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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANACy8APPvTkX
"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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAxJfl6atzsS
My ten assistants all bowed in front of me. Others are still shaking in fear. Because they can see how irritated I am.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkkKNRpKIJw
Later, one of Lucianna approached me with a bow.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAntBfa2cils
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzfvIogc9cC
522Please respect copyright.PENANAmP79Q9TFsm
"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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAppKs0LloXB
522Please respect copyright.PENANAyivURKdS0E
522Please respect copyright.PENANA6xMqxLTXgd
My hair suddenly stood on end.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7IfbEohAsl
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPX9Mc41keu
522Please respect copyright.PENANAETXpSOZaV2
"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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4gmrpkNxju
She was trembling in fear of what I was about to do to her, I noticed.
522Please respect copyright.PENANARUvlt8DHSE
"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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAq6euAaBAnr
522Please respect copyright.PENANAC5aLG5kUDK
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAP9xjj3UjIl
522Please respect copyright.PENANADnIyv37c2l
522Please respect copyright.PENANAhp3mGJjr6x
"What exactly is it?" I asked him.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOVU52L6OhQ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1UgYzEX5W
"Miss Zaneska, all of our investors have pulled their investments in us," he said over the phone, trembling.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzRBAQfSVYV
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFvyZj8ftbC
My brow furrowed in response to what I heard.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAiS2vPxNYWz
522Please respect copyright.PENANAH8iuIWoEDw
"What's the reason, Randolf?" I asked.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAX2ou5PD3zv
"I'm not certain, Miss," he admits.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjsOCpkKGCf
522Please respect copyright.PENANAvzDuDeXR6a
"Fix it right away," I said.
522Please respect copyright.PENANABuzhouf1fC
"I tried to fix it, but they need to talk to you," he says on the other end of the phone.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAucLnoy4Bne
"And why is that? You're my assistant, so you have the authority to solve the problem."
522Please respect copyright.PENANAeEd6t10mxD
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMALP0mp8Hc
"I've done everything I can, but they still refuse. Mr. Chin is even worse," he complains.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA58Tu2DbNe6
522Please respect copyright.PENANAuvBZi2ErUy
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgB5q5a1MUH
522Please respect copyright.PENANA8v29iptlxC
"Randolf, take a deep breath. I've heard your nervousness all the way up here," I said.
522Please respect copyright.PENANADBlUTD0GeV
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkjx4ZrbQGe
"I was suddenly afraid that you would chastise me for withdrawing their investments," he said.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMLEyYrFNcN
Because of what he said, I rolled my eyes.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA84SS47hgXg
"Aren't you used to my routine? How long have you worked with me?" I asked.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA8BGMdmj9VE
I could hear his heavy breathing on the other end of the line.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjuXoSuu9BH
"All right, call them and set up a meeting," I said.
522Please respect copyright.PENANArpRPh4AKev
522Please respect copyright.PENANAbTyEXxoRkP
"OK, Miss," he said as he hung up the phone.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFpQ7y5EVvd
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtlNWVtFuQR
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAUhbJJhcmAt
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAB2kBsIqLg1
522Please respect copyright.PENANAcnRCig0dKx
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAmbppwnUYh0
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwoKptP4Jdg
I emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my entire body.
522Please respect copyright.PENANASwyotn0GB1
I looked for clothes that I could wear later in the day in the city.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7rLpk4Qb68
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAVe746X3Uoo
When Luciana entered the kitchen, I was drinking water.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAT9A2tYw18Q
"Please call them all, Luciana, and let us eat together," I said.
522Please respect copyright.PENANABMvPlfcGMq
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAvtmTW3tk7T
"All of you sit down and eat," I order.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgHoBEbriCk
They took their seats one by one and began to eat.
522Please respect copyright.PENANApQAxgqC8Ha
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFEdGRhWV3b
"Maybe you'd like to accompany me to the city to unwind," I suggested.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA6E1ZRxNLYF
522Please respect copyright.PENANAGE1JokAYn9
They all turned to look at me at the same time.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAGbwyzwGOht
"All right, Miss, we'd like to try going out at night as well," Mila said.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAddEAesSlnS
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMZDIvxZ8kp
I cracked a grin.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZec4YpOHdQ
"OK, get dressed, and I'll meet you all outside the house," I said.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAEr97a9xhTD
522Please respect copyright.PENANAObUxtf2aDQ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAJizU82Z9LA
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAU15AqWV1Ei
522Please respect copyright.PENANArHYfgEKIjV
522Please respect copyright.PENANANUss4p15zL
"Hello, Randolf, how are you?" I asked.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAots3Yb9RSD
522Please respect copyright.PENANAUhRAI5IWeG
"At home, Miss," he replied with a heavy breathing.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA5uLAtd5gtA
522Please respect copyright.PENANAbXht6UcKu9
It's as if he's been running for a long period.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAApkM1dlSWk
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANArX68znkmHJ
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANANCzXQ10fxQ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAd3PGofFl75
I also noticed that they were pushing up against the gate.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAQIl7u9TLrW
"Hurry up, it's too late," I told them.
522Please respect copyright.PENANALpfleore4C
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANASkh0yoIm04
522Please respect copyright.PENANAcmjTtFu10f
"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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAQBodhxD5oS
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOvJktEDZEl
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ03UX8NGR
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.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAVEd8YT0XKV
"Can I have some money? I'm hungry," she said, holding her stomach.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAM4W25lB9q4
I reached into my channel bag's money pocket and handed it to her.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjimuto5ztC
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlFiu8AUtZE
"The amount of money you gave," she said to me.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPN5dwlY8Tp
522Please respect copyright.PENANAY6yAgKkRgh
"How much does that cost?"
522Please respect copyright.PENANAS7Sei3KCSF
522Please respect copyright.PENANAK7izf6Advj
522Please respect copyright.PENANA247WWp8FNO
"It's a thousand, Ma'am," the child said replied.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAxPVvLLXR7N
522Please respect copyright.PENANAQY3ZEHRdV6
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtPDdgQkGLa
I smiled as she said it.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA8w490CnYUL
"How do you know?" I asked.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlybb1OthDF
522Please respect copyright.PENANAApbsMK2PYN
"I'm just dirty, but I know how to count money." She explained.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAsGQywyNtsE
I smiled. I appear to want to talk to this kid.
