Chapter 70 Edna


    Once again, Mr ke was the first person to alight from the hovercraft. He was assisted by some of his subordinates.


    Everyone alighted after he came down from the hovercraft. I stared at the building before us. It was big.


    We were currently in a secluded parking lot. It was connected to this building. This building should be called a mansion instead.


    It exuded aura. The only thing I have seen that supersedes this mansion was Killian''s Pce.


    A burst of sadness assaulted my heart when I thought of Killian. I bit my lips.


    I really missed him. The days we spent apart felt like it was decades.


    What was he doing? Was he still looking for me? Is he fine?


    I had many questions. Unfortunately, there was nobody to answer them.


    My nose began to sting and my eyes watered. I had to resist the urge to cry.


    "Come here." Mr ke''s voice said.


    I hid my special mood and kept everything under an expressionless face. My feet brought me to Mr ke''s current position.


    I stered a smile on My lips, "Sir, I am here."


    Mr ke''s eyes scanned my face, "Edna, you don''t look happy. Did something upset you? Is it the vehicle? If you weren''tfortable in the vehicle, why didn''t you speak up?"


    Hisst words had an element of me in it.


    I shook my head, "I am just remembering an unpleasant memory. It has nothing to do with you, sir. It has nothing to do with the vehicle also. You did everything perfectly. There''s nothing to criticize. Besides, I am not even in the position to criticize anything you do. You are my benefactor."


    "Pretentious." A low and whispering voice said after thest word dropped from my lips.


    Without looking at the source, I knew it came from Madeline.


    I ignored her once more.


    She was going to receive a retribution soon. I will let her dance around like a clown for a while longer.


    "Don''t belittle to yourself too much. You are an awesome youngdy." Mr ke said, "Walk with me."


    I wanted to roll my eyes. All these praises was because he wanted to get into my panties. I didn''t take them to heart at all.


    On the surface, thosepliments brightened my day. My smile became more genuine and bigger.


    The men around those escorted us into the mansion.


    Mr ke pointed to the leader of his subordinates, "James, call all the staffs that are not doing important stuff here. I have a few things to say to them."


    James, the leader of Mr ke''s subordinate group bowed his head a little.


    He straightened up and left.


    Within minutes, he was back.


    He wasn''t alone. Arge group was behind him.


    "They are here." He said to Mr ke in an humble tone.


    Mr ke nodded.


    Mr ke looked at the new arrivals steadily, "I have a few things to address. It is about the beautifuldy by my side."


    The people that arrived listened attentively. They didn''t look at Mr ke''s eyes directly but they kept their focus on him.


    "Her name is Edna. She will be here for a while. I want you to give her maximum respect if you see her, it is the same as seeing me. You are to listen to her orders and take care of her. Nothing mustcking. Consider Edna as part of your master." Mr ke continued.


    Some of the gazes of the staffs that appeared fell on my figure. Each person had a different emotion running through their pupils.


    Some people''s pupils contained indifference and the eyes of one or two were filled with irritation. I didn''t even recognize some of the emotions passing through a few eyes.


    I don''t know if I would say I am satisfied with this move Mr ke made. I am constantly suspicious. I can''t forget the fact that Madam Tayo tried to spoil my n by saying nonsense to Mr ke.


    People that had been in power are not stupid. He might be enamoured with women too much but the facts still stands.


    He was wealthy and he controls real power.


    I have to be cautious.


    This move Mr ke made had its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages weighed more than the merits in my opinion.


    On the surface, he told tmhis people to watch over me and listen to me. In reality, all the staff in this mansion were his eyes. I would be monitored. I wouldn''t be able to do anything without information to getting to Mr ke. This means I won''t be able to leave this mansion with my real face. It spoiled some of my ns.


    My brain operated at the fastest speed and new ns formed. I wasn''t going to let these obstacles stop me.


    I was forced to ster a small smile on my face though.


    The staffs Mr ke was addressing nodded and made sounds of agreement. Mr ke hummed in satisfaction.


    He turned to me, "Edna, don''t worry. I am going to make sure you enjoy your stay. I would give you an unforgettable experienceter. Now, I have to rest."


