Chapter 1589: Let’s be sisters!
"Patricia, are you sure that’s the only reason you’re curious about the new maids?"
Patricia turned to the driver’s seat, where Theo was asking the same question for the third time during their ride to Prime Group.
"Mhm," she hummed as their vehicle stopped in front of the building. "I’m probably just trying to familiarize myself with the new people at home. That’s all."
Theo nodded in understanding. "Let me know if any of them bother you. Mom can always send them back to their agency and hire them on a daily basis instead."
The helpers didn’t need to stay in the house, so he knew their mother wouldn’t fire them outright. There was a lot of work to do, and maintaining a mansion wasn’t easy—nor cheap.
"Mhm." With that, Patricia stepped out of the front passenger seat.
As she did, she heard a familiar voice.
"Patricia!" Hayley called out, skipping her steps, her face bright as ever.
Seeing her approach, Patricia smiled just as brightly. "You’re late?!"
"It’s still early!" Hayley quipped, stopping beside her. "Still ten minutes before we clock in. Good thing I didn’t get stuck in traffic."
"Me too." Patricia chuckled, silently thanking her brother, who knew the alternate routes to avoid rush hour. Without him, she’d have been running inside.
Meanwhile, Theo watched the exchange from the driver’s seat, his head turned toward the open passenger door that Patricia still held onto while chatting. He didn’t mind—he wasn’t in a hurry—but it was the first time he’d seen his sister interact so casually with someone outside their family.
