The days when I was a maid in another world

Leila has been waiting outside the gate, as if she will never leave unless she sees Sterling.As for Sterling, he stayed in the study until dark and didn't intend to go out to see her.

As for whether Sterling is too ruthless, an outsider like me cannot comment.

In fact, I'm not in the mood to sympathize with anyone right now either.In the eyes of outsiders, I am the only woman around Sterling.And my "true love" must be "high-profile".

Even Sterling said that if I leave the house, someone must follow me, otherwise I may never come back or come back lying down.

After a few days, even the most infatuated Layla failed to win back Sterling's heart, and the other mistresses quit.As for whether those women who pretended to be mistresses but were actually subordinates would take this opportunity to perform other tasks, Sterling didn't say, and I naturally wouldn't ask.

I suddenly discovered that there are many women under Sterling, except for Talis and those fake mistresses, there are probably more.

"You let a female subordinate pretend to be your mistress," I couldn't help teasing him, "Could it be that you want to take this opportunity to make a fake show for real?"

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, with a smile on his eyes, and he said, "If I like someone, I will indeed pursue it regardless of the cost. However, if I pretend to be someone in my heart, I will never tolerate other people."

"Tsk, you sound like an infatuated person." I couldn't help but stab him back, "That is to say, having so many women at the same time means that you don't have anyone you like yet?"

He smiled, and although he didn't speak, he obviously acquiesced.

"Then," I had to be a little more serious, "you dismissed those women now, does that also mean that you actually have someone you like?"

"Why guess like this?" He still smiled slightly, but his expression was unpredictable.

"Tch!" I couldn't help rolling my eyes, and snorted softly, "You're obviously using me as a shield for that person! I'll leave you in a few months, and if there is still a vacancy around you by then, I will definitely Someone will come to you again. Instead of contacting a new person, it is better to keep the old person who has been observing for a long time."

He lowered his eyelashes, his smile deepened but he didn't answer.

Eh, no!I suddenly realized that I seemed to be wrong.If he really has someone he likes, how can he pester me every day?If it's a show for outsiders to watch, there's no need to "real swords and guns" every day.

Therefore, it is more likely that he has not met the person he likes yet.I thought of one thing -

"Hey, you're not going to marry Princess Fiona, are you?" I remember that the name of the king's daughter seemed to be called by that name, and it was mentioned by the mysterious man when he reported to Sterling in Wangcheng.

He was obviously taken aback, and asked after a while, "You...how did you think of this?"

"Oh, I'll just say it casually." I scratched my face uncomfortably, thinking it's better not to say all the things I guessed randomly.

In fact, I think Sterling can consider political marriage if he has no one he likes.Right now, other lords except Brian are targeting him. It would be a good thing if he can become the king's son-in-law.

Just like the merchant family of our Tang family, the marriage of the children will definitely be linked to the interests of the company.If the situation is better, you can find a good match and see each other well. If the situation is not good, you will be forced by your parents to combine with someone you don't like at all.In short, it is simply impossible to find a poor and white person as a spouse.

If someone like Sterling is involved in many aspects such as politics, territory, and trade, if he marries an ordinary person, anyone who knows will call him stupid.

Sterling's expression was a bit dumbfounding.He raised his hand and rumpled my hair, and said, "Don't guess, and don't inquire, the less you know, the better for you."

Also, the situation he is in must be extremely complicated, and it is better for me to care less.

"Don," his expression suddenly became solemn, "You know what? A person like me cannot be without weaknesses." He paused, and sighed, "If a person has no weaknesses, his boss will , colleagues and subordinates are afraid and uneasy.”

"So," I instantly understood the meaning of his words, "Your weakness is lust?"

He smiled and nodded, and then his expression changed from solemn to frivolous. He reached out and touched my face, and said, "Now, you are my biggest weakness."

I:"……"

Fuck, can you stop always looking for opportunities to "trick/play" me?

"Then should I feel honored?" I couldn't help but sneer, and thought to myself: Weaknesses are used to be attacked and calculated. If I were your weakness, I would really be a target.

"It's my honor..." He smiled maliciously, pulled me into his arms, and gently kissed my face, "Now, do I have the honor to invite you..."

"No!" Guessing what he was going to say, I refused without hesitation.

"Let's have dinner together." After finishing the rest of his sentence, he looked at me with a smile.

Oh, this guy definitely did it on purpose!

"Then what are you waiting for? I'm starving!" I broke free from his embrace, turned and walked out the door.

A low laugh came from behind, I swear, I really want to turn around and kick him hard!

***

Although I know that going out of the house is a dangerous act, but I have been holding back for too long, and I really want to go out for a stroll and buy something along the way.

