As soon as Maria got out of the BMW, she saw a maid waiting for them at the gate.
"Mr. Jenkins, Miss Jenkins, welcome back! I have been waiting for you guys. Lunch is ready."
"Yes, please. I'm starving! Did you cook my favorite garlic shrimp, Lily?"
Vivian asked with an expectant look. At the same time, the maid called Lily hurriedly took her bag with a warm smile.
"Yes, of course! Everything's ready inside. Please go wash up and enjoy the lunch." Lily adored Vivian so much. She always looked at the young woman as if she was an avid fan looking up at her idol.
"You've just arrived, so you shouldn't be familiar with the surroundings. Anyway, Lily, the maid here, will show you around the house. For now, she will accompany you to the room I prepared for you," Bill said flatly.
Then, he turned to Lily and instructed her, "This is Maria. From now on, she'll be part of this family, as my daughter of course. Show her to her room so she can settle down first."
"Yes, Mr. Jenkins, right away."
Lily bowed respectfully before standing still again.
However, instead of a welcoming smile, she glanced coldly at Maria and didn't bother helping her carry her luggage as she did for Vivian just now.
