His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 128: Did Snow White Visit? 

After hearing what Sarah said, Melody slowly raised her head and looked up.

On her usual indifferent cold face, her eyes lightly swept across Sarah's face.

"You're not fat.You can still eat more!"

As a beauty blogger, Sarah paid a lot of attention to her maintenance.

She was unlike Melody who had a great advantage of eating whatever she wanted but could still maintain her face with minimum effort.

But the condition of the skin she acquired from her parents required careful maintenance.

Because Sarah was self-aware and had different standards for herself, Melody's praise did not have any effect at all. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Mellie, you don't know how unfriendly the entertainment industry is.My weight might be about the same as yours but my face is bigger than yours.I have to lose more weight so that I will look good in front of the camera.If only I can have your face, I won't have to worry like this."

Melody’s face was truly amazing.

No wonder Tyrone would not give up on dragging her to the entertainment industry all day long.

‘A beauty that could stun the whole world!’ Using all these words to describe Melody was perfectly fitting.

As Melody quietly ate, she was sizing up Sarah.

Before, she had assumed that Sarah squandered all the money she had earned for herself.

Melody also knew that Sarah was not the kind of person who knew how to save money based on how Sarah had bought things for her.

Later on, she discovered that Sarah was not generous to herself.

She was only generous to people around her.

It included her, the younger sister who she had never seen or even talked to for more than ten years! To earn money, Sarah had suffered a lot so Melody didn't understand her way of thinking.

Was it worth it? Even after they had left the restaurant and arrived at Sarah's home, Melody still did not have an answer to the question that was puzzling her.

She decided to find time to talk about it with Luke.Her thoughts were suddenly pulled back by Sarah's scream.

"Oh my god..."

Sarah was shocked by the scene in front of her and could not help but exclaim.

Subconsciously, Sarah walked out again to check the house number again.

It was the same and the key worked, no doubt that it was her home.

She looked at Melody in amazement.

"Mellie, say, do you think Snow White accidentally visited our house, and she thought that it was too dirty, so she voluntarily cleaned it before leaving?"

Melody glanced at her with a faint look of disdain in her eyes, "Fairy tales for kids.How old are you now? But if you insist on calling the hired cleaner as Snow White, I don't have a problem with it"

Sarah was so impressed by Melody's power.

It wasn't like she had not hired a cleaner before, but even after cleaning, the house was still quite messy or dirty, so it really annoyed her.

In the end, she simply did not hire anyone anymore and did everything herself.

So the cleaner that Melody "hired" pleasantly surprised her.

Sarah hurriedly rushed towards her little sister.

"Mellie, where did you find the cleaner? Give me her contact information and I will look for her next time’ Melody feigned ignorance.

"I don't know.It was my friend who looked for the cleaner"

After that, Sarah saw a piece of paper that was left on the table.

She thought that it was left by the cleaner and immediately became excited.

"Is that the bill? I'll check it myself"

Thinking of that, she picked up the bill and checked the numbers.

When her mind processed what she saw, she almost fainted.

"Oh my god, Lil Melody.Are you sure it's really a thousand dollars? Not in the hundreds?"

Melody casually took a sip of water, unbothered by Sarah's hysteria.

She lightly replied, "It is what it is"

Sarah originally planned to regularly hire this cleaner but it seemed like she could not afford it.

"Mellie, how come you spent so much on cleaning? It was too expensive.Did someone scam you? Give me your friend's phone number so I can call the cleaning company to ask"

Melody didn't hesitate.

Since Sarah wanted it, she would immediately give the number to her.She looked for Luke’s number in her contacts and then passed it to Sarah.

Sarah glanced at the called ID and pressed the call button.She had already thought of a set of excuses and responses so she could successfully debate in Melody's stead.

In Sarah's opinion, Melody should freely spend the money she had transferred to Melody's card.

The money she gave to Melody was Melody's money so she would not care how Melody used it.

But just because she did not care how Melody spent it does not mean that she would allow Melody to get scammed.

After the call connected, a young and tender voice came from the phone, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Hello, this is Sarah."

She purposely used a friendly formal tone for talking to strangers.

When Luke heard Sarah's introduction, he was stunned for a moment.

He anxiously asked, "Why are you holding my boss' phone? Is there something wrong with her?"

Hearing his questions, Sarah immediately became nervous too.

She quickly explained, "No, I just want to ask you about the cleaning fee.Do you think..."

Before she could even finish her words, Luke cut her off.

"Cleaning? Are you satisfied?"

"Absolutely!"

It would be a lie if she said she was not satisfied.

As soon as she responded, Luke immediately continued, "It's good if you're satisfied.Next week, I will send another cleaner to your apartment to clean your home for you."

Luke found out that Melody had been staying in Sarah's house for a while.

To make sure that his Boss’ stay was as comfortable as possible, Luke arranged everything he could think of.

Melody should not feel any discomfort after his arrangements.

Sarah reflexively raised her voice as she asked incredulously, "Once a week?"

A thousand dollars each cleaning.

There are four or five weeks in a month...Won't it cost her five to six grand monthly? How could she even afford it?

"No, no.That's not necessary.Luke, we don't have that much money! Once a month is still possible and hopefully, you can help us by giving a discount."

At this point, her calm tone from the start was replaced by panic.

Sarah knew that it was Melody who called and asked for a cleaner.

But she said that she did not have the cleaning company's number and assumed that her friend was the cleaning company's boss.

That was why she directly asked for a discount.

On the other side of the line, Luke was stunned after hearing Sarah's words.

"Discount? That's not necessary.I'll handle it.Do I send a cleaner once a month or maybe twice?"

No discount? Sarah recalled the words ‘I'll handle it”

It finally sank in.

She confusedly asked, "Are you saying that I don't have to pay?"

"Of course!"

For a trivial matter like cleaning, would his Boss still need to pay? He could just directly send a cleaning team from the company.

It could also save him from trouble by using his company's cleaners.

His company's cleaning crew had to be screened multiple times before they were hired.

They were the cream of the crop and they could meet his Boss' preferences.

Luke would not be assured if it was others doing it.

"Then what about the bill?" Sarah asked carefully.

"Oh, the bill? That's just for the company's accounting.You don't have to bother with it.Just throw it away."

Hearing the other party's indifferent tone, Sarah did not want to talk to him anymore.She decided to hang up the phone as soon as possible.

After the call ended, Sarah approached Melody, looking surprised.

"Mellie, are you particularly close with that friend of yours?"

To Melody, Luke was like an apprentice and a younger brother to her.

They were indeed closer to each other than the average friends, so the answer to Sarah's question was yes.

Melody nodded.

Seeing Melody's response, Sarah couldn't help but ask more.

"Have you been friends with each other for a long time? Is he also pretty rich?"

Melody had known Luke for a long time and they somewhat grew up together.

Luke was also in charge of a bunch of major departments in the company and most of her businesses were handled by Luke.He should be collecting a lot of dividends annually.

Even if it was not as big as hers, for ordinary people, he should be considered quite rich.

Melody nodded again.

A high-end professional cleaning team that he could casually call over as he pleased and basically an allowance of couple thousand per month that he casually spent on his friends.

The boy he talked to earlier was very rich.

Sarah was sure of it.

"Mellie, did you meet this friend of yours from the countryside?" Melody hummed questioningly.

She noticed that Sarah was asking too many questions and could not help but ask, "Is there a problem?"

Sarah laughed, "No problem.I just feel that your village in the countryside is quite good.I also want to live there and make more friends!"

Melody was speechless.
