Chapter 135
Ethan got in beside her.
A bodyguard got in the front and the driver started driving .
Two more cars consisting of bodyguards followed them from behind.
“Irish, you don’t know how happy i am to have you choose me over him, i didn’t expect that” Morgan grinned broadly.
“Does that mean you’ve been admiring me secretly?” Morgan asked, licking his lips.
“No” Irish replied bluntly.
“Ohh” Morgan covered his disappointment with a smile.
“They why did you choose to come with me?” Morgan asked.
“I only chose to come with you to hurt him. Nothing else” Irish said.
“Anyway, there’s still some hope you’ll get to love me during your stay in my house, I’m a very sweet person, I’ll have the maids attend to your every need and have them refer to you as ‘Queen Irish’ ” Morgan said.
“You don’t have to do that ” Irish smiled shyly.
“Why not? You’re my queen and the fact that you are carrying his baby won’t change that. I’d do anything for you”
“You’re as sweet as you said” Irisj said.
“I told you” Morgan said, his head feeling like it would burst soon.
He felt he’s starting to win her heart.
“If only i knew you’d be coming with me, i would have had the maids set up your room like a Queen’s. I guess you’ll have to sleep in my room tonight till the room’s set up because i won’t have you stay in that room, it doesn’t befit the love of my life”Morgan said.
“How’s Catherine going to take this? I cant believe i hadn’t even thought of her, i was only thinking of hurting Ethan back” Irish sighed.
“Catherine is going to welcome you with open arms, she’ll be so happy to have you in the house” Morgan said.
“Really?”
“Yes” Morgan smiled.

“Hell no! I’m not going to allow this, get out of this house in a minute” Catherine yelled at Irish who surveyed the living room.
It was a beautiful house, though not as exquisite as Morgan’s mansion.
She had been stunned when the maids rushed to collect her luggage and bow to her.
Ethan never allows bowing.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Catherine, you need to chill” Morgan whispered to her.
“She hates Ethan already and she left him. This is your chance to get him”
“Really? She left him?” Catherine asked.
“Yes” Morgan said.
“Oh.. my, you’re welcome Irene” Catherine smiled sweetly.
“Huh?” Irish asked.
“I’m sorry to have behaved that way, i was upset by something before you came in, you’re highly welcome in here. Come with me, I’ll show you to your room” Catherine said, grabbing her hand. Irish was surprised.
“No, she’ll be staying with me in my room tonight till her room is completely set up”Morgan said. “Perfect! I should show her round the house then and introduce her to the staff” Catherine said, smiling.
“Would you like to eat first?”Morgan asked Irish who nodded.
“I would love to eat and freshen up first” Irish said.
“Alright, go freshen up while i tell the cooks to prepare a special delicacy for you” Catherine beamed.
“Okay”
Morgan took Irish’s hand and led her towards the stairs to his room.
Every worker bowed as they walked passed them and Irish was greatly impressed.
____
“OMG! Stop hitting her please” Irish said, running to the rescue of a maid Catherine was seriously hitting.
She just finished freshening up, Morgan had led her back to the living room.
She was so surprised to see him not stopping Catherine
“You’re fired!” Catherine said to the maid who pleaded in tears.
She had stopped hitting her but the lady’s nose was bleeding and her eye was a bit swollen.
“You shouldn’t hit her, you have no right to do that” Irish said.
“This is my house! And they are my workers, I’ll do to them whatever pleases me” Catherine stated clearly.
Irish sighed…”I know right but what was her offense?”
“You won’t believe she didn’t bow to me when i walked past her” Catherine fumed.
“Excuse me?” Irish was stunned.
“You’re hitting her because she refused to bow? You hit and fire them when they refuse to bow?” Irish turned to Morgan who wasn’t saying anything.
“Of course, they know they are meant to bow to their employers, not bowing is a sign of disrespect and a worker who disrespects his employer should be fired immediately. That is how things are done here” Catherine said.
“They are your workers, i know but i don’t think hitting one’s worker has been legalised, you have the right to fire them but not hit them” Irish said.
“This is not Ethan’s house where he doesn’t have control over his workers, i know you’re used to that lifestyle but that’s not how things are done over here, you’ll be staying here now, you should get used to it” Catherine said.
“And you, you’re fired!” Catherine said to the maid.
“Go pack your things!” She yelled.
“Morgan, won’t you say something?” Irish asked.
“What do you want lovie?” Morgan asked with all sweetness.
He looked like he was ready to do anything for her.
“Please don’t make Catherine fire her, this place might be her only source of income, please” Irish pleaded, knowing how tough the struggle is out there.
She has passed through that stage and she doesn’t hope for anyone to go through that hardship and she was so moved by the lady’s tears.
“Please” Irish repeated and Morgan sighed, glancing at Catherine who glared at him.
“I think you should plead with her instead” Morgan said to Irish.
“Catherine please, do not fire her, she isn’t gonna repeat that disrespectful act, will you?” Irish asked the maid who quickly shook her head.
