Chapter 677 The Young Maid
After all, the guest personally told her that she did not need to be attended to. Furthermore, Tessa also hoped to finish the flower arrangement early.
Just like that, one was arranging flowers, while another was reading magazines. The atmosphere was strangely harmonious.
After another ten minutes, Tessa inserted the last flower into the vase. Then, she felt she had accomplished something as she happily admired the bouquet before her.
With the delicate rose wrapped in green leaves and white tulips circling on the outside, the arrangement of the flowers seemed to resemble milk and rose. It looked gorgeous.
The more Tessa looked at it, the more she felt that she had a talent for flower arrangements.
She smiled happily as she admired her handiwork while holding the vase carefully. Then, she couldn’t help but lower her head and smell the flowers.
The fragrance of the flowers brightened up her smile even more.
Inadvertently glancing at Tessa, Janet could not help but frown. Doesn’t there anyone think this young maid is a little too pretty?
Despite wearing no makeup, the girl’s cheeks were alluring under the sunlight, especially with the sparkle in her eyes that made it seem as though she was a fae under the sunlight. It made her appear enchanting and pure.
Moreover, the more Janet looked at ‘the young maid’, the more she felt like she had seen the maid somewhere. However, she couldn’t recall just where she had seen this person before. Perhaps I’m overthinking things again. After all, this young maid said she had just reported for duty yesterday.
Just like that, she retracted her gaze. Nevertheless, she had other plans in her mind.
She was worried about having such a beautiful person besides Nicholas.
Therefore, when she saw him later, she intended to ask Nicholas to deploy ‘the young maid’ over to her side.
In the meantime, Tessa was unaware of Janet’s intentions as she pruned away some of the flower arrangement’s unwanted bits before she got up and woke Nicholas.
Unexpectedly, she heard footsteps coming from upstairs that gradually got louder.
Nicholas was dressed in a black suit as he walked down the stairs with a noble air. Each of his gestures exuded a sense of nobility and elegance.
His handsome facial features were like an art masterpiece carved by the deities.
When Janet heard the footsteps, she immediately put down the magazine and stood up with her lips formed into a smile.
However, a cheery voice rang in her ears before she could speak and interrupted her.
“Nicholas…” Then, she saw Tessa run toward Nicholas happily while holding the vase in one hand. “You’re awake.”
She raised her delicate face and looked at him with a smile as beautiful as a blooming flower.
At the same time, Nicholas looked at the girl’s bright smile, and his cold facial features gave way to a gentle smile at her infectious cheer as he nodded lightly in greeting.
“Look! These are the flowers Greg and I went to pick in the morning. Here, smell them.”
As she spoke, Tessa held the vase in front of him.
Nicholas glanced at her dotingly as he lowered his head and smelled the flowers. Then, he said warmly, “They’re quite fragrant and beautiful.”
“Of course. I was the one who arranged these flowers after all.” Tessa raised her chin slightly, looking like a proud kitten. She looked extremely adorable in this state.
Nicholas laughed, and his eyes were tender with affection.
At this moment, Tessa suddenly remembered that there was a guest next to her. So, she palmed her forehead in annoyance and said, “Oh, I’m so forgetful. I was so busy talking to you that I forgot we have a guest.”
Nicholas followed Tessa’s gaze upon hearing her words and saw Janet standing beside the sofa. At once, the smile on his face faded.
Meanwhile, Janet was so shocked that she was rendered speechless as she looked at the scene playing before her in disbelief.
I have never seen such a gentle and patient Nicholas before. Also, this woman is not a maid at all. She is the woman who seduced Nicholas, Tessa Reinhart! It’s no wonder I kept thinking she was familiar just now.
Sure enough, another reason for her not recognizing Tessa instantly was that most of the photos Kaiden showed her before only displayed Tessa’s side profile. Therefore, it was normal for her not to be able to recognize Tessa immediately.
Nicholas frowned when he noticed Janet’s complicated expressions fleeting across her face and asked, “What are you doing here?” His icy voice was completely different from just now.
Janet’s face stiffened at the differential treatment, then clenched and loosened her hands hanging by her side. She repeated the actions several times. Only then was she able to suppress the sorrow and hatred in her heart.
“I brought breakfast for you. It’s a medicinal broth that I specially asked someone to brew, and it’s really effective for wound recovery.” She softened her voice and tried her best to look virtuous.
