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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAXh2WrZOkrJ
"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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAsq5kIkMlgn
My ten assistants all bowed in front of me. Others are still shaking in fear. Because they can see how irritated I am.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAucmoCEB0MU
Later, one of Lucianna approached me with a bow.

158Please respect copyright.PENANAWN6J19IX7J
"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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAGapbbp38WW
158Please respect copyright.PENANAqA0jVXVoUP
158Please respect copyright.PENANAgnJvUsNUWI
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAdazPFqowUH
She was trembling in fear of what I was about to do to her, I noticed.
158Please respect copyright.PENANASvMroOX3eH
"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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAT4aHrGVYmx
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9cF6L5KsJh
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmhw7pRcHu7
158Please respect copyright.PENANA5XYeTDhXzQ
158Please respect copyright.PENANAbyu4LxfQlt
"What exactly is it?" I asked him.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmkbKmgD0bw
158Please respect copyright.PENANACCb2ec6QkD
"Miss Zaneska, all of our investors have pulled their investments in us," he said over the phone, trembling.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEPeXJFTn5i
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhvsJFjzeW4
My brow furrowed in response to what I heard.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKB9MuRYzRq
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcdIZ24kRmC
"What's the reason, Randolf?" I asked.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhDUzNIzqVQ
"I'm not certain, Miss," he admits.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAfkk4cJlF09
158Please respect copyright.PENANAyJKwJFHwJP
"Fix it right away," I said.
158Please respect copyright.PENANACQo4sSVNTc
"I tried to fix it, but they need to talk to you," he says on the other end of the phone.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcF4J0YDYjR
"And why is that? You're my assistant, so you have the authority to solve the problem."
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJeIRE4nkY3
158Please respect copyright.PENANAraVz55Kj6W
"I've done everything I can, but they still refuse. Mr. Chin is even worse," he complains.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhjKKq50KhB
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1hc1hFtay3
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANACaWkKLWoTq
158Please respect copyright.PENANAgfG2SNUXhF
"Randolf, take a deep breath. I've heard your nervousness all the way up here," I said.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQoieXdxAKa
158Please respect copyright.PENANAnFqHlSIGAn
"I was suddenly afraid that you would chastise me for withdrawing their investments," he said.
158Please respect copyright.PENANANwPLm366sa
Because of what he said, I rolled my eyes.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA4BwmOfAzJr
"Aren't you used to my routine? How long have you worked with me?" I asked.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6qk4WwtaNJ
I could hear his heavy breathing on the other end of the line.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKFQxH1Zx9O
"All right, call them and set up a meeting," I said.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAt6QuNKrJC4
158Please respect copyright.PENANAvi0Lt7vVCG
"OK, Miss," he said as he hung up the phone.
158Please respect copyright.PENANADguDs3cPBx
158Please respect copyright.PENANA0wFMeTdoYn
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAdnU5PujkAT
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAiTM7M5dsFz
158Please respect copyright.PENANAWUXNspHW8F
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAvEPmIXpFQ7
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANARmVGSVPv23
I emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my entire body.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1rkPAHgrfd
I looked for clothes that I could wear later in the day in the city.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAAVHmQzEtj1
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAUdxwWjBV4t
When Luciana entered the kitchen, I was drinking water.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAQbm9cEQvhX
"Please call them all, Luciana, and let us eat together," I said.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA08zHrXV7mG
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAw8N1MnLHEr
"All of you sit down and eat," I order.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAZZQJKVPskz
They took their seats one by one and began to eat.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAq4PPZeGUg5
158Please respect copyright.PENANAKbJmFB2NvG
"Maybe you'd like to accompany me to the city to unwind," I suggested.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAkc7aTU28Xh
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6AOguFIPFX
They all turned to look at me at the same time.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6m30SxpGdF
"All right, Miss, we'd like to try going out at night as well," Mila said.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAfirSMHyDXY
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1AAq199Q1I
I cracked a grin.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA3KG11utIab
"OK, get dressed, and I'll meet you all outside the house," I said.
158Please respect copyright.PENANANkJLuM6hYJ
158Please respect copyright.PENANAJvFxJEGnSN
158Please respect copyright.PENANAy3je8P5F2X
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAVmM7DFVUlq
158Please respect copyright.PENANAY0Ehxcwjio
158Please respect copyright.PENANACZ6KUpNkLk
"Hello, Randolf, how are you?" I asked.
158Please respect copyright.PENANATWeKLcGWF0
158Please respect copyright.PENANAPqXAcLNklP
"At home, Miss," he replied with a heavy breathing.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAznDu4yL6RC
158Please respect copyright.PENANADv2aTemnoh
It's as if he's been running for a long period.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6lELtjXEZm
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAe0bmqTdAYo
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAc5cDwVhXIJ
158Please respect copyright.PENANApSll1dBCPR
I also noticed that they were pushing up against the gate.
158Please respect copyright.PENANACSfEAWRjBo
"Hurry up, it's too late," I told them.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAvnaT3G9Z8k
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAEOoVDXOoVi
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmYfA2WlXXa
"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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAwcZXm3YY5f
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA7D2RF9rFTb
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lpe6Blamq
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.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAfsGfXxBs7B
"Can I have some money? I'm hungry," she said, holding her stomach.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAhA1umKIUnT
I reached into my channel bag's money pocket and handed it to her.
158Please respect copyright.PENANA1ktsA3oFFK
158Please respect copyright.PENANA5vzlSJJPWA
"The amount of money you gave," she said to me.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAI7co8bssHN
158Please respect copyright.PENANAe3bDw9wg96
"How much does that cost?"
158Please respect copyright.PENANAYd0nLBo023
158Please respect copyright.PENANA6H5uWu1N63
158Please respect copyright.PENANACkwp3TZkWa
"It's a thousand, Ma'am," the child said replied.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAtxatQyeA3Q
158Please respect copyright.PENANAmxGligRnaf
158Please respect copyright.PENANAcOWWFESuqD
I smiled as she said it.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxSZSpHNVNo
"How do you know?" I asked.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAxczg4v8Onq
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9vJ90FkoDn
"I'm just dirty, but I know how to count money." She explained.
158Please respect copyright.PENANAg6PGIjdxro
I smiled. I appear to want to talk to this kid.
