Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

414 The Maid

Hearing that, Nancy glanced at her and snorted before taking a bite of the moon cake with a chopstick.

Brian and the Maid were oblivious to the little action Nancy just made, they were carried away with

their conversation.

“I’ve heard of country V but wasn’t fortunate enough to go there. I’m sure it would be a very relaxing place to spend a holiday.”

The maid nodded fervently, “Indeed! The place has a beautiful sight but unfortunately, it doesn’t gain traffic. Also, there was a rumor of an earthquake and tsunami causing chaos there last month. Too bad it wasn’t featured in the news, so I have no idea if it’s another clout–chasing wannabe influencer spreading such fake rumors again,” she sighed regrettably.

“Even though it might be fake news, there’s no harm in being careful. Why not ask your family members who live there? I’m sure your grandparents are still there, right?”

She shook her head, “Fifteen years ago, my grandparents died as a result of flood, so my parents left and relocated to Country G.” She smiled, trying to mask her ‘pain.

“Oh… I’m sorry, that must have been a painful memory.”

The Maid smiled, “It’s fine, it’s fine… Hehehe…” she chuckled.

While Brian and the maid were hitting off real good, Nancy was scrutinizing her up and down with emotionless eyes.

The Maid looked her way and their eyes met. She didn’t take her eyes off the woman immediately like she ought to. It wasn’t her fault, the woman’s overly pale complexion caught her attention, followed by her dark eyes. She was scrutinizing Nancy’s face and noticed that the woman looked a bit weird and her eyes weren’t piercing like she expected but rather dim with hidden pain and rage.
