Chapter 120 Benoit's Gaze on the Black Stockings
Queenie entered the student's home where the parents warmly greeted her.
After a short conversation about the student's performance at school, the interaction became somewhat awkward.
The parents' smiles appeared forced.
Queenie herself felt uneasy. She glanced at her watch, exchanged a few pleasantries, and planned to leave.
The student's parents immediately handed her two cans of tea. "Ms. Lorente..."
Queenie pushed the tea back and said, "I can't accept anything, no matter what it is."
"Teacher, this tea is grown in our own garden. It is not valuable."
Queenie politely declined, "Regardless of its value, I cannot accept it. Our school has regulations. If I receive gifts, I could be dismissed."
After the parents insisted a few times and saw Queenie's persistence, they gave up.
One home visit followed another.
Many families had been visited, and the situations were more or less the same. As they approached the last household, Queenie felt a bit tired and leaned against the car window, regretfully saying to Kate, "Your high-tech gadgets didn't come in handy. What a shame!"
Kate thought to herself, "We weren't really on a mission, so what could have happened?!"
"I thought Lilith was up to something again! It seems like I was too nervous," Kate said, feeling a bit stunned.
"Hmm," Queenie forced a smile, "Alright, after we’re done with this last house, today's mission will be considered complete, and you can go back and rest."
After saying that, Queenie carried her bag and walked into Nathan's villa.
As soon as they entered, Nathan's mother warmly greeted them.
"Ms. Lorente, welcome, welcome. I have prepared some cherries and fruit tea for you, Ms. Lorente."
"You don't have to be so polite," Queenie followed Nathan's mother into the living room.
After chatting for a while, Melissa took the initiative to speak. "Ms. Lorente, I heard that you like keeping dogs?"
"Yes. I like dogs very much," Queenie replied with a smile.
"Then let Nathan take you to see them quickly. We have several pet dogs at home, including Golden Retrievers, Shiba Inus, Poodles... mainly because Nathan likes them. His dad even set up a room just for him to keep them."
As she said that, Melissa got up and called the children to take their teacher to the dog house.
As soon as they left, Melissa's expression darkened.
Queenie had always loved dogs since she was a child, and now she couldn't resist playing with the fluffy little pups.
After playing for a while, an affectionate little Teddy became even more intimate with Queenie, jumping and pawing at her legs, asking to be held.
The tiny paws of the Teddy had accidentally opened a large hole in Queenie's flesh-colored stockings.
Melissa happened to walk over and see it. "Oh my, Ms. Lorente, I'm sorry. Our little Teddy ruined your stockings. Come with me. I have new stockings in my closet, I'll get them for you to change."
Originally, Queenie intended to refuse, but after seeing the large hole in her stockings, she reluctantly agreed.
Melissa led Queenie towards the master bedroom.
Queenie stopped at the door of the room and politely said, "Melissa, I can wait here for you."
After all, it was not quite appropriate to go to someone's master bedroom when visiting for the first time.
Melissa warmly insisted, "It's fine, my husband is not here. Come inside with me, and you can change here."
"No need, I'll just change in the bathroom," Queenie firmly refused.
Unable to persuade Queenie, Melissa could only take out a new pair of black stockings from the wardrobe and hand them to her.
After changing into the new stockings, Queenie took out her phone and politely asked, "Melissa, how much do these stockings cost? I can transfer the money.”
"Here you go."
"No need! How much money can a pair of stockings get you! Ms. Lorente, just go ahead and wear them," Melissa said generously.
"No, this is your thing, I have to pay for it."
"No need, no need. Ms. Lorente, consider these stockings as my compensation to you. After all, it was our Teddy who damaged them."
Melissa refused to accept any money, so Queenie had no choice but to give up.
As they returned to Bund Bay and stepped into the apartment, Queenie saw Benoit sitting in the living room, waiting for her.
"Back already? Queenie, you've worked hard," he said before his gaze fell on her long legs in black stockings, causing his eyes to widen.
