He thought to himself, "Look, shes starting to negotiate terms."

"What right do you have to negotiate with me?" Nathan Shaw's face darkened as he glared at her coldly.

This tone was really unpleasant to hear. She thought to herself, "It is clearly you who take advantage of others and force me to submit to you. You, a man, are so vulgar, overbearing, rude, and unreasonable."

When Nathan Shaw saw her expression change, he knew what she was thinking.

Sierra Moore thought about it and said to him, "I know I don't have the right to negotiate with you, but since we have to spend so much time together, you don't want me to think about how to escape all day, right?"

"You are very honest." Nathan Shaw glanced at her.

Being seen through, Sierra Moore gave a dry laugh. "Actually, my request is very simple. I am not your pet, and I can't stay here 24 hours a day. I also have my own life. I hope you don't interfere with my life."

With her qualifications, it was not difficult for her to find a job in New York. Moreover, before she returned to the country, she had already sent resumes to several good companies. Presumably, there would be results soon.

As if he had seen through her thoughts, Nathan Shaw sneered. The moment he opened his mouth, he spared no effort to attack her.

"From now on, staying by my side is your job. The reward is ten million and the contract period is one year.

"Of course, if I am unhappy during this period, I will let you leave at any time.

"But before I tell you to stop, you can only stay by my side honestly, unless you can repay the ten million."

She thought to herself, "Ten million, ten million... If you don't mention it, will you die?"

Sierra Moore glared at him with red eyes. She didn't know if she was angry or wronged. In short, she felt that she couldn't talk to the bastard anymore. They couldnt communicate at all!

However, she also understood that she couldn't ask for more than what she could get. At least, it was already a good sign that she could communicate calmly with the bastard now, wasn't it?

"You have no choice but to compromise when living under my roof. Am I right?"

Sierra Moore curled her lips. She had not yet recovered from her illness. After talking to Nathan Shaw for half a day, she felt more tired than she had been through a battle. Exhaustion struck her, and before she could lie down properly, she fell asleep directly against the headboard.

When Nathan Shaw saw that she kept her head down and did not speak, he thought that she was angry. When he walked over, he saw that she had fallen asleep.

There was a slight snoring sound in her nose, and her thick eyelashes were like two small fans, trembling from time to time. She was really cute.

"She's obviously a stupid woman," Nathan Shaw said with a frown, not understanding why he would have such thoughts.

The rich fragrance woke up the woman in her dreams. That was right, Sierra Moore woke up from hunger.

When she woke up, she saw a person standing in the room. Before her eyes could adjust to the light, she heard the person say, "Miss Moore, you're awake! Are you hungry? There's porridge in the kitchen. Wait for me to get it for you."

Hearing that it was a woman's voice, Sierra Moore immediately put down the vigilance in her heart, since it was good that the person was not Nathan Shaw.

Because it was inconvenient for her since her hand was injured, the woman insisted on feeding her porridge. The woman also said that it was because of Mr. Shaw's order. Once Sierra Moore heard it, she knew that it was Nathan Shaw who did it.

However, her hand was indeed uncomfortable, so she did not insist.

Sierra Moore chatted with her as she ate porridge. Only then did she realize that this was the nurse that Nathan Shaw had hired for her. Her name was Lydia, and she had specially come to take care of her food and drinks.

Sierra Moore felt that Nathan Shaw was overreacting. She thought to herself, "I only have one hand injured. It was like I was severely disabled. Was it really necessary to find someone to attend to me?"

"Could it be that this bastard is sent to monitor me?"

Thinking of how Nathan Shaw especially found someone to monitor her every move, Sierra Moore suddenly felt quite faint from head to toe. Her eyes were full of inquiry as she looked at Lydia.

"What time is it now?" Sierra Moore asked Lydia after finishing the porridge.

Lydia replied, "It's almost five o'clock. It's getting dark outside. If Miss Moore is tired, just lie down and rest. Mr. Shaw said that he will come back a little later today because he has something to do, so you don't have to wait for him."

Looking at Lydia's ambiguous expression, Sierra Moore sighed. She just wanted to know the time, and she didn't care about whether this bastard came back or not. Moreover, she did not intend to wait for him.

There was no phone in the room. Sierra Moore wanted to borrow the mobile phone from Lydia. Unexpectedly, the moment Sierra Moore was about to ask, Lydia suddenly became cautious.

Lydia said, "Mr. Shaw instructed me not to lend you a phone, nor to let you leave this house. If Miss Moore wants to make a phone call, you might wait for Mr. Shaw to come back and tell him yourself."

Sierra Moore thought to herself, "Do I even need to apply to him for a call? It will be late for him to come back?"

"Please, please. I'll just make a call to my friend. He won't know as long as you don't tell him." Sierra Moore was still unwilling to give up and looked at Lydia with pitiful eyes.

