章 48: Chapter 48: The secret

The stage supervisor handed her the script. The actors all stayed at the Villa, but the actors who were staying in a room by themselves were on the same floor. Queenie was on the same level as Edie, so delivering the script to her was very convenient.

Edie took the script and said, "Okay, I will take it right over to her." "Thank you, Miss Edie," he said very gracefully. Edie went back to the Villa with Rhoda. Instead of going to her room first, she went straight to Queenie's room.

She thought she was staying in room 1003, but she wasn't sure. Maybe it was room in 1006. Edie raised her hand to knock on the door of 1006; suddenly, she heard a voice coming from inside. "Well, I love you too." The sound was very soft. It was Queenie's voice.

Edie was stunned; she couldn't believe she was hearing. Rhoda looked at her in shock.

When Queenie attended the event, she always claimed that she had been in the business for five years and had never been in love. The tone in her voice indicated that she was not saying this to a friend, but to someone who she dearly loved.

Edie made a gesture to Rhoda, and they went back to Edie's room. Rhoda couldn't help herself, "My god Queenie is in love and by the sounds of things it has been going on for a long time."

Edie anxiously said, "Keep your voice down, or someone might hear you. We have to be careful."

Rhoda covered her mouth and nodded. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Edie, what are we going to do?"

"What can we do? We have to pretend that we did not hear it. Queenie was so famous that she didn't want to reveal her personal life. I really don't blame her."

"What about the script?"

"We can wait a while, and by then, she should be finished on the phone." Edie waited five minutes and called Queenie. She answered very quickly, "Hello? Miss Edie?" Edie pretended that nothing had happened and said, "You forgot your script, so the supervisor asked me to bring it to you. When is a convenient time for me to drop it off to you?."

"Well, thank you so much. I'll tell my assistant, and she can come and get it." Her assistant quickly came and picked up the script. Edie specifically said to Rhoda, "Rhoda, you've been working in showbiz for a long time, so you know this kind of thing needs to be kept a secret."

"Don't worry, Edie, I understand. I will not say a word."

The first week of filming went very smoothly because of everyone's excellent acting skills. Even Zoe seemed to be doing much better after Edie reduced the pressure on her. It was because of the lead incident which to sound an alarm for Zoe. Whenever they were in the same room, you could feel the tension between them. Zoe never gave Edie a look of approval, and it was always a cold look.

Soon it was Monday time for Edie to have a break. Stuart's driver arrived early in the morning at the Villa. He didn't show up in the regular limousine this time. It was just an average SUV. Edie was shocked when she saw him and instantly felt relieved.

The Villa that Edie was staying in was to the south, and Stuart lived on the other side in the north, They had to drive through the city to get there. Edie arrived at the Villa in the afternoon. When Mr. Sampson opened the door, he was surprised to see her, "Mrs. Yates, how did you get here?"

Edie walked in the door, "Stuart told me to come back on my days off. Is he not here?" Mr. Sampson suddenly realized, no wonder why the Master was still waiting at home for the whole morning. This was very unusual for him to do something like that. The more Stuart waited, the grumpier he got.

"Master had been waiting for you all morning, but about an hour ago, the company was in a state of emergency and needed the Master to take care of it, so he went to the company." Edie nodded. "It doesn't matter if he's not here. Where's Carol? Would you mind asking her if she could get me a bowl of noodles, I'm getting hungry."

Mr. Sampson's expression became worried. "Carol and Carey went shopping together, and neither of them is home."

"Don't they usually go on Thursdays? Why are they going on Monday?"

"The week you were away, the Master didn't eat at home. He was barely here because he was working so much. All he really did was sleep and go to work. So there wasn't any shopping to do while you were gone."

"Master said he would be back for lunch this afternoon. Carol guessed that Young Master might not be back until the evening, so she went shopping this afternoon."

Edie was stunned, Stuart wasn't eating at home? Didn't he always eat at home? It didn't matter if he wasn't home this afternoon, she would see him tonight. Edie wasn't upset because he was not there; she just assumed that Stuart had been working too hard.

Suddenly there was a loud grumble in Edie's stomach. "I will immediately call Carol and Carey and ask them to come back right away," Mr. Sampson said soberly. Edie was embarrassed; she raised her hand and waved, "No, it's okay; I can cook it myself."

"How can this be done? The hostess never enters the kitchen," before Sampson could even finish his sentence, he watched Edie walk into the kitchen.

"It's all right, and I love to cook."

"But Master is!"

Mr. Sampson felt sorry for Madame. Oh, my God, he was such a useless housekeeper to let the hostess into the kitchen! He could no longer raise his head in front of his butler's friends. Edie, unaware of Mr. Sampson's feelings, went straight into the kitchen and opened up the fridge.

Then she understood why Carol and Carey had to rush out to buy food. There were only a few tomatoes and eggs left in the refrigerator. Yates Family's rules were strict. The food could just be kept for two days, and then the fridge was to be emptied. This showed Edie that while she was gone, the servants were eating very poorly.

Edie was so hungry that she took out the tomatoes and eggs and started to prepare a sandwich. When she washed the vegetables and was about ready to cut them, she heard a noise coming from the living room. It was the sound of a door.

"Master's back."

"Well, where is Edie?"

"She wants to cook." Stuart's voice was suddenly cold, "You are letting her cook?"

"I tried to explain to her...." Mr. Sampson stumbled a little because of Stuart's anger. Edie didn't want him to blame Mr. Sampson for her mistake. So she said to Stuart, "Don't blame Mr. Sampson. I was hungry, and I volunteered to do it myself."

Stuart saw her pretty little face, and his face grew softer. He took one look at Mr. Sampson, and then he went into the kitchen. Mr. Sampson tried to stop him, but he was too afraid to speak.

There was no way that he could stop him.

Now, not only was Edie in the kitchen but now the Master! His Noble Master! How can they both be in the kitchen? This is not allowed.
