In a corner, there were a few female domestic helpers huddled together, and all of them were wiping down a single cabinet at the same time. They would sneak a glance at Yin Shaojie with every other wipe and cover their mouths while giggling girlishly.
Just then, a shadow appeared behind them and laid an ominous hand onto one of them.
âHow dare you slack off?â
The few domestic helpers jumped in fright. Luckily, they all had been well-trained and none of them screamed out, but all of them lowered their heads in embarrassment.
âLisa⦠Why did you have to frighten us like that!â One of the domestic helpers was on more intimate terms with Lisa and grumbled.
Lisa smiled. âWhoâre you peeking at?â
The domestic helper pointed her chin in the direction of the sofa. âThereâs a guest who looks really special. Butler Qi let him in directly without even informing the Master, and he even looked very friendly when they were talking.â
Butler Qi was usually a strict and imposing figure and was never friendly when talking to subordinates such as them.
One of the domestic helpers said excitedly, âHeâs so handsome! Heâs the most handsome Asian man Iâve seen so far. Heâs really out of this world!â
Another domestic helper echoed, âYeah, yeah! I thought Asian men were not my type, but this one⦠he is deathly mesmerizing!â
Lisa looked at them, amused. âHow exaggerated can you all get? Does his handsomeness warrant such reactions?â
It was not uncommon for people in their positions, as workers for the elite of society, to encounter handsome men and gorgeous ladies all day long.
The domestic helpers nudged her. âYou can go and see for yourself if you donât believe me. I guarantee that youâll find him handsome too.â
As the Missâ personal maid, Lisa ranked slightly higher than these domestic helpers in their hierarchy. She didnât have to sneak surreptitious glances at him like they did but walked over boldly.
When she reached him and saw his face, she stood rooted to the spot in astonishment.
Noticing her gaze in his peripheral vision, Yin Shaojie turned his eyes towards her.
At that moment, Lisa met his eyes. It was like black obsidian, and she felt as though she was falling through an endless galaxy of stars, spacing out a little.
Yin Shaojie looked nonchalant. He was evidently used to such gazes.
âIs there a matter?â he asked.
Lisa recovered her senses quickly, all the while chastising herself internally for losing her composure. She resumed an appropriate attitude and smiled as she walked over. âYoung Master, is the water to your liking? Do you want a new beverage?â she asked.
Yin Shaojie looked away. âThereâs no need.â
âIâll not disturb you then,â Lisa replied politely and retreated.
She was accosted by the domestic helpers once she returned.
âLisa, isnât he handsome! Isnât he handsome!â
Lisa coughed a little awkwardly. âHeâs quite handsome⦠Alright, get going and stop lazing around, all of you. Youâll be punished if Butler Qi comes and finds you like this.â
âWe werenât being lazy. Anyway itâs still early, and we usually take things slow anyway.â
âThis hunk seems to be here for the Miss. Say, do you think heâs Missâ boyfriend?â
Only Mu Zhengbai and the butler were aware of Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojieâs engagement; the rest of the household was still in the dark.
âItâs possible! I feel like he looks compatible with the Miss!â
âHis cool demeanor makes him so frigginâ handsome! Did you notice? He seems like a bossy person from the way he looks. The âbossy CEOâ man is my type!â
Lisa waved a hand in front of them, interrupting their conversation.
