married Leonard.
She tried several times to be friendly with the maids, She tried to make Mia her friend who is assign by Aunt jenny to be her personal maid. Whenever she initiate any conversation with the maids all she got nod or one word answer. The problem what Lily realised is that, even though she married Leonard and he declare her as Madam of the Marshall house. But till now they don't consider as the Madam of the house.
Aunt jenny holds a prejudice against her since she married Leonard. Here servants only listen to Aunty jenny after their Master. She did here some of the gossips between them and inspite of being Aunt jenny present there, she didn't said anything to stop the gossip.
As she passing the kitchen she heard two maids talking about her "Did you see her arrogance. She first work here as a cook like us. But I must say, what a seductress! she is, no one among us could capture our Master attention but she in a month not only captured his attention but even married him." one of them said.
The other maid snicker "Obviously! she is anything but a gold digger. She thinks being friendly with us we will respect her. Who will respect such a preventions and scheming bitch!"
Lily raise one eyebrow 'Scheming bitch. It seems like I have become too lenient and friendly. You want to see a bitch then I will show you' thinking that she went their bedroom.
