Ariah tossed and turned around the whole night. She had trouble sleeping in an unfamiliar place, not to mention that there were bodyguards outside watching over her.
Finally, dawn arrived, and someone opened the door of the bedroom.
"Miss Myers, are you awake?" The maid came in with a set of clothes in her hands. "This is Miss Hart's clothes. If you don't mind, you may put them on after you wash up."
Wearing a cold expression, Ariah sat on the bed. "Why would I wear someone else's clothes? Take them away. I'm not going to wear them!"
Unfazed, the maid said, "Mr. Reeves said that you can keep wearing your clothes if you refuse to change, but as a reminder, Mr. Reeves is a clean freak. Besides keeping himself clean, he wants people around him to always be clean too. He will feel uncomfortable if you're going to wear the same clothes you wore yesterday."
Ariah laughed angrily, "That's exactly what I want. I want him to feel uncomfortable."
Putting the clothes aside, the maid looked at Ariah with sincere eyes. "Miss Myers, I have been working with Mr. Reeves for years, so I know his temper well. If you insist on wearing yesterday's clothes and Mr. Reeves sees it, he will ask the bodyguards to strip off your clothes."
Ariah could not believe it. How could such a psycho exist?
After saying that, the maid turned around and left.
She sat by the window for quite a while. Left with no choice, she had to give in.
Camden had too many men. She would not be able to defeat them all by herself.
After taking a shower and changing into a new set of clothes, she followed the bodyguards downstairs.
The maids were busy cooking in the kitchen in the living room on the first floor. Donned a set of gray loungewear, Camden was sitting at the dining table next to a French window, holding a coffee cup in one hand and a newspaper in the other. He was reading the newspaper leisurely.
If Ariah did not know Camden's true colors, she would definitely be deceived by his looks.
Sitting there carefreely, he looked like a harmless and modest gentleman.
However, he had an evil heart.
How could Nicole stay with him for so many years? She could not imagine how much Nicole suffered throughout the years.
As a woman, she felt somewhat sorry for her.
"Miss Myers, are you fascinated by my looks?" Ariah only snapped back to her senses when she heard Camden's teasing voice. Rolling her eyes, she walked up to him, "I'm sorry, you're not my cup of tea."
Frowning, Camden asked, "Am I ugly?"
Being a person who was always confident about his own looks, he could not believe that someone would actually criticize him.
Ariah pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him. Unlike being held hostage, she knocked on the table confidently. "Is breakfast not ready yet? I'm about to starve to death."
Camden's men kidnapped her before she could eat anything yesterday, so she was extremely hungry.
He raised his hand and motioned the maid to come over. "Serve the food."
The maids were just like servants in the ancient days. Immediately, they came to the table, each holding one dish.
Soon after, the empty table was filled with all sort of food.
Ariah started munching on her food unreservedly.
Leisurely, Camden drank his coffee and stared at Ariah with a deep gaze. Her mouth was filled to the brim. Feeling uncomfortable, she said, "Why are you staring at me? Eat your food. Don't you know that it's impolite to stare at someone else when they're eating?"
As if hearing a joke, Camden could not help but chuckle. "You're the one who's being rude. How dare you talk to me about courtesy?"
Ariah did not get mad at all. After swallowing her food, she gulped down a mouthful of water before laughing out loud, "If you were the one who was kidnapped, would you still talk to the kidnapper politely as though you're talking to your family?"
