Chapter 4
Oarlan’s point of view
I returned the doctor to the hotel but did not see Leanna. I couldn’t help but wonder.
“It’s weird, Mr. Edmund appears normal, and there is no indication of being drugged,” the doctor observed as he examined the president’s body.
“Really?” I said, confused.
Mr Edmund was awakened by the voice. When I saw him wake up, I exclaimed, “President, you woke up? How do you feel?”
He sat up in bed and wiped his eyes.
“If you feel dizzy, take a break and you will be alright. Oarlan, since Mr. Edmund is fine, I won’t trouble you. If you have any requirements in the future, please come to me anytime.”
I escorted the doctor out the door.
Edmund’s point of view
I slid out of bed and reached for a drink of water. Suddenly, I felt that there was something under my feet. When I shifted my feet, I discovered a moon-shaped diamond stud on the floor.
I knelt to pick up the earrings. I simply had a strange feeling. Before I could examine closely, Oarlan had arrived with a glass of water.
“President, I didn’t anticipate Ivan Hill to be so disgusting; he used such a foul method to allow you to marry his granddaughter.” “Hand me the cup,” he shouted furiously.
I took two mouthfuls of water after getting the water cup, and my brain gradually restored. “I intended to preserve his life for grandpa’s sake; because he is so ungrateful, I don’t need to be courteous to him; I hope the Hill Group will no longer exist in the world within a week.”
“Don’t worry. I will draw up an acquisition plan right away, and guarantee that everything in the Hill family will belong to the King family in less than a week.” Oarlan said with a confident face.
Oarlan’s point of view
I saw Mr Edmund seemed to have doubts on his face, so I carefully asked, “President, have you seen Miss Leanna?”
Mr. Edmund’s brows were slightly clustered, as if he was recalling something.
“I phoned Miss Leanna to take care of you after I sent you back to your room,” I said, “but when I returned with the doctor, I found her not here. Do you think she is…”
“All right,” he cut me off, “but first go back to the club.”
“Yes,” I said as I proceeded to assist him acquire a suit and coat before accompanying him back to the club.
When I returned to the clubhouse, I saw that the door to the servant room was open, but there was no Leanna inside.
Leanna’s point of view
I did not return to the club after leaving, but instead went straight to the single apartment I had leased.
When I opened the door, the first thing I did was fill a huge vat with hot water and immerse myself in it, hoping that the warmth of the water would alleviate my pain.
When I close my eyes, my mind is filled with images of Edmund.
The first, second, and third times… till tonight
It’s as clear as a movie.
Although I’m not sure why he did this tonight, it’s evident that he went insane.
Is it because he’s inebriated?
I’ve been working at the club for a year, and I know that a really inebriated person is incapable of performing such things.
Even though I don’t want to accept it, I can see he’s not the same person he used to be.
He clearly regarded my sentiments three years ago and tried to be as kind as possible.
And tonight, he’s like a ravenous lion out to devour me.
Awful, dreadful, terrible
I don’t want to be associated with him anymore, and I don’t want to remember what happened three years ago.
Staying away from him has been my only option!

Alvin’s point of view
Leanna came to the workplace early in the morning and immediately followed me.
“General Manager, I have something to tell you.” She seemed weary, with an eyebag under her large watery eyes.
I was astonished to find her in this state, but I quickly invited her to sit on the couch and poured her a cup of coffee.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“I want to go back to the Entertainment Department; please arrange for someone from the Housekeeping Department to take over my duties,” she added, taking the coffee and placing it straight on the tea table.
This surprised me. I immediately asked, “What’s the matter? You offended Mr. Edmund? This is terrible. How did I tell you before? Let you serve him well. Why do you still…”
“No, I didn’t insult him,” she hastily said.
I exhaled a deep sigh of relief and made a happy expression. ” you were so capable, how could you not deal with that Mr. Edmund?”
Then I looked at her curiously, “But since you didn’t offend him, why did you change your position?”
“I…” She paused .
I coughed as she seemed to be about to speak but then stopped. “Leanna, it’s time for the club to need you. It’s rare that Mr. Edmund is satisfied with you. You can’t made me upset at this critical moment. I know it’s not easy to serve Mr. Edmund, so I will grant you more bonuses this month when this thing is over.”
“That’s not the case, Mr. Alvin. I’m not requesting any further incentives,” she hastily said, waving her hand.
There is no error in the job, and there is no reason to desire greater compensation. Why?
“After all, I’m not from the Housekeeping Department, and I’m not familiar with the business; I’m not confident that I can do this job; and, while I haven’t done anything wrong yet, it’s difficult to guarantee that I won’t do something wrong one day and offend this big man, which may implicate the club…”
“This is truly a problem. I didn’t think carefully before, and the circumstances at the time didn’t allow me to reject, so I let you assume the post straight. If I replace you now, I won’t be able to explain to Mr. Edmund.”
Leanna’s point of view
Hearing Alvin’s trepidation, I rushed to say, “General Manager, you can be certain that Mr. Edmund would have no trouble; after all, Venus is better than me in this regard; Mr. Edmund can even suffer with me; Venus would undoubtedly perform better than me.”
“In this case, go to Venus to finish the handover processes, give her Mr. Edmund’s essential information, and let her move to your post; you’d best go back to the Entertainment Department yourself,” he continued after a little pause.
“Yes, Mr. Alvin, thank you.” With the authorization to change postings, I felt relieved, and my tone lightened.
I stood up, thanked Alvin, and exited.
“Remember to explain the situation to Mr. Edmund, and don’t let others think we are making our own decisions.” Alvin told behind me.
Of course, I’m not going to tell Edmund I’m leaving. He is the person I am most frightened of seeing right now.
the Housekeeping Department,
When I arrived to the Housekeeping Department, I explained my intentions to Venus, who was startled at first, but then consented gladly.
Venus’s point of view
When I got to the presidential suite, Edmund had not got up, so I waited in the living room.
I soon heard something emanating from inside. Mr Edmund seemed to have gotten up and cleaned his hands.
He soon arrived to the restaurant for brunch.
When I saw him leave the room, I approached him and said, “Mr. Edmund, good morning.”
When he noticed me, his brows furrowed slightly.
Mr. Edmund’s assistant Oarlan emerged from the second bedroom, yawned, and entered the living room. When he spotted me, he questioned, “Who are you, and where is Leanna?”
“Miss Leanna was originally the manager of the Entertainment Department. She was not familiar with the housekeeper business. She was probably concerned about her poor service, Mr. Edmund, so she explained the situation to Mr. Alvin and returned to the Entertainment Department. I will take over the responsibility of taking care of Mr. Edmund’s food and clothing in City X in the coming days.”
Before I could continue, Edmund raised his hand and said, “Call her here.”
“Huh?” I wasn’t sure what he meant.
He went out the door, lifting his foot.
“Mr. Edmund…” I was taken aback and wanted to follow.
“Miss Venus, right? Go back and tell your Mr. Alvin that if you can’t arrange a respectable housekeeper in your club, we may consider transferring clubs,” Oarlan said, raising his hand.
“This…” I’m not sure what I did wrong or how I ended myself as an unqualified housekeeper.
Knowing that I had not been welcomed, I could only bear it and quietly exited the room, despite my reluctance to accept it.
