Katrina understands nothing about the relationships between the rich and powerful. Aaron never mentioned his love life to her, and she knows too little about him.
But she figures it would be better for her to escape quickly and prevent Miss Roberts from discovering her existence, or it will cause trouble.
Just as Katrina moves to flee, Victoria sees her through the French windows.
Complicated emotions flash through Victoria's eyes when she sees Katrina.
Why is there a woman in Aaron's villa?
Victoria is suddenly alert and immediately regards Katrina as her rival.
Katrina gets a headache when she sees the hostility in Victoria's eyes.
Too late, she's seen me.
If this woman has a relationship with Aaron… Will she just come in, grab her hair, and accuse her as a mistress?
In a flash, Victoria enters the villa on her high heels.
If Katrina runs now, she will look guilty.
There's nothing she can do but stay in the living room.
Victoria walks over and looks Katrina up and down with crossed arms. "Randy, who is this?"
Katrina is dressed in loose casual clothes and slippers. She doesn't have any makeup on her face, and her hair is slightly messy.
In contrast, Victoria has elaborate makeup, beautiful and decent clothes, and expensive jewelry that makes her look like she is going to a show.
Victoria naturally feels magnificent and finds Katrina mediocre in comparison.
How could such an ordinary woman appear in Aaron's private villa?
What's her relationship with Aaron?
Randy introduces, "Miss Roberts, and this is Mr. Wilson's…"
Before the word "guest" is spoken, Katrina says, "I'm Mr. Wilson's servant."
As a girl, being associated with Aaron in any way would be misunderstood.
A servant would be the best answer.
Randy doesn't expect Katrina to introduce herself this way. Realizing she doesn't want to ask for trouble, he quickly follows Katrina's lead and nods. "Yes, she's Mr. Wilson's new servant."
Despite the explanation, Victoria's defensive and hostile mood doesn't disappear.
Perhaps Victoria feels threatened because Katrina is young and has a pure and beautiful face. She wouldn't worry if an old or ugly woman worked as a servant for Aaron.
"Miss Roberts, have a seat."
Randy warmly invites Victoria to sit on the sofa and adds, "Just a moment. I'll get you a cup of tea. Mr. Wilson will be back soon."
Playing the role of a maid meeting a guest, Katrina remains in place at a loss with what to do. Randy approaches her and whispers to her ear, "Miss Miller, please go back to your room and rest. I'll handle it from here."
After all, Victoria Roberts is the daughter of Mayor Roberts. Since she's visiting Mr. Wilson herself, they dare not neglect her.
But Randy can see Victoria's hostility towards Katrina.
The best thing to do now is to keep them away to prevent anything unpleasant from happening.
Everything will be alright once Mr. Wilson comes back.
Katrina is relieved to hear Randy's words. Just as she moves to leave, she hears a gentle female voice behind her.
"Randy, you're too old to serve me. How could I bother you to pour me some tea? Let the servant do it. By the way, I prefer coffee over tea."
Randy feels helpless and embarrassed. "I…"
Katrina called herself a servant in front of Victoria, but no one in the villa has dared to treat her like one. On the contrary, everyone treats her as if she's the mistress of the villa.
Mr. Wilson cares for Miss Miller a lot. If Mr. Wilson finds out that Randy asked Miss Miller to receive guests and wait on them, he will get angry.
Seeing Randy in trouble, Katrina smiles and turns back. "Yes, Miss Roberts. Please wait for a moment."
Although Katrina knows that Victoria is deliberately targeting her by asking her to pour coffee, she decides to comply.
Since she introduced herself as a servant in the villa, she should play the role.
It's not a big deal to pour a cup of coffee for someone.
Katrina brings the hot coffee and hands it to Victoria. "Miss Roberts, please have some coffee."
Victoria smiles and moves to pick up the cup...
And deliberately shakes her hand and drops the cup before Katrina has enough time to release it completely. Katrina quickly grabs the cup to prevent it from falling on the ground.
Some of the hot coffee inevitably spills on Katrina's hand, and a drop or two accidentally land on Victoria's skirt.
The coffee is so hot that Katrina inhales sharply in pain. She quickly puts the cup aside on the table.
On the sofa, Victoria rubs her skirt with a paper towel and scolds her. "How could you be so careless? Do you know how expensive my skirt is?"
Afraid that something would go wrong, Randy kept watching the two. But he missed what happened when he went to answer a phone call.
Randy quickly walks over. "Miss Roberts, I'm so sorry, let me show you to the bathroom."
Victoria gets up from the sofa and shoots Katrina a distressed look before following Randy to the bathroom.
Katrina scrubs the coffee on her hand in silence.
She feels really unlucky to be imprisoned by Aaron in his private villa.
Not only does Aaron bully her, but now, a woman has come to make her life more miserable.
She's been so careful to avoid trouble, but she still couldn't escape being bullied.
At that moment, Aaron comes back home.
He immediately sees Katrina as soon as he arrives. She's standing alone with her head bowed down and is completely oblivious to his arrival.
Aaron walks over and touches her head. "What are you thinking about?"
Katrina sees Aaron when she looks up and immediately snaps out of her daze. "Oh, Aaron. You've got a guest. And… I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room now."
Although Katrina speaks in a normal tone, Aaron senses that she's a little upset.
"Aaron, you're back!"
Before Katrina could leave, Victoria walks out of the bathroom.
The moment Victoria sees Aaron, a smile immediately lights up her delicate and beautiful face. Even her voice becomes soft and sweet, quite different from when she shouted at Katrina earlier.
