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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAiumMCWBhs6
"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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAYIJ99opxDf
My ten assistants all bowed in front of me. Others are still shaking in fear. Because they can see how irritated I am.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAe16WsFrQId
Later, one of Lucianna approached me with a bow.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1INbb8gc9V
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8XUIXTDMm6
632Please respect copyright.PENANANpbV2w2BVi
"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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAMsb87rQjuH
632Please respect copyright.PENANAGf2taJmZbs
632Please respect copyright.PENANAv1eTgeqdbw
My hair suddenly stood on end.

"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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAS79CeAyHnC
She was trembling in fear of what I was about to do to her, I noticed.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAmHusfVjU3N
"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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAzvX7aFG0RS
632Please respect copyright.PENANAkD2ZIzEmpU
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA7QZOlOqTLK
632Please respect copyright.PENANAHTop4MFffH
632Please respect copyright.PENANAiwUpBTa4Rt
"What exactly is it?" I asked him.
632Please respect copyright.PENANADYipYjCjPa
632Please respect copyright.PENANALHracu1PMf
"Miss Zaneska, all of our investors have pulled their investments in us," he said over the phone, trembling.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1LHmFJ661b
632Please respect copyright.PENANACNXBh0sX18
My brow furrowed in response to what I heard.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAz13Z8b5TYq
632Please respect copyright.PENANAcJj6KqgLef
"What's the reason, Randolf?" I asked.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAfcvbvP9W3N
"I'm not certain, Miss," he admits.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA6yBlnAfnfc
632Please respect copyright.PENANAMunvGDUFMg
"Fix it right away," I said.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAXk3V6rgTEf
"I tried to fix it, but they need to talk to you," he says on the other end of the phone.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAPti683tbQ0
"And why is that? You're my assistant, so you have the authority to solve the problem."
632Please respect copyright.PENANAnkZFx9Ssky
632Please respect copyright.PENANA0lR2da9m2B
"I've done everything I can, but they still refuse. Mr. Chin is even worse," he complains.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAB3D47ffQ2e
632Please respect copyright.PENANAV44vLeT6Au
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANApOfifW6HtH
632Please respect copyright.PENANALABMAFz7XR
"Randolf, take a deep breath. I've heard your nervousness all the way up here," I said.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAuiSaaq6jc5
632Please respect copyright.PENANAr6pdGuaZnR
"I was suddenly afraid that you would chastise me for withdrawing their investments," he said.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAqGuFcOB06z
Because of what he said, I rolled my eyes.
632Please respect copyright.PENANATP7rkgMbKU
"Aren't you used to my routine? How long have you worked with me?" I asked.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA5F1GEAIQte
I could hear his heavy breathing on the other end of the line.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA2zRxDeZwEb
"All right, call them and set up a meeting," I said.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA7gxtdmw7Ht
632Please respect copyright.PENANA4xOpw2tTQr
"OK, Miss," he said as he hung up the phone.
632Please respect copyright.PENANArnCo3skXqR
632Please respect copyright.PENANADnRxAR0Oah
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAuwa1ihB5Th
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAJl3sggpiCY
632Please respect copyright.PENANAH3kw2VNQYM
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAS8eQTR96yr
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANABxY0fMHpm5
I emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my entire body.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAkJkz5wYeAH
I looked for clothes that I could wear later in the day in the city.
632Please respect copyright.PENANApzTxLirtds
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANARfIlkoKLng
When Luciana entered the kitchen, I was drinking water.
632Please respect copyright.PENANANER8Y3ghma
"Please call them all, Luciana, and let us eat together," I said.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAzIQPMi5WqI
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAgSk9j5rlnX
"All of you sit down and eat," I order.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA9paB9nNJ4h
They took their seats one by one and began to eat.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8Oa07q4br
632Please respect copyright.PENANAGmy8MK158l
"Maybe you'd like to accompany me to the city to unwind," I suggested.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA2e3sKSNqka
632Please respect copyright.PENANAR5BSgbcAJf
They all turned to look at me at the same time.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAd4JmORgDgv
"All right, Miss, we'd like to try going out at night as well," Mila said.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAJCwNQMruKO
632Please respect copyright.PENANAwVCTm560pC
I cracked a grin.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAucrae3Tsf6
"OK, get dressed, and I'll meet you all outside the house," I said.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAYyaOp0nrrs
632Please respect copyright.PENANATMiGcyHaOA
632Please respect copyright.PENANAiCGU9B60RE
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA59hkeKwvJu
632Please respect copyright.PENANAfakI3kudEr
632Please respect copyright.PENANACEN9Zkxr2K
"Hello, Randolf, how are you?" I asked.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAXAa54iQKUo
632Please respect copyright.PENANACpUGWxDtdm
"At home, Miss," he replied with a heavy breathing.
632Please respect copyright.PENANALZfvleqJ5t
632Please respect copyright.PENANApfpt9N5tkN
It's as if he's been running for a long period.
632Please respect copyright.PENANArkkJmfUG5L
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAwrTC8gX0Cl
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAcE63EpnG2G
632Please respect copyright.PENANANacaL8KyVf
I also noticed that they were pushing up against the gate.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA31Gqk3wc7o
"Hurry up, it's too late," I told them.
632Please respect copyright.PENANABwQoJfRckh
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAM1HUVTBJYd
632Please respect copyright.PENANABc0tufijbw
"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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1mFA5trd4S
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANASrndOrrnsB
632Please respect copyright.PENANAXan5AQJb6b
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAOcCy61ejht
"Can I have some money? I'm hungry," she said, holding her stomach.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAYaZ6QTUFdv
I reached into my channel bag's money pocket and handed it to her.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAaLpzll3Zpz
632Please respect copyright.PENANAiXYKEJvZkH
"The amount of money you gave," she said to me.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAGMGk5ZbWpz
632Please respect copyright.PENANAWgBRuZ0dIP
"How much does that cost?"
632Please respect copyright.PENANASCXYt1TeSs
632Please respect copyright.PENANADbcOR1QY2U
632Please respect copyright.PENANAhiDK5l7pLR
"It's a thousand, Ma'am," the child said replied.
632Please respect copyright.PENANArS0UHqiArI
632Please respect copyright.PENANAdUgAA3tacz
632Please respect copyright.PENANAFrubca7CtD
I smiled as she said it.
632Please respect copyright.PENANApOAs1TGgL9
"How do you know?" I asked.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAkM3AMm6XKI
632Please respect copyright.PENANAic1kTz4mDt
"I'm just dirty, but I know how to count money." She explained.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAds8pMPGUId
I smiled. I appear to want to talk to this kid.