Hearing what I said, Sterling nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment, and at the same time arranged for someone to go out with me.

So, I chose a day with good weather, changed into an inconspicuous woman's dress, and prepared to go shopping.

When I came to the gate, the person who was going to accompany me was already waiting there.

"Hi, Alger." I greeted him with a smile.

He didn't wear a military uniform today, but changed into ordinary clothes. Like me, he tried to dress as low-key as possible.But his gorgeous golden hair always set off his extraordinary temperament.

"Donnie," he smiled at me, "Let's go, let's go back early."

Seeing the sincere smile in his eyes, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.As a "woman who successfully climbed the bed", I was actually afraid of being looked down upon by him.

The last time when they met him pretending to be a pregnant woman, both of them were so preoccupied that they didn't care about the other's expression.Now facing his smile, I feel safe and warm in my heart.

Maybe we can really be good friends.

When I came to the largest street in the city, I walked around casually while paying attention to the novelties in the surrounding shops or small stalls.Because I'm leaving soon, and I don't have any worries, I'm in the mood to take a good look around Terai City now.

There are still more than three months, and I will leave this world. Maybe, I can buy some "souvenirs" to take back.

Seeing that it was almost noon, I decided to find a place to eat with Alger first.

"Alger, which restaurant in the city has a better reputation?" I asked.

Alger thought for a while and said, "There is a good one in the south of the city, and the steak is very good."

"Okay, let's go there." I immediately made a decision.

Before going out, Sterling gave me a lot of money, and even without his sponsorship, I still had the one-year salary I had advanced in hand, so I could still afford to treat Alger to a meal.

The two of us immediately walked to the south of the city and decided to continue shopping after dinner.

When passing by the fountain square in the center of the city, a few children in ragged clothes suddenly surrounded them, pleading incessantly: "Good sir and miss, please have pity on us!"

They surrounded themselves very tightly, which meant that they were sloppy to the end.

Naturally, I didn't care about the children, and seeing how pitiful they looked, I immediately opened the purse, ready to give them some change.

A figure quickly ran past me, and the money bag in my hand was instantly snatched away.

Damn, how dare you rob!

I immediately chased after me, and at the same time I heard Alger chasing after me and shouting: "Donnie, don't chase me!"

I was taken aback for a moment, then thought that this might be a trap, and my own safety was more important, so I stopped.When I turned around and looked at Alger, there was a figure in my sight that was inexplicably familiar to me.I subconsciously looked towards the street intersection on the left, and saw a petite figure walking deep into the road.

Anna!

I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran over there immediately.

I'm going to ask her if she did it!If yes, why did you lie to me for so long!

"Donnie!" Alger yelled, and also chased after her.

I didn't care about talking too much with Alger, I just wanted to catch that figure before she disappeared.Our running startled many people, and the figure I was chasing also looked back, and after seeing clearly that it was me, she immediately ran wildly.

It really is Anna!What's more, she actually wanted to escape, which means she has a guilty conscience!

Anger was burning in my chest, and my steps quickened.

After Anna ran to the front intersection, she quickly dodged to the left. I was afraid that I would lose track, so I immediately caught up and turned to the left.But what I didn't expect was that a pistol was firmly locked on my face.

Anna pointed a gun at me, and after I stood motionless, she immediately stepped forward and pressed the gun to my forehead, while twisting my arm and forcing me to turn around.

Because of the long distance and fast running, I kept panting for breath at this time, but my heart felt a chill because of the gun being pressed against my head.

In the end it was careless, I never thought that Anna would not only lie to me, but also threaten my life.

When Alger came after me, what he saw was my current distressed appearance.

"Anna?" He was obviously taken aback when he saw who was holding the gun, "Anna, what do you want to do to Donnie? Let go!"

"Don't worry, I just have something to say to him." Anna said as she moved the muzzle of the gun to my jaw, and at the same time hid behind my back and squeezed my arm tightly, "Alger, if you don't want to Donnie is injured, let us go."

Alger's brows were deeply frowned, and one hand had already reached into the skirt of his clothes to feel for the gun, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Alger," I calmed down, and said flatly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, you go back first."

"Donnie!" He obviously disagreed with my decision, turned to look at Anna and said, "Anna, didn't you make friends with Donnie before? Why are you doing this now?"

"I said, I don't want to hurt her." Anna said while pulling me back, "However, if you keep chasing me, I don't guarantee that my gun won't go off."

As soon as these words came out, Alger's footsteps trying to catch up immediately stopped.

I slowly took a few steps back under Anna's pull, and then our direction changed, and I was pulled into a door next to me by her.
