Translator: 549690339
Richelie Dunn didn’t leave the hotel that day. Even her dinner was ordered as takeout by Roy Lewis and Nathan Caroule before they left in the evening.
Other than focusing on her three children during their video calls, her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of the Dunns all the time.
To her, the Dunns were hell, and the mere thought of it brought her immense pain.
Over the years, she often refused to think about it.
She had died once and should cherish the present and those around her.
But whenever she woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, seeing the image of her blood-soaked hands reaching for her eldest son only to grasp at empty air, her hatred surged.
Now, her hatred finally had an outlet.
Richelle always considered herself a positive person, but the thought of the Dunns transformed her into a bloodthirsty devil.
In the past, she had to carefully suppress this devil within her. Now, she could finally let it loose!
Because of this, she was so excited that she hardly slept that night.
The next day, when Roy Lewis entered the room, he was greeted by the aroma of handmade coffee.
“Dr. Dunn?”
Roy Lewis walked over, surprised to see Richelle skillfully brewing coffee at the counter, “I thought you only drank tea?”
Richelle turned and smiled at him, “Good morning, Mr. Lewis!”
Roy was dazzled by her radiant smile, and as he regained his senses, he saw Richelle passing him a cup of coffee.
He didn’t take it, but raised his eyebrows instead.
“Didn’t you say I can’t drink it?”
Richelle handed it to him again, “This one is decaffeinated, so it’s fine.”
After Roy took the cup, she added,
“It may not be as aromatic as your specialty coffee, but it’s good enough to satisfy a craving.”
Roy sat down on a stool by the counter, placed his coat aside, and took a sip of the coffee.
Indeed, its taste was not as good as the one he usually drank, but it was much better than any coffee found in the market.
“Hmm…”, he sipped a bit more before saying, “Not bad, where did you buy it?
I’ll ask Uncle Axel to get some.”
Richelle gave a carefree shrug, “Sorry, this is my private stash, you can’t buy it anywhere else.”
Roy glanced at her, wondering if he was imagining things. Her smile seemed especially bright today, and her eyes were filled with the sparkle of the stars. Was she in an especially good mood?
Seeing her like this lifted his spirits, which weren’t particularly high to begin with.
“Personal stash? Did you make it yourself?”
Having witnessed Richelie’s many hidden talents, Roy naturally assumed that she had made the coffee herself.
In his mind, as long as Richelle wanted to do something, nothing could stop her.
Richelle flashed him a sweet smile, revealing her cute dimples.
“Mr. Lewis is so clever!”
At this point, Roy was sure that Richelie’s mood was more than just good!
As if to confirm Roy’s suspicions, Richelle casually pushed a black canister across the counter towards him.
“This is your prize for guessing correctly, Mr. Lewis!”
Roy was no fool. He rested his hand on the canister, tapping it with his long fingers. As the deep, muffled knocks resonated, his bottomless eyes gazed at her.
Then, in his low and sultry voice, he said, “Thank you!”
Richelie’s face suddenly flushed red.
Damn this man!
Flirting with her again!
“All, Mr. Lewis, suit yourself!”, she hastily stood up, grabbed her cup of coffee, and turned to flee.
As she ran, she raised her hand and waved at Roy who was behind her, “I have something to do, I’ll see you at 8:30.”
Throughout acupuncture, Richelie’s excitement hadn’t subsided. On several occasions, Roy could vaguely hear her humming a tune.
She hummed softly and gently, repeating the same melody, a nocturne that had been popular many years ago.
Roy didn’t have much of an ear for music, so even though the melody was familiar, he didn’t know its name.
Even as he slowly fell asleep, Richelle Dunn’s faint humming still lingered in his ears.
Following the pleasing melody, he gradually sank into the dreamland and once again, he dreamed of that night.
And that person from that night, as always, was Richelle Dunn.
This time, in his dream, Richelle gently kissed him, and after the kiss, his lips were filled with the fragrance of coffee.
When Roy Lewis woke up, he subconsciously smacked his lips.
Well, as expected, the rich taste of coffee still lingered in his mouth. No wonder even the kiss in his dream tasted like this…
Roy Lewis washed his face and tidied up his appearance before walking out of the living room. Richelle, who had stayed in the bedroom the entire day yesterday, was now sitting cross-legged on the sofa with an iPad.
Seeing him coming out, she smiled at him.
“Mr. Lewis, are you awake?”
Roy Lewis noticed that today, Richelle seemed to have been tickled into a perpetual smile. From the moment he entered the room till now, she had hardly stopped smiling.
Of course, it’s not to say she’s usually very serious.
Except when she’s in front of children, when she keeps smiling, she’s usually calm and composed when facing him.
“You don’t have to write your thesis today?”
Because Richelle always used this as an excuse, Roy Lewis thought she always had an unending stack of papers to write.
Richelle was taken aback for a moment but quickly reacted, “I do need to, but I’m a little tired, so I came out to catch my breath.”
As soon as Roy Lewis sat down, Richelle asked him.
“Mr. Lewis, can 1 get an advance on my salary for this month?”
Richelle leaned forward slightly, her eyes wide open, and her usually calm and serene gaze was filled with eagerness and a hint of a smile.
Roy Lewis met her smiling eyes, and although surprised, he agreed without hesitation.
“Sure!”
This time, it was Richelie’s turn to be surprised.
“All? You don’t need to think about it?”
Roy Lewis’s lips curled up slightly. Richelle could be incredibly smart at times, but sometimes, she could also be incredibly naive.
“Do you need me to think about it?”
Richelle quickly waved her hands after inadvertently setting a trap for herself.
“No, no need. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.”
Roy Lewis hummed in response, took out his phone, and tapped a few times.
Soon after, Richelie’s phone rang with the sound of incoming funds.
Richelle checked her phone and saw the money Roy Lewis had transferred to her, which was, astonishingly, US$ 1,366,811!
Richelle, surprised, looked up at Roy Lewis, about to ask him about it when she heard him say, “After-tax payment!”
Richelle blinked, and it felt strangely familiar.
Then, she quickly remembered that the payment from the previous client who completed the task was also an after-tax payment!
So, not all wealthy people are evil.
There are kind and virtuous people like her previous client and the current Roy Lewis as well!
“Thank you, Mr. Lewis. But why is it a million dollars?”
Roy Lewis offered her master US$ 6,834,000 right off the bat.
Her qualifications compared to her master are still relatively shallow. On average, she should receive about 20-30% of her master’s remuneration.
Even so, she’s the highest-paid among all her master’s apprentices.
“You were hired for the longest treatment period, which is five months. Doesn’t that average to one million dollars a month?”
Richelle wasn’t greedy. Although she loved money, she wouldn’t take a penny that didn’t belong to her.
“Mr. Lewis, the US$ 6,834,000 was my master’s fee. I’m only worth about US$ 2,050,216 at most.”
Richelle, with a serious look on her face, estimated her approximate pay based on her recent two years’ average wages.
Roy Lewis stared deeply at her, “1 believe you’re worth this US$ 6,834,000!”
