When Lilian saw Parish's flawless smile and compared it to the chilling murderous intent on the face of the demon possessing him, she felt her whole body stiffen and quickly lowered her head.
Rock Johnson interpreted this as Lilian being shy.
He was already thinking about how he would t*****e her properly once she agreed.
Lilian lowered her head, avoiding looking at the devil's face, and her courage returned. She said softly, "No, Master Parish, I'm just here to look for a job... I want to go to the kitchen."
Yesterday, she was terrified by the demon she suddenly saw. Now, when she encounters it again, the fear in her heart is still there, but she is not as scared as yesterday. Therefore, she can spare a little rationality to think about and judge the demon's behavior - she feels that his acting is terrible.
Yesterday he said he felt sorry for her injury and wanted to take care of her, but he only talked about "proposing" and didn't do anything. Today he said he fell in love with her at first sight, but yesterday he didn't even ask her name. Look at him now, he can't even remember her name!
Even if the demon hidden inside Parish's body couldn't be seen, a normal girl wouldn't be fooled by his clumsy acting.
Rock Johnson was slightly surprised by Lilian 's answer , but not as astonished as he had been the day before.
A woman with deep cunning would not give in so easily.
He invoked Parish's memories, a look of disappointment on his face, and looked at her sadly, saying, "Beautiful girl, would you rather work in the kitchen than marry me and become my wife?"
Lilian didn't look at "Parish," but she thought his words were really pretentious, and she imagined that his expression at that moment was just as exaggerated.
"I'm so sorry." Lilian's refusal showed no hesitation.
Then Parish sighed and said to the coachman Shane, "Tell the kitchen to keep my beautiful girl."
Shane quickly replied, "Yes, young master!"
Although he found it unbelievable that the girl had rejected the young master once again, he knew very well that he had not made a mistake in bringing her to the young master.
Lilian away after she thanked him . Rock Johnson watched Lilian's suddenly lighter steps, suppressed Parish's memory, and his face darkened.
She seemed genuinely happy to be able to work in the kitchen... Clearly, she was happy to be able to stay and have a reason to be close to him.
He wanted to see what she planned to do next.
The more tricks she plays and the longer she drags things out, the more he will "repay" her in the future. Heh, I hope she doesn't regret it later.
On the way to the kitchen, Shane couldn't help but remind Lilian : "Noble lords have limited patience. While young master Parish still likes you, you should try to please him. You might get unexpected benefits!"
In Shane's view, the matter was quite simple. Yesterday, this girl caught Young Master Parish's attention, and for some reason, he was captivated by her and said he wanted to marry her. But she certainly thought that since he was so easily obtained, Young Master Parish wouldn't cherish her, so she deliberately refused.
But to her surprise, the young master didn't insist and didn't come to see her the next day. She panicked and rushed over immediately. Seeing that the young master was still very affectionate towards her, she felt relieved and deliberately refused.
Although the young master's proposal was certainly not sincere, even becoming his mistress would free her from her current impoverished life. She shouldn't be so greedy! Did she really think that by making the young master truly fall in love with her, she could become the future mistress of the Earl's mansion? She was just a commoner; a nobleman as esteemed as Young Master Parrish would never marry her!
That's not liking, that's craving my soul!
Lilian muttered to herself, smiled, and said, "Thank you, Brother Shane. I know what to do."
Anyway, he wouldn't believe her if she said she had no feelings for the current "Young Master Parish," so she might as well just give him a perfunctory answer.
Shane knew that Lilian hadn't listened to him and would likely not have a good ending, but he still said, "If you benefit from this in the future, don't forget me. I'm the one who brought you in."
"Don't worry, Brother Shane, I won't forget it," Lilian replied. Shane had indeed helped her, and she would repay him if she became successful in the future.
Of course, the one who helped her the most this time was that demon.
Lilian 's heart had been pounding faster when she heard the demon's instructions to Shane.
Although she knew that the demon had no good intentions in keeping her here, she figured she couldn't escape anyway, so why not try to think positively?
For example, she finally got a job with a high salary and high status; or she took Lily's job, Lily would probably be furious, right? Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Although she was still afraid of that devil, she could tell that he had to follow certain rules in his actions, and she guessed that as long as she didn't agree to his "marriage proposal," which he always mentioned every time they met, she would be fine.
Upon arriving at the Earl's kitchen, Shane did not leave immediately; he still had a task assigned to him by Young Master Parish!
The kitchen was bustling with activity because they were hiring. Not only Lily's aunt had heard the news, but other relatives who were suitable were also recommended.
At this moment, there were five girls in the kitchen who were obviously new. They lined up and looked at a plump middle-aged woman who was obviously in charge with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
This middle-aged woman's figure is rarely seen in the outside world. Ordinary people would have a hard time surviving, let alone being able to eat their way to such a plump figure.
