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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAWplA0AWxml
"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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAEZBRcilrgj
My ten assistants all bowed in front of me. Others are still shaking in fear. Because they can see how irritated I am.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAxeXeDLi1p1
Later, one of Lucianna approached me with a bow.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ9d92M1Tg
516Please respect copyright.PENANAoHdy3gEnX9
516Please respect copyright.PENANAKurrM3fXeo
"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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANACVuvTgjd9X
516Please respect copyright.PENANAB9pVlSnqKH
516Please respect copyright.PENANAJdfNqux8gr
My hair suddenly stood on end.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAI4jGsUQEFi
516Please respect copyright.PENANAtqfEHpVw3f
516Please respect copyright.PENANAgvnkUphNd8
"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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAeo4KoHSQny
She was trembling in fear of what I was about to do to her, I noticed.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAHTTwWQqxhO
"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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAF0pr3pIEvY
516Please respect copyright.PENANAhzaPoanEFm
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANA0tlNmwMai0
516Please respect copyright.PENANAPIbRtLNesM
516Please respect copyright.PENANAMCnbeeyPuS
"What exactly is it?" I asked him.
516Please respect copyright.PENANA3u8BbDTpU6
516Please respect copyright.PENANALkoQ5DX4SN
"Miss Zaneska, all of our investors have pulled their investments in us," he said over the phone, trembling.
516Please respect copyright.PENANATjaTbpc8Sn
516Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZUlCke0um
My brow furrowed in response to what I heard.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAnjTNKrsHm0
516Please respect copyright.PENANAcbIfmDaX9W
"What's the reason, Randolf?" I asked.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAsqytR34tOy
"I'm not certain, Miss," he admits.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAyKpcICwa0i
516Please respect copyright.PENANA9hNqkJarTG
"Fix it right away," I said.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAecYEPO1bzr
"I tried to fix it, but they need to talk to you," he says on the other end of the phone.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAVgdrdXJOqs
"And why is that? You're my assistant, so you have the authority to solve the problem."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAZjQYBhkEeO
516Please respect copyright.PENANAIerABxUVPZ
"I've done everything I can, but they still refuse. Mr. Chin is even worse," he complains.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAtRIy8mV0YN
516Please respect copyright.PENANAaSfTXCNpoO
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAygfQEmVzKh
516Please respect copyright.PENANAe5eiThVvwQ
"Randolf, take a deep breath. I've heard your nervousness all the way up here," I said.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAztKXdKI8hS
516Please respect copyright.PENANACa81GfC2dW
"I was suddenly afraid that you would chastise me for withdrawing their investments," he said.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAuPCc0mYubv
Because of what he said, I rolled my eyes.
516Please respect copyright.PENANATS6IB7eQTT
"Aren't you used to my routine? How long have you worked with me?" I asked.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAqsvBz7cuVB
I could hear his heavy breathing on the other end of the line.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAl78eB1Kebv
"All right, call them and set up a meeting," I said.
516Please respect copyright.PENANALDbxIhpQ6r
516Please respect copyright.PENANAcnhnbvOfzh
"OK, Miss," he said as he hung up the phone.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAQXtWCj233E
516Please respect copyright.PENANAYgGLt7ldKa
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAMZZKEFUaTu
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAnuE5YcDL2Y
516Please respect copyright.PENANAqP7pZoCQrg
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAFHA0EFA2zA
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAlxwHqNMcn7
I emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my entire body.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAuZzQDwgLO9
I looked for clothes that I could wear later in the day in the city.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAPPcXSzwMK1
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAStiO9rApvy
When Luciana entered the kitchen, I was drinking water.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAucylBE5wWc
"Please call them all, Luciana, and let us eat together," I said.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAyNsuvr8mZV
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANA0PwZTiHDqQ
"All of you sit down and eat," I order.
516Please respect copyright.PENANALuU6fABEtU
They took their seats one by one and began to eat.
516Please respect copyright.PENANACSiXqvf6EN
516Please respect copyright.PENANAOWKPcubcAK
"Maybe you'd like to accompany me to the city to unwind," I suggested.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAPgjpaltUp5
516Please respect copyright.PENANAA5t8qdJhXo
They all turned to look at me at the same time.
516Please respect copyright.PENANANE2lbLEFqY
"All right, Miss, we'd like to try going out at night as well," Mila said.
516Please respect copyright.PENANATIQ6ynQHG2
516Please respect copyright.PENANATiglVg05dF
I cracked a grin.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAZz6aBSZFbc
"OK, get dressed, and I'll meet you all outside the house," I said.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAKf1NvUXall
516Please respect copyright.PENANA3IZoFzvRkZ
516Please respect copyright.PENANAMy6uzu2jus
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAkWh76Wm4cz
516Please respect copyright.PENANAQhfwMSDrrx
516Please respect copyright.PENANA85Xmw1dGqr
"Hello, Randolf, how are you?" I asked.
516Please respect copyright.PENANA1KGLC7XKS2
516Please respect copyright.PENANAjGm0JupHMh
"At home, Miss," he replied with a heavy breathing.
516Please respect copyright.PENANA2u9EJiflS0
516Please respect copyright.PENANAjRXPXsohtF
It's as if he's been running for a long period.
516Please respect copyright.PENANALyLtavCFrF
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAfHRN0tDT85
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAD9T16KnYYu
516Please respect copyright.PENANADdf88hPv62
I also noticed that they were pushing up against the gate.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAOEIl1sJaIs
"Hurry up, it's too late," I told them.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAMHmci3quSu
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAYB9R3tqn7W
516Please respect copyright.PENANAEeaAEvFRJO
"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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAwcJy77Dejy
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAtCIZqEhWja
516Please respect copyright.PENANAleiavgcnI8
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANARvJZo6FYDp
"Can I have some money? I'm hungry," she said, holding her stomach.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAK3wF50pYtK
I reached into my channel bag's money pocket and handed it to her.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAipU1wYnYXc
516Please respect copyright.PENANAe6vRcKJNy0
"The amount of money you gave," she said to me.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAoRVK3pDxmM
516Please respect copyright.PENANAHRb53ZQJER
"How much does that cost?"
516Please respect copyright.PENANAkNh3rrhKD8
516Please respect copyright.PENANAvAtPQ2oxGX
516Please respect copyright.PENANAJdtKQRiG5Y
"It's a thousand, Ma'am," the child said replied.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAjyLAvjB4yA
516Please respect copyright.PENANA5ClsaufL3f
516Please respect copyright.PENANAFWciiaga6u
I smiled as she said it.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAPsBu7D1Hbm
"How do you know?" I asked.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAj7Q7H0rwAp
516Please respect copyright.PENANADo3QDXLyZW
"I'm just dirty, but I know how to count money." She explained.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAy3gvWpBLcE
I smiled. I appear to want to talk to this kid.
