Chapter 206: A Good Life
Thea let out a long deep sigh as she looked at the electric fences protecting the whole area of Jeru’s house from the veranda of her room. This was better than staying at the safe house or the Military Base. At least she could go out to work.
It was still dark outside. Today, she woke up early to prepare breakfast for Jeru and herself. Before she moved in with him, Jeru was living all by himself in the new house. He didn’t have a live-in housekeeper to help him with the management of his household affairs. Only a trusted cleaning lady would come once in a while to clean the house.
She had noticed that Jeru never bothered to have his breakfast at home before he went out every morning. He asked if she wanted to grab some breakfast somewhere yesterday, but she refused saying she would eat at the office instead. So cooking for him and preparing his breakfast was the least she could do for him.
She walked out of her room and went downstairs. A high-tech surveillance system with indoor and outdoor video security cameras complete with face recognition system were installed in every corner of the house. As soon as an unfamiliar face was detected, the alarm system would immediately send a signal to Jeru’s security team from the Liu Group.
It had become her daily routine now where Jeru would drop her off at work and pick her up again after work. She was thankful that he remained relaxed and natural with her and he would only talk to her when necessary.
But she still felt a bit awkward around him.
She was thinking about what she should cook as she made her way to the kitchen to check what kind of things Jeru had in there.
If there was one thing that she could be proud of about herself was her cooking skills. She could cook really well because she had learned from Zach’s mom, Auntie Sheila.
She let out another sigh at the thought of Zach’s family whom she had a chance to meet again at the Military Base. Lyra had explained everything to them and she was glad and relieved that they no longer hated her.
