Chapter 18
Al that moment, Lance’s chilly we came from the pool entrance.
He said, “Soren, I need to talk to you
The moment Lance approached, Tara clearly felt the strange tensionease,
saren returned to his nonchalant demeannt, hands casually stuffed in the pockets of his bathmbe, Histone was played, as it the awkwardness Tata had just felt had been nothing more than a fleeting Buston.
“Nothing good ever comes out of you talking
Lance walked closer, his faini gare sweeping wet Tara’s face, who showed signs of ease and confusion,
Socen picked up the towel from the lounge chair and casually dried bishoit
Tara wanted to stop him but was too late. He had taken the towel she used to wipe herneck and her clothes. Seeing him inte it on high
She remembered that Soren was a germaphobe and didn t dare imagine how fintous he would be if he found out the towel he wibbing on his hair had been used by her
Since be had already used it, Tara Teigned ignorance in avoid munecessary trouble
Saten tossed the towel aside and tumed to Tara, smiring. “Let’s play together again next time.
After he finished spealing, he swept his unfathomable gate over het bare feet before slinging an anniever Lance’s broad shoulders
Lance disliked Soren’s trivolous demeanor the most and immediately shook off the latter’s arm. Then, he shot him a cold glance and warned, stop teasing Tra
“Do I seem like that land of person?” saren acted as though he had been wronged.
Soren suddenly laughed. “I guess you really understand me, huh? i can’t help it, though. Tara’s reactions are just too amusing, so it’s really hard not to tease her.” Tara, who was standing behind them, was speechless. She wondered if he was saying that loadly on purpose so she could bear.
Disapproving of Son’s behavior, Lance frowned and said, “Tone it down a little. Don’t scare her.”
Tata was dead tired. She thought that dealing with Soren was more tiring than half a day’s work. She quickly packed up and pushed the cast away from the pool.
As she exited the pool area, she saw Halley wiping a vase–except her eyes kept darting toward the floor–to–ceiling windows facing the pool
Tark exactly what she was up to. She stopped the cart and deased her throat.
Startled, Hadley immediately retracted her prying gare and continued wiping the vase. When she tumed and saw that it was Tara, she gritted her teeth in
frustration.
Tara didn’t speak; she only looked at her with eyes that seemed to see through everything.
Hailey snatched up her rag and stormed off. The vase had long been polished to a shine.
Fumong, Hailey threw the rat into the sink she blamed herself for arriving too late. She hadn’t seen anything, and to make matters worse, Tara had caught her. It was humillating, to say the least s
But she felt that she didn’t need to worry. The one thing all the men seemed to dislike the most was Tara, and surely, Soren was the one who detested her the most. Hailey felt much better at the thought. She didn’t think that Son and the others could ever fall for a bimba like Tara, even if she had countless seduction tactics. During the noon break, Soren was deep in sleep, his brows fonowed and the veins on his forehead faintly visible. It seemed that something in his dream was making it difficult for him totain.control.
when he woke up, Soren threw of the covers with a darkened expression and cursed under his breath. “Fuck!”
He lowered his eyes, his expressiontemtyingly grim, just ercalling a fleeting moment from his dream made his gaze om story.
Tarasdeas,
-like eyes flashed before Sun’s vision. Recently, she had indeed sparked a bit of interest in him.
Tara, who was busy working in the villa, had no idea that soren had dreamed a certain kind of dream about her.
Tara entered the dining room during diet that evening and stood behind Shawn as usual,
Across from Shawn was Lance, who frowned slightly with displeasure when he saw her standing there again. However, he didn’t say anything
Teramaved mechanically, repeating fer usual tasks without glancing at the othermen’sexpressions
Lance occasionally lifted his gaze to look at her, but Tara was so focused on her work that she didn’t notice his repeated glaners.
Beside him, Soren wanian langualid as ever, though he no longer watched her with amusestant or teased her with his eyes.
the sticky pork ribs infront of you “Soien tilted his chin toward the plate of cibs in front of Shawn
Shawn motioned for Tara to take it to or “Give him the whole plate.”
for lazily raised his eyes to Tara, who was just about to pick up the plate. For some reason, he suddenly frowned and clicked his tongue. “I don’t want you That You–go bring the tower?
He called for Haley, who was standing beland him.
고
Hailey could barely contain ber excitement. She shot a song glance at Tata, feeling assured seemed that he had thoroughly grown tired of her.
she no longer had to worry about Soren showing interest in Tara. It
Stella smiled gently, though the disdain in her eyes as she looked toward Tara was becoming hand to conceal. She suspected that Tata had once again tried to seduce Soren this moming, only to end up angering him..
Tara herself didn’t sense anything amiss, nor was she embarrassed. She simply set the ribs back down. After all, Soren had disliked her for quite some time especially after she’d clapped back at him that morning.
Lance’s gaze held a trace of sympathy. Seeing Tara seemingly unbothered and continuing her work, he found that Soren’s actions were even more uncalled for.
Shawn was also displeased with Soren’s actions. Although Tara was a housekeeper, he thought that she still deserved to be treated with dignity.
Tara, from now on, ignore whatever Soren asks you to do.”
These words didn’t come from Shawn or Lance–but from Jonah, who had been silently eating.
Tara,
who was startled to hear Jonal
“Yes, Mr. Pearson.”
Jonah speak to her, stopped what she was doing and looked toward him.
Only when she looked up did she sense the awkward atmosphere in the dining room. Confused, she glanced at Soren again.
