Ella's heart dropped.
Ella realized that all the convincing she did still did not amount to her freedom.
He could get her the phone but he would not let her out.
Adrian was a paranoid person and her constant efforts to escape him had only made his paranoia further severe.
If she aggravated him further, she would probably be pushed back to square one.
''I... was just asking...'' she mumbled and focused on eating.
Seeing the listlessness on her face, Adrian's face hardened. The entire air around him was suffocating.
The happiness that she radiated when she was making pancakes and watching him try it had long disappeared and even though her expressions were not of the hatred that she spared him before, it still made her feel distant to him.
There were sounds of approaching footsteps at this moment and the stiff atmosphere around the table was interrupted by Ji Yan who walked in with a few people.
''Second Master, they are here to renovate the second floor and these four people would be fixing the library...'' his curious gaze wandered off to the back of the elegant and graceful back of the lady who was sitting next to Adrian.
Considering that the only woman Adrian ever paid attention to was Ella, it made his assistant curious as to who this lady could be but then... the figure was rather familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.
''Hmm? You are fixing the library?" Ella's turned to look at the man.
Ji Yan was shell shocked, ''Miss Yu...?"
Ella frowned, ''Don't tell me you also can't recognize me anymore?"
Ji Yan smiled bitterly. He had only seen the woman dressing in clothes that barely fit her. She dressed up to nines like a superstar, leather boots and pants and all that but she struggled to breathe in them after every step she took.
Even though her face remained the same, her entire aura seemed to have changed.
The rest of the servants seemed to share the same sentiments with Ji Yan as they looked at him with a 'I get you' gaze.
Ella sighed. She merely started wearing clothes her size and her current style, ''Don't worry... if you all want to see me dressed up like a superstar, I will keep switching styles every once in a while.''
Ji Yan smiled bitterly, ''You must be kidding, Miss Yu. You look great,'' he looked at the servants who nodded eagerly.
They did not want to see a smokey eyed supermodel in barely fitting clothes walking down the staircase at the crack of the dawn. It was scary at times.
