Mr Manoban's Daring Wife [Jenlisa]

Chapter 55: Burn It To Ash

"Where does it hurt?" He softly asked her, his voice was so alluring and kind, Jennie was left in a daze. He figured something must've happened to her if she couldn't stand up herself.

Despite his gentle voice, she couldn't help but overthink it. When he first arrived at the scene, she could feel his murderous aura. However, he was now gently asking her if she's hurt.

She thought he was purposely masking his anger so that he doesn't explode in front of so many people. Even if they were his servants, he has not had any scandals and his reputation will surely take a hit if a rumor spreads about him mistreating his employees because of a woman like Jennie. Her reputation was already destroyed, she didn't want to ruin someone else's.

She looked at her hands, her lips tightly sealed. Her silent treatment was enough to further provoke Lisa's anger.

He thought she would open up to him more because they had at least reached the stage of friendship. Their playful banter during breakfast had shortened some of the distance between them. He only changed out of his house clothes so he can drop her off, and now she was back to being distant. Weren't friends supposed to talk to each other about the things bothering them?

He thought he had taken one step forward, but now, it felt as if he had taken two steps back.

Annoyed and pissed at whoever caused this setback, he directed his harsh emotions to the pathetic woman beside Jennie.

Seeing him finally look at her and give her attention, Pei Qing looked at him with a hopeful expression.

"Pei Qing was it?" He asked, his eyes sweeping over her disheveled appearance and the mess on the floor surrounding both of them.

"Y-yes-"

"You're fired." He coldly told her, standing up and lifting a hand to beckon the old butler forward.

"Take her belongings and burn it to ash. Make sure she walks out of here without that uniform. I don't care if she has to walk out of here naked. Just get this trash out of my sight." He was seething as he gave his orders to the old man. The butler immediately nodded.

"Yes, sir." Without another word, the old butler forcefully hauled Pei Qing to her feet. She was so horrified at his words that her face had gone ghostly pale.

"W-wait Master Lisa! I'm sorry! I was in the wrong!" She shrieked, reaching out to hug his arm. She refused to go and instead, desperately clung onto Lisa.

She was scared of losing this well-paid job. On top of it, she was terrified of losing a place in his heart.

"Please give me another chance, I swear I won't do it again!" Pei Qing wailed, but couldn't go against the old butler's brute force. His appearance might not look like it, but in his youth, he was a very powerful man. Trained by the military to be a weapon of destruction, his strength was incredible.

With one rough tug, Pei Qing was a few inches away from Lisa. But she quickly scrambled back to him, clawing at the only thing she could hold onto. It just happened to be Lisa's leg.

The experienced servants couldn't help but internally scold her for her rash actions. While she might be a high-ranking maid, everyone knew their young master is not someone you can casually touch. Now, she was literally clutching a big thigh.

"I admit I was in the wrong! I promise I won't do it again!" She begged while looking up at his face.

Her crocodile tears from before became real and because of her struggle, she looked like a mess. Her hair was flying in every direction, she had mascara running down her cheeks, and her uniform covered with leftovers.
