Chapter 77
Livia’s shophouse.
Back to work, again collecting the money she earned herself. Even though she doesn’t know what reason, she is still excited about running her online shop, Unfortunately, the money she received from the Damian master was far from the nominal income.
More and more days, as the time rolls and runs around, Livia tries to accept her fate as Damian’s wife. Honestly, she might be sad if Damian suddenly dumped her. However, her heart wants to explode with joy when Damian praises her that she is beautiful, and she actually enjoys sleeping with Damian every night. Livia chased her worries back with much more enthusiasm for work. “Push it.” Livia pulled the large package filled with children’s clothes towards the second floor with all her might. Tiffany pushed hard from the bottom too. This is the third package today.
She collapsed on the mattress after all three packages landed perfectly, “Gosh, I want to have a one- story shop, big, spacious, wide!” She shouts loudly for her dream to fly high into the sky. While Tiffany laughed, she sat back on the bed, where Livia lay straightening her waist.
“Miss Livia, may I ask you something?”
After gulping down almost half of the bottle of cold drink in her hand. She glanced at her female boss.
“What?”
“Mr. Damian does not comment on Ms. Livia’s work, right? If you line it up, everyone knows how much Mr. Damian’s wealth is.” Tiffany laughed to herself at her words. There are no definite figures when it comes to calculating how much money Mr. Damian has. Even Livia doesn’t know how many companies he owns under Alexander Group.
Livia looked up at the ceiling. Her breath was heavy,
‘I don’t know what my future will be, Tiffany. Can I still be beside Damian or not? To this day, it’s probably only my heart that wavered a little because of his gentle demeanor. But I don’t want to hope.’
“He never asked how much my sales turnover was. The important thing is that I get home on time and be home when he comes back. That’s enough.”
“Oh my gosh, Ms. Livia’s husband is really sweaty, so he always asks to be welcomed when he comes home. How sweet! Miss Livia, how do you welcome her? Immediately hug him when he gets out of the car or something?”
“Well, this is adult material.” Livia sat down, grabbed the water bottle that Tiffany had been drinking, then finished the contents until nothing was left. “So fresh.”
“Miss, is it okay if you always buy a lot of luxury food for us now? Even though we are happy, it’s not cheap.” Livia’s employees are outstanding. They are never too demanding and work hard. But if Livia gives anything, whatever it is, they always sincerely thank her.
“Don’t worry. I’ll use the card Mr. Damian gives me. Don’t worry, if I don’t use the money, he can get angry. So count on us helping him spend the money.”
“It’s good to be Ms. Livia. I also want to have a husband like Mr. Damian.” Tiffany laughed dreamily.
‘Don’t Tiffany, don’t hope and dream of having a husband like him.’
The cell phone ringing interrupted their conversation as two employees appeared from downstairs. They already look satisfying rest. Eat well, stomach full, time to get back to work again.
Livia took the bag that was sitting in the corner of the bed. Meanwhile, Tiffany talked to her employee friends.
“Are you done with lunch?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s separate the clothes first. Pack all those who have resellers first. The notes are in the drawer.”
They took the book according to Tiffany’s instructions. Meanwhile, Livia was still looking for the ringing cellphone in the bag. “Hello, David, what’s up?” She listened to her brother. “Mother and Lisa? What do they want?”
Silent.
“Okay, I will wait.”
Connection lost
Livia was silent on the bed, and her cellphone was at her feet. Her mind was running all over the place.
‘Lisa and her mother, what do they want? Why do I feel so uncomfortable like this? They won’t do anything. They won’t avenge me because of my dad’s birthday, Because there is Mr. Damian at that time said they couldn’t work on me. But they came with David. So it should be okay.’
It was almost three o’clock, and Livia was packing small packages of retail orders. At the same time, others pack larger boxes belonging to resellers.
Livia still looked restless. When Tiffany shouted from downstairs made her jump.
David is waiting outside the shop.
“Wait a minute!”
I’d better call Assistant Brown first, ask Mr. Damian will he be back before dinner or not.’ “Assistant Brown, will Mr. Damian be back before dinner?” Message sent.
“Yes. Young lady. Lightning-fast answer. ‘Is the cellphone always in his hand? How is his reaction so responsive like this. So I have to be back before five o’clock. What if they took so long?’
“Can you take Mr. Damian somewhere first before going home? Looks like I have some urgent need. So I’m afraid I can’t come back in time.” Giving a pleading emoji with clasped hands. “What are you going to do. Young lady?”
The sentence is like saying, don’t do anything that troubles yourself. Come back on time and don’t make trouble.
“No, I just want to meet my brother.”
‘Sorry, David, I only use your name because I just need a longer permit when I mention mother and Lisa.’
“Alright, I’ll pass it to the young master.”
“Is that true?” It’s been a long wait, not like before. Maybe Assistant Brown is asking Mr. Damian.
“Enjoy your time with your brother. See you later.”
Why do I feel every sentence always has a hidden meaning. He won’t suddenly appear at my shop, right?’ Livia rushed downstairs after sending her message. She came out of the shop to find the three of them sitting on a park bench. “Sister Livia.” Lisa is holding Livia’s hand after approaching her.
“Uh. How are you, mom?” Livia smiled lightly at her mother. “Livia, how are you? So long time no see.” The mother came to hug Livia first, making Livia react by pulling her hand. She looked at David. Her brother shrugged.
“How about we talk inside?” Livia knows this is an unnatural attitude. The way mom treats her is no different on dad’s birthday. But back then, there was Mr. Damian and Assistant Brown, who was like a ghost everywhere.
But now, they have no one watching.
“Okay.”
Mother and Lisa walk in front of them. “What is this?” Livia whispered beside David. “I don’t know, sis.”
All employees moved to the first floor, David helped move the package box from the second floor. He joins in helping replace Livia. Wrap the package. Glancing briefly at the stairs. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Is it okay to leave her alone?” Tiffany is worried. She knows how this family is related. She knew that the only man who had been good to Livia was this man in front of her.
“Mr. David, just go up to accompany Ms. Livia.” Seize the white duct tape seeds in the hands of David.
“Looks like it’s okay. If sis Livia screams, then I’ll go upstairs.” Reclaim the duct tape in Tiffany’s hand while glaring. “Okay. Anyway, this box can already be installed with duct tape. Please help, Mr. David.”
“Okay, that’s how it is.”
Happy to help. The part that David likes the most when wrapping packages is putting duct tape on packets that have been addressed. He’s just finishing the final.
The sound of a roll of duct tape being pulled for some reason was funny. Sometimes he wraps packages until the duct tape is doubled.
That’s right, and Tiffany snatched the duct tape from David’s hand when he was out of control.
“I’m sorry.” David laughed.
The others could only shake their heads at David’s behavior.
Luckily, he is the brother that Ms. Livia loves.
