When Valeria woke up, it was already noon and it was quiet in the villa.She headed downstairs and one of the maids came to greet her, "Sir William has already gone to work.Lunch is ready.Do you want to eat now?"

"And the others?"Valeria asked offhandedly.

"Ms.Anthony and Lucas went out for errands and they probably won’ t be back for lunch today."

"Okay then, I'll have lunch now" answered Valeria.

Upon hearing that, the maid went to serve lunch at the dining table.

Valeria only had a few bites of food before she heard the sound of a car coming to a stop from the driveway.

It was Lucas, Paisley, and Danya returning from their trip.

One after another, the three of them walked through the front door, where the maid waited to ask, "Welcome back! Have you had anything for lunch yet?"

"No," Lucas simply replied.

Meanwhile, Paisley and Danya’s eyes fell on Valeria, who was sitting in the dining room.

Embarrassed, Valeria regretted not waiting a little longer, which she would have done if she had known that they would come back for lunch.

As her mouth fell open to explain, the maid said, "It's my bad.Miss Brown asked if the three of you would be back for lunch.I thought you wouldn't, so I suggested that she should eat first."

Lucas smiled, "It's alright.We didn't think we would be back in time for lunch either.We're back because something came up, and we need to go to the company later.Ms.Anthony, please eat something .We'll go to the office once you've finished your lunch."

Paisley nodded and walked towards the table with a smile.

She even warmly greeted Valeria, to which Valeria responded with a grin.

Meanwhile, Danya was following close behind Paisley, and she frowned at Valeria, "Miss Brown, have you just woke up?"

"Yes, “ Valeria nodded.

"Looks like you've taken the phrase ‘make yourself at home' literally, Miss Brown" Danya scorned.

Valeria glanced at Danya when she heard what she said and she was confused to see her disdainful look.

Valeria was sure that she had never done wrong to Danya, so she couldn't fathom why Danya was being so hostile to her.
