Chapter 43 I Don’t Think He Works
It suddenly dawned on Cherise. “That’s right. You’re friends with the head, Lila.”
She could work here thanks to Ian and Lila’s good relationship. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Otherwise, how could she have found a well–paying job that suited her?
“Ian, it’s so late. Did you come to look for Lila?”
She asked with a frown.
Lila was pretty, competent, and intelligent. She should be the type of woman Ian liked.
The man’s hands on the steering wheel froze slightly. “Sort of.”
Lila Gurwell had called and asked him out for dinner in the evening, but he turned her down.
“I thought you got off work at seven.”
He had come to wait for her to get off work and had been waiting since seven,
“I just started working, and I’m unfamiliar with everything.”
Cherise laughed embarrassedly. “Lila didn’t make me work overtime. I’m not skilled enough, so I got off work late.”
Ian smiled. “I’m quite familiar with the work here. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can call me and ask.”
Cherise nodded. “Thank you, Ian.”
So many years had passed, but Ian was still as gentle and friendly as he was back then.
“We’ve been friends for so many years. I feel like calling me fan‘ is very solemn. If you don’t mind, you can call me ‘E.”
E…
Such a nickname was too intimate.
Cherise waved her hands. “I think I’ll continue calling you Ian. After all, you’re older than me.”
After that, the car was momentarily silent.
After a long time, lan coughed lightly. “Why are you working part–time all of a sudden? Are you in trouble lately?”
Actually, Ian wanted to ask Cherise this question in the afternoon.
But she stammered and said she wanted to sign up for cooking classes.
She really didn’t know how to lie.
She was such a sensible and capable girl. No one would believe that she didn’t know how to cook.
“I’m not in trouble.”
She smiled as she denied it.
The man in the driver’s seat asked, “If you need money, you can tell me. Even though I haven’t worked long, my pay is decent!”
After that, Ian couldn’t help but start to show off. “I bought this car with my own money for around two hundred thousand. All my classmates are jealous of me.”
Cherise looked at him enviously. “As expected, you’re amazing, Ian.”
“It would be great if I could be as excellent as you, Ian.”
Ian smiled, pleased with himself. “As long as you work hard, nothing is impossible.”
“By the way, Cherise, you haven’t told me where you’re staying!”
Cherise quietly told him Swan Lake Chateau’s address.
Ian was in awe for a long time. “Swan Lake Chateau? Is that the exclusive villa area for wealthy people?”
Cherise nodded. “I don’t think there’s another Swan Lake Chateau, right?”
The astonishment in Ian’s gaze lingered for a long time. “What… What does your husband work as?”
The villas in Swan Lake Chateau were so expensive that many didn’t even dare to imagine living
there.
“I don’t think he works.”
Cherise answered honestly. “He stays at home every day, drinks tea, listens to the news, and chats with the butler, Mr. Hampson, and the driver, Mr. Kolson…”
“Is his family rich?”
“I think so.”
Ian’s smile completely froze on his face. “So you must be… quite happy being married to him.”
“However.”
Ian furrowed his brows. “Since he’s so rich, why are you working part–time outside to earn money, Cherise?”
If the man treats her well, she can act coyly in front of him and ask for money. Since he can stay in Swan Lake Chateau without working, he must spend his money extravagantly.
Cherise took a deep breath and started to regret telling lan about her personal matters. “He doesn’t know I’m working part–time. I don’t want to let him know either.”
