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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAFzEE4Ai4B1
"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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANA77dsJiO9Bb
My ten assistants all bowed in front of me. Others are still shaking in fear. Because they can see how irritated I am.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAxzl2JL0JTH
Later, one of Lucianna approached me with a bow.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAwReaLih8Yl
474Please respect copyright.PENANAThFkMzYQ2p
474Please respect copyright.PENANASwvfFgsfyU
"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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANA96z3uXogyI
474Please respect copyright.PENANAMJloBA3pE7
474Please respect copyright.PENANADzhLvqhXyS
My hair suddenly stood on end.
474Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xaizt4OZf
474Please respect copyright.PENANAChzEBYsQWD
474Please respect copyright.PENANAscDsLprtCY
"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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAbB6i2w1ZAN
She was trembling in fear of what I was about to do to her, I noticed.
474Please respect copyright.PENANA0zN97mqiVS
"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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAq9o83q9McX
474Please respect copyright.PENANApgwg9PIu55
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAv3zmbOdqFP
474Please respect copyright.PENANAZR4iszgd8b
474Please respect copyright.PENANA3EsvtY0tgn
"What exactly is it?" I asked him.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAVBNrUadjXs
474Please respect copyright.PENANARcEOAu9ZNJ
"Miss Zaneska, all of our investors have pulled their investments in us," he said over the phone, trembling.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAGOlLfaSPHL
474Please respect copyright.PENANA3KcsyivJuB
My brow furrowed in response to what I heard.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAgmz3XTMdp9
474Please respect copyright.PENANAEqjojZAv1V
"What's the reason, Randolf?" I asked.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAFZGkJ6pLxz
"I'm not certain, Miss," he admits.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAaTB78Y6fbP
474Please respect copyright.PENANAHBpmi9b6ys
"Fix it right away," I said.
474Please respect copyright.PENANA3fZ6znppJy
"I tried to fix it, but they need to talk to you," he says on the other end of the phone.
474Please respect copyright.PENANASs2wTlvq9F
"And why is that? You're my assistant, so you have the authority to solve the problem."
474Please respect copyright.PENANAAJgcT3VNTS
474Please respect copyright.PENANAUWfM2U4oXU
"I've done everything I can, but they still refuse. Mr. Chin is even worse," he complains.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAM8JRs2GW4X
474Please respect copyright.PENANAoxFuZxglkc
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANATE6h7Vi5GP
474Please respect copyright.PENANADl8Fijzd3n
"Randolf, take a deep breath. I've heard your nervousness all the way up here," I said.
474Please respect copyright.PENANADW05Tbckf8
474Please respect copyright.PENANAP3AKtvUITS
"I was suddenly afraid that you would chastise me for withdrawing their investments," he said.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAqKqoPoEs0x
Because of what he said, I rolled my eyes.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAzAiK8ZRcOL
"Aren't you used to my routine? How long have you worked with me?" I asked.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAhDARDqgpiw
I could hear his heavy breathing on the other end of the line.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAminjk8qm5S
"All right, call them and set up a meeting," I said.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAZme7xpSPpR
474Please respect copyright.PENANACuP9fMxGRs
"OK, Miss," he said as he hung up the phone.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAkNzoNNr4la
474Please respect copyright.PENANAsPVl6ErOD0
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAidanCwsJme
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAoZIIEFztAN
474Please respect copyright.PENANAcBZXCVQmxo
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANACeQLL8dntU
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAS47lQdxr3z
I emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my entire body.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3yscRZozt
I looked for clothes that I could wear later in the day in the city.
474Please respect copyright.PENANA6DKH6GkINo
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAJXZnA0zdPD
When Luciana entered the kitchen, I was drinking water.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAUCnzjHLtiV
"Please call them all, Luciana, and let us eat together," I said.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAXUianl0Ufq
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANA7K2pDSBmD8
"All of you sit down and eat," I order.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAZB2nzv2i0m
They took their seats one by one and began to eat.
474Please respect copyright.PENANA3DPpA2yoBd
474Please respect copyright.PENANAYmbMt6sgCg
"Maybe you'd like to accompany me to the city to unwind," I suggested.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAP592M8LUE5
474Please respect copyright.PENANAWPgKuc0RFl
They all turned to look at me at the same time.
474Please respect copyright.PENANANOYZaMiKkz
"All right, Miss, we'd like to try going out at night as well," Mila said.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAyvneCRKjRB
474Please respect copyright.PENANABqI8pHGftB
I cracked a grin.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAW1FnIfWzQq
"OK, get dressed, and I'll meet you all outside the house," I said.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAPz9R2KwtQc
474Please respect copyright.PENANAGn85UWaw3Q
474Please respect copyright.PENANAgRPnuphJUN
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANA95hhJzSraC
474Please respect copyright.PENANAutb4V8ReYU
474Please respect copyright.PENANApahTkNOL3S
"Hello, Randolf, how are you?" I asked.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAMaQMspVHLX
474Please respect copyright.PENANAEclHPwOiJ2
"At home, Miss," he replied with a heavy breathing.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAEWRsmjQ9dt
474Please respect copyright.PENANAW6abiNZHJi
It's as if he's been running for a long period.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAwScPYF0doD
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAX0V4QSNqjO
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAgYm69IfjKM
474Please respect copyright.PENANAJvWezF8FBE
I also noticed that they were pushing up against the gate.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAIRyaIbuBhr
"Hurry up, it's too late," I told them.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAVLUnTSnHuD
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANARPmICTd47r
474Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wx4NsqZeL
"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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAqLgEgoI9Uy
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAvDpSZN476O
474Please respect copyright.PENANA6b0wrVZHu6
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.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAIwBUDyOQXn
"Can I have some money? I'm hungry," she said, holding her stomach.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAOTatxmSkIT
I reached into my channel bag's money pocket and handed it to her.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAUAa3RWuIjG
474Please respect copyright.PENANAtW0h6OTDT0
"The amount of money you gave," she said to me.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAsddW8LYk80
474Please respect copyright.PENANACD6q8QbBbO
"How much does that cost?"
474Please respect copyright.PENANAXmTufGkgug
474Please respect copyright.PENANA2arAGmr64i
474Please respect copyright.PENANAxjz3yoXRGV
"It's a thousand, Ma'am," the child said replied.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAKtpsdreE9R
474Please respect copyright.PENANA981dSg6wp9
474Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ch151bhcp
I smiled as she said it.
474Please respect copyright.PENANACT2UmJM8ad
"How do you know?" I asked.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAJqH4DGlmXj
474Please respect copyright.PENANAQNyw0bEmSD
"I'm just dirty, but I know how to count money." She explained.
474Please respect copyright.PENANAXZCxEfXzX5
I smiled. I appear to want to talk to this kid.
