"Get off work?" Leena looked at her in confusion. She couldn't understand what the woman in front of her was saying at first. Then she remembered the "servant" the woman had mentioned earlier. Leena remembered that this woman had mistaken her for the servant. "I don't have to get off work. I live here," Leena said.
"What? What do you mean by 'live here'? How is that possible? Besides, the last time I was here, I didn't even see you! Or are you newly hired?" Even as Louisa uttered these words, she felt nervous. She had a bad feeling about this. What if what she was thinking was true?
Leena pursed her lips and was about to explain, but right then, she heard a sound of someone opening the door. She stopped and turned to look at it. She knew it must be Kevin, since it was time for him to come back from work. Leena relaxed a bit. On the other hand, Louisa panicked. She didn't know what to do. She had crossed paths with Kevin too many times recently. She doubted he would be happy to see her.
Kevin was in a very good mood. Even though he had worked the entire day at the army base, a small smile lingered on his face. However, as soon as he saw Louisa inside the house, his eyebrows drew together and he frowned. The laughter in his eyes disappeared. When he turned to face Leena, his eyes brimmed with affection once again.
"Kevin, you are back." Louisa had a big smile on her face, but it seemed to be forced. Her smile hid the anxiety she felt deep down. She was afraid that Kevin would say something that would embarrass her. After all, she had come to his house without even asking for his permission first. It was a bit rude of her, come to think of it.
"Yeah! How come yo
hands! Dinner is ready." A sweet smile appeared on Leena's beautiful face, and it was all because of his small, intimate gesture just now. He had noticed a single strand of her hair falling into her eyes and pushed it behind her ear. It looked like he was truly paying attention. She was moved by his action and forgot about the rude words Louisa had said to her that made her so unhappy.
"Oh! I forgot to introduce you two to each other. This is Louisa Ye, daughter of the commander. You two already met just now, right?" Kevin asked Leena. He wanted to make sure Leena knew who Louisa was, so her suspicions would be at rest. Besides, Louisa was already in the room, so she must have at least introduced herself when she rang the bell.
"Oh, you are Miss Ye. Nice to meet you. I'm Leena Leng," Leena spoke, introducing herself to Louisa in a friendly manner. She put out her hand, wanting to shake Louisa's. But to her surprise, Louisa just bluntly ignored her. She snorted, like she didn't want to bother shaking hands with her. It seemed very rude, not only to Leena, but also to Kevin. He was Leena's husband, after all.
