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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAMEOlagbEQi
"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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAA2SjibfawU
My ten assistants all bowed in front of me. Others are still shaking in fear. Because they can see how irritated I am.
161Please respect copyright.PENANATVxhrYEVKj
Later, one of Lucianna approached me with a bow.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZ13cQGsjVe
161Please respect copyright.PENANANxBmMqQLKG
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXbY84xTjn6
"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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAD0AFwYXpZx
161Please respect copyright.PENANAfcrpQHXd7i
161Please respect copyright.PENANAtPaygrJ45F
My hair suddenly stood on end.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA7PtbVl1NH1
161Please respect copyright.PENANAQqYWeJbf0m
161Please respect copyright.PENANAgq0qkpDU81
"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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANADlWmomNvOw
She was trembling in fear of what I was about to do to her, I noticed.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcW3occMYx3
"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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANARchcMmcWwA
161Please respect copyright.PENANAlhYfyOLgzW
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA3AifPLPZc7
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUn7mfEDF13
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZx3SBb6i1d
"What exactly is it?" I asked him.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6VMNxb77mS
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGiB4IztWd7
"Miss Zaneska, all of our investors have pulled their investments in us," he said over the phone, trembling.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAFH2mAjPImL
161Please respect copyright.PENANADVnCTank5k
My brow furrowed in response to what I heard.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOGwxXReCcS
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsSTpzIiioe
"What's the reason, Randolf?" I asked.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAzH2vjvHbBO
"I'm not certain, Miss," he admits.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAnKr93lav00
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsseLWjpTqk
"Fix it right away," I said.
161Please respect copyright.PENANANTNzGcUYny
"I tried to fix it, but they need to talk to you," he says on the other end of the phone.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAYKHBy1E3gn
"And why is that? You're my assistant, so you have the authority to solve the problem."
161Please respect copyright.PENANAqJMe88fuCi
161Please respect copyright.PENANAANrRtDV2Lb
"I've done everything I can, but they still refuse. Mr. Chin is even worse," he complains.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1zxnH7gtqA
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvmNPAM3Uox
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmfLHrfVm91
161Please respect copyright.PENANAm3zAMFSZcI
"Randolf, take a deep breath. I've heard your nervousness all the way up here," I said.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAW8mowgfY5A
161Please respect copyright.PENANAKs9i7Nb65K
"I was suddenly afraid that you would chastise me for withdrawing their investments," he said.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAo1mRrFuZNa
Because of what he said, I rolled my eyes.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAFW3Z9BHICq
"Aren't you used to my routine? How long have you worked with me?" I asked.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAh5lYswPTu3
I could hear his heavy breathing on the other end of the line.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAd2dMbiUf6r
"All right, call them and set up a meeting," I said.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmkqRouGEvp
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2EXQNlGjrl
"OK, Miss," he said as he hung up the phone.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvR1CKaCPxn
161Please respect copyright.PENANAzFl8oapIp6
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHsFHhiz7ov
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAX7MelrzVrv
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGdS4joolNy
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvZlExwUIdd
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANATRUyhWpj0l
I emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my entire body.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAxyu4vyO9nW
I looked for clothes that I could wear later in the day in the city.
161Please respect copyright.PENANATZxj8hbCOd
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANABK60Men2GX
When Luciana entered the kitchen, I was drinking water.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAH0Id4F9THy
"Please call them all, Luciana, and let us eat together," I said.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAo7FAZbgDfz
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANABNOUymK4ro
"All of you sit down and eat," I order.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA4X0ZDlfH9j
They took their seats one by one and began to eat.
161Please respect copyright.PENANABOOoieqnvH
161Please respect copyright.PENANAbeJk8Hcvai
"Maybe you'd like to accompany me to the city to unwind," I suggested.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvKfM0Zil7E
161Please respect copyright.PENANAi7ZhpGqUof
They all turned to look at me at the same time.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcjaKFddiDX
"All right, Miss, we'd like to try going out at night as well," Mila said.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA0O0pxHaIdF
161Please respect copyright.PENANAmqT6NpjzSz
I cracked a grin.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pn0jZONLJ
"OK, get dressed, and I'll meet you all outside the house," I said.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA3YUTMmWjAI
161Please respect copyright.PENANAw69UyHiNQ9
161Please respect copyright.PENANAea8ogiACrQ
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJzttnq0zC2
161Please respect copyright.PENANAYFFnwdLxoU
161Please respect copyright.PENANAlHABM5Oqlj
"Hello, Randolf, how are you?" I asked.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5CtzaYLGJ
161Please respect copyright.PENANA7QSz9glb1a
"At home, Miss," he replied with a heavy breathing.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAfQe1HPfqXU
161Please respect copyright.PENANARQRHcAa28l
It's as if he's been running for a long period.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAf42md8r8jp
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkbD27H6m1B
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2VkDHBWCJc
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOx0n7RW9zA
I also noticed that they were pushing up against the gate.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGui7anloTN
"Hurry up, it's too late," I told them.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjaKtzmnjk1
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjfs7IhUkgx
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcf3G3NX2JO
"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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOsmduIkVvE
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANADkGmBVxaye
161Please respect copyright.PENANA3JJMlkoc3Q
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAqtRsXdtj0a
"Can I have some money? I'm hungry," she said, holding her stomach.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAx8XDOzUEvL
I reached into my channel bag's money pocket and handed it to her.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAY0HG6DUxEK
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdEDCXOdt1u
"The amount of money you gave," she said to me.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAiP7qFXqpny
161Please respect copyright.PENANAka5AYFe5tu
"How much does that cost?"
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGVLlsMyDeC
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHKIBWP9lty
161Please respect copyright.PENANA7YbzzRVl7s
"It's a thousand, Ma'am," the child said replied.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAAmC0AslZgb
161Please respect copyright.PENANA9JazPeFJsh
161Please respect copyright.PENANA0oiQ94vu7A
I smiled as she said it.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2tITMLn04g
"How do you know?" I asked.
161Please respect copyright.PENANARDRNRS923F
161Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9ZLwrzstM
"I'm just dirty, but I know how to count money." She explained.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA9OFm0omUHa
I smiled. I appear to want to talk to this kid.
