Scarlett Yates looked at the pile of tofu and cabbage on the table repeatedly. Even though her stomach was growling with hunger, she still had no appetite.
Even if she needed to eat light right now, it wasn’t necessary to eat plain boiled cabbage and tofu, was it?
That old fox Ian Douglas, he must have done it on purpose!
Just because she had previously obliged his wishes, promised to leave Matthew Saxon, and then laid out a bunch of conditions that made him furious, he held a grudge against her and took this opportunity to make life difficult for her.
An old man with one foot already in the grave still being so petty with the younger generation, he really has no tolerance for others.
"What’s your na?" Scarlett pushed the bowl in front of her aside and raised her head to look at the young maid.
"Miss Yates, you can call Vivian." The young maid looked very young, around eighteen or nineteen, with a fresh and delicate appearance, as pretty as a flower.
The maids here at Ian Douglas’s place were all such vibrant young girls, in terms of appearance, figure, and age, they were the cream of the crop selected from many people.
These beauties, outstanding in all aspects, were a severe waste of resources being arranged as maids for the Douglas Family.
He sure knows how to enjoy himself.
Even the maids were selected as if he were choosing consorts.
"Vivian, can you do a favor?" Scarlett looked around, seeing that only the two of them were in the room and no one else outside, she grabbed Vivian’s arm and whispered, "I really can’t eat this stuff. Can you go to the kitchen and get sothing else? It doesn’t need to be so big fish or at, just sothing with a bit of flavor."
Damn the plain boiled cabbage and tofu, is that stuff ant for humans to eat? She resolutely resisted.
Vivian was stunned for a mont, then shook her head like a rattle, "No can do, Miss Yates. Miss Yates just woke up, you must follow the doctor’s instructions. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong again, we can’t bear the responsibility. Besides..."
Vivian paused, then suddenly smiled aningfully.
Seeing her strange smile, Scarlett frowned, "Besides what?"
Vivian blinked and said with a smile, "The master already predicted Miss Yates would do this, so he specially instructed that no matter what Miss Yates says, we aren’t allowed to agree. Whoever dares to secretly change Miss Yates’s dinner will be kicked out."
"Miss Yates, it’s not that I won’t help you, I just don’t want to lose my job."
Damn it!
It really was that old fox Ian Douglas playing tricks!
Scarlett, seething with anger, gritted her teeth and said, "Go get that old fox, I have sothing to say to him."
"Miss Yates, how can you call the master that!"
The maid seed to be quite frightened by her calling Ian Douglas an old fox, her eyes widened in shock and her face showed a terrified expression, "Miss Yates, the master is the young master’s grandfather, it’s so disrespectful to call him that."
Scarlett snorted indifferently, releasing Vivian, she slumped over the table, resting her head on her arm, and said resentfully, "What is he if not an old fox, giving plain boiled cabbage, that’s abusing a patient, don’t you know?"
"The master is doing it for your own good."
Vivian glanced at her and muttered. Without waiting for her to retort, she added, "Miss Yates, you should not speak so rashly in the future. The master is a very dignified person, and no one dares to be so disrespectful to him. If you weren’t the young master’s woman, just saying this, the master could have soone slap your mouth."
