soren clicked his tongue, clearly displeased by the way Tara avolded him.
Seren, watch yourself, Tara’s a woman. Show s
“Yes, I can see that she’s a woman. I was just testing her, Soren replied, sounding irritated.
Tara had spent enough time around Soren to losow that while he seemed tippant on the surface, he truly didn’t take anything seriously.
“Mr. Farrell, there’s no need to text me again. From now on, I’ll keep thuer paces away from you at all times. I won’t have any contact with you.
”
Soren raised an eyebrow. Was she drawing a line with how? He stepped forward, but Laner reached out and stopped him, not letting him get closer to Tara. Tara actually took three steps back, putting more space between them.
soren let out a frustrated laugh. “Tata, come here.”
When she saw that look on his face, she knew nothing good was coming, so she stayed put.
“If there’s nothing else, I’m att for the day.”
She humed to leave but didn’t make it far when Soren uttered, “The bonus for the housekeepers this month…”
Tara instantly turned around and smiled politely. “Is there anything else you’d like me to do?”
She was all about standing her ground, unless money was involved. That bonus wasn’t just any bonus, it was almost equal to a full month’s salary.

He tilted his head and met Lance’s gaze. It was the first time Tara had ever sensed tension between the two of them.
She was confused. It wasn’t as if she was the only housekeeper in the house.
Just as star was about to say something, Stella came back and overheard Lance and Soren fighting over Tara
Assuming they didn’t realize another housekeeper was still on duty, Stella rushed over and stood in front of both men. “Mr. Swain, I’ll bring you the milk
stella didn’t want Tara petting too close to either of them. But if she had to choose between them, she’d pick Lance.
Lance glanced at Stella, who had come running over. He tightened his lips into a thin line but didn’t say anything.
On the other hand, Tata was perfectly for with this turn of events. She had just beeqabout to suggest posting a message in the staff group chat to ask who wanted. to take over the bulk delivery, but Stella showed upright on cÜP,
