Genius Girl

Chapter 60 - 60: Embarassment

Daniella woke up by an arm gripping on her stomach, her eyes lowered to her waist and found an arm hugging it tightly

She blinked, suddenly remembered that Evan decided to sleep and the pillow she set between them was already on the floor.

She blew out a sigh, slowly lifting his arm and set it aside.

She gently got up, took her phone on the bedside table and walked towards the couch where she put her clothes from last night.

She swiftly changed her clothes, walked out of the room like a ninja and proceeded downstairs.

Its 6am, the sun was just about to rise, downstairs, everyone was busy, the elder Su came last night unannounced.

Barefoot, Daniela stepped on the carpet of the stairs, her lips parted a bit to see the elder Su sitting on the couch, both hands on his knees massaging them a bit.

"Good Morning Mr. Su," she greeted him lively.

The old man looked at her, face dimming despite the sun's reflection through the big window.

"Ms. Chen, I didn't know you are here." He said with a bit of shock.

A wry smile pasted on Daniella's lips, walked closer to the couch awkwardly, "I visited a friend yesterday and came home late," she replied.

The elder Su nodded, "I asked Anders to move your clothes in the employee's house, you are Selena's sitter so you should sleep in the employee house."

Daniella blinked, definitely not expecting to hear it in the morning.

But she didn't mind it, she experienced worse, "No problem, so where's my new room?"

The elder Su turned to the maid serving him a new set of tea, "Show Ms. Chen her new room" he ordered coldly.

The maid nodded, turned to Daniella with a shy smile.

"This way, your luggage has been transferred."

Daniella followed her, they went to the kitchen and later used the back door to exit the villa.

There are two bungalow houses, Daniella knew that one was for the Male employees like Anders while the other was for the female maids.

As they entered, Daniella noticed the four doors inside and a small kitchen, an L-shaped couch near the window and a few furniture around.

She halted when the maid stopped in front of the closed door. The maid opened it with a key and pushed the door.

The creaking sound of the door has made Daniella wonder how old the door was, it has an old smell of wood like the tree after the rain.

The maid turned to face her, scratching her head with embarrassment.

"The elder Su requested you to move here," the maid pointed at her right, "the bathroom is there, it's always busy in the morning. We wake up at 4am to clean and prepare the breakfast but since you only have Selena, you can sleep longer," the maid explained

Daniella nodded; she doesn't need an explanation. When she first arrived, she always knows where the maids and guards are staying, though she was surprised that the elder decided to change her room.

Daniella stared at the maid; she was tense as she spoke to her.

"The room is not big so I hope it's enough," the maid gave a wry smile.

She smiled genuinely, "don't worry, as long as there are no frogs here I will be alright," she said and asked to be alone.

When the maid left, Daniella sat on the thin mattress of the bed, the metal creaked as she sat on it.

She giggled bitterly, looked up at the ceiling and found the molds around it.

She knows that the elder was doing this so she would quit, she read it in his eyes earlier but, she needs to repay Kierry's kindness by looking after Selena so no matter how bad the elder Su treats her, Daniella will stay and finish the one-year contract.

Gathering her confidence, she got up and arranged her clothes.

--

When Evan woke up, he was alone on the bed, he sat up, scanned the place but Daniella was nowhere.

He went downstairs after putting his suit on, but his eyebrows immediately creased to find his grandfather sitting on the couch, watching the morning news.

He ignored the old man and looked around; no sign of Daniella could be seen anywhere.

He saw a maid passing by, "where's Ms. Chen?" he asked.

The maid slightly smiled, "Daniella is at Selena's room right now."

Evan rose an eyebrow since he hired Daniella, all the employees have been calling her Ms. Chen and with respect.

"Why are you calling her by her name? Are you her friend?" he said coldly, throwing a piercing look at the maid.

The maid's face went pale, lips quivered as her eyes turned to the elder Su.

"What's wrong Evan?" the elder Su took his cane and got up, "she's a babysitter, an employee so everyone here should call her by her name." He said.

Evan sighed, shut his eyes for a moment and when it opened, they were dull, "what are you doing here grandpa?"

"I received a call that something happened in the office. I will need an explanation," the elder Su said.

Evan scoffed, head shaking with disbelief and started to wonder who was the snitched in his office.

But he doesn't care, so he ignored his grandfather and turned to the maid.

"Where are Ms. Chen's clothes?"

The maid tensely blinked her eyes.

"She's going to live with the maid so I had someone moved her clothes at the maid's house," it was the elder Su who answered his questions.

Evan's morning suddenly ruined upon hearing it, eyes swelling with anger glared at his grandfather.

"What are you doing? Who gave you permission to do that!" his loud voice roared in the villa, causing the employee to stop from their work and turned to look at them.

"How dare you raise your voice on me," the elder lifted his cane in the air and gestured to hit Evan but he immediately dodged it and took the cane from him.

The elder man's face reddened with anger, veins popping out in his neck as he stared at Evan.

Meanwhile, Daniella and Selena were walking along the hallway when they suddenly hear Evan's voice.

Daniella has never heard Evan yelling especially in the house, he always speaks with no emotion, just like a robot.

She looked at Selena and found the little girl looking downstairs with confusion on her face.

"What are they fighting about?" Selena asked.

One maid who happens to pass by stopped and said, "Boss Evan is angry that we moved Ms. Chen's clothes to the maid house."

Selena blew out her cheeks, wondering what's the deal with it.

Daniella is her sitter, an employee in their house and none of their employees sleeps in the guestroom so she finds it normal that her sitter would stay in the maid house.

Selena rushed downstairs, greeted her grandfather and stood next to him.

"What is wrong with you uncle Evan? Why are yelling at my grandpa?" She barked at her uncle.

Evan's nose wrinkled in annoyance, he hasn't had his coffee today and his brain wanted to explode right now.

He ignored Selena and his grandfather, turned to the maid with cold eyes, "bring Ms. Chen's clothes to my room, she will be sleeping there," he said and turned to walk upstairs.

His eyes lifted and saw Daniella standing in the middle of the stairs, one hand holding the rail and the other on her side.

"What are you doing Mr. Su? Why did you request for my clothes to be transferred to your room?"

Evan blinked, started to wonder what's with the cold treatment.

"What's wrong? You sleep there yesterday."

Daniella's lips parted in shock, eyes moved tensely and saw the other employee looking at them with surprise.

"Do you need a microphone? Megaphone or maybe a billboard to announce that I sleep in your room?" she said in an almost whisper.

She was trying to pretend cold to him, the last thing she wanted was to create a rumor between her and Evan but after he said she slept in his room last night, she suddenly felt the weight of her action last night.

(I knew it! I should have had destroyed Matthew's window and sleep in his house)

Evan face flattened, he walked closer to her and grabbed her wrist, "if you forgot, you promised yesterday that we will have a talk."

Daniella pulled her wrist, eyes lowered to the carpet on the floor, "Can we talk later? I need to bring Selena to school and meet with doctor Claire."

Concern registered in Evans face upon hearing it, "are you alright?"

Daniella nodded, "yes, so can I go now?"

"Can you sleep in my room again later?" he asked.

Daniella glared at him, "are you trying to embarrass me here? I don't want anyone to think that I am seducing my boss," she slightly wrinkled her nose as she murmured those words.

Evan moved closer to her ear, and with a low and deep voice, he whispered, "can you sleep in my room again later?"

Daniella's face flattened, she pulled her wrist from his grip and walked past him.
