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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA04mjUMSi6J
"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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA83dDFEfbPp
My ten assistants all bowed in front of me. Others are still shaking in fear. Because they can see how irritated I am.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAV3LVpYTUmY
Later, one of Lucianna approached me with a bow.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAHTrqY5LOS6
292Please respect copyright.PENANAih0fFq3xUP
292Please respect copyright.PENANAYW6nLCa5M5
"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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAG4izneKjTq
292Please respect copyright.PENANAyZIscWl5bN
292Please respect copyright.PENANAchlsMSZIci
My hair suddenly stood on end.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAIAtnrQeCjc
292Please respect copyright.PENANADYHj9RzHB8
292Please respect copyright.PENANAHmAFYQaRoD
"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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANACaGj1zM9z4
She was trembling in fear of what I was about to do to her, I noticed.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAVT1kgEvwat
"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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA7dZ7ITZ0Yz
292Please respect copyright.PENANAgncS9ZPz7Y
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAgv7xi8ptsE
292Please respect copyright.PENANAtiTk1qQRZg
292Please respect copyright.PENANAN53izSu1Uc
"What exactly is it?" I asked him.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAyMNARCEEcm
292Please respect copyright.PENANAHaaamf7LXt
"Miss Zaneska, all of our investors have pulled their investments in us," he said over the phone, trembling.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAsE6oAizb4L
292Please respect copyright.PENANAvo7FPCNElC
My brow furrowed in response to what I heard.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAq9RlgJcnvw
292Please respect copyright.PENANAoKh11z8XdS
"What's the reason, Randolf?" I asked.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAOlT1Htq3TF
"I'm not certain, Miss," he admits.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA3SH3LSS9rs
292Please respect copyright.PENANA4ttI4ambJg
"Fix it right away," I said.
292Please respect copyright.PENANADqOuWNquBL
"I tried to fix it, but they need to talk to you," he says on the other end of the phone.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAHOWd1ISlNg
"And why is that? You're my assistant, so you have the authority to solve the problem."
292Please respect copyright.PENANAz5GrUomtxj
292Please respect copyright.PENANAi0QUN74iuo
"I've done everything I can, but they still refuse. Mr. Chin is even worse," he complains.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAIerUdTqNlk
292Please respect copyright.PENANAbrpYczmbhq
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAth1dXaHWp9
292Please respect copyright.PENANAScnUtAwOl0
"Randolf, take a deep breath. I've heard your nervousness all the way up here," I said.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0ld2kNfDE
292Please respect copyright.PENANArApWwv9Ixa
"I was suddenly afraid that you would chastise me for withdrawing their investments," he said.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAjPkumiweQg
Because of what he said, I rolled my eyes.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA0m2tDXrCGm
"Aren't you used to my routine? How long have you worked with me?" I asked.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA69xwihessK
I could hear his heavy breathing on the other end of the line.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAAQMN9wlAB3
"All right, call them and set up a meeting," I said.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAjxiBMiOwtZ
292Please respect copyright.PENANAa81aaDkQuY
"OK, Miss," he said as he hung up the phone.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAWpRjJknY5f
292Please respect copyright.PENANA7QSDeC3tos
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANARCmYmAdZXD
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANANcGQJCtEmH
292Please respect copyright.PENANAkeD40PqsqX
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA63l1NJdj1A
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAXigfymcFMQ
I emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my entire body.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAt2WfVcantQ
I looked for clothes that I could wear later in the day in the city.
292Please respect copyright.PENANATCpzGj8IwQ
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAurkERS6nss
When Luciana entered the kitchen, I was drinking water.
292Please respect copyright.PENANATnxefWx0ed
"Please call them all, Luciana, and let us eat together," I said.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAd7nr2hQGad
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAV8vEesZk7j
"All of you sit down and eat," I order.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAvG5rsPMslw
They took their seats one by one and began to eat.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAcIZVQXkV42
292Please respect copyright.PENANAph7Jx4F1xh
"Maybe you'd like to accompany me to the city to unwind," I suggested.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAehXSs29S91
292Please respect copyright.PENANA0QLdFaBjOE
They all turned to look at me at the same time.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAjoxWblPurv
"All right, Miss, we'd like to try going out at night as well," Mila said.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAYjk51qJlEG
292Please respect copyright.PENANA934J5ecCPz
I cracked a grin.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAnty5oAV1sz
"OK, get dressed, and I'll meet you all outside the house," I said.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAoZHZ2e4viL
292Please respect copyright.PENANAmYhQuyvhEP
292Please respect copyright.PENANAOo6oOtmHKQ
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAXJrkIYDFM8
292Please respect copyright.PENANAFwl2AOlyab
292Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ0Z5lRcCL
"Hello, Randolf, how are you?" I asked.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAGsqv2gfmb1
292Please respect copyright.PENANAlz047ZxBJQ
"At home, Miss," he replied with a heavy breathing.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA7OQYM2ouAe
292Please respect copyright.PENANAPHCHfPPxF6
It's as if he's been running for a long period.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAwBNKHqy1oz
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA9NQIEa3WDr
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAA3uxPwKxME
292Please respect copyright.PENANAtC0MK6JooS
I also noticed that they were pushing up against the gate.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAZEldQFYDNw
"Hurry up, it's too late," I told them.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAzzFxnnCqsw
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAlgLXtu4fBW
292Please respect copyright.PENANAw7wCPygfrH
"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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAk6h3PPy1iR
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANATAlDsI4e7B
292Please respect copyright.PENANA3pt2dwqpfQ
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAXbRr8JPMAU
"Can I have some money? I'm hungry," she said, holding her stomach.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAmJrnSw1pGT
I reached into my channel bag's money pocket and handed it to her.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAPltzhCeJHe
292Please respect copyright.PENANAOAK3Bxwr2v
"The amount of money you gave," she said to me.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAZFc2UprQDL
292Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1JqYICnan
"How much does that cost?"
292Please respect copyright.PENANAYhWjaWjK0U
292Please respect copyright.PENANAdcg4wSSUVR
292Please respect copyright.PENANAnqgJeve7UN
"It's a thousand, Ma'am," the child said replied.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA6LagAYd7MZ
292Please respect copyright.PENANAjK1nLX0BZ3
292Please respect copyright.PENANArlI2brWddN
I smiled as she said it.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAoXKRVbAvI0
"How do you know?" I asked.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAlpcPvghFnB
292Please respect copyright.PENANAsNDYwlhYuZ
"I'm just dirty, but I know how to count money." She explained.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAk3pvQ0urHr
I smiled. I appear to want to talk to this kid.
