Mr. Crawford Refuses To

“She has to go back. You can accompany her if you want. Perhaps you can ask the chauffeur to send you back when you need a facial treatment." Luke insisted and left no room for negotiation.

"No way. It'll be so troublesome for me to go back and forth." Allison immediately skipped Luke's first suggestion and rejected the second one. "There are so many guest rooms in Crawford Manor. Why can't you let Sophian stay here?"

Luke's voice was deep, and the expression on his face was as cold as ice. "Crawford Manor isn't some kind of shelter. Not just anyone is allowed to come in here."

"What do you mean? Sophian is my personal nurse. She's not a refugee." Allison furrowed her brows and slammed the dressing table.

"Bringing an unknown person into the house during the new year isn't allowed. I've given you two options. You'd better consider them." Luke stood up. He was not planning to let her continue with her nonsense.

Allison leaped to her feet and said, "How dare you say my subordinate is a refugee while it's totally fine for you to let a woman stay in your villa?! Luke Crawford, I'm your mother. I'm going to jump from here if you kick Sophian out."

The maid, who was tidying up the room, dared not to gasp for air while they were arguing. She was so frightened that she accidentally dropped the bag on the floor when she heard Allison say something like that.

Allison's eyes were red when she turned around and looked at the maid. She shouted, "My bags are expensive. Can you afford to compensate me if you ruin one?"

"I'm sorry, Madam Allison. I'll be careful." The maid immediately picked up the bag.

Luke chimed in, "There are many antiques in Crawford Manor. There are many important documents in the safe too. Are you going to be responsible for them if they go missing?"

"What do you mean? The woman I brought back here is a personal nurse. She's a professional, not any Tom, Dick, or Harry. She's not a thief either. How could you say something so mean?' Allison's voice was sharp.

Luke looked at her and replied, "It's not the first time you brought a thief into the house."

Allison was so furious that her hands were quivering with anger when she heard Luke's insult.