“Fine” Catherine said.
“Thank you so much ma’am, thank you. I promise i won’t repeat that. Thank you” The maid said happily.
“Just get out of my sight” Catherine rolled her eyes and the maid quickly stood up, bowed and left hurriedly.
“Come with me to the dining room, the table is set” Catherine said to Irish.
“Okay, thanks” Irish said, walking behind her and taking note of the environment.
They walked into the dining room and Irish was amazed at the amount of dishes arranged on the table.
It was almost overwhelming.
“Wow .. all this for me?” She asked.
“Yes, Morgan is more wealthy than you thought, even wealthier than Ethan but he just doesn’t like showing off” Catherine smiled and Morgan winked thankfully at her.
“Really?” Irish asked, glancing at Morgan who feigned shyness by staring at his feet. “Yes, i know Ethan can never afford to set his dining table up like this, he eats like a miser” Catherine said.
“Ohh” Irish smiled inwardly.
“I would love you both to join me” Irish said.
“No, it’s all for you” Catherine said.
“I can’t possibly finish this, besides, I’d love some company while eating and didn’t you say
you’re going to fill me in on the system of this house, we can do that over lunch” Irish said. “That’ll be great” Catherine said and they both sat with Irish for lunch.
___
“Your cook is really good” Irish said with a nod, enjoying the meal.
“Well.. there are thirteen of them” Catherine said.
“What!” Irish exclaimed, startling Morgan.
Catherine knew why she was surprised. Ethan had only one cook.
“I’m sorry but aren’t they too much to be in the kitchen?” Irish asked.
“I guess our kitchen will be the first place i should show you then, it’s very wide and spacious” Catherine said.
“Its not about the size but the people, thirteen people in the kitchen?”
“Well.. they do not get to be at the kitchen at the same time, there’s the head cook who’s there all the time but the rest of them alternate shifts, just three people are allowed to be with her for breakfast, three for lunch, three for mid lunch and three for dinner.
“Ohh… interesting” Irish smiled.
“I guess it isn’t that way in Ethan’s house” Morgan said.
“Of course it isn’t, he only has one cook whom he made to be preparing meals for everyone because he believes she owes him” Catherine snarled.
“That’s not true!” Irish snapped.
“Mrs Gabrielle voluntarily offered to be the cook and she had even turned down Ethan’s offer severally to bring in another cook. She loves cooking and feels she’s the only one who can
protect Ethan from being poisoned also after the death of Carrle. That was why she devoted her time to making the house meals, she even refuses anyone’s help except mine” Irish explained. “Ohh” Morgan said.
“Whatever” Catherine said, she couldn’t believe Ethan told Irish about Carrle already, he must really trust her.
“You should know Carrle” Irish said to Catherine observing her deeply.
There was panic in her eyes but it quickly disappeared as soon as it appeared.
“Of course i know Carrle, i liked her even though she was against my every move in that house! She almost stopped Ethan from getting married to me” Catherine said with anger in her eyes. “Ohh” Irish smiled.
They all continued their meal in silence and Morgan was almost lost staring at Irish who hadworn pink shorts and white sweatshirt after freshening up, her hair was in a tight ponytail which highlighted her beautiful face and she even had striking eyes.
He’s attracted to her, he has never seen anyone look this beautiful without wearing make up, she was much more natural than the women he was accustomed to who always wearmakeup, perform breast and butt enhancements..
He’s so happy Ethan lost this gem to him.
Catherine, noticing Morgan was almost drooling over Irish couldn’t help but feel jealous. She feels so insecure about Irish’s natural beauty.
Who wouldn’t drool over her?
Well… she should be stuck here with Morgan while she makes a move on Ethan..
“Okay, about the house system” Catherine broke the silence.
“Ohh.. yeah” Irish said, she was still surprised about Catherine’s sudden kindness to her. Isn’t it the same lady who had emptied a bowl of ice cream on her?
And why would a wife be so comfortable with her husband bringing in another lady.
She hopes Catherine doesn’t have something tricky up her sleeves.
“I know you must be so used to Ethan”s house system that you’ll find things here a bit awkward and i should make this clear, you have no right to change any of this house rules, you have to go with the flow”
“Ohh.. okay but what if I’m not comfortable with it?” Irish asked.
“Then you’ll have to avoid it but no changing of anything, i hate it when people don’t do as i want” Catherine said.
“Alright then” Irish said.
“Okay, so here, the workers are to bow to their employers and any of them who refused to do that will get punished and fired immediately…” Catherine started.
Irish nodded with a deep sigh after Catherine was done.
“Once we’re done eating, I’m going to show you round the house and introduce you to the workers” Catherine said.
“Alright” Irish said, sipping a pineapple juice which almost made her throw up.
“Can i have strawberry juice only and strawberry cake and whipped cream for dessert” Irish said.
“Of course, anything you want” Morgan smiled and quickly ordered the cooks to bring in what Irish wants.
“Thank you” Irish smiled.
