Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Work Extremely Hard

The mirror in the bathroom was obscured by a layer of vapor. The man lifted his hand to wipe it. The reflection revealed his thin and cold side profile. There was no sound outside the room.

His eyes sank. The image of Jean and Ben together kept swirling around in his mind. Wearing his bathrobe, he laughed gently at himself.

If he had known earlier what it was that he wanted, he wouldn’t be so tortured at the moment. The door of the bathroom opened. Vapor drifted out and as expected, Jean was nowhere to be seen in the room.

He couldn’t explain the feeling in his heart.

His eyes darkened. As he was taking off his bathrobe, the door was pushed open.

Jean was startled. She turned around in a rush. “Wear… wear your clothes!”

She didn’t think that he would come out so quickly.

She had witnessed such a scene.

Edgar hurriedly put on a sweater. His Adam’s apple rumbled. “I’m done.”

Jean placed coffee and tea on his desk. She hung her head and said in a light voice, “Mm. Can we change the conditions?”

Her fingertips that were holding onto the tray tightened.

“Even if it’s being a servant in Royden Residence or cleaning the toilets in Royden Group, I’m willing to do everything except…”

Other than the way of begging that he mentioned, she was willing to put down her dignity and pride.

Saying that, she shut her eyes in pain.

Edgar’s gaze fell on her. It was filled with anxiety, conflict, and hesitation.

Jean kept looking down. Her brow wrinkled deeper when she didn’t hear a response from him.

If he didn’t agree, she didn’t have any other way.

“Can you at least give me a few more days? I’ll find a way to free Eyer Group from that predicament. One week at most. If I can’t do it, Eyer Group can be found in breach of contract. When the time comes, I will shoulder all responsibility.”

The air was still for a long time.

“How are you going to assume all responsibility?” He suddenly said.

His voice was near her. It was almost at the top of her head. “With Ben?”

Jean frowned. “Can you stop bringing him up?”

It was a matter between them. Why did he have to bring other people into it!
