Mr. Friedrich furrowed his brows.
Shouldn't the cleaners come clean this place now?
He only met the person who cleaned his villa once and as far as he remembered, that woman never sang, let alone a happy song like this. The woman's face even looked so scared when she saw him, as if she saw a ghost.
Was this the new housekeeper?
The man opened the door and stepped inside. His nose immediately smelled the lavender scent that filled the air, combined with the fresh breeze that blew from outside through the open windows.
He walked with both hands in his pockets towards the direction of the lavender scent and then stood dumbfounded in the doorway of his room.
He had seen the large vase with lavender flower arrangements placed neatly beside the bed.
Subconsciously, he closed his eyes and inhaled the fresh air mixed with the scent of lavender in the perfect balance. Not too much, but enough to make the nerves feel relaxed.
The creases on his forehead gradually loosened up as he felt his mood improve. He walked toward the vase and took a sprig of lavender. He then sat on the bed and studied the purple flower in his hand. A smile slowly etched on his lips.
This must be the new housekeeper, he thought. This one was different from his regular cleaner. This new woman took the time to put lavender flowers in this room and then opened all the windows and aerated the room so that it became so fresh.
The previous housekeepers, when they saw this room was untouched, they seemed to have done absolutely nothing. They certainly enjoy the fact that they did not have to tidy up the bedroom and just leave it at that. They didn't even bother to aerate this room by opening all the windows and doors.
Perhaps because they were required to finish all the work here in less than an hour, they tried to save as much time as possible and not do unnecessary things.
It was only today that Mr. Friedrich had the pleasure of seeing his villa cleaned up. Everything looked fresh and fun. In fact, a little touch by adding lavender flowers in a vase like this could actually make his mood better.
He finally decided to wait until the housekeeper had finished her work before he gave his compliment in person. Suddenly, he no longer felt the urge to go to the lake and work there. The bedroom's atmosphere this morning was fresh and very pleasant.
Fae was still humming in the bathroom while tidying up her brushes. She took fresh towels from the trolley and arranged them on the towel rack neatly. After making sure everything was clean and smelling good, she then went out to the kitchen. She refilled the coffee, tea, milk, fruits, and wine in the refrigerator. The cleaning robot had finished mopping the whole living room and kitchen.
At exactly 10.40 am, her alarm went off, and Fae hastily pressed it. Now, she only had ten minutes to finalize her work and close all the large windows in the bedroom and leave the villa before the occupant returned.
Fee chuckled to herself as she checked every corner of the room for dust. She breathed a sigh of relief after making sure everything was clean. She then went into the bedroom to close all the windows to finish her work and get out of the villa.
As soon as she entered the room, the girl suddenly stopped in her track. Her face looked surprised to see someone sitting on the bed with his back leaning against the headboard. His position seemed very relaxed, and his eyes were closed.
The girl tiptoed, approaching the person to find out whether he was just sitting or asleep.
Was this the VVIP guest? She wondered to herself.
After she was half a meter away from the man, Fae realized that this man was indeed asleep. His chest moved in regular motion, and his face was very peaceful. For a moment, Fee was struck by fascination when she saw the man's face up close.
She had never seen such a handsome man in her village. Even when she and her friends went to the capital to celebrate their graduation, they did not see any man who came close to this good looking man who was now sleeping peacefully in front of her.
Fae heard that this man was already around 30 years old, but why did his face look so young? At first glance, he was like a young man who would soon enter college.
His skin was paler than most people, making the red in his thin lips look even more obvious. His hair was brown with an impeccable cut. His clothes looked formal and classy, perhaps to compensate for his youthful appearance.
Fae could imagine how people wouldn't take this man seriously had he appeared casual and looked so much younger than he actually was.
Fae stared at the man in awe for several minutes.
Was this really THE Mr. Friedrich? If so, his reputation didn't match his looks.
At first, Fae thought Mr. Friedrich would have a murky face and a ruthless expression, especially considering that he was always sleep-deprived and often got angry.
Jeez ... but was this really the same guest? If this was Mr. Friedrich, why was he here now and sleeping on the bed? Shouldn't he be by the lake?
Fae was about to call the housekeeping quarter and report the problem she was having when she saw that the man's hand was gripping the villa's electronic key.
Ahh ... this man can't be an intruder. He brought his own key.
It means...
This really was... Mr. Friedrich?
Fae didn't know that the VVIP guest really liked her job and decided to wait for her to finish cleaning his villa so he could say thank you personally.
However, it turned out that when Mr. Friedrich was sitting in bed relaxing, while waiting for Fee, his head was slowly hit with drowsiness, and he finally fell asleep.

If you read my other book "Finding Stardust", you might remember a certain person who looks younger than his age and had severe insomnia.
There was a crossover between the books when this person met Emma Stardust in a cybersecurity conference ^.^
