I kept my head down and ate, while Olly didn't say much. It was clear that the girl had a lot to say.
"Senior, I already know about your situation with Mr. Barker. Since you're hired by Mr. Barker, he wouldn't mind if I came over for lunch every day, right?"
Olly's expression was normal, but my face turned terribly awkward. Did Olly really see me as a nanny?
Was I supposed to serve this young girl?
"Olly, you really are something!"
The girl exchanged glances with Olly. Just as Olly was about to speak, I interrupted him.
"You serve yourself!"
I took the fork, washed my own portion, and went back to my room.
I knew this was just the beginning.
I looked bitterly at the only forty thousand dollars I had saved and steeled myself.
After Zoe left, we had our first argument due to discord.
"Olly, if you're going to flirt with that little vixen in front of me, I'll give you what you want. I'll sell my share of the property to you at market price, and I'll move out with the two kids to clear the space for you."
Olly didn't expect me to bring this up, and his face turned dark.
