The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 81

She was at the staircase on the second floor, overhearing a man on the phone.

It was Lucian--

The small balcony on the first floor near the stairs was probably less noisy than the crowded living room, so the man choose to take his call there.

"Mr. Lindberg, that thing you asked me to look into, about you being drugged at the Silver Star Hotel, it's not as straightforward as it seems. George Lindberg's assistant Melvin is clean, but we found some clues in the surveillance footage. In the footage, Ms. Flanagan didn't seem to be visiting friends. Ms. Flanagan claimed a friend was having a birthday, but I couldn't find anyone celebrating a birthday at the Silver Star Hotel that day..."

Lucian hung up, left the balcony, glanced up at the stairs and said, "Come out, I didn't know that the Flanagan family's maids were such eavesdroppers."

Allison descended the stairs with her cleaning supplies, head down and hunched over, "I apologize, Mr. Lindberg. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to hear you as I was passing by. I wasn't close enough to hear what you were saying."

"Talking back, huh?"

Allison: "If Mr. Lindberg doesn't need anything, I'll get to cleaning the balcony." As she walked by him towards the balcony, she heard the door lock behind her. The next moment, she felt his arm around her waist.

Allison was pinned against the wall by Lucian.

His familiar, domineering scent filled her nostrils.

Allison's eyes widen, "Are you crazy? This is the Flanagan family's house!"

Outside, there's the living room--

In the living room.

Penelope was blushing and smiling. Ever since she got pregnant, the Lindbergs had been treating her differently. Even the normally stern Cora seemed more caring.