In the end, Lydia still refused. Although she was a caregiver, she also had her own professional conduct. She would not go against what Mr. Shaw had specially instructed her to do. It was even more impossible for her to commit a violation that she knew. This was related to her high salary. It was not a joke.

Sierra Moore, who was ruthlessly rejected, felt extremely stifled. Under Lydia's supervision, she took the medicine and lay down. Her head was dizzy and she soon fell asleep.

When Sierra Moore woke up in the morning, her head was still a little dull. She opened her eyes and suddenly saw a handsome face in front of her. She was nearly let out a scream.

She wanted to escape from this strange aura, but she found that the man's hand was resting on her waist, and the temperature that was penetrated by his palm suddenly became hot.

However, when she moved, she woke up the man next to her.

Nathan Shaw opened his eyes and looked at her. His long and narrow eyes carried a lazy aura that made her heart beat faster.

He turned to look at the time and found that it was only five o'clock, so he hugged her in his arms, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

His movement affected all the nerves in her body, making Sierra Moore tense up in fear as if she was facing a great enemy.

Not long after, even breathing sounds could be heard. Sierra Moore looked at him in disbelief, thinking to herself, "Under this situation, he could still fall asleep. He really isn't of the same race as us."

Nathan Shaw was asleep, but Sierra Moore couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She tried to pull the bastard's arms off her waist, but obviously, she failed.

To avoid waking him up, she had no choice but to give up. She was so tense that she did not dare to move.

It had been a long time since Nathan Shaw had slept so comfortably. When he opened his eyes, he looked at the woman in his arms who was on guard. The corners of his mouth curled into a sneer. In Sierra Moore's eyes, this smile was extremely horrifying.

Sierra Moore grinned awkwardly, but she found that she could not laugh at all. She could not even force herself to do it. She could only say dryly, "Well, good... morning."

"Actually, I prefer you to say good morning in another way!"

Nathan Shaw narrowed his eyes, and Sierra Moore's heart immediately rang with alarm. Just as she was about to make a move, she was pulled into his embrace by his long arms. He was so overbearing that it was impossible to resist him.

Sierra Moore had not forgotten about what had happened in Dark Night. She did not dare to disobey the bastard, so she had been very obedient recently.

She thought that perhaps as long as she stopped resisting, the bastard would not be interested in her!

For the next two days, Nathan Shaw left early and returned late. Sometimes, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she found that he was already sleeping beside her, and his body exuded the aura of a mature man.

However, she was already quite calm and did not scream out in fear anymore.

During the day, Lydia was taking care of her and she could not go anywhere. She had nothing to do, so she watched TV to kill the time. She accidentally saw all kinds of rumors about this man.

She didn't expect Nathan Shaw to be so famous in New York. He had a scandal with many celebrities and wealthy people, and the most popular one among them was a famous actress.

It was said that he went to England to have a secret rendezvous with her.

This suspected official girlfriend was called Avery Yates. She was one of the few female stars that Sierra Moore liked. Avery Yates was young and beautiful. The key point was that she was a good actress. She had only been in the industry for a few years, but her acting career was booming.

After watching tabloid news, Sierra Moore was very depressed. She did not know how a great beauty like Avery Yates was related to that bastard.

After two days of boredom, Sierra Moore's cold and fever were all cured, but the wound on her hand was too deep and she could not move for the time being.

Even though this confined life had only lasted two days, she was almost driven crazy. She walked around the room all afternoon and even thought of a way to knock Lydia out.

After dinner, Sierra Moore did not sleep. She sent Lydia away and then sat alone in the living room watching TV. As she watched, sleepiness swept over her body.

She had been silently chanting to herself, "You can't sleep", but in the end, she couldn't resist the sleepiness.

When Nathan Shaw came back, it was already very late. He was a little surprised to hear the movement in the living room.

He did not turn on the lights. As he walked to the living room to take a look, he saw Sierra Moore sitting in the corner of the sofa. The TV on the wall was broadcasting a midnight theater.

As for the woman on the sofa, she had already fallen asleep while hugging the pillow.

He never thought that there would be such a day when a woman was sitting in the living room waiting for him to go home, though this woman could not wait to fall asleep.

The dim screen in the living room gave him a warm feeling, like the feeling when he was with his mother as a child, which made him feel satisfied that he had never experienced it before.

He crouched on the carpet and looked at the woman on the sofa. She didn't seem to be sleeping soundly. Her mouth would occasionally mutter a few words in her sleep. Nathan Shaw listened to what she said. "Bastard, get back to your place."

"Bastard? Did this woman watch some kind of brainless interstellar blockbuster?"

He stretched out his hand and pinched her tender face. She looked very obedient when she fell asleep.
