The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 317

Payton stood, a tray in her hands. She was on her tiptoes, looking into the distance.

The staff elevator was out of order for ten minutes, so the busy waitstaff chose the stairs. About two minutes later, a guy in a black shirt walked into the elevator surrounded by several bodyguards in black. He was wearing a baseball cap, and from this distance, his face was unclear, only his silhouette was vaguely visible. But Payton knew, it was him.

It had to be him.

"Payton, what are you doing? Get back to work or some customer might complain! Still want your bonus next month?"

"Yes." Payton answered casually. But she didn't move, still standing there, until the elevator opened again and another staff member went in. Then she lowered her head with a hint of disappointment. She had only just caught a glimpse of him from afar.

"Payton, what are you looking at? You're so out of it." Vera came over, lightly patting Payton's shoulder. Seeing Payton staring off into space, she also looked in that direction. There was nothing in the elevator.

Only a few people knew that the big boss was coming today; she had overheard the news by chance.

"Vera, can you cover for me? My stomach suddenly hurts, I need to go to the bathroom." Payton said as she pushed the tray into Vera's hands. Their rooms were connected, so if it wasn't too busy, one person should be enough. "Vera, remember that pendant you liked when we went shopping the other day? I'll get it for you next week. Thanks for helping out tonight." After saying that, Payton headed upstairs.

Vera watched Payton's retreating figure, "Ugh, fine."

That necklace was over a hundred bucks. She really didn't get what was up with Payton tonight, acting so weird. But then again, Payton wasn't short on money. She shook her head and headed towards the wine cellar.
