Chapter 19: Watching the show?
Early the next morning, Blanche Capra had just come downstairs when she noticed that the servants of the Charlie family were looking at her in a strange way: some sympathetic, some looking at a good show, and some even showed a look of wanting to see a good show.
Watching a good show?
She hadn’t done anything wrong, had she? Was it because the foot was still not healed and the walking posture was a bit strange?
Soon Blanche Capra came up with the answer.
“Yo, Miss Capra you’re awake. Have you washed up yet? Come over and eat breakfast.” This earnest tone, such a familiar face who else could it be if not Shireen Miller?
“Good morning Miss Miller!”
“It’s not too early, at this hour York has just finished his workout and will be having breakfast soon.” Shireen Miller smiled brightly on her face, but in her heart, she hated it.
She didn’t know about yesterday’s race, but in previous years she had always begged York to go. She thought, so many years are the two of them together travelling racing competition, this time York has no reason not to bring themselves together, even if it is a habit should be their turn, is not it?
Early yesterday morning she did not wait for York Charlie’s invitation but was informed by Vera that York had taken another woman to the race track and was walking around with her as if introducing a friend to her. She smiled openly on the phone, confidently and Vera said that just a woman who could not get on the stage pestered York to take her to the long a bit of knowledge, just as they have some things to do today, can not come, so let the woman accompanied York together. Hang up the phone but almost a whole dresser to smash.
In the mirror, her own make-up was appropriate, beautiful and vivid, but when she thought about her own dress up for two hours, but let the wait become a waste of time, she felt the irony is incomparable.
When Vera called to tell her that the woman had raced and finished second, and even won Kevin Lin’s hand in marriage, Shireen Miller couldn’t help but scratch the mirror, crying to her best friend, Vera, about how Blanche Capra had been a bad girl, how she had seduced York Charlie, and how she had been betrayed by her friend, Vera. Charlie, and how he had seduced York, and how he had been trying to separate her and York step by step.
As expected, the straight-tempered Vera made common cause with her and said she would help her teach Blanche Capra a lesson.
At that time, I was still secretly pleased that this time have Blanche Capra’s bitter to eat, who knows that this bitch even climbed up the pole, in York’s home to stay a night!
She finally relented and came over early this morning to see for herself.
She had breakfast ready before this bitch got up, who knows how she seduced York last night. Shireen Miller couldn’t help the sour bubbles rising up in her heart when she thought of the possibility of York Charlie having that kind of relationship with Blanche Capra last night.
“Blanche, come on over and sit down, I’ve got breakfast ready. See if you want to drink milk or porridge, I’ll help you serve it.”
Looking at Blanche Capra’s face of surprise, Shireen Miller’s heart was so proud: that’s right, she, Shireen Miller, wanted to be the first to take the lead, letting Blanche Capra know that she is the future mistress of this manor!
“I’ll just have porridge, please serve me a thinner porridge. Thanks.”
Blanche Capra was secretly amazed in her heart, “Shireen Miller has grown up a lot”! She knew how to squeeze people without moving. It is really interesting, but she just do not want to let Shireen Miller heart comfortable it, she wants to help herself to porridge, so just go to the porridge, just as he broke his foot inconvenience.
Shireen Miller looked at Blanche Capra this face of light-hearted look is a bit unhappy: this person should not be a little more sensible and leave? “I’ll have the thinner porridge”: was she a babysitter?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt, but with York sitting right next to her, she couldn’t lose her temper, or her image from this morning would be ruined.
Shireen Miller said as she put down the porridge for Blanche Capra, “I heard all about yesterday from Vera, Blanche, you’re amazing, you came second, and you even made Kevin Lin look at you differently.” She said as she watched York Charlie’s face: seducing York and then seducing other men at the same time, I’ll see if you have the face to stay on!
“Yeah, I pushed him out of second place he certainly wants to see what I’m all about.” Blanche Capra felt a little funny watching Shireen Miller’s antics.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
She wasn’t one of York Charlie’s people, and she had no intention of being one of his people, so why should she have any regard for York Charlie’s thoughts? She, Shireen Miller, was the one who was always using herself as an imaginary enemy. But since she could interfere with her own work, it would be too frustrating if she didn’t give her some trouble, wouldn’t it?
Shireen Miller watched as York Charlie looked as normal, and Blanche Capra looked as if she had no problem with it, so she dropped the subject.
“By the way, Blanche, Vera said that there were too many people yesterday, and it happened to be particularly crowded at that moment, and she was pushed a little bit, and accidentally caused you to fall down. She felt especially guilty, and knowing that I was coming to see you today, she even asked me to help her apologise to you.”
This matter Shireen Miller almost forgot to explain, and only just thought of it. Yesterday had really been a matter of taking herself off the hook no matter what, even if it was on Vera, and she couldn’t afford to leave a bad taste in York’s mouth again.
Blanche Capra almost laughed out loud: she’d thought Shireen Miller had become shrewd when she’d met her this morning, but she hadn’t realized that she’d gone back on her wits after just a few words: and to say that now! She hadn’t thought that Shireen Miller had anything to do with this. Originally, she hadn’t thought about this Shireen Miller thing. But in her defence, she’d almost said she’d had her fall done.
Blanche Capra was about to taunt Shireen Miller when York Charlie beat her to it, “Well, it was yesterday. It’s in the past.”
Shireen Miller’s heart leapt up at the sound of this, York was being kind to her! But York Charlie’s next words almost made him jump.
“Blanche Capra, you can’t go back to work for a while with your injured foot. It’s a break anyway, so how about you come over and work for me as a personal assistant?”
“No way.”
“Don’t.”
The two women objected in unison with one voice.
Shireen Miller heart hate straight bite teeth, she early and York Charlie do not know how many times explicitly implied, but York Charlie either to “public is public, private is private” back to her, or simply pretend not to understand. Luckily, York Charlie’s main assistants have always been male, which made her let go of this idea.
Why should Blanche Capra get the opportunity she’d been begging for just because she’d been injured?
