Chapter 44 Stella was startled, her face pale, as she followed the driver and watched him lock Lance's door. As the door opened, she hid behind a pillar like a thief, observing the driver entering the room. Thoughts raced through her mind as she wondered why Lance was meeting with the driver. Had he discovered her intentional abandonment of Tara yesterday? Unable to think clearly, Stella feared for her reputation if Lance knew the truth.

Clenching her fists, she refused to let Tara outshine her, questioning why Tara hadn't been fired despite her attempts to seduce the men. After about 10 minutes, the driver emerged from Lance's room. Suddenly, Stella's phone vibrated. Reading a message from Terence asking her to visit Lance's room, Stella's face fell, fearing that Lance had uncovered her secret. Meanwhile, Tara was dining with foreign cooks and housekeepers on the first floor. Unacquainted, they ate in silence.

When Tara finished her meal, her phone buzzed with a message from Terence, instructing her to go to Lance's room. Pondering if Lance had discovered the truth already, she felt uneasy about the speed of events, considering there shouldn't be any surveillance footage in the villa. After washing her hands, Tara went to Lance's room and knocked on the door. "Come in," Lance's voice invited her in. Upon entering, she found Lance seated on the couch, with Stella standing quietly in the room.

Not having seen Tara for a day, Lance noticed her in a winter uniform. The light blue attire accentuated her delicate appearance, her skin resembling smooth crystal. As Tara approached him, she greeted him softly, "Mr. Swain." Lance, maintaining eye contact, spoke solemnly, "We've investigated the incident from yesterday." Surprised by the swift action, Tara felt like she was dreaming. Turning to Stella, still seated and crying, Tara heard her confession, "Tara, I...

I didn't mean to leave you outside the car yesterday." Unmoved by Stella's tears, Tara recalled Stella instructing the driver to leave while looking directly at her. Stella, caught off guard by Tara's recollection, panicked as she explained, "It's true, I didn't do it intentionally. I thought you were inside the car. Please forgive me, I don't want to lose my job," continuing to cry. Despite Stella's pleas, Tara remained unfazed.

Knowing Stella was the female lead in the story, Tara doubted she would be dismissed from the villa and the men's affections. Observant of the situation, Tara addressed Stella, "As fellow housekeepers, I cannot determine your employment status."
