CEO's Secret Husband
|27|. Working In Another Residence

Maribel was unable to regard her uncle and aunt as family given what cruel things they had done. He therefore fought very persistently to take over the company, all to fight for ownership as well to strengthen his position.

Or else, he would only live as a sacrifice for his greedy and ruthless uncle and aunt.

"Because just to support yourself, I don't think you need to work too hard for that, am I right?"

Maribel quickly shook her head, "Of course not"

"Why?"

"Let's live in a big city like this is not easy for a single girl like me. Everything is expensive and especially as a girl, of course sometimes I have a desire to buy some branded goods, not to mention a set of beauty care tools and cosmetic products that are quite draining of the wallet. So, of course I have to have more money for all that"

Paying attention to the appearance of the girl, who instead of looking like a waitress but more like a well-groomed career woman, he finally understood why.

"So you worked hard for all that? Why don't you realize in—" When you're about to say that, Aldrich suddenly remembered his mother. Since working hard to live her, her mother's beauty was slightly disguised with lines of fatigue on her face.

At that time, his mother was still working odd jobs. But when he decided to work in a bar. His face though looked charming and alluring, but a listless line always enveloped his profile. Often she even had hives on her face from using cheap cosmetic brands, but she had no choice but to keep using them to save on expenses.

Remembering that, his heart became sick.

"I can raise your pay if you want. So there's no need to take another job outside"

Maribel had not expected to hear such an answer from Aldrich.

'He's. someone who's quite generous turns out'

His heart smiled gently with that thought. But on the other hand he felt guilty for lying to the man.

"That doesn't need to be master" his eyes narrowed with a sincere smile, "I would only feel bad if asking you for it"

"Then it's convenient for you to ask for a side job somewhere else?"

Maribel bit her lip, "That's it.."

"Go!"

"Y-yes?" Maribel's heart is beating fast. What the hell does this mean? Gone off? Is he fired?

Aldrich pinched his pair of eyebrows in annoyance, "Aren't you going to work?"

Maribel's brown eyes instantly rose with a bright smile, "Ah, so you mean.I can.."

"Hum, so leave before I change my mind"

Maribel pranced cheerfully as she exclaimed in excitement, "Thank you very much sir... Then I'll go first"

"Wait"

Maribel immediately stopped her steps, "Yes?"

"Today I'll go out and be back in the afternoon. If I see the castle's condition is not maintained, I'll fire you"

"You don't have to worry, sir. Even if I have a job outside, I guarantee the castle will still not be neglected"

"Hopefully. Otherwise, as I said, I will fire you" Tukas Aldrich with great emphasis.

Maribel nodded and left the dining room with a white handbag in her hand. Stepping out of the courtyard he was struck by a middle-aged woman who had just gotten out of the taxi and dragged the large bag in his hand.

Seeing the appearance of Maribel, the middle-aged woman smiled. He suspected that Maribel was the mistress of the owner of the large residence where she would work.

"For the young lady" he asked, smiling politely.

Maribel's stuck, "P-morning"

Maribel was stunned, don't tell the middle-aged woman in front of him...

"Sorry, you're in—"

The middle-aged woman placed the heavy bag in her hand on the ground and smilingly introduced herself, "I am Diana, miss. Who was sent to this place to work as a servant in your residence"

"Huk.huk.." Spontaneous Maribel coughed and her heart was in chaos thinking...

It's bad if the woman goes inside to see Aldrich. Her disguise could be revealed. He had just started his mission.

Can't do..

Looking at Maribel's pale face, the woman asked concernedly, "Are you okay, miss?"

"Ah, I'm fine"

At that moment he heard the sound of a car just pulling over. Raising her head, she smiled in relief, 'Thank God Callie came at the right time'

Callie pulled out her seatbelt and looked up at the window, "Isn't this the castle from yesterday?"

Early in the morning Maribel sent her location and asked her to pick her up. Therefore before going to the company, he went here to pick up his boss.

Callie got out of the car and walked over to Maribel who was talking to a middle-aged woman in front of the castle fence.

"Sorry Miss Diana, you'll be working. But not here"

Diana frowned in surprise, "Not here? Did I have the wrong address?"

"Ah, no-no. You came at the right address. But, I need you to work at my other residence"

Diana looked at the beautiful girl in front of her with her eyeballs trembling in amazement, "You are still so young, but it has been this successful. Well, then which residence is it?"

Maribel sees Callie walking towards them, "Callie, how many minutes are left before the morning meeting starts?"

Callie glanced at the silver watch circling her hand, "There's still about thirty minutes left, ma'am"

Maribel turned to Diana, "I'll take you there. Let's Ma'am"

Either way he would just calmly take the woman away from there as soon as possible. If Aldrich comes out and finds this...

Then it'll all be over.

......................

Maribel took Diana to work at her large residence. Even though the place already had many servants, but almost all of them were people her aunt hired. So far, there has been no suspicious action from them. But there is no harm if from now on Maribel must be on guard.

"Actually I have many servants, but they are not to be trusted. So, if any of the workers here look suspicious or act weird, you can report it to me right away"

Diana understood the lives of the rich were quite complicated. He felt sorry for the beautiful girl in front of him. He was still so young but already had to bear that heavy burden on his shoulders.

"Alright young lady" Diana smiled nodding.

"Don't let the people inside know that you're hired by me. If anyone asks you this, just tell them you were sent from one of the labor companies"

"En, I understand"

Maribel breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got over it. Not only did he overcome, he even managed to utilize it.

'I'm sorry, Aldrich, it seems like for a while I have to borrow your servant while I'm still disguised as your servant'
