Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

Stephanie Ruan had originally left the room with the same intention of cooking a simple dish for Javier Zhong as well since she remembered that he did not eat much during dinner.

She felt that this is the best way to compensate him for what had happened.

And as she followed Mdm Li towards the kitchen, the servants at the back could not help but gasp silently at Stephanie Ruan.

“Wow, who is she??… Is she young master’s girlfriend?”

“Did you see her face when she smiled at us??… So pretty and elegant!!”

“No wonder young master will fancy a woman like her!…”

Everyone looked at her with great respect. After all, she is the first girl that their young master had brought home. No one dared to treat her poorly!

…

It is only until now that Stephanie Ruan is in the mood to take a good look at the design of the well-furnished villa.

Even though the interior design is modern and luxurious, it is completely not her style at all!

Is this guy only crazy over three colours – White, Grey, and Black??

This place ‘smells’ totally like a single man’s den!

She could not fathom how the servants could live here together with him…

Such a ‘cold’ house with zero liveliness…

…

The first thing Stephanie Ruan did when she entered the large kitchen is to open the refrigerator.

After taking a quick glance at the well-stocked fridge, she decisively took out a few ingredients and placed them on the marble countertop nearby.

Apart from asking Mdm Li where the kitchen utensils are, she had singlehandedly prepared the dish from scratch.

Although it is just a simple Chinese clear soup dish with meat, she had done it so seamlessly that everyone just stood there and watched her in awe.

It felt almost as though they are watching a live cooking show!

Her speed… the precision… and how she is skilfully multi-tasking…

No one could actually put what they are seeing now into words…

Meanwhile, Stephanie Ruan is wondering why everyone is gathered here and just watching her??…

Are they afraid that she would spike their young master’s dish?

Or… are they waiting to personally bring this up to him?

“…”

With a blink of an eye, she finished plating the dish and spoke to Mdm Li with a smile, “Alright, you can bring this up to him.”

Thereafter, Stephanie Ruan immediately brought the used pot and kitchen utensils to the sink. She picked up the gloves at the side and began to wash them.

“!!…”

Panic filled the entire place as the servants behind are witnessing what she is doing!!

How could this happen!!…

If their young master knew that she is washing dishes at his house, all of them would be ‘dead’!

Mdm Li hurriedly rushed forward to stop Stephanie Ruan, “Madam, this is our job, please let us do it. We cannot afford to have you washing the dishes for us. Young Master would not be happy about this.”

After hearing Mdm Li’s anxious tone, she looked at her with both of her hands still busy at work.

“It’s okay, I’m almost done. There are not many to wash… Furthermore, it’s only right to clean up after myself…”

She then said to Mdm Li with a friendly wink, “This is how I was brought up.”

Although Stephanie Ruan is raised in a wealthy family with many servants at home as well, her parents did not fail to teach their children such good values.

In fact, this is the main contributing factor to how she eventually grew up into a woman of such strong, yet fine character!

“By the way, it’s already so late, everyone should go back and rest.” She spoke out of concern to Mdm Li and the other servants.

But before they could even politely reject her, Javier Zhong suddenly appeared behind them.

Wearing his usual black house slippers, he stood just before the dividing line between the dining hall and the kitchen.

“Young Master…” Everyone quickly echoed to him in fear.

They could not imagine how he would treat them after personally seeing Stephanie Ruan doing the ‘dirty work’ on their behalf, while each of them is just helplessly watching her.

Hearing the servants greeting him, Stephanie Ruan quickly turned around and looked at Javier Zhong. “You’re here! Are you feeling better??…”

“Mmmph…” He replied to her with a slight nod.

Earlier, he overheard what Stephanie Ruan had told the servants. Since it is her own will, he decided not to pursue this matter with his workers tonight.

But having said this, he is still unhappy with their working attitude and threw each of them a cold glare.

If she said that she is going to wash the dishes, all of them are going to stand there and just let her do it?!

Absolutely no initiative from them!!… Or at least he did not see any!

“…”

“I’ve made a bowl of soup for you. Since you’re already here, you can bring it out on your own to the dining table.”

“!!!…”

Although she spoke casually to him, those innocent words have completely frightened everyone who is in the kitchen.

What??!… Bring it out on his own??…

Did they hear it wrongly??

No one has ever had the audacity to speak to their young master in such a manner before!!

Seeing that Javier Zhong is still standing there unmoving, she added, “I’ll come and join you soon after I’m done.”

Upon hearing what Stephanie Ruan had said to him, Mdm Li quickly stepped forward with the intention to bring the bowl out for Javier Zhong until she saw his slightly raised hand stopping her.

“??!…”

From this point onwards, the table has completely turned. Everyone stared at him in disbelief as he slowly stepped foot into the kitchen for the very first time!

Not only that, he personally picked up his bowl of soup and brought it out without any complaint.

If this is not a piece of good enough breaking news, they don’t know what is!!…

Every employee knows that Javier Zhong is germaphobic and he would never want to step into the kitchen no matter how clean it is!!

And Stephanie Ruan is actually the first person to have made him cross his barrier!!

As soon as she had finished washing the dishes, Stephanie Ruan turned around and saw the servants still standing there in the same position, but this time with their heads bowed.

Unsure of what is happening, she walked towards the exit of the kitchen and then turned back to them.

“Uhm well, I think there’s nothing much to do here… I can handle everything. Everyone should go and take a rest.” She kindly assured them before walking away.

“Yes, Madam.” All of the servants responded to her with great respect.

Indeed, they also felt that she could handle everything!

I mean, she was even able to make their young master listen to her and made him do things that he has never done before in his lifetime!

Although what Stephanie Ruan meant by ‘handling everything’ is that she could help to clean up the place after Javier Zhong is done with his food…

But the servants obviously saw things in a different light!

“…”

Each one of them could not help but think to themselves, “Could she be even scarier than our young master??…”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
