During dinner, Robert hadn’t returned. I gathered my emotions and went downstairs to have my meal. While eating, I chatted with Alice about the affairs of thepany, making conversation about various departments and their managers.


    She had been at thepany for a few days now and had gained some understanding, especially about the heads of each department. She appeared obedient, openly sharing everything she knew. From Alice, I once again confirmed that there were very few of my people left in thepany.


    At that moment, I heard Sherry’s phone ring. She picked it up, checked the screen, and her expression immediately soured. After that, she seemed absent-minded and even forgot to feed Charles.


    I reached for Charles’s bowl, deliberately asking Sherry, “Feeling unwell?”


    She hesitated, looked at me, and nodded with a forced smile, “Um… feeling a bit ufortable.”


    Then she extended her hand to me, “I’d better feed him!”


    “I’ll do it. You’re not feeling well; take some rest,” Alice quickly chimed in, “You go rest; I’ll clean upter.”


    Sherry cast her an annoyed nce, looking frustrated, “I’m fine! Just eat your meal!”


    Alice awkwardly smiled, ncing at me, looking somewhat bewildered, as if she had done something wrong.


    I coldly chuckled inside; this innocent little rabbit sure knew how to y the victim.


    “Don’t feel restrained, just rx a bit!” I appearedforting but was actually encouraging.


    Next, I deliberately gave Alice more responsibilities, having her y with Charles and call her whenever there was work to be done.


    Taking advantage of Sherry’s distraction, I arranged some ‘sleeping aid’ for her. Before long, unable to endure, she excused herself, iming she wasn’t feeling well, and went back to her room to sleep.


    I yed with Charles alongside Alice until 8:30 PM. I was genuinely exhausted.


    Before returning to my room, I purposely instructed Alice, “After putting Charlie to bed, if Robertes back, look after him. He often returnste after socializing. Today, I’m really tired!”


    “Alright, Mrs. Brown!” Alice obediently responded, “You go rest, have a good night.”


    “Thank you!” I said, turning and heading upstairs.


    When Robert returned, it was almost midnight. As soon as I heard his car pull in, I quickly opened the surveince feed. The moment the image appeared, I saw Robert walking into the foyer.


    The next second, Alice emerged from the direction of the guest rooms. Upon seeing her figure, I couldn’t help but smirk and had to admit, she knew what she was doing!


    In the footage, I noticed a distinct pause in Robert’s gaze the moment he saw Alice. His eyes were glued to her.


    At that moment, she was wearing an off-the-shoulder nightgown that fell to her knees, not too short. The brilliance was in the thin fabric, draping elegantly. The subtle protrusions were barely visible, and with each movement, they seemed like two yful little rabbits hopping around.


    Remember, Robert was a certified libertine, always ready to fixate on his prey.


    Alice seemed to realize something and quickly adopted a shy expression, crossing her arms in front of her. This gesture was clearly an attempt to conceal the awkward protrusion, but ironically, it entuated it even more.


    A true expert – unconsciously, and the spark had already been lit.


    “Mr. Brown, you’re back!” Her voice was enchanting, even causing a stir in me.


    Robert raised an eyebrow, “Why… only you here?”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
