"I know, Miss Cecilia!" Aunt Ann said as she looked at Cecilia while developing a smile. Aunt Ann was the first time she'd seen her employer so worried about a woman. Aunt Ann thought maybe this woman must be extraordinary in her Master's life.
"Thank you, Aunt Ann."
Suddenly, Cecilia heard the sound of a bell ringing from the direction of the entrance. Aunt Ann walked towards the door to look out through the doorway. After that, Aunt Ann opened the door without any worries from her.
Several men went back and forth into the apartment. One of the women was seen writing something in her hand. After they finished with their task, they immediately bowed towards Cecilia and quickly left the apartment.
"Aunt Ann, who are they?" asked a curious Cecilia. Everyone who passed by in the apartment just now moved so fast, Cecilia was confused about what they were doing in Mark Lawson's apartment.
"Oh that, it was an order from Master. Now, the young lady was writing down what was needed." Aunt Ann said, explaining to Cecilia with a friendly smile.
"Oh, I see, ma'am."
Cecilia tilted her head. She had seen someone carrying a pile of clothes into the main room.
Cecilia reached out for a drinking glass, and then she walked away to enter the room.
Her guess was right. In the room, there are a lot of clothes and unexpected things!
Crazy! This is a waste of money! Cecilia, are you going to lie to yourself?
Cecilia felt like crying. Three years ago, when she broke up with Mark Lawson, she shouldn't have used bad excuses. However, Cecilia told Mark Lawson that she wanted to break up with him to have a better life.
What kind of excuse is that, Cecilia? Due to your stupid reasons, what has happened has been chaos until now!
Cecilia tried on various clothes that Mark Lawson gave her. If the guess is correct, the clothes, shoes, and various kinds of jewelry that fill the wardrobe are all the latest products.
Now, Mark Lawson's life has changed, and he can buy whatever he wants. And now, he could meet all Cecilia's needs to the point of buying the things that filled the cupboard in her room.
Is it true that he only sees me as a means of satisfaction in bed? Or can I be called a mistress?
As soon as she thought of that, Cecilia smiled bitterly.
Suddenly, Cecilia heard the doorbell ring again from Mark Lawson's apartment.
Did someone deliver any more stuff?
Cecilia walked out of the master bedroom towards the door. When he looked into the doorway, it was Jack Caesar!
"Brother! Why did you come here?" Cecilia asked in a voice lowered so that no one else could hear.
True, Cecilia's ex-husband, Jack Caesar, is a half-brother with a different father. They were both sisters of the same mother, and their mother was named Lydia Hany.
However, they both felt hurt by that woman called 'mother.' Their mother, Lydia Hany, and Yan Caesar, the owners of the Caesar Group, killed Cecilia's father. Then, Lydia Hany succeeded in becoming the wife of a businessman and owner of the giant Caesar Group business group.
Meanwhile, the mother of Jack Caesar has been only his stepmother, not his biological mother. The stepmother who had cared for Jack Caesar since he was born died alone without the company of her husband, Yan Caesar.
They share the same pain and hatred. And the two of them, Cecilia and Jack Caesar, were looking for evidence of the unnatural death Cecilia's father had experienced together.
"I just wanted to meet you." said Jack Caesar with a laugh.
Cecilia reached out her hand to hug Jack Caesar. She felt that she and her stepbrother were suffering from problems in her family.
Aunt Ann, who caught Cecilia and Jack Caesar, felt very uncomfortable. Aunt Ann thought, why do young people like to hug like that?
"Eh, later someone will see us, how? Still don't want to leave?" said Jack Caesar reassuring her brother as he looked around. Cecilia always looks optimistic in front of her, but sometimes she can be like a child.
"Okay, okay... I'm off." Cecilia said while smiling very beautifully. Then, Cecilia stood tall beside Jack Caesar like a soldier waiting for orders from his superiors.
"Aunt Ann, can I have another set of chopsticks please?" Cecilia asked Aunt Ann with a smile. Today was the first day he could meet his family after being around Mark Lawson for so long.
"Okay, No!" said Aunt Ann, who was still confused by the behavior of the two young people in front of her. However, Aunt Ann remained obedient to her orders to fetch a set of chopsticks for the male guest.
"Bro, you definitely haven't eaten, right? Here we eat together! Aunt Ann, come eat with us!"
Cecilia waved at Aunt Ann to join herself and Jack Caesar for a meal. Cecilia never used the terms' servant' or 'maid.' For Cecilia, those who work to help the house owner's work are the same as parents themselves. So, why should it be different?
"No need, No. Auntie had already eaten. Later, when Miss Cecilia has finished eating, Auntie will call the driver to pick up Non!" said Aunt Ann, raising her right hand and shaking her head.
Aunt Ann was taken aback by Cecilia's attitude towards her. Aunt Ann felt like it was the first time she'd seen a woman as kind as Cecilia. The kindness Cecilia showed Aunt Ann was also a noble intention!
"To pick me up, ma'am?" asked Cecilia, who looked confused while pointing at herself.
Why should I be picked up? Where do I want to go?
Jack Caesar also looked surprised.
"Look, Miss," Aunt Ann choked. She was hesitating and also at a loss as to how to convey it to Cecilia.
The intelligent Cecilia immediately understood why Aunt Ann looked hesitant, "Auntie, just say so. There are no foreigners here!"
"Okay, No." Aunt Ann said while nodding. Aunt Ann also had to listen to her employer, "Master said that Non Cecilia would like to be picked up at the villa."
"Villa, Miss? Mark Lawson's villa?!" Cecilia asked, looking both surprised and confused.
"That's right, No." Aunt Ann replied, nodding.
"So it turns out that this isn't his house..." Cecilia mumbled as she looked around to see every corner of the apartment. Cecilia loved this place, and Cecilia felt comfortable being here. Cecilia could see the city view through the large windows in the main bedroom of the apartment.
Aunt Ann smiled bitterly when she heard Cecilia's muttering. Aunt Ann was sad. The word 'home' was not in Mark Lawson's dictionary of life.
"No, Miss, that Young Master lives in the villa. If it's only here…" Aunt Ann stopped her sentence again. Aunt Ann was worried if she talked too much to other people.
"How are you, ma'am?" Cecilia asked out of curiosity. He was so curious about everything that had to do with Mark Lawson.
"Oh no, Miss. Uh, said Miss Cecilia wants to eat. Come on, eat the food first. It's going to be cold!" Aunt Ann tried to divert the conversation. Aunt Ann felt that it would not be good for her to keep talking about her mistress. Cecilia, who understood Aunt Ann's intentions, just nodded while smiling at the middle-aged woman.
Aunt Ann said goodbye to Cecilia and Jack Caesar and left the two of them to go into her room.
