Rebecca Quentin gave Marie, the housekeeper, a smile. "It's alright, you can go rest. He should be back soon."
"But..."
Before the housekeeper could finish her sentence, Howard Geoffrey's tall and imposing figure had already walked in from outside.
With a quiet "Sir," the housekeeper retreated unobtrusively into a corner.
Rebecca Quentin got up and was just about to speak when she heard Howard Geoffrey say, "Let's talk upstairs." He then went straight up.
Rebecca Quentin didn't hesitate either and followed him upstairs.
Actually, she insisted on waiting for him in the living room. It wasn't because she feared awkwardness talking in their old room, but rather because she was afraid if he brought someone else home to stay, her presence there would be truly embarrassing.
When Rebecca Quentin entered the room, Howard Geoffrey had already loosened his tie and was unbuttoning his shirt, apparently heading to the bathroom.
