His Cute Wife Is A Little Crazy 127 What Can You Do?

While she was not an easy target, there was no need to borrow trouble.

She thought about the problem for some moments before she told Zhong Feng that she would stay in the penthouse for the time being. This would also make it convenient for her to prepare her apartment. There was no need to complicate life by going back to the Hu Manor or staying in a hotel.

In any case, she had never held back when it came to Zhong Feng. She would not be hypocritical about something small like this.

When Zhong Feng left before the crack of dawn, she could not fall asleep again. There was a chill which seemed to penetrate into her heart. A sense of apprehension seemed to cloud her mind, making her feel lost as soon as he left. But she did not drown in distress.

Fortunately, her creative juices were still flowing. She had worked in the last months to finish the novels which she had abandoned three years ago. It had been challenging to continue because she was a little different than she was then.

However, she had channelled that change into giving her characters a fresh breath. Most of her books always involved some kind of horror and science fiction twists. With her experience, she definitely felt like an expert.

She hoped that her fans would like what she had done with the old stories, if she still had fans. She felt a little depressed at the thought.

Now that she had completed those books, she could move on to her new piece of work. She wanted to have a fresh start as an author without abandoning her original genre. She could not abandon her style. Even if her stories were born due to the horrors she had seen over the years, she still loved this type of fiction.

Moreover, she felt that it would be a shame not to exploit all the knowledge she had gathered from her travels. The least that those dark times could do is earning her some money. Even though she thought in this manner, her eyes sparkled when a new twisted idea cropped up in her mind.

Her new novel was not completely out of the box. It was similar in style with the others in regard to the technical and scientific aspects. However, she felt that it could be one of her greatest books. It was not because she intended to come up with some crazy plot. On the contrary, she intended to explore a more emotional side of the story.

She had always avoided using emotional scenes in her work because she did not completely understand emotions. She had learnt how to suppress feelings since childhood, or perhaps they had been excised by someone.

Now, she felt like she understood the power of emotion a little more. Perhaps with this story, she might be able to unlock that tight rein that still bound her mind and heart.

With the tale forming in mind, she carried her laptop to the couch. She hoped that this would be the tale of ages. She could not help getting excited, her fingers flying across her keyboard.

When the doorbell of the penthouse rang a few hours later, Hu Lei was startled. She felt like she had been in a deep dream. Her mind felt a little cottony and her hands were cramping for typing continuously without resting.

She placed her laptop aside and opened the door for Beatrice. The woman was wearing a fitting suit once again. It did not look any different from the one before. Perhaps it was the same one, who knew? It seemed like this was her style.

When the two women finally sat down, Hu Lei did not waste any time.

"What can you do as an a.s.sistant?" She asked directly.

Hu Lei felt that getting everything out in the open was better than disagreeing in the future. In truth, she did not need someone who was exceptional. She had accepted an a.s.sistant for two reasons. One, she knew that Zhong Feng would not feel at peace if she was always alone. Two, she was not familiar with Supreme City. She needed a guide if she wanted to settle down properly in the city.

She did not need someone who could do everything. As long as Beatrice was reliable and trustworthy, there would be no problem. If not, he-he.

Beatrice was a little surprised by the question. She had been questioned thoroughly about her abilities before she had been hired. However, this was good too. It seemed the little boss was completely ignorant. Her lips stretched subtly. She never thought that she would get this type of opportunity. It would be a shame not to take full advantage.

"I cannot summarise my abilities. I am a jack-of-all-trades. Just think of me as your butler." She spoke in a serious tone.

Hu Lei's brows raised her eyebrows in surprise. Then, she looked at the earnest girl with a discerning eye. She had had some suspicions, but it seems that her instincts were still sharp. Her lips twitched because she wanted to laugh.

However, she suppressed the urge with difficulty. It seemed that she was dealing with someone suffering from that disease. From the outfit to the hairstyle, it seemed that the normal-looking person was secretly obsessed with butlers.

As a good person, Hu Lei did not call her out. Everyone had their interests. She did not mind as long as it did not affect her life negatively. It might even make her life more interesting.

"I hope you will remember those words." She finally said.

"I will." Beatrice responded seriously.

Hu Lei nodded, satisfied with her att.i.tude. As for her capabilities, she would have to wait and see.

"What do you know about interior design?" Hu Lei asked with curious eyes.

"I am not an expert, but if I have a theme or knowledge of an individual's tastes, I can be of help." Her tone was frank and open.

Hu Lei nodded. She liked her honesty and general att.i.tude. And anyway, she did not need a professional interior designer. She wanted to make her own s.p.a.ce in her own style. However, if there was someone to help, she could be more efficient. It might also be good to have a second opinion.

"Can you drive?" Hu Lei could not wait to get started.
