Karen had waited in the living room for half an hour, but Nina had not shown up. She urged the cleaner impatiently, "Call her again and see when she's coming back!"

The house cleaner felt helpless. She lifted the cup of tea that Karen had rejected and replied, "Mrs. Mallory said she'd be back right after her meeting. The meeting might not even be over yet. Please be patient."

Karen heard her repeatedly addressing Nina as 'Mrs. Mallory' and felt annoyed.

Nina had not even gained recognition from the Mallory family, so why should she be called Mrs. Mallory?

While she was still fuming with anger and contemplating, a voice came from the doorway. "Sorry, I was in a meeting."

It was Nina's voice.

Karen straightened her posture, putting on an air of sophistication. She gave Nina a sidelong glance and said, "Hmph, a meeting? With that lousy job of yours, how much money can you really make? In the end, it's all Percy's money you're spending, right?"

Nina furrowed her brows. Before Percy went on a business trip, he had warned her that Karen might come here to cause trouble.

Karen was clearly in a bad mood these days. She would likely take it out on anyone she could, with Nina being the primary target.

Nina knew very well why she was the preferred target. Percy was away, and Karen was displeased with her. She knew Karen would seek her out to vent her frustrations when Percy was not around.

At the same time, Percy could not hide his business trip schedule from Karen because she would get him to do things for her.

"Thank you for your hard work. You may get off work now," Nina said to the house cleaner. What she said earlier was also meant for the cleaning lady.

However, Karen took it upon herself to respond. Nina did not bother explaining further to avoid making Karen more agitated.

Karen did not consider Nina a part of the Mallory family, so Nina did not feel the need to show her respect. That was also what Percy had told her.

However, Nina did not want to offend Karen either. Otherwise, it would make things difficult for Percy later.
