"Jane, it's time for lunch. I cooked the lunch. Get up and eat some."
Sabina's voice is very gentle. In an instant, she becomes a kind mother-in-law.
I'm not used to it, but I do feel hungry. I look at the time and find that it is twelve o'clock at noon.
"OK, I'll be right down."
Sabina goes downstairs. I get up and wash up before go downstairs.
When I come downstairs, Frances happens to come back from outside.
Why does he come back at noon?
"Frances, welcome back. I cooked the lunch. Would you like to have lunch with us?"
"You cooked it?" Frances frowns, and his expression clearly shows that he is a little surprised.
I am also very surprised.
Sabina's cooking is good and the dishes are very exquisite, completely different from the common
dishes I cook.
I understand very well that there is still a big gap between me and the upper class.
I marry into a wealthy family, but I've never been the same kind of person as them.
"This matsutake is good. It's good for your body. You're so thin. You should eat more to tonify your
body."
Sabina says to me. As she says that, she puts a few pieces of matsutake into my bowl.
Frances is frozen there, and it is obvious that he doesn't believe what he sees.
A few seconds later, he looks up at me, then at Sabina. He frowns and asks, "When did you get along
so well?"
I don't know.
Sabina changes so suddenly. Everyone will think it strange.
"I suddenly see Jane a good daughter-in-law. Why can't I treat her better?" Sabina rolls her eyes at
Frances, successfully stopping his doubts.
"OK."
Frances say helplessly.
I sneak a glance at him and find a faint smile on his face.
Why is he smiling? What's so funny?
After lunch, Frances says to me, "Let's go to work. You are absent for half a day."
"You didn't come back to take me to work, did you?" I ask in surprise.
I don't mind going to work, but I'm unwilling to share an office with him and work with him face-to-face.
"Otherwise?" Frances raises his eyebrows noncommittally.
Okay.
I never understand what this unscrupulous boss is thinking.
I go out with Frances. Before I go out, Sabina winks at me and signals for me to ask Frances.
I nod and promise her.
However, I have to ask him at the right time and place. Otherwise, it will be too strange if I ask such a
question all of a sudden.
In the afternoon, I don't even talk to Frances, let alone look for an opportunity to ask him.
I really don't understand why he called me to the office. He doesn't give me any work, nor does he talk
to me. Could it be that he wanted to keep an eye on me nearby?
I can't figure out, so I stop thinking.
In the middle of work, the police station calls Frances several times.
It looks like they talk about me. However, Frances just says a few word on the phone. I don't know what
exactly the police say at all.
After work, Frances takes a USB drive from his computer and takes me to the police station.
Whitney is also there. When she sees that Frances is with me, her eyes are filled with resentment.
I think she hates me as much as she loves Frances.
After walking in, Frances hands the USB drive to the police and smiles faintly at Whitney.
"You probably don't know that my house is equipped with surveillance cameras."
