Chapter 128 An Angel
Upon hearing Audrey’s words, Catherine slowly raised her head and looked at her. She glanced at Audrey’s face indifferently. “You’re not fat. You can eat some!”
As a makeup blogger, Audrey paid a lot of attention to skincare. Perhaps, she wasn’t born as pretty as Catherine, but her skin was already well-maintained.
Catherine’s praise couldn’t comfort Audrey at all. “Kathy, you don’t know about how the camera works. I’m as heavy as you are, but my face looks a lot bigger than yours. I can only make myself look better on camera by constantly losing weight. If I can have a face as small as yours, I won’t have any worries then.”
Catherine had such a pretty face. No wonder Kim was desperate to sign her. She was really drop-dead gorgeous!
Admittedly, her beauty was beyond compare. While eating quietly, Catherine kept scrutinizing Audrey.
She used to think that Audrey spent the money she earned all on herself. Given that Audrey had bought so many clothes for her, Catherine figured that Audrey couldn’t be a frugal woman.
Afterward, she found that Audrey actually was not generous with herself but with the people around her. She was even generous with Catherine, the sister she hadn’t met for more than 10 years!
To make money, Audrey did suffer a lot. Catherine just couldn’t help wondering whether it was worth it or not. After coming back to Audrey’s home from the restaurant, Catherine still didn’t figure out the answer. She decided to discuss this with Ronin someday. Suddenly, Audrey’s cry broke into her thoughts.
“Oh, my goodness…”
Audrey was astonished by the scene in front of her and couldn’t help exclaiming. She subconsciously got away from the door and took a look at the door plate. After confirming that it was her apartment, she shifted her gaze to Catherine.
“Kathy, did an angel come to my place? Catherine darted a slightly dismissive glance at her. “Fairytales aren’t for adults. If you insist on calling a housekeeper an angel, it’s fine by me.”
Audrey was really impressed by what Catherine had just done. She had hired housekeepers before, but they never did a satisfactory job. In the end, she stopped hiring housekeepers and did the cleaning herself.
The housekeeper Catherine hired this time was really amazing. Audrey hurriedly sprang at her and said, ” Kathy, where did you hire the housekeeper? Give me her number. I’ll hire her later as well.”
Catherine had no idea. “I asked my friend to hire the housekeeper. I don’t know her number, either!”
It happened that Audrey saw the statement on the table and figured that it should be left by the housekeeper. She immediately got excited.
“There’s a bill. I’ll check it out myself!”
The moment she picked up the bill and saw the figure, Audrey almost passed out. “Oh my gosh, Kathy! Are you sure it’s over 10,000 dollars instead of over 1,000 dollars?”
Catherine took a sip of the water and said casually, “Can’t you understand the figure?”
Originally, Audrey wanted to hire such a housekeeper regularly, but as it appeared now, she couldn’t afford one at all.
“Kathy, how can you spend so much money hiring a housekeeper? This is too expensive. Is this a fraud? Give me your friend’s number. I’ll call the housekeeper’s agency.”
Catherine didn’t resist. Since Audrey wanted to figure it out, Catherine just gave her the number. Catherine found Ronin’s number on her phone and passed it to Audrey.
Audrey glanced at the contact’s name and made the call. She had prepared a speech to defend Catherine. In her eyes, Catherine must have paid the housekeeper’s fee with the card Audrey had given to her.
Since she had given the money to Catherine, it was Catherine’s money. She wouldn’t care about how Catherine used it. Yet, the fact that she didn’t care didn’t mean that she had no problem with getting ripped off by a fraud.
After the call was put through, a young voice came from the phone. “Boss, what can I do for you?”
“This is Audrey.”
Ronin was dazed to hear Audrey’s voice and said anxiously, “How come you’re holding my boss’s phone? Is there anything wrong with her?”
As he got nervous at once, Audrey hastened to explain, “No. I’m calling to ask you about the housekeeper’s fee. Do you think…”
Before she finished saying, she was interrupted by Ronin.
“Oh, the housekeeper? Are you satisfied?”
“Yes!” The apartment was so perfectly cleaned, which Audrey was quite satisfied with.
As soon as she replied, Ronin also responded right away, saying, “Good thing that you’re satisfied. Then, I’ll tell the housekeeper to do the cleaning every week.”
After knowing that Catherine would stay at Audrey’s place for a while, Ronin made all the arrangements well in order to let Catherine enjoy her stay there.
“Every week?” Audrey raised her voice right away. The cleaning service would cost more than 10,000 dollars per time. If the housekeeper came and offered the service every week, it would cost 50,000 or 60,000 dollars per month.
How could she afford that?
“No, no, no, we don’t need it. Mr. Oconnor, we can’t afford it! We can accept one housekeeping service per month and hope that you can help us get a discount.”
As the housekeeper came to clean the apartment after Catherine’s call, Audrey thought Catherine’s friend was the owner of a housekeeping company.
That was why she said so to Ronin.
[10:42 pm, 30/09/2023] Nothing: Hearing Audrey’s words, Ronin felt totally at sea. “Discount? No need to get a discount. I’ll get everything arranged for you. Is once per week not enough? How about twice every week?”
No need to get a discount?
Audrey seemed to realize what he meant and then said in a daze, “Are you saying that we don’t have to pay?”
“Of course, you don’t need to!”
Certainly, Catherine didn’t have to pay for the housekeeping. Ronin could directly send the housekeeping staff of the company there. It was not that he wanted to use their own staff to save trouble.
Instead, their housekeeping staff was strictly selected, with only those who could suit Catherine’s requests the most. He would not feel reassured about other people.
Nothing: “Then, why did the housekeeper leave the bill?” Audrey asked carefully.
“Oh, the bill? It’s for accounting. Just throw it away.”
Hearing Ronin’s causal voice, Audrey felt that she shouldn’t communicate with him. She decided to hang up the phone first.
After hanging up, Audrey came to Catherine with a surprised expression.
“Kathy, is this friend very close to you?
For her, Ronin was like a student and a brother. They were close indeed. Seeing that Catherine nodded, Audrey couldn’t help asking further, “Do you know him for a long time? And your friend is very rich?”
She had known Ronin for years. Ronin was in charge of many departments of the company. He was dealing with many businesses.
He could acquire lots of dividends. Although he didn’t earn as much as she did, compared with ordinary people, he was rich indeed. So, Catherine nodded again.
Since Ronin had no problems paying the housekeeping fee of a few ten thousand dollars per month to a friend, he must be rather rich.
Audrey could be sure of that.
“Kathy, is he a friend you knew in the countryside?”
“Umm?” As she kept asking, Catherine couldn’t help asking, “Any problem?”
Audrey grinned. “No. I just feel that the countryside is quite nice. I also want to sojourn there and make more friends!” Catherine didn’t know what to say.
