“Congratulations, you got the job! You can come to work this evening.”
Tina was over the moon. After going through the procedures needed to be on board, she took the keys and started her first day of work at the villa.
Fortunately, there wasn’t much she needed to do there. The owner had already hired experts to ensure the cleanliness of the place.
After a whole afternoon, Tina had finally finished her chores.
She heaved in deep breaths and wiped the sweat off her forehead, and muttered quietly under breath.
“I’ve been feeling very tired lately…”
In the past, she could work for the entire day without complaining. Now, she was already exhausted after half a day’s work
She sat there, her back sore and her legs cramped. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
While she was massaging her feet, the chauffeur called her.
“Miss Lynd, do you know how to drive? The owner of the villa will be returning this evening. Can you pick him up for me? I have an emergency to attend to today.”
“But I don’t know how to drive!”
“Can you hail a taxi?” The chauffeur chose his words carefully. “My child’s currently in the hospital. I have to stay by his side today. I’m really sorry for bothering you, but I’ll definitely pay you for your service…”
At this, Tina immediately replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll cover for you.”
“Thank you, Miss Lynd.” After Tina hung up the phone, she received details about the specific airline and a mobile phone number.
For some reason, the number seemed oddly familiar.
Tina brushed off the thought. Looking carefully at the details, she noticed that the owner would arrive at Freesia at two in the afternoon. At that time, her job would be to stand at the
arrivals to pick him up.
If he didn’t show up, Tina would have to call him. After she rested for a while until her feet felt better, she hailed a taxi and rushed to the airport.
There were many people at the arrivals. She squeezed into the front of the crowd, holding on steadfastly to the banner.
A lot of people came and went past her, but she still hadn’t met the owner.
Her hands soon grew sore from raising the banner for too long, and she thought, ‘Did I get
the details right?’
She took out the phone from her pocket. Just when she was about to make a phone call, someone jostled through the crowd and forced her to the side. “Make way!” Tina didn’t have time to react and she was pushed behind.
She was about to fall, but someone supported her back with his arms.
Tina never thought she would be saved by a stranger. She stood up and straightened her back, and immediately thanked him. “Thank you.” “No worries!” A cheerful voice sounded beside her. Soon after, they looked into each other’s eyes and blurted out in unison: “It’s you!”
Tina was pleasantly surprised. The person in front of her was none other than Mr. Jackson, who saved her from her terrible fate that day. She didn’t even have the chance to thank him.
Frederick Jackson, meanwhile, didn’t expect to see Tina here at all. “Mr. Jackson, what a coincidence! I still haven’t had the chance to thank you for saving me back then!”
While Tina was speaking, she saw his luggage behind him and asked, “You just got back?” Frederick replied, “Yeah. My chauffeur can’t make it today, so the new housekeeper is supposed to be here to pick me up instead. I’m not sure where she went.” “I’m waiting for someone, too…”
Tina bid farewell to Mr. Jackson, and was about to call her boss.
She had just walked a few steps before someone’s phone rang behind her.
Coincidentally, the ringtone came from Mr. Jackson’s pocket.
