As Libby listened to James’s explanation, she was surprised. She stared at him in a daze.
In the past, James never said anything that was unnecessary to her. Now, for Kara, not only did he thank her, he said the same thing, like asking her to take care of Kara over and over again.
Looking at the naive Kara, she couldn’t help but think that this silly girl was blessed.
Kara was unhappy when he heard his words.
“James, don’t slander me. I didn’t make Libby worry. I am very obedient.”
James glanced at her indifferently. He covered her eyes with his big hand and sneered.
“You are the one who lies with your eyes open. You are still obedient. That is the funniest joke I have ever heard!”
Kara felt guilty for a few seconds. She puffed her cheeks, shook off his big hand, and mischievously snuggled in his arms.
“Don’t act like a spoiled child. Sit properly!”
Seeing that she was acting like a spoiled child again, James threw her onto the sofa like a parent teaching a child a lesson.
Kara pouted, but she did not refute him. She sat down obediently and muttered softly,
“James, don’t yell at me. If you scare me, I won’t be good.”
James was speechless.
The corners of his mouth twitched. If she was so easily scared, she would not have said that out aloud.
“Go get the nail clipper!”
“What are you doing?”
Kara was puzzled, but she still went to find the nail clipper and handed it to him.
James took the nail clipper and held her little hand to trim her nails.
Kara wanted to avoid the clipper, but she was afraid that if she moved, the clipper would cut her flesh, so she could only stare at him with her pitiful eyes.
James man lowered his eyes as he trimmed her nails. His handsome face looked serious, and each of his movements was very gentle.
Kara sat up straight and admired his handsome face. She touched his tall nose with her other hand.
“James, are you a mixed-blood?”
Otherwise, why did he get such a high nose?
James shook her hand away because it had blocked his sight. “You can’t get such a handsome nose even if you are jealous. Do you think you can become more beautiful by touching my nose?”
Kara stared at the ceiling with his big eyes. This man was too narcissistic, and he really wanted to bite him to rip that nose off!
As she lowered her head, a crafty look flashed across her big eyes.
When he finished trimming her nails, she took the nail clipper and helped him trim his nails.
James would usually do it by himself, and he knew how he wanted his nails to look. However, looking at her expectant face, he nodded and let her do it for him.
“James, I will definitely trim your nails properly.”
She looked so confident.
What was so difficult about trimming nails? Just cut them with the clipper. She usually timed her own nails herself.
Maybe it was because his nails were a little hard, after she trimmed several nails, she felt that it was not as easy as it seemed. She stole a glance at the man guiltily.
He received a text message from his phone. He didn’t check how she was doing with his nails. He only looked at his fingers when he noticed her strange glance at him.
The corner of his mouth twitched. “Little fool, did you trim my nails with your teeth?”
“Sorry, they don’t look good.” Kara put down the nail clipper and wanted to run.
“Come back here. You must finish what you have started!”
Kara covered her face.
She did not have the courage to continue it.
“Be good, finish your task,” James persuaded.
Kara gave him a questioning look before holding his fingers again. Then he began trimming the remaining nails.
After she finished trimming them, James threw his phone to the side and took out a nail polish tool. His nails were uneven and he patiently polished them.
Kara stared at his movements and found that after he polished them, his nails looked better.
It was as if he had done magic. Anything that went through his hands would become different.
She stared at him with admiration, her big eyes sparkling.
“Wow, my boyfriend is perfect. Not only can he fold his shirt perfectly, but he could as do the nails so well.”
“Who is your boyfriend?”
James turned around and glanced at her. He took her fingers and prepared to polish the nails for her. He then asked Libby to fetch the nail care product for him.
My boyfriend is tall and handsome. Most importantly, he is very kind. I won’t tell you who he is. If you take a fancy to him and take him away for me, that will be bad.”
“Really? Didn’t you just say that he yelled at you and bullied you?”
James retorted with what she had just said.
“That’s a normal thing between lovers. You know, that’s a way for us to show our love to each other. He yelled at me, and I yelled back. We’re even.”
Kara tilted his little head and flashed an innocent smile, making her look kind and adorable.
“A way of showing love?” James raised his eyebrows.
“Okay, just take it as I didn’t say anything. The person who spoke to you just now was someone else. It was very likely that he was secretly in love with you. It has nothing to do with me.”
This girl was deceiving herself.
What a little fool!
James was so angry that he laughed when he saw her looking up at the ceiling as if he was talking to air.
After he polished her nails, he even applied the nail oil on her fingers, and she had also applied it on his fingers.
Kara didn’t know that nails still needed to be carefully cared for before, and she usually didn’t apply nail polish, so she had never used nail oil.
When she applied nail oil to his fingers, she couldn’t apply it evenly and some nail oil dropped on her own hand.
‘I am so stupid.’ Kara couldn’t help but scold herself inside.
Fortunately, James didn’t mind. He washed the nail polish she had applied on him and asked her to apply it again. He took out his phone to read the emails and replied to the messages in a rather relaxed way.
With the experience she gained from the previous failures, Kara learned some rules.
She stared at his nails seriously. After she was done, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking at her work, she felt a great sense of accomplishment. She excitedly took out her phone to take a few photos and posted them on her social media account.
Libby walked into the living room. Seeing that the two of them were happily playing with their nails, she smiled and reminded them that lunch was ready.
“Libby, thanks. You should go and rest,” Kara said with a smile.
“Miss Kara, don’t be so polite to me. This is my job.” Libby was a little embarrassed when she heard Kara’s words.
“Libby, from this month onwards, your monthly salary will be raised by 5, 000 yuan.”
“What?”
It came too suddenly. Libby couldn’t react for the moment. She stared at James with her eyes wide open, worried that it was her hallucination.
“Libby, James is in a good mood. He wants to give you a raise. You don’t have to be so polite. Just make more delicious food in the future.”
Libby was overjoyed. She held the trim of her apron and her face wrinkled in a grin.
“Thank you, Mr. James. Thank you, Miss Kara.”
Libby served the dishes and told herself that she would serve Kara wholeheartedly.
She could tell that as long as Kara was happy, her job was secured.
In the past, when she was in the villa, her job was to prepare meals and clean the villa. However, at that time, James was busy with work and it was rare for him to stay in the villa.
When he stayed in the villa, she was also scared when she worked. She was afraid that if she did something wrong and made him lose his temper, she would lose her job.
At this time, Mason came to the living room with a small basket and he reported respectfully,
“Mr. James, I’ve prepared everything you need.”
“Okay, put it away. Tomorrow, you can have a day off.”
“This…”
Mason thought of the car accident a few days ago and was a little worried.
“Mr. James, I’d better drive the car and follow behind you wherever you do.”
James looked up at him with a calm expression.
“Mason, the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Won’t you celebrate it?”
“No. I live alone and have no one to celebrate the festival with. It’s better for me to follow behind you and protect you. I will feel more at ease that way.”
When Kara heard Mason’s words, she felt a little sad in her heart. He shook James’s big hand and wanted to say something.
