Chapter 71 A Dead Rat
Chapter 71 A Dead Rat
Yolande had been busy for the whole afternoon. Unconsciously, it was late afternoon and the sun was rising. She looked up at the tall buildings on the opposite side. The sunset background made the scenery outside the window very beautiful.
It was a nice and fulfilling day and Yolande was in good mood now. A smile appeared on her face. Everything was going to be fine.
She cleared up her messy office table and was about to get off work. When she saw the financial information given by Austin from the corner of her eyes, she hesitated. Then she took a document from her folder and prepared to go back home to continue her financial work in the evening.
Austin was seldom at home, and Yolande was also bored staying in the villa alone. She didn't want to be bored and did some financial research.
"Let the driver send you home first. I have work to do. I'll go back later."
Austin buried his head in the files and said to Yolande, who had come to his office and asked him to go home after work.
"Oh, I see. ;"
Holding a document in her arms, the woman gazed at the man in front of her, who was going through a lot of documents. There was something different in her eyes. However, since he had been in poor health and was a workaholic, he had been so busy that he had no time to care about his health.
You should go home with me, continue to do your work tomorrow, and take more rest.
Somehow, she didn't know how to say these words. It seemed that unwittingly, showing her concern for him was embarrassing. The woman's face flushed and she lowered her head, speechless.
"Then I gotta go. "
To prevent Austin from seeing her red face, Yolande walked out of his office in a hurry while stuttering.
Austin couldn't help smiling when he saw Yolande leaving the room awkwardly.
Recently, he had to work overtime for several big projects in his company. Austin had planned to spend more time with her after work, but now he had to leave her alone.
Although she seldom talked to him, Austin knew that Yolande had been bored to death staying alone in the villa.
In the Lin Villa
When Yolande returned to the villa, it was completely dark. She was already hungry. She put the financial work materials on the counter and changed her shoes at the door.
"Mona, what did you cook for dinner?"
Yolande lowered her head to look for her slippers while she was talking to Mona. Her slippers were always put on the top of the shoe cabinet, but now they disappeared. So she wondered if Mona had cleaned them.
Without thinking too much, she took off her high-heeled shoes and randomly picked up a pair of flat shoes to wear. After a while, she asked Mona if she had seen her slippers.
"Welcome back, my ladyship. The dishes you made are all my ladyship's favorite. You must be hungry. Please come and eat some."
From the direction of the dining table came Mona's benign voice. After being mentioned by Mona, Yolande was hungrier.
Mona had already placed the dishes on the table. On her slippers, Yolande ran to the table and looked at the delicious dishes. Her mouth watered.
"Wash your hands, ladyship. Then we can have dinner."
"Okay."
Yolande knew that Austin must have required the cleaning.
After washing her hands, Yolande sat back to the dining table and started to eat. She picked up a chicken leg and put it in her bowl. The chicken was in bright color and her saliva almost flew down. Yolande immediately took a bite.
"Yummy!"
Mona smiled kindly and said, "enjoy your meal, my lady."
Yolande nodded while her hands and mouth moving quickly.
Back in college, Yolande was a notorious foodie. She often bought food in the supermarket which was the nearest to her school when the class ended. Then she rushed back to the classroom before the class started.
But since she married Aron, she stopped these hobbies.
After she moved into the Lin family's house, she ate all kinds of delicious food that Mona cooked every day. With the care of Austin and Mona, she was in a good mood and her appetite also increased a lot. She became much fatter than before, and her figure was more beautiful than before.
She had just been discharged from the hospital and her clothes were too tight to wear.
When she was in hospital, Yolande was as thin as a lath. Austin didn't like her to be so thin, so he would say, "too thin is not healthy."
Yolande picked up a piece of red cooked pork and put it into her mouth. The braised meat cooked by Mona was always delicious, and was better than the food cooked by restaurants.
Although Austin didn't have meals at home most of the time, Yolande had meals with Mona instead of eating alone.
In the Gu's house, Yolande ate every meal on her own, and even the servant wouldn't accompany her to eat. Even when Aron was at home, his meals were often taken to the study by the servant alone.
Well, such a man didn't deserve her to be sad. Yolande sighed and continued to eat.
After a good meal, Yolande lay on the sofa with her eyes closed. She rushed into the kitchen to wash dishes.
"Mona, where are my slippers? Did yo wash them?"
"No, lady. I just washed your slippers last week."
Mona looked back at Yolande and said. Yolande was in puzzlement.
"I'll go and look for them."
She went back to the living room and walked to the wardrobe. She was sure that she didn't have her slippers on the top. Suddenly, she saw that she put her slippers at the bottom of the wardrobe. It seemed that there was blood on them.
Yolande reached out for her slippers, but the next second, she threw them onto the ground with a scream of horror.
"Ahhh!"
She shivered and stepped back. Her eyes were filled with horror and Mona came to her when she heard the voice. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
"What's wrong, lady?"
"there is There is something... "
With Yolande's trembling body and stammering voice, Mona bent down and turned over her slippers. A bloody dead rat with its eyes wide open, its body was mangled and even its internal organs were partly hidden and partly visible. Mona was shocked.
Yolande fell to the ground in horror, her back in cold sweat. Why was there a dead mouse in her villa, and it was in her slippers, as if someone deliberately put it in.
Mona threw the dead mouse into a plastic bag and called the housekeeper to throw it away.
Yolande was breathing fast and her heart beat fast. She knew very well that the dead mouse was coming at her.
"The mouse has been thrown away. Get up, I'm calling the young master."
Mona helped Yolande up and sat on the sofa. But Yolande grabbed her sleeve.
"I'm fine, Mona. Don't tell Austin. It's just a dead mouse."
Yolande begged again and again, looking embarrassed. And Mona had to promise that she wouldn't call Austin.
