Chapter 750 Succumbs to Her Conscience
In Kayla's opinion, Uncle Poick was just a butler. To put it bluntly, he was just a high-ranking servant. So, she thought even if he was offended, she didn't have to worry about it.
However, she had no idea that Uncle Poick was not merely a butler in this castle.
He was also Jara's only family member, relative, senior, and even... benefactor.
Therefore, he owned an extremely high position in the castle and a special place in Jara's heart.
When Kayla was daring enough to offend Uncle Poick, she must have never thought of how miserable her life would be in the future.
Even so, Uncle Poick was a man of dignity and integrity.
So, despite hating Kayla, he still maintained a distant and polite expression. "Miss Burke, what can I do for you?"
Looking at him, Kayla was a little embarrassed.
After all, she had just disrespected him, so she didn't think it was appropriate to ask him a favor.
Nevertheless, she had no other way.
Just now, when she went to find Jara, she didn't leave a way out for herself because she did it out of her desperate attempt to succeed.
She thought that as long as she could get on Jara's good side and become his woman, Uncle Poick wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
And she didn't have to respect a mere butler like him.
Therefore, she was rude to Uncle Poick.
However, it didn't occur to her that Jara wouldn't be seduced. In the end, she even left the study in a dejected manner.
After this incident, she didn't dare to offend any servant in the castle anymore, let alone Uncle Poick.
Hence, at this time, she could only smile at Uncle Poick and apologize, "I'm sorry, Uncle Poick. Just now... I was rude out of anxiousness, but I didn't mean it. You... aren't mad at me, right?"
After she finished speaking, she carefully observed his facial expression.
Even so, Uncle Poick was the legitimate elite butler from Eflor that had received formal training.
It was his basic skill to hide his emotions.
Therefore, even after observing him for a long time, Kayla still could not tell whether he was really angry or not.
Instead, he looked at her indifferently and responded, "You must be joking, Miss Burke. How can a butler be mad at his guest? Besides, I'm just obeying Mr. Holland's instructions and following the rules, but since he didn't say anything, I won't have any objections either."
When Kayla heard what he said, she was secretly relieved.
Immediately, she put on a flattering smile and replied, "Good to hear that. Just now, a maid named Millay came to me and told me that you sent her here to take care of me. Is... is it true?"
"Yes." Uncle Poick's expression was still as calm as ever.
Upon hearing that, Kayla could feel a sense of hope, and her eyes lit up. "Who was the one who decided on this? You or Mr. Holland?"
The corners of Uncle Poick's mouth raised.
"Mr. Holland is the owner of this castle and also the salary provider of all the servants here. So, this order was naturally given by him."
When Kayla heard that, her eyes glimmered.
Then, she blurted out, "So, that means he is willing to let me stay?"
The moment Uncle Poick saw her unconcealed joy, his gaze became a little complicated.
What a naïve girl.
All she knew was to take advantage of others. However, she didn't know that one day, she would be paying for it.
To put it simply, she would have to reap what she sowed.
However, Uncle Poick didn't bother to advise her. Instead, he muttered, "Since you doesn't want to leave, Mr. Holland has decided to let you stay."
Then, he raised his hand to look at the time on his wristwatch and continued, "If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave. Mr. Holland is still waiting for me."
When she heard that it was about Jara, she quickly nodded as she didn't dare to delay Uncle Poick's time.
"Sure, go ahead. I'm fine now."
Only then did Uncle Poick nod, turn around, and leave.
After he left, Kayla returned to her room.
At that moment, she was over the moon.
Initially, she thought that after being rejected by Jara, she would lose all her face, and there would be no more chances for her to stay.
However, they didn't drive her away. Instead, they let her stay and assigned someone to take care of her.
What the hell was going on?
Did Jara succumb to his conscience and was willing to accept her?
Thinking about that, Kayla was even more excited.
Then, she turned to look out of the window and saw that it was already dark outside.
Soon, the lights lit, and the whole castle brightened up magnificently like a fairyland on earth.
At the same time, her desires and expectations had shone along with the lights and instantly filled her entire chest.
Overjoyed, she raised the corner of her mouth and laughed.
Jara Holland...
With her red lips, she gently blurted out his name, feeling sweet.
......
At this moment, Jara had no idea that because of his random decision, Kayla had already completely misunderstood him and started to like him.
After he finished his work, he looked at the time. It was already 10 p.m.
In the meantime, the entire castle was brightly lit. Jara stood up and relaxed his muscles while walking towards the floor-to-ceiling window. When he saw the bustling lights outside, his eyes darkened.
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Then, Jara shouted in a deep voice, "Come in!"
At once, the door opened. Uncle Poick came in with a tray and put it in front of Jara. On the tray, there were red pills and a glass of water.
"Mr. Holland, your medicine is here."
To that, Jara nodded.
Without looking at those pills, he took them. Then, he swallowed them by having some water.
Once he was done, Uncle Poick took the glass from him. Later, while looking at the scenery outside the window, Jara asked, "What is the date tomorrow?"
Hearing that question, Uncle Poick was startled.
Nonetheless, he slightly lowered his eyebrows and answered, "Tomorrow will be the 23rd."
It was already the 23rd...
When Jara thought about that, his handsome eyebrows were slightly puckered, like the creases on the tall pine branches that were blown by the wind. He said nothing.
On the other hand, Uncle Poick quietly stood by Jara's side with his head slightly lowered.
After a long while, Jara's deep sigh broke the silence.
"I see. You can leave now!"
Upon receiving an order, Uncle Poick bowed respectfully. Then, he took the empty glass and left.
Once again, the door of the study was being shut quietly.
Jara still stood there, looking at those bright lights. Even though nothing had changed, he felt that as if his surroundings had suddenly become spacious.
After that, he opened the window and let the cool night breeze blew on his face.
Since there was a swimming pool downstairs, there seemed to be moisture in the wind. Therefore, when the wind touched his face, there was an icy sensation.
