Chapter 0134

Violet lay motionless when she sensed his arousal. The night stretched on without further

incident.

Come morning. Violet woke alone in bed. Lucius had used her as a mattress the night before, but he was long gone.

She rolled over, her body aching as if it were ready to fall apart. A testament to being squeezed under someone weighing more than a hundred kilograms all night.

Regrettably, it was a workday.

Violet struggled to get up. Her hands worked to soothe the ache in her shoulders and back as she made her way out.

George greeted her with a warm smile. “Ms. Violet, did you sleep well?”

Violet gazed at the butler, wondering if it seemed like she had gotten a good night’s sleep.

George gave a knowing grin, but his eyes lingered on her for a long time.

Realizing his potential misinterpretation, Violet quickly set things straight, explaining, “Lucius was ill. I was merely caring for him, nothing more.”

George stayed deafeningly silent. He took a step forward to set the table for breakfast.

“Ms. Violet, eat breakfast before you go to work,” he advised. “The car is ready to take you to work whenever you’re ready.”

She ate with an appetite, the events of the night had left her famished.

Post–breakfast, George saw her off and went on to say, “Actually, Master Lucius never keeps anyone by his side, especially in his vulnerable moments.”
