Chapter 749 Let Her Stay
However, in front of Jara, she was at a loss for words.
In the end, she could only stamp her foot and scream in anger, "I hate you, you heartless jerk!"
After that, she ran toward the door while covering her head.
Her retreating figure could be seen storming out the door and ran into the corridor.
Once she was gone from Jara's sight, the smirk on his face gradually faded away, and he became indifferent.
Meanwhile, Uncle Poick, who was waiting outside, came in after he saw Kayla leave.
Seeing Jara sitting on the sofa, he respectfully stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Holland, Miss Burke..."
"She said that she would devote herself to me," Jara uttered faintly. With his eyes lowered, he was playing with the ring worn on his finger.
Hearing that, Uncle Poick didn't know what to say.
If he heard these words before what happened just now, he would have been thrilled.
After all, Jara was already 30 years old this year!
Despite his age, he never had a woman by his side. Thus, it was hard for Uncle Poick to believe that he was straight.
Now, there was finally a woman who was willing to devote herself to him. Even if they had no future, at least her existence could prove that Jara had attractiveness.
Even so, Uncle Poick had seen through Kayla's character from the incident just now, so he changed his perspective.
Not only was she rude, but she had also judge people based on their status. Besides, she might be approaching Jara with ulterior motives.
In any case, Jara had saved her from living hell, but instead of being grateful, she intended to make use of him.
Why should they let such a vicious woman stay?
Hence, Uncle Poick asked, "Mr. Holland, are you planning to keep her?"
He asked in a serious tone.
Upon hearing that, Jara lifted his eyes and glanced at Uncle Poick.
Even though his eyes were smiling faintly, there was sarcasm in them.
"Are my taste that bad?"
As soon as Uncle Poick heard this, his heart finally felt at ease.
Then, with a smile, he responded, "Of course not, Mr. Holland. Obviously, Miss Burke was trying to flatter you, but she misjudged you."
To that, Jara nodded and ordered, "Tomorrow, you don't have to ask someone to send her back anymore. Instead, hire someone capable to take care of her."
Upon hearing that, Uncle Poick was stunned and confused.
What... what did Jara mean?
Confused, he asked, "Didn't you just say... Are you planning to keep her?"
Jara scoffed, "Yes, that's right. Since she offered herself and tried all sorts of means to stay, shouldn't I grant her wish?"
Uncle Poick was slightly displeased, and he frowned. "Mr. Holland, I know I shouldn't say this, but Miss Burke is not a good person..."
Hearing that, Jara glanced at him. "What are you thinking?"
At once, Uncle Poick was startled.
Then, Jara added, "Although she is not my cup of tea, she's right about something."
For a split second, Uncle Poick was somewhat at a loss.
"I've saved her life, so she should repay me. Of course, I am not referring to marriage, but if she could please someone else for me, that would be great, right?" Jara continued.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Poick was shocked.
And his face changed slightly.
Nevertheless, he did not say anything. Instead, he lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
Only then, Jara waved him off.
On the other side, as Kayla had failed miserably, she was currently in a rage and had nowhere to vent her anger.
Suddenly, she saw a stunning maid coming toward her.
Seeing that, she froze for a moment before she heard a knock on the door from outside. It was then that she realized that the maid was actually looking for her.
Just now, she thought that the maid just happened to pass by.
However, it didn't occur to her that the maid was here to see her.
Outside the door, the maid said in a respectful and polite voice, "Miss Burke, are you in?"
Suddenly, Kayla became nervous.
"Who is she?"
"What is she doing here?"
"Is she here to drive me away?" Kayla couldn't help but wonder.
Right away, Kayla was reminded of Jara's cold and ruthless appearance from just now, and her heart was beating like a drum. The beating became faster and faster as if her heart had gone up to her throat.
At that moment, the maid was still knocking on the door, and Kayla couldn't keep pretending that she couldn't hear it.
So, in the end, she could only force herself to calm down. "No matter what happens, I can't be thrown out today," she thought.
She was definitely going to stay here regardless of anything.
With these thoughts in mind, she cleared her throat and walked over to open the door.
After she opened the door, she saw a maid who was about 18 or 19 years old standing outside.
The maid looked pretty. Although Kayla was prettier, the maid was still considered a humble, beautiful girl.
With a smile, the maid introduced herself, "Hi, Miss Burke, I am Millay. Uncle Poick sent me here to take care of you. So, from now on, I'll be following you."
After hearing what she said, Kayla was stunned.
At the same time, she was a little confused too.
Uncle Poick sent Millay to take care of her?
And Millay would be following her from now on?
What did that mean?
Wasn't she supposed to be chased out? Jara not only didn't agree to her request, he even humiliated her.
Why did he... send someone to take care of her?
Before Kayla could figure it out, Millay spoke.
"Miss Burke, do these clothes need to be washed? I'll bring them to the laundry room right away."
As she spoke, she entered, picked up Kayla's laundry, then walked out.
Soon, Kayla's face changed as she regained her senses. Right away, she stopped Millay.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Upon hearing that, Millay halted and turned to her.
Then, she quickly hid her expression and asked, "Did they... really sent you here to take care of me?"
To that, Millay nodded. "Yes, Miss Burke. Is there anything I can help?"
When Kayla heard Millay's answer, her heart began pounding. Then, she turned her eyes a few times before asking again, "Did they mention that I'm leaving soon?"
After hearing Kayla's question, Millay went blank.
"Well... No... Miss Burke, are you leaving?"
Kayla paused. After a while, she quickly shook her head.
"No." She forced a smile and muttered, "I'm just asking. Alright, that's all. You can leave now."
Millay responded with a nod.
After Millay left, Kayla's face sank. No matter how carefully she thought about it, she still couldn't figure out anything.
Just then, she saw Uncle Poick walk past her.
Hurriedly, she went out and ran for a distance before she managed to catch up with him.
"Uncle Poick!"
While she was running, she shouted.
Upon hearing the voice, Uncle Poick turned around. Once he saw that it was Kayla, his brows furrowed.
Naturally, Kayla saw his reaction. In fact, she was well aware that her previous actions had offended him.
