Chapter 215 To Be a Servant
The mirror in the bathroom was covered with a layer of mist. Zac raised his hand to wipe the mirror, revealing his harsh profile. The room outside seemed to be silent. Zac narrowed his eyes, and his mind was filled with images of Aurora and Terry.
Zac put on his bathrobe and laughed at himself. If Zac had realized what he wanted earlier, he would not have been so tormented right now. Zac opened the bathroom door, and the mist dispersed. Of course, Aurora was no longer in the room. Zac couldn’t tell what he was feeling
Zac looked grim, and he was taking off his bathrobe when the door opened. Aurora was stunned and quickly turned around. She said, “You… Put on your clothes!” Aurora did not expect that he would come out so soon.
And Aurora had just witnessed this scene. Zac quickly put on his sweater, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. He said, “You can turn around now.”
Aurora nodded and placed the fruit tea and coffee on the table. She lowered her head and asked in a clear voice, “Can I ask for different conditions?” Aurora gripped the tray tightly with her fingers.
“I can accept being a servant at the Buchanna’s house or going to the Buchanna Group to clean the toilets, except…” Except for the way Zac said to beg for mercy, Aurora was willing to give up her pride and dignity.
When Aurora said that, she closed her eyes in pain. Zac gazed at her. He was somewhat anxious and hesitant. Aurora kept her head down and frowned when she did not hear his response. If Zac didn’t agree, Aurora had no other choice.
“Can you give me a few more days? I can find a way to get the Bennet Group out of the current situation. At most a week. If I can’t do it and the Bennet Group breaks the agreement, I will take full responsibility.” Then they were quiet for a long time. “What do you have to take the responsibility with?’
Zac suddenly spoke. His voice was very close to her, almost right above her head. “Terry?”
“Can you stop bringing him up?” Aurora frowned and spoke. She thought, it’s a matter between us.
Why is he trying to get others involved?
As Aurora raised her head, she bumped into his shoulder.
Aurora looked up and saw his straight face. Zac slowly said, “Then you stay by my side and work like a slave until the cooperation ends.”
Aurora did not understand what Zac was saying at all. She thought that he agreed to her bargain and immediately nodded.
She said, “Qkay.”
“I’ll ask Carter to give you the contract later.”
As Zac spoke, he picked up the fruit tea on the table and gulped it down.
Aurora let out a sigh of relief. Her heart was still beating non-stop as she listened to Zac walking away. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
An hour later, Carter arrived.
“Shouldn’t it be a cooperation plan? What is this?”
Aurora looked at the papers in front of her and frowned.
This contract was just drafted. Moreover, the content had nothing to do with the cooperation between the Bennet Group and the Buchanna Group. On the contrary, it was the unfair terms that Zac used to restrain her freedom.
“This is the contract that Mr. Buchanna wants to sign with you. If you break the contract, the cooperation between the Buchanna Group and the Bennet Group
Will immediately be void. Moreover, the Bennet Group will be held responsible.”
Aurora gritted her teeth.
Aurora flipped to the last page and signed her name.
“Ms. Bennet, aren’t you going to read the contents of the contract carefully?”
“There’s no need for that.”
As soon as Aurora finished speaking, Alma walked over and said, “Ms. Bennet, Mr. Buchanna just told me that he wants to eat fish for dinner.
“Am I making it?” Aurora was stunned for a few seconds.
Alma nodded and said, “Yes.”
Aurora took a deep breath and forced out a smile, “Alright, I’ll go.”
It wasn’t like Aurora hadn’t been ordered around by Zac.
Aurora was busy in the kitchen and did not notice the figure walking in the living room and dining room after Carter left.
Alma said, “Sir, I’ll go in and help Ms. Bennet.” Alma listened to the sounds coming from the kitchen from time to time and leaned over worriedly to look.
“She’s fine.”
Zac took a sip of coffee and frowned. He then placed it on the table and said, “Aurora, get me some coffee.”
Aurora was busy cutting vegetables when she heard Zac. she walked out with a kitchen knife in her hand.
There were fish scales on her face.
Zac looked at her and knocked on the table in displeasure.
Aurora said, “Alright, coming right up.”
Aurora also adjusted her mentality, poured water, and made coffee in one go.
Aurora turned around and quickly stepped into the kitchen.
Then, there was a series of crackling sounds.
Zac picked up his coffee cup and took a sin. He couldn’t help but smile.
Alma wiped the furniture in the living room. She shook her head helplessly and muttered in a low voice, “Mr. Buchanna
wants to keep Ms. Bennet by his side. He wants to see her every day, but he doesn’t want to admit it.”
Zac heard it very clearly, and his smile instantly faded.
Only then did Alma realize that she was too nosy and hurriedly lowered her head to focus on her work.
But suddenly, Alma felt dizzy. Alma’s hand trembled, and she broke the vase in the living room.
Clank.
When Aurora heard the sound, she ran out in a hurry.
Seeing that Alma’s hand was cut by the pieces of the vase, Zac stood at the side with a cold face and didn’t do anything.
“Sir, I’m sorry.” Alma apologized as she packed up her things.
“Alma, don’t move. I’ll clean it up. You should treat the wound first.” Aurora hurriedly went over to pull Alma up. Looking at the stunned Zac next to her, Aurora frowned and said, “Mr.Buchanna, if you don’t want to help, please move aside!”
She thought, Zac is truly cold-blooded!
Aurora took Alma to treat her wound.
The broken pieces pierced into the flesh. Aurora lowered her head and picked them out bit by bit. Aurora said, “Alma, it might hurt a little. Bear the pain for a little while.”
“It’s fine. I can’t feel my hand anymore,”
Alma said with a smile.
Aurora paused.
Alma sighed and said, “The only wish I have now is to do something in the time I have.”
Aurora had never seen Alma in such a sad state.
All of a sudden, Aurora did not know what to do.
“Ms. Bennet, do you really think Mr. Buchanna is very indifferent? When he was young, he was a very lively and cheerful child. It was because the days back then were too harsh for him. There were threats everywhere. That was why he became cruel and indifferent,” Alma suddenly said.
Alma looked out of the window and recalled what happened a long time ago.
Aurora lowered her head to take the last piece, then disinfected the wound, and applied the medicine to it.
Throughout the whole process, Alma did not have any expression of pain. Instead, she told Aurora a lot about the things that happened when Zac was young.
“In the past, Mr. Buchanna really liked reading storybooks…”
Aurora just listened with no emotion.
Alma tilted her head. Her entire wrist was bandaged, and she didn’t even know ‘it. “This is too much. I can’t work like this,” Alma said with a bitter smile.
“I’ll do it.
“Alma, no matter what he’s like in front of you, he is not like that to me,” Aurora said as she put the first- aid kit away. Aurora did not want to understand the past of the person she had once loved so deeply but now she hated. Who didn’t have any bad history? In her current situation, Aurora could not understand others. “But…”
“At the very least, he can now have everything he wants, right?” Aurora opened the door and went downstairs to the kitchen. At the corner of the door, his cold eyes followed Aurora all the way until she was out of sight
