Chapter 128 Coincidence

The moment Kisa heard that her heart beat a little faster.

‘It is the Case family. What a coincidence!‘

At that time, Lea only knew Kisa as Raine. She had no idea her friend was Kisa Becker, a daughter the Case family had taken in.

After not getting a reply from Kisa, Lea suddenly recalled something as she said, “Oh, right. This Case family is Sharon’s family. I remember that you had some feud with her, and she seemed to be calling you sis or something. Have you guys known each other since the beginning?”

“I have some feud with her. I’ll tell you next time.”

“Okay. If that’s the case, I think you shouldn’t be going, so that she won’t make things difficult for you. It’s my bad. I only had the high pay in mind and forgot about that.”

“No, I’ll go.”

“Eh? You’re going?”

“Give me the address. I’ll meet up with you there.”

The Case family was a famous household in Calthon, so the birthday banquet was a big one, and they had hired a lot of temporary staff.

Based on what Lea had said, they had already found the servants long ago. However, two of them could not make it due to last–minute matters. It was Lea’s friend who contacted her and got her to stand in.

All of the temporary staff entered from the side entrance. After entering, they would be led in by the steward of the Case family before being assigned a task one by one.

The Case family steward knew who she was, so before Kisa came, she deliberately put makeup on, and after putting on the servant uniform, even Gilbert would not recognize her even if she stood before him.

Fortunately for her, both she and Lea were assigned to the kitchen, which meant that she did not need to go to the hall or the courtyard to greet the guests. That way, no one would notice her at all.

“Raine, the Case residence sure is big. No wonder Sharon is so haughty. If I was born into such a rich family, I too would be like that.”

As she cut the vegetables, Lea could not help but quip.

Kisa smiled. “You won’t. You’ll still be kind even if you’re born into a rich family.”

“Tsk, tsk, Raine, you think too highly of me. I’m only nice to people I care about, and you are one of those people,” Lea said as she leaned onto Kisa’s shoulder.

Kisa smiled as she patted Lea’s heart, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart.

Her life had been too difficult and too tiring recently. Fortunately, Lea was now back, and she had another person to talk to.

As she thought about it, the Case family steward suddenly rushed in

“There’s not enough people outside You, and you, carry these sweets out. Put half of them in the hall and half of them in the courtyard.”

The two people the steward was referring to were exactly Kisa and Lea

Kisa panicked. If she were to go out like this, Sharon might discover her.

Kisa was waiting for the banquet to begin to go upstairs into the attic to pry open the lock.

“If Sharon discovers that I’m here this early, my plans will be as good as ruined ”

“What are you two waiting for? We didn’t hire you for you with that large sum of money for you to laze about.”

Seeing Kisa still standing there, the steward yelled at her.

Lea immediately snapped to attention, “Raine, what’s the matter? Do you feel unwell?”

Kisa immediately shook her head as she whispered, “No, it’s just that I don’t want to go near crowds. I get nervous.”

“Then… just bring that tray out into the courtyard.” Lea leaned toward her ear and whispered as she said, “Just pretend to take one out. I’ll do the rest.”

Kisa shot her a grateful look and then carried one of the trays of sweets as she followed Lea. outside.
