Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 99
Can you imagine, Miss Pendleton, what happened in my heart at that moment? It was a joy so immense that even the surprise when you first opened the door to my future as a typist, the delight of leaving home to move into my first boarding house, and the excitement of my first day at work, all bundled together, would fall short!
The very next day, I set off for Bath with Miss Lotis. There were lectures and book signings scheduled there. As soon as we arrived, I spent the entire day following her, adjusting the event schedule, preparing her clothes and carriage, and arranging her meals. I became her personal secretary. My salary tripled, and the publisher agreed to cover it entirely. The hours are longer, but to be paid so handsomely for work I’d do for free feels like a windfall!
It’s barely been a week since I started, but I’m already Miss Lotis’s devoted assistant. Managing her papers, clothes, and notebook filled with scribbles as messy as my own handwriting brings me such happiness. And what’s even more joyful than being her secretary is knowing that she’s quite fond of me, too.
Oh, how I wish I could show you my happiness, Miss Pendleton? Could you visit Bath someday? I’d love to introduce you to Miss Lotis, and the three of us could have tea together. I’m sure you’d come to like her as well!
I’ll write again soon. Please pray that I’m not banished from this paradise, Miss Pendleton!
Your dear friend,Jane Hyde
The news wasn’t the promotion to editor she’d been hoping for but something entirely different. Laura pondered and soon concluded that this would greatly aid Miss Hyde’s growth.
Miss Hyde wasn’t someone destined to be confined to an office forever. Active, free, and brave, she would surely benefit from assisting England’s finest travel writer, Mary Lotis, and find her own path.
“It looks like good news, ma’am,” said a voice.
Laura set the letter down, her cheeks faintly flushed.
She spoke about the letter’s contents.
Mrs. Fairfax offered fitting congratulations. Though unfamiliar with books and unaware of who Mary Lotis was, she always held respect for independent women.
“Tell her to visit a restaurant in town called ‘Beatrice.’ It’s run by an Italian chef, and the food is splendid.”
“Come to think of it, you stayed in Bath for quite a while, didn’t you?”
“Yes. My husband fell off a horse and injured his back, so we recovered there together.”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
I think this trip to Bath will be good to Laura. Meeting these women will inspire her to be more confident. I just hope her ex and Mr. Dalton don’t ruin it.
Each chapter leaves me in suspense for the future. Although the readers are given assurance from Laura’s feelings since the carriage kiss, I can’t help but doubt the next steps for this couple! Ian’s feeling are deep and tumultuous like waves against a cliff. I can only hope that when the two finally meet, he will remain level headed.
