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.

"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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAx9TQUidskT
My ten assistants all bowed in front of me. Others are still shaking in fear. Because they can see how irritated I am.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAmrkkr1Uq6i
Later, one of Lucianna approached me with a bow.

471Please respect copyright.PENANAc7zJdbqfii
471Please respect copyright.PENANAI9T6f0UZxD
"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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAb5qsXt2T4V
471Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ239R9qeH
471Please respect copyright.PENANA3VcGyFI9aO
My hair suddenly stood on end.

471Please respect copyright.PENANAMXa20Ot7vZ
"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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA1IehwHDbPr
She was trembling in fear of what I was about to do to her, I noticed.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAQrdNKNdi3h
"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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAZRIFk4V3NG
471Please respect copyright.PENANAljP8bQxmBC
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAmsG1fiSae1
471Please respect copyright.PENANAZc8sRVkOyZ
471Please respect copyright.PENANAN9Hujmmkhm
"What exactly is it?" I asked him.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA8y0IT0HT7i
471Please respect copyright.PENANASh3n5Poifo
"Miss Zaneska, all of our investors have pulled their investments in us," he said over the phone, trembling.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAOJM6g9Rr1I
471Please respect copyright.PENANAgcKYiQkv9e
My brow furrowed in response to what I heard.
471Please respect copyright.PENANATlPbp9QanW
471Please respect copyright.PENANAM1jeTlPX86
"What's the reason, Randolf?" I asked.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAhHXCTCSfwP
"I'm not certain, Miss," he admits.
471Please respect copyright.PENANACMsLlb2r0Y
471Please respect copyright.PENANAbznBpJnN8J
"Fix it right away," I said.
471Please respect copyright.PENANATj2b7ZpGEC
"I tried to fix it, but they need to talk to you," he says on the other end of the phone.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAkSMTX2GYfs
"And why is that? You're my assistant, so you have the authority to solve the problem."
471Please respect copyright.PENANA2rXg1DYWyy
471Please respect copyright.PENANAcBVcZFVXJ7
"I've done everything I can, but they still refuse. Mr. Chin is even worse," he complains.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAdfwVvNJhMj
471Please respect copyright.PENANAW56nWOXxpC
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAXaqcukEwiy
471Please respect copyright.PENANALdKomvbInp
"Randolf, take a deep breath. I've heard your nervousness all the way up here," I said.
471Please respect copyright.PENANABvMBB9Ba0G
471Please respect copyright.PENANAbAG0PzhNTs
"I was suddenly afraid that you would chastise me for withdrawing their investments," he said.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA8OCWpUnjlQ
Because of what he said, I rolled my eyes.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAQYKMwoZk4R
"Aren't you used to my routine? How long have you worked with me?" I asked.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA3SRoIdsWjq
I could hear his heavy breathing on the other end of the line.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA621obvPR3c
"All right, call them and set up a meeting," I said.
471Please respect copyright.PENANArtbFX8IC6q
471Please respect copyright.PENANAhVNlYIe5Q7
"OK, Miss," he said as he hung up the phone.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA2VclJDuFvq
471Please respect copyright.PENANAnB7o1cypZZ
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAohsh3tuus9
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANALPPMCQqFcT
471Please respect copyright.PENANAzx07cc5m1A
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAr470mOL0lf
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAD1x6lbH85C
I emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my entire body.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAh4oM2YSQxR
I looked for clothes that I could wear later in the day in the city.
471Please respect copyright.PENANApC8QbUutlX
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAk4n9oRKFGN
When Luciana entered the kitchen, I was drinking water.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAmlDXaY6CmT
"Please call them all, Luciana, and let us eat together," I said.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAERWmkp7m9D
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA1GPQ2ljCLN
"All of you sit down and eat," I order.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAhyeB0y2NEt
They took their seats one by one and began to eat.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA3ccPCANjLT
471Please respect copyright.PENANAi5wVklZj4c
"Maybe you'd like to accompany me to the city to unwind," I suggested.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA55ZVgaW7kp
471Please respect copyright.PENANAifI0GBpB76
They all turned to look at me at the same time.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA2i13sVssiZ
"All right, Miss, we'd like to try going out at night as well," Mila said.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAa3R7uxi9Vp
471Please respect copyright.PENANAZM8llsTg80
I cracked a grin.
471Please respect copyright.PENANASljOedPsmH
"OK, get dressed, and I'll meet you all outside the house," I said.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAhjhpmMbBUt
471Please respect copyright.PENANAYN8uD5Dmls
471Please respect copyright.PENANAgAVxepbC9E
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0GCkv6CAP
471Please respect copyright.PENANA0J0CrTNGvM
471Please respect copyright.PENANAfICLyeUyJN
"Hello, Randolf, how are you?" I asked.
471Please respect copyright.PENANApZChQ7EQcO
471Please respect copyright.PENANAOiaiLkLZIC
"At home, Miss," he replied with a heavy breathing.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAXF1GgWIDZ8
471Please respect copyright.PENANALFAZEDaFtU
It's as if he's been running for a long period.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAFQF9aemKwi
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAfgRJh2t2OJ
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAyizwFW2hAC
471Please respect copyright.PENANA4wdJCHjJHp
I also noticed that they were pushing up against the gate.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAJezaQj9f4v
"Hurry up, it's too late," I told them.
471Please respect copyright.PENANALlXcFRt6yg
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAxOImOwYaII
471Please respect copyright.PENANAEuNr61ZwMN
"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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAsUQrVGOuFa
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAjfyL8vYxIG
471Please respect copyright.PENANAReqAWQMFIr
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.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAXDhJIS2RN3
"Can I have some money? I'm hungry," she said, holding her stomach.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAEOSh7Qo8nt
I reached into my channel bag's money pocket and handed it to her.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAIPSLm5hLnf
471Please respect copyright.PENANA8UzXC3R6OR
"The amount of money you gave," she said to me.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAo3YqCdEmFy
471Please respect copyright.PENANA2hVOQkpJ0O
"How much does that cost?"
471Please respect copyright.PENANAwiv6wUyfJy
471Please respect copyright.PENANA67QYKNfsZR
471Please respect copyright.PENANAozVZrDNnFn
"It's a thousand, Ma'am," the child said replied.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAgPwbjvKFgn
471Please respect copyright.PENANAOwKEQXBkGS
471Please respect copyright.PENANAg5dXeIRpQf
I smiled as she said it.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAbwWJjPXNcq
"How do you know?" I asked.
471Please respect copyright.PENANAQw7PGGwoMB
471Please respect copyright.PENANAG3izIMjGiq
"I'm just dirty, but I know how to count money." She explained.
471Please respect copyright.PENANA5XSmE1193s
I smiled. I appear to want to talk to this kid.
