C19 A Crazy Idea!

Even if she sold her, it wouldn't be enough to pay off the debt.

Did she fall into another trap? Estrella thought deeply about it. If Caiden had deliberately framed her, then she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

Estrella clenched her fists and mustered up her courage. She wanted to make a deal with Caiden. "I..."

Unfortunately, the man had already gone upstairs and was standing on the spiral staircase. He looked down at her from above. Even though his eyes carried a threat, his smile was enough to overthrow all living beings.

Caiden interrupted her. "Are you going to start work? The tools are in the storage room."

Estrella forcefully swallowed her words and said, "I don't know where the storage room is."

"Go find it yourself." Caiden turned around and went upstairs after saying those words.

Judging from Caiden's tone, the warehouse should be on the first floor. Starry searched around in the corner and found the things needed to clean the place, such as a vacuum cleaner, mop, cleaning agent, etc.

Estrella knew that it was worth it. Even if she did not sleep for a night, she would not be able to clean up such a big house. Therefore, she was smart enough to slack off and save energy. She first cleaned up the area that she could see. As for the rest of the place, she would think about it later.

The house was not dirty. It was obvious that someone was cleaning it regularly. This was the conclusion that Estrella came to after cleaning the living room. It was fortunate that the previous person was clean and serious. Otherwise, she would be half dead from exhaustion.

The water in the kitchen was boiling. She poured herself a glass of water and sat on the ground to rest for a while. Looking at the time, it was almost 11:30. It seemed that she would not be able to go back tonight.

"Sit on the ground, don't you feel cold?" Caiden's deep voice came from behind her.

In the quiet night, his voice sounded in her ears, deep and magnetic.

Caiden had already taken a bath. He was wearing a black bathrobe, which made his eyes look even more serene. His hair had not been wiped, and it was still wet on his shoulders. A towel was casually placed on his shoulders. This casualness did not affect his perfect temperament and appearance at all. Instead, it made him look even more handsome.

Caiden propped his arm against the sofa, and the water on his hair fell onto the back of her hand.

Estrella turned around and happened to see his gaze.

In the quiet night, a man and a woman suddenly looked at each other in the empty house. The air suddenly had a hint of romance.

Caiden was almost bewitched by her beauty. He shook his head and shook away the thoughts that he should not have. He then replied to Estrella with Caiden's own words, "Everything here is expensive. Even if I sold it, I wouldn't be able to afford it. I'm a coward, so it's safer to not touch anything."

"Whatever." Caiden sneered. It was rare for him to be kind, but he did not get what he wanted. This heartless woman.

Stella held the cup and drank from it. She was not in the mood to argue with him at this hour. She had to rest and clean up before leaving.

Caiden grabbed her by the arm and dragged her back to the kitchen.

His hand was hot, and the heat seemed to spread through the surface of her skin. It was unknown if it was because she had just finished showering.

"Are you really going to clean up the entire house without sleep?" Caiden looked at Estrella and an inexplicable emotion spread in his heart.

'This silly girl doesn't know how to be lazy. She said she wanted to clean the house, but she was actually preparing to clean the entire house?' His house was not something that she could clean up by herself.

However, when he grabbed her arm, she felt that half of her arm was numb. However, he didn't grab too hard. Was this the legendary power of a handsome guy? She gently rubbed her arm and sighed, "I really don't want to clean, but I don't want you to let me go?"

Caiden's good intentions were misinterpreted by her. He smiled coldly and said, "You know yourself."

Estrella glanced at him but did not say anything.

How could she be self-aware? She clearly had a deep understanding of the exploitative nature of capitalists. Even if Caiden acted like a good person, he was still a big wolf in the end.

As expected, the big-tailed wolf Caiden quickly gave the pitiful "body wrapping worker" an order, "I just took a shower, go and clean the bathroom."

"You want to clean the bathroom too?" Stella stared at him with wide eyes. What kind of strange person was he? Why would he ask someone to clean his bathroom in the middle of the night?

Moreover, he had just used the bathroom. Who knew if there would be something she shouldn't have seen inside?

Seeing her dejected face, Caiden felt a little relieved. "It seems that your bathroom has never been cleaned. Since you don't have any experience in cleaning the bathroom, I should reconsider..."

"Yes, yes, yes! Think about it." She looked at him expectantly, her big eyes shining brightly.

Caiden smiled. "Then I'll consider whether I should still hire you or pay you back."

"I'll clean it up, I'll clean it up!" Who asked me to be at a disadvantage?

Following Caiden up the stairs and into his room.

His room was much bigger than her entire house. The room was a simple black and white combination, which was very suitable for this man's ruthless personality. This room looked ordinary, but if one looked carefully, one would find that every detail in the room was filled with a simple beauty. Only a master could make such a perfect design.

Caiden never let outsiders enter his room. Even the auntie who was cleaning would only come in at specific times and would not allow anyone to disturb his things. He also did not allow anyone to look at him.

He did not expect that just because he wanted to tease this woman, he would let her intrude into his life. He looked at her blankly as she sized up his world, but he did not feel any discomfort. He did not even have the intention of stopping her.

Could it be that it was really as the cheap-tongued Rohan had said, that he had been lonely for too long?

When she retracted her gaze and looked at him again, he pointed at the bathroom and said coldly, "Go and clean up."

"Oh, okay."

Caiden looked at her excitedly entering the bathroom and sighed.

This kind of emotion was too dangerous. He needed to control himself. She was just a woman, so if he wanted her, he could just take her. It was not worth his attention.

"I'm done cleaning."

Caiden stood by the French window and looked at the night scene outside. His figure was tall and his back was so good-looking that even the vast night sky outside the window seemed to be a background for him.

"Do you need to clean this room?" After not getting a reply for half a day, she could only ask again.

Caiden was secretly angry about his abnormal behavior these past few days. When he saw that Estrella had hit him, his body tensed up, and his breathing became heavy. A thought appeared in his mind.
