The Runaway Groom

So, Vivian was trying to put her on her payroll? Sue had been working for a good family before and certainly never experienced this.

However, there was one thing she knew-to never take what was not hers. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Even if she did, she would eventually pay the consequences and be left worse off than now.

That was why she must never fall to temptation, not to mention that Mr. Slate was paying her well!

Moreover, it was all thanks to Wendy fighting for her. There was no way she would work against Wendy!

And having worked at Monsoon for a while, she knew how much rich families pay their maids. Three grand per month was already good, and Mr. Slate paid her three and a half! If anything, even the maids in Monsoon would be jealous of her, and it was all the more reason for her to say no!

"I'm afraid I can't do it," she told Vivian, thickening her accent to make her seem even more ignorant. "Us bumpkins only know things like housework. I really can't do what you've asked me to." Vivian frowned, a bit jarred by the accent.

But she knew Sue was rejecting her-she at least knew that much!

Pigheaded bumpkin!

"What are you saying?" She smiled, not sure why Sue would reject her offer. "I'm sure you were recruited into Monsoon because you're capable, and I'm just asking something very simple. Why not do it? Why suffer? Aren't you stupid?"

If she were in Sue's place, she would have taken the money so that her son could have a comfortable life while not having to worry about being pestered by creditors!

"I can handle my problems myself. And I'm sorry, I'm going to be late," Sue said, refusing to stay and argue since Vivian was insistent.

She made her position clear, just as she was perfectly aware who between Vivian and Wendy had their best interest in mind!

Vivian was left watching as Sue strode out of the cafe, and she slammed a fist down on the table in anger!

As she left herself, she was cursing as she shook her wrist, perhaps from pain.

On the other hand, Sue quickly bought everything Lulu needed and returned to Zachary's Mansion.

It was a hot day out, and she was

in sweat when she got et

back, although she tried to get

herself a few times.

"Thanks, Sue," Lulu said in greeting to her.

"Oh, it's nothing. Is Star awake?"

Lulu nodded-the baby had been

her mother around. Cet

around.

Even when she saw Sue return, she held out her little hands to her.

"I'm sweaty..." Sue smiled in embarrassment when she saw that, holding out her hand instead of picking up the baby.

After all, she reeked of sweat, while the baby had this nice milky smell.

Lulu smiled mildly, noting Sue's dilemma. "You should go wash up."

Going out during hard days was harsh on anyone, after all.

Meanwhile, the meeting room in Slate Industries was cold as winter.

"How did our competitors find out about our tender beforehand?"

heart racing.
