Chapter 68:
After exchanging a few more remarks, Ryan made his way back upstairs. Meanwhile, Cedric leaned back to gaze
once more at the 25th floor, catching the moment when Daniela’s lights dimmed.
Daniela felt no urgency to employ a housekeeper. Over the decade she had spent trying to win Alexander's
heart, she had honed her self-reliance to an art form. Her domestic skills were unmatched, maintaining her home
in impeccable order.
Alexander, ever particular about his meals, had prompted Daniela to seek culinary skills from various esteemed
chefs. Eventually, he found her cooking beyond reproach. Though he was sparing with his praise, he would
occasionally let slip a rare word of appreciation.
Consequently, Daniela saw no immediate need to recruit additional help. She had delegated the task to Lillian
but stressed that there was no need to hurry. After all, Joyce's disruptive antics weren't going to cease any time
soon. Hiring someone too soft-spoken or gentle might only lead them to be overwhelmed by bullying.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, Daniela hadn't anticipated how quickly things would unfold.
The next morning, as the sunlight peeked through her curtains, Daniela’s first sight was Lillian, standing beside
her bed with a wide, infectious smile.
“I've found you a housekeeper!”
Daniela’s eyes flickered open, a fog of sleep clouding her thoughts.
That fast?

It hadn't even been...
She cast a quick glance at the clock on her bedside table.
Not even ten hours had passed.
With a smirk, Lillian added, “I hopped online early this morning to search for a housekeeper, and guess what?
The perfect candidate was waiting to be found. She's exceptional—skilled in all aspects of housework. She can
prepare specialty dishes from around the world. And that’s not all—she’s fluent in five languages and has a
talent for childcare. Should you decide to have children one day, she’s fully equipped to manage it all!”
Daniela couldn't help but be impressed; the woman sounded almost too good to be true.
Beaming with enthusiasm, Lillian continued, “I've already invited her over for a trial run—she’s actually waiting
for us downstairs.”
With a mix of curiosity and intrigue, Daniela followed Lillian down the staircase.
“Hello, Ms. Harper. My nis Josie Maynard, but please, callJosie. I'm here to take care of all your
household needs. Should you have any specific requests, feel free to letknow,” Josie Maynard said with a
warm, welcoming smile.
Daniela gazed at Josie—a middle-aged woman, slightly rounded, with a welcoming, kind demeanor that made
her seem instantly familiar.
“Have we met before?” Daniela asked.
Josie, her hands clasped before her, maintained her gentle smile.
“You can’t be serious! | simply have an ordinary face. What are the chances someone likewould ever cross
paths with you?”
As the words left her lips, Josie’s eyes flickered towards Daniela, her smile deepening with a subtle but

Truly, Daniela was a sight to behold. A vision, almost ethereal, that could easily captivate anyone's attention,
including Cedric’s.
“Miss Harper, I've prepared ssandwiches for you this morning and squeezed sfresh juice. | had to make
do since my arrival was rather rushed, but | plan to shop later. Please, tellyour preferences for tomorrow's
meals, and I'll ensure everything is to your liking.”
Daniela wasn’t usually one for breakfast, her appetite seldom stirring in the early hours, but Josie’s culinary skills
were irresistible. The sandwiches looked delicious, and the juice was fresh.