    A look of concern coated my face, "Sir, make sure you rest properly. Your body is your temple."


    Mr ke''s smile became bigger.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    He turned to James, "Take Edna and the other girls to the rooms I asked you to prepare."


    "Okay sir." James replied before turning to me.


    I walked to James.


    James began to lead the way. Madeline and the others followed.


    Nobody said anything on the way. James was like a silent shadow. I hoped with all my heart that this man wouldn''t watch me.


    If he did, my escape would be a lot harder. Madam Tayo''s anklet was still on my body. It will be hard to mobilize my powers.


    The ce James brought us to was closed off somehow. Including Madeline and Jade, seven girls came with me to Mr ke''s house.


    There was eight avable rooms. I love this. It would facilitate my new n.


    "You guys should pick any room at random." James said, "I will take my leave now."


    I smiled, "Go ahead, sir. Take care of things without harming your body."


    James left.


    Each of the girls in our group took the room they wanted. I picked a room that was closer to Madeline''s choice.


    I closed the door after I walked into the room.


    My chosen room was furnished with extravagant items. It had all the necessary facilities too. I didn''t want to sleep immediately so I sat on my bed and counted sheep.


    There has to be some kind of buffer time.


    I don''t know if Mr ke ced any monitoring eyes around me. I am not talking about the staffs I am talking about eating sentries.


    I didn''t want to think about gains and losses. My motivation would die off if I kept thinking of the possibility of failure. It was better to think of happy things.


    The most painful thing in all of these was the unfinished wedding I didn''t get to experience one of my dreams. I had already known from the get-go that Killian''s feelings for me was more than my own. I had vowed to myself to treat him better and multiply the lovely feelings I have for him.


    I cannot imagine how devastated he would be by my disappearance. I won''t lie, apart from the disgust of letting a man I didn''t approve of touch me, I wanted to make Killian my first time. I wanted to give him these gift.


    It was a pity.


    I stopped thinking about Killian. It was making me unhappy. I wanted to see him and that wish wasn''t going to be realized anytime soon.


    I estimated the time in my heart. I stood up from the bed and came out of the room. I closed the door and looked up.


    Someone was outside their door too. It was Jade. She was leaning on the doorframe.


    Her eyes settled on me, "I knew you woulde out soon. You have an ulterior motive."


    I clicked my tongue, "How do you know I have an ulterior motive? Is there a rule somewhere that mandates everyone to stay in their room till whenever?"


    "There''s no rule like that but we all know you have a reason foring out of your room. There''s no need to pretend. I know." Jadeughed.


    I didn''t bother with her anymore. This wasn''t the time to exchange words with Jade.


    I left the area our doors were in.


    As I moved away from where we were staying temporarily, I saw more staffs and servants moving about. Footsteps sounded behind me. I nced backwards. It was Jade. She was stalking me.


    What I wanted to do didn''t demand any secrecy so I let her be. I stopped the staff.


    The staff stared at the hand that held her elbow with disgust.


    The contempt in her eyes was heavy.


    Still, she did not fling my hand away or do anything out of line.


    I knew if it was up to her, she would have followed her heart''s desire. The orders and instructions from Mr ke stopped her from turning vtile.


    This kind of situation was annoying. Obviously, this staff wouldn''t do anything out of line. She will just show her dissatisfaction through subtle ways that weren''t too hidden.


    She looked down on me but there was nothing to criticize. I can''t act anyhow to a person that wasn''t originally my servants.


    Right now, I was not in a great position. I was basically a paper tiger using Mr ke''s might as a deterrence.


    ''Miss Edna, what do you need?" The servant said with gritted teeth.


    I smiled, "I want to speak to Mr ke. Can you take me to him?"


    "He is very busy. Is there something you want? I can get that thing for you." The servant said again with a hint of displeasure in her pupils.


    I ruminated for a few seconds. What I need didn''t really mandate a face to face discussion with Mr ke.


    Anyways, things would be reported to the manter. There was no need to stress my legs and force myself to stomach this servant''s behavior for a long time.


    "Okay, you are right. I shouldn''t disturb him. He must have important things to do I need a makeup kit, Mr ke has an appointment with meter and I want to beautify myself. I want to look my best." I exined.
