Zaneska's voice could be heard all the way through the mansion. Because she saw the look of her expensive large jars on display in her living room that were broken. She seemed to be in a trance when she entered her house, with the three broken jars scattered on the floor.

"All of you come here to the living room! Who did it? Do you have any idea how much that is? It costs more than your life!" I exclaimed loudly.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAeSaAvsjXdY
My ten assistants all bowed in front of me. Others are still shaking in fear. Because they can see how irritated I am.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAAewBEbipfr
Later, one of Lucianna approached me with a bow.

477Please respect copyright.PENANAUtnBor65Ut
477Please respect copyright.PENANAumoFahmeWv
"I apologize, ma'am; my son arrived earlier, and he was playing in the living room, and his hand just happened to land on the jars," she explains.
477Please respect copyright.PENANADisgeddUXt
477Please respect copyright.PENANAOsC0GfYnUJ
477Please respect copyright.PENANA3fQMlVfuXa
My hair suddenly stood on end.

477Please respect copyright.PENANActdQ81nlwc
"Luciana, my house is not a playground; I told you both just before you came in as my staff that you should take care of the things inside the house," I said, one hand on my brow and the other on my hips.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAWSoDBcaKjm
She was trembling in fear of what I was about to do to her, I noticed.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAtFyYpyCPMl
"All right, please put that broken jar in the trash can, because the next time something breaks in this house, I'm not going to forgive you," I explained to each of them separately.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAtmeMJDVGKh
477Please respect copyright.PENANAszHQXlkXBQ
They nodded and walked away from Luciana, leaving her to shed glass. After that, I went to my room and sat on my bed. After a while, my phone rang. I picked up the phone because it was my assistant, Randolf, who was calling.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAaeoze44Ypg
477Please respect copyright.PENANAtEqNsGCcDK
477Please respect copyright.PENANAEBqPln0G0Q
"What exactly is it?" I asked him.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAKbK6JiIgxU
477Please respect copyright.PENANAWvhpiiTsvw
"Miss Zaneska, all of our investors have pulled their investments in us," he said over the phone, trembling.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAWAwD6VsT7h
477Please respect copyright.PENANAXNXhaO3gBC
My brow furrowed in response to what I heard.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAGvwUBaqvxN
477Please respect copyright.PENANAk7E5WbnTqJ
"What's the reason, Randolf?" I asked.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAeB80S6hGkq
"I'm not certain, Miss," he admits.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAxU6Hze96kV
477Please respect copyright.PENANAFespRg67B6
"Fix it right away," I said.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAJlztiuSWHB
"I tried to fix it, but they need to talk to you," he says on the other end of the phone.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAHUqTuERp0p
"And why is that? You're my assistant, so you have the authority to solve the problem."
477Please respect copyright.PENANAXQE1PTOMqS
477Please respect copyright.PENANA3kzAGJCvPT
"I've done everything I can, but they still refuse. Mr. Chin is even worse," he complains.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAsPl9SOBxo9
477Please respect copyright.PENANA5r1QWA8bOx
Mr. Chin is a Chinese investor who lives in China. We fixed the investment, but why was he yanked? Is he lying to me? I sat down on the bed, my phone still in my ear.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAbaSOhkNR8r
477Please respect copyright.PENANAWxrWyQPdzo
"Randolf, take a deep breath. I've heard your nervousness all the way up here," I said.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAnBQ6YAYg99
477Please respect copyright.PENANA6EoKdbGyGB
"I was suddenly afraid that you would chastise me for withdrawing their investments," he said.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAVwnOkN3P0G
Because of what he said, I rolled my eyes.
477Please respect copyright.PENANABMGs3srn2o
"Aren't you used to my routine? How long have you worked with me?" I asked.
477Please respect copyright.PENANA6jAAeOYcWk
I could hear his heavy breathing on the other end of the line.
477Please respect copyright.PENANACzhbisQU5z
"All right, call them and set up a meeting," I said.
477Please respect copyright.PENANApia7AMD98n
477Please respect copyright.PENANA7HSgcGpHCe
"OK, Miss," he said as he hung up the phone.
477Please respect copyright.PENANA7CCKlWW0ka
477Please respect copyright.PENANAqDXTjHclxj
I put the phone down on the table, undressed, and went into the bathroom to take a shower; I'm leaving now; it's about seven o'clock in the evening.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAENReudOxBD
I had a flashback to Mitch. She didn't even call out to say hello. Their house is in the province, and I haven't seen her in a long time. I'm too preoccupied with my life. As a result, I sometimes neglect myself.
477Please respect copyright.PENANATqj9ZekBbK
477Please respect copyright.PENANAW7kEE51zQZ
So I decided to get out of the house and go to the city to relax. I couldn't even give my housemates free time anymore. I know they need a break as well because they work hard here at the mansion. I also provided them with excellent benefits and pay.
477Please respect copyright.PENANApVzt0un9ts
I have no issues with them because they are both courteous and dependable at work. They are both unmarried. Luciana is the only one had a child without a husband.
477Please respect copyright.PENANASweuIYsaPX
I emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my entire body.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAnRSPAffRVO
I looked for clothes that I could wear later in the day in the city.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAXAGPv4CCQW
I took my ripped jeans and binge-colored crop top. I put on light make-up and wore it. I went down the stairs before I was satisfied with my appearance. First, I went to the kitchen to take a look. And I noticed some foods that had been prepared on the table. I slice a piece of cake and ate it.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAHNXJPQXoq9
When Luciana entered the kitchen, I was drinking water.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAa6nGUvEoI9
"Please call them all, Luciana, and let us eat together," I said.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAVJLXyIKtPK
She stopped as a result of what I said. Maybe she is taken aback because I had just said that we would all share a meal. They all entered the kitchen a minute later, while I was already sitting in a chair.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAWxyHkv0vNp
"All of you sit down and eat," I order.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAXSJAR6FL9q
They took their seats one by one and began to eat.
477Please respect copyright.PENANABhDqZlrOae
477Please respect copyright.PENANAMcAZcPhHUd
"Maybe you'd like to accompany me to the city to unwind," I suggested.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAQhKnVEGvM9
477Please respect copyright.PENANAj2c6Ub9CE1
They all turned to look at me at the same time.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAnoVqjcpfi2
"All right, Miss, we'd like to try going out at night as well," Mila said.
477Please respect copyright.PENANALQkwTGi0u4
477Please respect copyright.PENANAwpL0QZ4Tka
I cracked a grin.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAiaO4B8JOqu
"OK, get dressed, and I'll meet you all outside the house," I said.
477Please respect copyright.PENANABmoBF7TeKM
477Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q7kD7y7Cq
477Please respect copyright.PENANAT9WFkaWkpX
I stood up and walked out of the kitchen. I called Randolf while I was out of the house. I called three times, but he never returned my calls. He called just as I was about to hang up the phone.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAoK7xuofJTN
477Please respect copyright.PENANAJDERWQMNES
477Please respect copyright.PENANAORdZ19hbUH
"Hello, Randolf, how are you?" I asked.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAKjOaklJPu6
477Please respect copyright.PENANAp1480LZAmF
"At home, Miss," he replied with a heavy breathing.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAOU5mvFYV9T
477Please respect copyright.PENANAypSgrpxZVw
It's as if he's been running for a long period.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAWWpdY7PrHB
I thought I blushed when I realized what Randolf was doing. I quickly hung up the phone and pressed the power button. Shit! I was suddenly embarrassed about what I had done. Why did I dial his number? When I realized he'd done something shady.
477Please respect copyright.PENANARbKCQZ8mA4
Randolf has a girlfriend who lives in the same house as him. Their relationship has been going on for four years, as far as I know. It's a good thing I never found out about his girlfriend's jealousy. Better in a relationship where there is mutual trust. I suddenly wondered, Why didn't I have a relationship? Is there something wrong with me? Is my appearance unattractive? Is there nothing unique about me? But I didn't feel insecure in the good relationships of others. I've reached this age, but the man hasn't come for me yet. I've been waiting outside the mansion, but the girls who were with me in the house have yet to come out.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAU3c7kKx3p9
477Please respect copyright.PENANAXbx6O46kyk
I also noticed that they were pushing up against the gate.
477Please respect copyright.PENANA6Syh2n5b91
"Hurry up, it's too late," I told them.
477Please respect copyright.PENANA99AnTPNR6v
As a result, they moved closer to me. I held a big car to accommodate all of us. I was able to smell their perfumes. Why do they appear to be drenched in perfume? My head shook. They weren't overjoyed at the prospect of coming out. Because I can see it on their faces, they are all wearing make-up. I started the car and drove away from my house.
477Please respect copyright.PENANA0rJyVn7Z0a
477Please respect copyright.PENANAkGcYDYUBXQ
"You should all know how to drive because if it's like this, I'll have difficulty driving because you're all heavy," I joked.
477Please respect copyright.PENANABApUNT1hbz
They were all cracking up. We've made it to town. I stopped the car on the outskirts of the plaza. We were all getting into the car and driving away. The night is cool. My eyes darted all over the place. There are still businesses open, and couples sit in cement chairs holding hands. I furrowed my brow. I was obsessed with earning money.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAjcsUeqbi05
477Please respect copyright.PENANAFOLz0RyTNV
I had no idea there was a place like this in the city. In the center of the plaza, there is a fountain. There were kids running around and groups of girls and boys dancing. I turn to face my companions, who are already sitting in a shop selling stick-pierced foods. I could see the joy on their faces. They're all nine, but I'll never forget what they're called. They brought light into my life. I was relieved that there were some people who stuck by me. That means I have a good attitude.

