Wendy has always been decisive. When she spoke and didn't see Arthur move, her face immediately sank. "Do as I say!" One is the fiancée of the master, the other is the old lady of House Iago. Arthur hesitated for only a second before apologetically bowing to Amanda.
"Amanda, sorry, please go back to your room."
Yes, this was the most compromising solution he could think of, but clearly this was not the result Wendy wanted.
She frowned coldly, although much shorter than Amanda, she was imposing. She took a step forward and pushed Amanda in the chest without any politeness.
"Okay, now everyone is turning against me, thinking I'm old and useless, right? Fine, I'll do it myself."
Don't be fooled by the old lady's shaky appearance, she's quite strong. Amanda was pushed hard by her and stumbled back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.
The old lady doesn't seem to be done yet, she's rolling up her sleeves and about to pull the person up from the ground.
Osiris is not at home, Arthur dare not take the risk, he quickly stopped the angry Wendy.
"Madam, I'm not ignoring you, but this young lady is Mr.'s fiancee, I can't—"
"Fiancee?"
If Wendy was just annoyed with Amanda earlier, now she's really upset. "Where did Osiris's fiancée come from? Why didn't I know about this?! Don't tell me all this nonsense right now, you!" She pointed at Amanda with an unfriendly look. "And you, don't pretend to be weak here. My old lady can't stand your fake sympathy."
Amanda bit her lower lip, looking restrained, only to receive a disdainful look from Wendy the old lady. "Go and fetch Osiris for me, whether he's working or fooling around, you have five minutes to contact him. If I don't see Osiris in an hour, you're out of here! Both of you, get out of Wuthering Manor!"
Early morning.
The sunlight hasn't completely emerged from the mountain top, only a hazy light gold has appeared, and the person in bed is awakened.
"I'm sorry, Miss Elena, I know it's still early, but I'm in a hurry and can only call you."
One end of the phone is a clear and bright female voice, sounding young and polite.
Elena blinked and turned to look at the phone. The unfamiliar number made her already groggy head even dizzier.
"Um, who is this?" she asked hoarsely.
"I am Luna Li, Mr. MK's exclusive editor," she paused for a moment, "Mr. MK suddenly went missing a week ago, and I had no choice but to contact you."
Elena furrowed her brows in confusion for a moment, then suddenly realized who MK was, and instantly became alert.
"Are you Luna? The editor for Mark... I mean, MK?"
She propped up her upper body and held the phone in a more serious manner. The person on the other end probably didn't expect her sudden question and was silent for a few seconds. "Yes, Mr. MK left your contact information in the previous records. I'm glad you haven't changed your phone number."
Elena sat with her legs crossed. She had only met Luna Li once, and she vaguely remembered her as a pretty girl wearing glasses.
"Is the situation very tricky?" she asked nervously.
Contacting her would definitely prove that something had happened.
"Yes, it's very tricky," Luna's voice sounded quite helpless. "The deadline was last week, but I haven't been able to reach Mr. MK. If we don't have the manuscript by three o'clock this afternoon, the Zachary's Hard Times Series Three won't make it to the promotional event..."
It sounds pretty serious.
"Don't worry, I'll go remind him to hand in the manuscript to you right away," Elena said as she jumped out of bed with her phone still stuck to her ear. She used one hand to take off her pajamas, then suddenly thought of something and curiously asked.
"Miss Luna, may I ask a personal question?"
There was the sound of flipping pages on the other end of the phone, sounding very busy. But Luna Li still responded.
"Elena Miss, what would you like to ask?"
The tone was indifferent, with no discernible emotion.
Elena paused in the act of putting on her clothes, then smiled and asked, "Miss Luna, are you single now?"
"No."
Luna Li calmly denied, "I'm sorry, I still have business to attend to. Elena, please convey a message for me to Mr. MK after you meet him."
"What is it?" Elena nodded on the other end of the phone.
"At 3:15, if I still haven't seen the manuscript, I will take the earliest flight tonight to find him. He can run, but I won't give him the chance to escape again," Luna Li's determined voice resounded in Elena's ears.
"Okay, I will definitely convey that to him as it is," Elena replied.
Hang up the phone, Elena's smile never faded.
Sure enough, the person the Snowd Family likes has enough courage!
Elena found Maxim in the rose bushes in the courtyard after breakfast.
At this moment, Maxim looks like a delicate beauty, lying on a swaying wicker chair, absorbing the gentle sunlight.
