The early morning romance was over, Edwards had left for work and I was back in the house alone. I sighed again, what Violet said was true. I don't have a lot of work and friends, I can only relax in the room without doing anything. I walked to the balcony of the room and sat there, looking at the pretty shady trees down there.
if I could work with Edwards, that would be great. so I don't have to languish in the room without knowing where to go. But Violet took my place, she instead wanted to meet with Edwards at the office and also at home, but that's okay. Because sometimes Edwards likes to steal the time to meet me and we can make out for quite a while.
When I think about what Edwards did this morning, I blush again.
ahhh! my husband is amazing.
Knock.
Knock.
A knock on the door made me get up from my seat, who's knocking on the door at this hour of the day? I opened the doorknob and saw a woman standing with a warm smile. in her hands, she carried a plate of food and a glass of avocado juice. I can tell by the color of the juice.
"Yes?." I asked confused because I didn't ask the waiter for food or drink at all.
"I'm the personal assistant that Mr. Edwards sent for Miss Choon-hee. I brought you lunch, I made myself. I think it will suit your taste buds very well." She said confidently, I just smiled and let she inside. I chose to take she to sit on the balcony of the room and we sat facing each other.
"What did you bring?" I asked casually.
"Its name is Nasi Mandhi, one of the most popular Middle Eastern basmati rice preparations. There is mutton that has been cooked quite tender. As for the meat, I bought it earlier. But for the rice and other seasonings, I make my own." she said slowly.
"Oh yeah? I've seen this food a few times on social media pages, but it's the first time I've seen it live and tried it. By the way, what's your name?." I asked, I started to take a spoon and scooped out the yellow rice with a very strong aroma of spices.
"My name is Laila, I am one of the people who are trusted to do important work. It is a fortune for me to be able to take care of Miss Choon-hee, this is a job that I quite enjoy. accompanying a wife of a wealthy businessman in the Douglas family." Laila's words only made me smile a little, I don't know what she meant by saying something like that. either she wanted to praise or she was used to getting acquainted in that way.
I don't want to bother, at least now I have friends to chat with. I've had enough of the problem with Daniel yesterday wanting to kill me, thankful that Edwards indirectly offered a personal assistant and bodyguard for me.
"Nice to meet you Laila, Edwards given you any important tasks other than to watch over me and keep me company?" I asked as I took a bite of the mutton which was very soft when it entered my mouth.
"There is nothing more important than taking care of Miss and also making sure she's not lonely." she speech is well-organized, I'm sure she's not a random person. There was no way that Edwards could just choose, even though he could get this woman so quickly, but Edwards must have known this woman for a long time or knew the person who channeled her.
"How old are you?" I asked again, just curious about what I deserved to know.
"28 years old lady," she said.
"Ahhh, we're almost the same age. Are you originally from this country? Or did you come from another country? I just wanted to know who works near me, so we can chat more comfortably afterward." I said things that Laila wished I could answer.
"I'm an immigrant from the Arabian Peninsula, I've lived in this country for a long time and worked behind the scenes. I'm one of Mr. Edwards' ten trusted people." It is short, concise, and very clear.
"Edwards has some people to trust?" I asked quite curiously because I never really knew what Edwards was doing.
"Yes, Miss. We are working in secret to do some important things." She only said the necessary things. I think she and the ten people mentioned above do have very important jobs, has Edwards formed a secret agency all this time? to spy on things? Maybe...
Considering that Edwards is a big businessman whose enemies must be very many, I feel that Edwards is also always keeping an eye on all the movements of the people in this Mansion. Sometimes people who seem weak and quiet are usually quite smart and conscientious.
He has many plans in his life. maybe this is what's happening to Edwards now, but whatever he does I'm sure it's for the best for us.
"I see. The food you brought is very good, I like the taste. Can you make some more for me sometime?" I asked with a smile, she already gave a friendly smile and nodded in approval.
"Whatever Miss ask, I will give." She said very politely, at least Laila could calm me down a bit. Because there is no need to be afraid of the threats of Daniel or Mrs. Anne.
"Miss, may I ask you a few questions?" Laila's voice made me nod, I drank avocado juice which was sweet but so fresh in my throat.
"Does Miss know the Berenices?" Laila asked quite seriously, I don't know how many times people have asked if I know the Berenice Family? what's going on with the Berenices and these people? Is that family very famous at all?
"I only know Mrs. Berenice, but I don't know her real name? Why?" I asked curiously. I've finished my lunch without leftovers, my stomach is suddenly full because the food on the plate was delicious and I like the taste.
"Mr. Edwards just told me that Miss is not allowed to meet the Berenices, so before I make a mistake at work. I must first find out about the Berenices and about whether you know their families well." Laila's words made sense, I just nodded in understanding.
"I don't think I have a close relationship with Mrs. Berenice or Berenice's family. I didn't even know her a few days ago. I went shopping and had dinner together, nothing else suspicious." I'm honest. I was quite curious about what the Zurich doctor said, who said that I had to take a good look at Mrs.. Berenice to know who she was.