I was staring at them when someone grabbed my hand. When I looked at it, I noticed that the girl was unkempt. Her two hands are extended to me.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAHQKqeGy3tR
"Can I have some money? I'm hungry," she said, holding her stomach.
477Please respect copyright.PENANACowB0UcztQ
I reached into my channel bag's money pocket and handed it to her.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAh3sQKblFiS
477Please respect copyright.PENANABcqXJxZ91m
"The amount of money you gave," she said to me.
477Please respect copyright.PENANA0TpILXGPRk
477Please respect copyright.PENANAYrpxcwg2HM
"How much does that cost?"
477Please respect copyright.PENANAeS3UN0Rbl0
477Please respect copyright.PENANAbeKm0RF5TM
477Please respect copyright.PENANAngjAnBEZLp
"It's a thousand, Ma'am," the child said replied.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAbkbgdYk9Bf
477Please respect copyright.PENANAtm7JvTLfkz
477Please respect copyright.PENANA1Lp27fUG5o
I smiled as she said it.
477Please respect copyright.PENANANoilUN5BK6
"How do you know?" I asked.
477Please respect copyright.PENANA1wfDxCwDnv
477Please respect copyright.PENANA5g5J7mymbP
"I'm just dirty, but I know how to count money." She explained.
477Please respect copyright.PENANAkUa3VqasM7
I smiled. I appear to want to talk to this kid.
