Chapter 102 - Ch. 102 Female Assistant

Kaylee spent her free time in the penthouse by playing the baby grand piano in the living room facing the city view.

With her swollen right hand, Kaylee cannot play the piano with two hands, so she only used her left hand. The song she plays is easy enough, even a small child can play it. Nevertheless, Kaylee felt her mood improve after playing a few songs.

Declan told her that she could do anything here, and if she wanted something, Kaylee could ask Cassidy to grant her wish.

Really. Kaylee felt sure that the man had considered her as his wife who had lived here.

"Miss, the package you ordered has arrived. Do you want to open it right away?" asked Cassidy, carrying a brown package box.

Cassidy was one of Declan's assistants at the company. Kaylee had also met her when this female assistant came to campus to tell 'Nick' about the number of additional lessons that would be reduced.

Cassidy was beautiful with light golden blond hair to make Kaylee gloomy again when she faced the female assistant.

Why is Declan surrounded by so many beautiful women?

Do young entrepreneurs prefer to be accompanied by beautiful female assistants?

"What package? I didn't order any packages."

"Mister Black ordered it for you."

"Oh. Can you help me open it? I'm not sure I can open it with this hand."

"With pleasure." Cassidy sat on the sofa and placed the package box on the table.

She opened it with graceful movements without haste as if she had practiced opening things up for years without looking ugly.

Kaylee looked at the woman with a probing gaze. Perfect eyebrows, eyelashes that curl like a doll, and several reddish spots on both cheeks.

Ah, this woman is so appealing. No wonder Declan kept her as his assistant.

"Here, miss." Cassidy gave the contents of the package to Kaylee.

Upon seeing what Declan had given her, Kaylee's lips curled forward. "Why did Declan give me a new cellphone?"

Cassidy answered in a motherly voice. "Your cell phone was lost when you were kidnapped. So Mister Black bought you a new one."

Kaylee bit her lower lip nervously.

She remembered she had two phones in her backpack. One uses the name Kaylee, while the other was Roe. Now that she had lost both, she had to buy one more secretly.

For now, she would contact Wendy first regarding the situation and let her best friend handle the work until next week.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome, miss. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Kaylee was silent for a moment while thinking about what she wanted to do while staying here.

She was pretty bored if she had to stay in the house all day, but Kaylee didn't feel like she had the courage to go out. Especially not with her elephant-like hands.

However, she felt curious about something, and this was her only chance to inquire without having to confront Declan.

"Yes. I have some questions."

"Please, go ahead."

"How long have you worked with Declan?"

"It's been more than five years."

It's been more than five years—repeated Kaylee in her mind.

The conclusion is… this woman knows Declan better and understands what Declan likes more than her.

Thinking of this made Kaylee's heart filled with dark clouds.

"So… you surely know if he… I mean… before me, maybe he…." Kaylee knew what she wanted to ask, but she was confused about how to convey it. "I mean… forget it. I don't even know what I'm talking about."

Kaylee decided to give up because she was afraid to hear the answer.

"Miss Zouch, since I worked as an assistant to Mister Black, he has never had a relationship with any girl before. You are the first girl, and I believe you will be the last girl for Mister Black."

Cassidy explained it was still in the same motherly tone as if the assistant could hear her inner mind.

Kaylee was silent in shock because she didn't know what kind of response she should give after hearing this. She felt embarrassed that Cassidy understood her heart at the same time she was frustrated that someone could read her like an open book.

"And miss Zouch, if you're worried about my relationship with Mister Black, you don't have to. I'm a married woman," confessed Cassidy while showing the white gold ring on her ring finger, making Kaylee blush even more with embarrassment.

"Am I that readable?"

Cassidy chuckled in amusement. "It's not a bad thing, miss. I think it is one of your charms that Mister Black smitten by you." the female assistant did not help her relieve her embarrassment by saying that. "Do you need help with your new phone, miss?"

Kaylee looked at her cellphone then said, "No. I think I can do just fine. By the way, do you happen to know someone named Leticia Campbell?"

Cassidy was silent for a moment as if trying to remember someone.

"No, miss. Is there anything that happens with this person?"

"Nothing particular. Thanks for the help. "

Cassidy gave a slight bow, then turned to provide Kaylee with some privacy. Her steps stopped when Kaylee called her back.

"Ah, Cassidy."

"Yes, miss?"

"I'm sorry I had prejudiced about you, and thank you for… everything."

Cassidy smiled at her, "Anytime, miss."

Kaylee quickly turned on her new cellphone and contacted Wendy. She told the girl that her hand was swollen and that she would not be able to go to college or work in the studio.

"How did you injure your hand?"

"I fell down the stairs." lied Kaylee. She didn't want to worry her friend and was forced to lie.

After all, she didn't know how her hand had gotten swollen. Maybe she did fall down the stairs... who knows?

Little did she know, she did fall off the stairs but sprained her wrist due to her repeatedly breaking the door until it collapsed.

"What stairs?"

"At someplace. Anyway, I won't be able to come to work and…."

"Where are you now? Do you need my help? It must be tough to do what you want with a swollen hand."

Kaylee's heart warmed to hear Wendy's concern. Her best friend was the most reliable.

"Don't worry. I'm at Declan's house now, so…."

"Oh! Wow! That's so fast! Am I going to have a little nephew or niece soon?"

Kaylee: Why couldn't my closest ones listen to me to the end!?
