Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 783

After he imagined so many times of how Elaine's workplace would look like, today, he finally got the chance to see it.

When Paul saw it, he was surprised. "Elaine, this house is so luxurious."

No matter the decoration or furniture, at first glance, he knew that they were all expensive.

Slowly, Elaine introduced, "This is a duplex, and it is divided into two floors. The ground floor has a gym and a study, and also a huge living room. Usually, Dr. Perkins would gather his friends in this living room. The second floor has a master bedroom and a guest room. So, this is where I work every day."

However, he was not interested in her job at all. On the contrary, he was very interested in the house.

"Elaine, this house must be worth quite a bit, right." With a smile, he said.

Then, she nodded. "It is located in the center of the city, and it's the best sector in the city. Indeed, it's very expensive."

Immediately, Paul sighed, "I would never be able to afford it for the rest of my life."

With a faint smile, Elaine said, "You have to study hard and find a good job in the future. Then, you will be able to have what you want in the future."

"It easier to be said than done." At that moment, he wanted to go to the second floor, but she held him back and said, "The second floor is Dr. Perkins' private area, and he has many valuable things. Don't go upstairs. You may stay downstairs and have a look around."

But Paul did not take it seriously. "I'm just going up to have a look, and it's not that I'm going to do anything bad. Elaine, do you have to be careful with me?"

"I'm not..."

"I'm just going to have a look!"

Hurriedly, Paul shook off her hand and strode up the stairs.

It was then that Elaine followed closely.

After he headed upstairs, he looked carefully at the surroundings. In the end, he even wanted to take photos with his mobile phone. Immediately, she stopped him, "Paul, what are you doing?"

"I want to take some photos and show them to my classmates since they always look down on me."

With a frown, Elaine uttered, "You're just trying to be a vain person. What's the point of showing it to your classmates when it's not even yours?"

Those words made Paul a little unhappy, so he finally compromised. "I'll stop taking photos then. I need to use the bathroom. There's no problem with using the bathroom, right?"

Then, she dragged him downstairs. "Use the bathroom downstairs."

Reluctantly, he followed her downstairs.

When he came out of the bathroom and saw that Elaine was nowhere to be found, he shouted, "Elaine, where are you?"

A moment later, her voice came from upstairs and said, "I am cleaning up the garbage in the kitchen. Wait a minute. I'll come down soon."

"I'll wait for you here then."

As he sat on the sofa and looked around, he noticed Elaine's bag near the entrance. For a moment, he thought about something, then stood up and walked over.

Soon, Elaine held the garbage bag in hand and walked down the stairs. When she saw that Paul was sitting obediently on the sofa and did not touch anything, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go."

Quietly, he trailed behind her and left the house.

After they threw the garbage and walked out of the apartment, she found that Paul was unusually quiet. Although she tried to talk to him several times, he seemed to be absent-minded.

"What's wrong with you?" Curiously, she asked.

Immediately, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I was shocked at how rich the rich could be. Poor people like us probably would not even be able to afford a rich man's bathroom for the rest of our lives."

However, Elaine felt that it was wrong of him to think so. "Those rich people didn't have money falling from the sky either. It was all earned by their own efforts. If you study hard, I'm sure you will have a good future in the future."

"Mhmm," In a low voice, Paul replied.

Without taking it to heart, Elaine continued to say, "You will be heading back tomorrow. Is there any place that you want to visit today? Let me know if there's anything that you feel like eating, and I will take you there."

"I don't have anything in mind." Suddenly, he asked, "Elaine, why is Dr. Perkins not home? Is he at work?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about him?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Well, I thought of meeting him and thank him for taking good care of you."

Those words made Elaine feel warm. Silently, she thought that he was good by nature, and it was just that he had been listening to those gossips, which made have such radical thoughts. As long as she explained it clearly to him, he would be able to understand her better.

"Dr. Perkins probably won't come home today. He has a villa, and he will be staying there for the next two days, so you will not be able to meet him, but I'll tell him that you are grateful for him. I guess you've really grown up now." With a smile, Elaine uttered.

Suddenly, Paul lowered his gaze. "Elaine, I've misunderstood you. I'm sorry."

Touched, she answered, "It doesn't matter. We are a family, and I don't blame you. As long as you can distinguish right from wrong, I'm happy."

As they were talking, they did not notice a car coming slowly from a distance.

"Miss Jacob!"

Suddenly, someone called her behind her back.

Looking back, she realized that it was Morgan. Surprised, she asked, "Morgan, why are you here?"

"As expected, you're really here." With a smile, Morgan replied, "I'm here to fetch you home."

"Huh?" Puzzled, Elaine asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's almost dinner time, so the mister ordered me to come to pick you up and prepare for dinner." Happily, he looked at her kindly and said.

When Elaine looked at the time, it was indeed almost time to cook, but there were so many servants in the villa, so why did Dr. Perkins have to insist for her to go back to cook?

Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to say it loud. After all, she was still Howard's servant.

"Wait a minute." Then, she turned to look at Paul. "Is it okay for you to head back alone? Do you know the way? Go back to the hotel to have a rest first. I'll go back and prepare dinner for Dr. Perkins, and then I'll take you out for dinner."

Proudly, Paul patted his chest and said, "Elaine, don't worry. I'm an adult already, and I have no problem with being alone. Also, don't come back here tonight. It's too tiring for you to run around. I'll go out for dinner at night and then head back to the hotel to sleep so that I can have enough energy and take a taxi back tomorrow."

"Okay then. If anything happens, give me a call."

After a moment of thought, she turned to Morgan and said, "Morgan, can I give your number to my brother?"

Since Elaine did not have a phone, Paul could contact her through Morgan if he needed help.

Immedaitely, Morgan nodded and said, "Of course."

However, he could not remember his own number. Just as he was about to flip through his phone to find his number, he heard that Elaine was already giving her brother his number.

In fact, he was surprised.

As she gave his number to Paul, she said, "This is Morgan's number. You can save it on your phone. Call him if you need anything."

Hurriedly, Paul went to fetch his phone. "Elaine, slow down. I can't remember."

Patiently, Elaine waited for him to take out the phone and repeated the number. After she saw him save the number, she finally felt at ease to leave.

It was until Paul watched the car drove a distance only did he withdrew his gaze.

Then, he walked to a corner, took out his phone, and dialed a number. After the call was connected, he lowered his voice and said, "Hello, Allen. I've got what you wanted, and my sister had just left. There's no one at home tonight, so let's get it done today."

In the car.

A moment later, Elaine pointed to a shopping mall not far ahead and said, "Morgan, there aren't many ingredients at home. Let's head to the supermarket to buy some ingredients. They sell things at a fair price."

In fact, she was familiar with the supermarkets and malls nearby. In order to save money for Howard, she went to every supermarket and compared the prices to find the supermarket with the fairest price.

"Miss Jacob, may I ask, how did you know my phone number earlier? I didn't even tell you about it."

About that, Morgan was very surprised.

After she thought for a moment, she said, "This morning, when I used your mobile phone to search for Master Black's portrait on the Internet, I accidentally saw your contact folder, and your phone number was stated in it. At a glance, I managed to remember it."

Shocked, he asked, "You were able to remember it with just a glance?"
