Chapter 16 She Didn't Want to Give You

The next day.

Breakfast time.

Julissa made an extra bowl of fruit porridge today.

Mr. Lloyd had his meals and daily clothes prepared by professionals the day before, and Julissa was the one in charge of the execution.

"You'll be in a better mood if changing the dishes occasionally."

"Please enjoy your meal, Mr. Lloyd."

Julissa stood by the side. There was fruit porridge on the dazzling and delicious dining table. Not only was the color eye-catching, but it was also appetizing. It was like a rich person who was fed up with delicacies suddenly seeing a plate of vegetables. He had to admit that she was very thoughtful.

Mr. Lloyd said in a faint voice. He was not unhappy at all when Julissa took the herbal tea instead of his coffee. On the contrary, there was joy on his face.

Anna was sitting opposite. Her exquisite makeup could not make up for the displeasure on her face. She said in a sarcastic tone, "D, your maid, Julissa, is not only beautiful but also very thoughtful. I'm so envious!"

Julissa frowned.

She could hear the sarcasm in her words. She was probably telling Mr. Lloyd that she was so considerate and had ulterior motives!

Mr. Lloyd did not answer. He scooped up a spoonful of fruit porridge and put it into his mouth. The sweet and greasy taste immediately whetted his appetite. Anna was asking to be snubbed, but she had to maintain her noble status as Mrs. Lloyd.

Julissa saw that Mr. Lloyd had finished eating a bowl of fruit porridge and was handing over a wet tissue to wipe his mouth. He commented like a candidate. Although Julissa was confident in her cooking skills, she was afraid that it would be counterproductive if she was not careful. After all, he was the most powerful man in the country.

Mr. Lloyd wiped his lips and said, "There are five kinds of fruits."

"Yes, they're all your favorites. I boil juice in a big fire and boil it for 40 minutes." Mr. Lloyd didn't like sugar, so Julissa could only cook it slowly if she wanted it to taste natural. It would take a long time and the process would be more complicated, but Julissa was very happy.

"Thank you." The man's obsidian-like eyes flashed with praise.

Julissa said, "It's my duty to make you happy. Do you want some more?"

Mr. Lloyd was extremely self-disciplined in his diet, fitness, and work. He would never covet another bowl of food just because it was new and delicious. It was also because of this that Julissa had more confidence in winning his trust.

The man got up and refused her with his actions. Anna didn't understand what was so great about a cup of herbal tea and fruit porridge that Mr. Lloyd made an exception for Julissa once or twice!

Anna handed the bowl to Julissa and ordered, "Bring me some!"

She wanted to see what Julissa had done to Mr. Lloyd. Anna smiled slightly and was about to put a suit jacket on Mr. Lloyd. She said, "Mrs. Parker is holding a violin concert at the opera court tonight. She invited me to attend. Can you take time off tonight?"

In the upper-class social interactions, women were at various flower tea parties. It seemed that they were busy with their own things, but everyone was clear that women socialized for their husband, especially who bring their husbands forward.

Anna wanted Mr. Lloyd to accompany her. No matter how beautiful and considerate Julissa was, she was just a humble servant. She wanted to show her that Anna was Mrs. Lloyd!

"Have a good time, Edwin. Prepare the car." Mr. Lloyd refused Anna, who widened her eyes and swallowed a lot of coquettish words.

Watching the whole process, Julissa pretended to be deaf and said, "It's ready, Mrs. Lloyd. Enjoy it."

Anna immediately lost her temper. "Take away!"

She walked upstairs in her high heels. Julissa smiled slightly. "Well, I don't want to give it to you!"
