Chapter 496
Audrey finished the tea in her cup. She was still a little thirsty, so she took the cup and went to the pantry to pour herself some water.
As soon as Audrey walked to the pantry, she heard two maids talking. They sounded surprised.
"How comes the paper is here in this trash can? I thought Madam Cordova and the others were cutting paper in the living room."
"Did someone accidentally drop it? Let me see what it is."
"They are all crumpled. It's hard to tell, but... It seems to be a miniature."
Audrey's pupils contracted slightly.
Miniature?
"This one looks like Mrs. Cordova."
"So it does. However, the miniature seems to have been torn apart. It looks like... It was torn apart on purpose."
"Hush, be quiet. Mrs. Cordova's miniature was cut by the young lady."
"What are you afraid of her? She is not the real Miss Cordova. Why should we be afraid of a fake one?" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"Hush, I told you to be quiet, but you are still talking so loud. Although she is not Miss Cordova, she is now Mr. Bryson's girlfriend."
"What? Mr. Bryson's girlfriend? Mr. Bryson likes her?"
"It's true. Many people in the villa know about it. It is said that Mr. Bryson even took her to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Cordova. It seems that Mrs. Cordova does not like the young lady very much."
"Well, she pretends to be Miss Cordova. How can Mrs. Cordova like her? With her catty appearance, she is not worthy of Mr. Bryson!"
"Save it. You'll be screwed if someone tells on you. Mr. Bryson won't let you get away."
"I said nothing wrong. She must have played some tricks. Otherwise, Mr. Bryson would never have taken a fancy to her..."
When Audrey heard that, she smiled and walked into the pantry with her cup.
Seeing Audrey, the plump maid looked terrified.
Yet the slim maid who had spoken ill of Audrey continued, "I think we should use a method to let Mr. Bryson see who that woman really is. We can't let that woman fool Mr. Bryson!"
The maid had a slender figure and her clothes could well reveal her curve. She looked seductive.
The plump maid hurriedly pushed the slim maid and gave her a wink.
The slim maid realized something and turned around, only to see Audrey.
Audrey didn't say anything. She just passed by the two of them and poured a cup of water. Then, she turned a blind eye to the two maids and walked out.
When Audrey left, the slim maid patted her chest with lingering fear. She looked in the direction Audrey had left in with jealousy.
"That woman seduced Mr. Bryson with her pretty face. How shameless!
"Alright, May, stop it. She must have heard our conversation just now. If she were to complain to Mr. Bryson..."
May smoothed her hair out with her fingers and put it behind her ear. She then said arrogantly, "I've been working for the Cordovas for four years. Mr. Bryson wouldn't kick me out just because that woman said a few words. Mr. Bryson hates people who speak ill of others. I don't think she dares to."
The slim maid reminded her, "May, you'd better be careful. She is a lawyer. She's not the kind of person you want to mess up with."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
When May came out with the tea, she saw that only Audrey and Bryson were in the living room. Audrey and Bryson did not pay special attention to her. Presumably... Audrey did not tell Bryson what May said in the pantry.
May knew that Audrey probably did not dare to tell Bryson because Audrey didn't want Bryson to hate her.
Audrey was still afraid of Bryson after all.
Thinking of this, May was even more fearless.
She brought a cup of tea to Bryson.
"Mr. Bryson, here is your tea."
Bryson didn't even look at May.
Bryson was watching Audrey as she cut animal patterns out on the paper. May frowned and glanced at Audrey.
May didn't expect Audrey to know about cutting paper.
May coughed and said to Bryson, "Mr. Bryson, you coughed a little this afternoon, so I put some herbs in your tea. The tea may taste a bit heavy."
Bryson turned around and glanced at the teacup. May stood there nervously, hoping that Bryson could look at her.
But Bryson glanced at nothing but the teacup. He then turned around.
Audrey turned to look at Bryson. "Do you have a sore throat?"
"I do, but it's fine now," Bryson replied peacefully.
Audrey glanced at May, who was standing beside Bryson.
May still wanted Bryson to look at her, so she stood to the side and did not leave. She bit her lower lip and wanted to say something to Bryson. However, Bryson did not even look at her, making May a little embarrassed.
Audrey raised her eyebrows.
Since this May girl wanted to draw Bryson's attention so much, Audrey decided to give her a hand.
Audrey looked at May with a smile. "Your name is May, right?"
May frowned. She did not know why Audrey would suddenly call her, but Bryson was sitting next to her. If Bryson knew her name, he would have a deeper impression of her.
Thus, May immediately replied, "Yes, May is my name."
Audrey smiled at May. "Bring the tea to Mr. Bryson."
May couldn't believe that Audrey would help her like this.
May looked at Bryson's gorgeous face with some excitement. Without hesitation, May picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to Bryson.
"Mr. Bryson!" May looked at Bryson with shyness.
Just as May finished speaking, suddenly, she felt a sudden pain in her calf. Then the teacup slipped out of her hand. The water in the cup was tilted towards Bryson.
May exclaimed, "Mr. Bryson!"
Before the water fell on the back of Bryson's hand, Audrey suddenly reached over her hand to block the water.
Bryson mercilessly pushed May away and held Audrey's hand in his hand to check.
As soon as Kylee came out, she saw the scene and rushed forward anxiously.
"What happened?" Kylee's heart ached when she saw the back of Audrey's hand turn red.
"I'm fine!" Audrey covered her hand as she comforted Kylee and Bryson with a smile. "I was just scalded. I'm fine."
May looked at Audrey jealously. It was all Audrey's fault. Otherwise, May wouldn't have been pushed by Mr. Bryson.
Kylee looked at May with a grim face. "What did you do? Pack your things immediately and leave."
May looked at Kylee in shock. "Madam Cordova, she reached out her hand to me. How can you fire me?"
