Chater 848


    The room was spotless, with clean cupboards, coffee tables, and floors. The sofa looked as if it were


    brand new. On the balcony, Zachary’s clothes which had been left unwashed for more than three days


    were now cleaned and dried


    Four cleaners stood neatly, smiling at him


    Xavier looked at Norah abruptly, “What’s going on?”


    “A dirty room breeds germs, which isn’t good for your wound. So I hired cleaners. Doesn’t a clean room


    make you feel good?” Nomh replied with a tilted head and a


    smile


    What could Xavier say? He just politely greeted the cleaners, “Thanks!”


    “No problem at all! The cleaners responded in unison.


    Xavier then headed to the bathroom.


    Norah asked the cleaners to tidy up Xavier’s room. Xavier’s bedroom was indeed the cleanest and


    neatest of them all, the only issue being the heavy smell of


    smoke.


    The cleaners air purified the room. When one of them went to fetch water from the sink, they saw


    Xavier washing his hands. The cleaner was a woman in her forties. She nced at Norah in the living


    room on the phone and said to Xavier, “Hey, young man!”


    Xavier was taken aback. Was she talking to him?


    The cleaner was enthusiastic, “Your girlfriend is really nice, looks good and has a nice temper!”


    It clicked for Xavier that she was talking about Norah.


    “You’re not bad–Hooking yourself, but the full face of beard makes you look old. You don’t match the


    young girl.”


    Xavier frowned, unsure of what she was getting at


    “My daughter’s shop sells excellent razors. They’re not brands, but they work just as well and cost half


    as much. If you buy one, I guarantee you’ll look handsome and young with a clean shavel


    So, whether he matched Norah or not depended on a little electric iszor


    “Listen to me, young man. You need to get a razor, otherwise, what it your pretty girlfriend finds


    someone else?” She lowered her voice, “Not to mention, it must be inconvenient when you two kiss,


    right? You could hurt her with your beard!”


    As the conversation became more absurd, Xavier didn’t know what to say. He quickly left the bathroom.


    “Young man, I’ve been around the block. What I’m saying is for your own good! The cleaner continued


    to follow him.


    Xavier tumed back, feigning anger, if you keep pushing, I won’t pay you!”


    The cleaner was unfazed, “Your girlfriend has already paid!”


    “What’s going on?” Norah, still on the phone, noticed the two standing there arguing and looked over


    curiously.


    Afraid that the cleaner might say something inappropriate in front of Norah and cause embarrassment,


    Xavier turned to the cleaner and said. “Enough, I buy it How much is it? I’ll transfer you the money!”


    “It’s not expensive at all!” the cleaner replied immediately with a smile. She pulled out her phone and


    showed him the payment QR code, “Since you two are so good–looking, two hundred will do. I usually


    sell them for two fifty!”


    Xavier thought, thank you for giving me a fifty off!


    The cleaner took the money, her smile even more genuine, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes

    deepening. “Young man, I wish you two a long and happy life together, and may you have a child


    soon!”


    Xavier raised his hand to stop her well–wishing. “You can get back to work now
