The villa looked like it was new when I came back that evening.
I could smell the fragrance the moment I stepped in.
There were a few pots of orchids from who-knew-where placed in the living room. They looked fresh and refined.
Caroline walked out of the kitchen with a pot of orchids in her hand. When she saw that I had returned, she smiled happily. "Madam, you’re back."
"Yeah. Where did these flowers come from? They're pretty nice."
It was the blooming season for orchids now, and these pots had quite a few flowering branches on them. The fragrance was pleasant.
"Sir brought them back. He said they were for decoration. A few cleaning ladies came to help clean up the place together today. The villa is completely clean now. Sir explained that we must clean up all of the traces left by outsiders. "
This was really Theo’s style of doing things.
I raised my brow but then saw Theo slowly descending from upstairs. He spread open his arms and gave me a smug smile. "How is it? Not bad, eh?"
Nodding, I gave him a thumbs-up. "Not bad. You’re doing a good job, President Grant."
He stepped forward and hugged my waist. He left a light kiss beside my mouth which caught me off guard. My cheeks flushed slightly as I pushed his chest. "Really now?"
"You're still shy?" Theo asked with a smile.
"It's time to eat." Caroline's voice sounded.
Just in time.
I turned around and sat down in the dining hall first. Looking at the sumptuous meal in front of me, I could not help but praise, "Caroline, you prepared so much delicious food tonight."
"You should eat more, Madam. You look thinner these days."
She was right.
I had not been eating well or sleeping well during this time because of that trifle.
