Heinz was seen walking quickly toward the foyer, bumping into Sharlynn, who was also in the lobby, about to enter the main room. The woman's steps stopped as she encountered her father. The two were still staring at each other from a distance of about seven meters. It was as if that look did not welcome her, especially when her hazel eyes saw Rolanda's arrival, accompanied by Odette and Julian. Sharlynn's eyes fell on Odette, who seemed to be holding Julian's hand tightly, accompanied by a mocking smile at him. There was a little warmth in her heart, but she soon realized that Julian was a trashy man who needed to be eliminated."Sharlynn, listen to Daddy!" Her father's bass voice broke her reverie. Sharlynn turned to Heinz. "If you want everything back, then divorce this man right now! I can still find you a man more handsome and richer than Richie!"Sharlynn pulled back a corner of her lips. She shook her head slightly and then laughed mockingly at her father."Has Daddy ever cared
"Sharlynn?" The greeting voice made the beautiful brunette, who had been looking down sadly, look up.A beautiful woman with red hair made Sharlynn narrow her eyes. It was as if she remembered the beautiful face of the woman with the trackless face."Hey, did you forget me?" the woman asked again with a smiling face.Sharlynn rounded her eyes and opened her mouth to form the letter O. It seemed she was beginning to recognize who the face in front of her was."Melanie?" Sharlynn finally asked back. "Where have you been since you married Max? It's like you've disappeared off the face of the earth."Sharlynn rose from her chair and hugged the beautiful woman who had greeted her earlier. As if longing and needing a place to release some of her sadness, Sharlynn hugged the woman tightly."I'm sorry. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye," the woman said as she released Sharlynn's embrace. Melanie looked at the woman strangely. "Hey, where is your happy face that used to adorn this beautiful
The sound of the door being kicked open was loud enough as it hit the wall and fell wide open. Sharlynn seemed to struggle as she carried two paper bags filled with groceries that covered half her face. Once inside, she kicked the door shut."It's pretty heavy. Complicated. Turns out the grocery line is this long," Sharlynn complained as she arrived in the kitchen and placed two bags of groceries on the counter. She let out a frustrated breath, causing the slanted bangs of her hair to rise as well.Glancing at the watch on her wrist, Sharlynn rolled her eyes. Not because it was already noon, but..."I can sell my watch to increase my savings. Oh, silly Sharlynn, why didn't I sell it yesterday?" Sharlynn gently patted her forehead. "That's a pretty good idea. I'll sell it online; the box and certificate seem left at the mansion."Sharlynn shook her head, not wanting to lament her unfortunate fate of being kicked out of the mansion. Before arranging the items she had just purchased, the
"Oh my God, Richie must be furious at me." Sharlynn, with an irregular heartbeat, now looked confused. She ruffled her brunette hair, which was wavy and complete to the point of being disheveled.Sharlynn inhaled as much oxygen as she could, then exhaled slowly as she patted her chest. Perhaps she was trying to ease the tightness in her chest. "I can't be like this every day. It's time I learned to keep my house in order," Sharlynn muttered confidently.The beautiful and spoiled woman began to walk her long legs back to the kitchen. She had a sad look on her face as she swept the messy kitchen floor. But Sharlynn's determination could never be broken. Without hesitation, Sharlynn walked over to the scattered items. She bent and sat down, carefully avoiding the broken glasses and plates. Saving items made of stainless steel and aluminum had no discernible effect.Sharlynn carefully began to clean up the broken glasses and plates. She collected them and placed them in a plastic garbage
When the door opened, Richie saw a man in a red uniform carrying three stacks of unevenly sized boxes. His forehead immediately wrinkled; he felt he hadn't ordered anything."Is this the room where Miss Sharlyn Willie is staying?" asked the man, who turned out to be a courier."Yes," Richie replied briefly."I'm delivering Miss Sharlynn's order. Are you...?" The courier paused, looking doubtful as he stared at Richie's figure in front of him."I'm her husband. Give her to me; she's sleeping." Richie held out his palm in front of the courier. Finally, the three stacks of boxes were handed over to Richie. After signing the receipt, the courier left Richie's room.After closing the door, Richie returned to the sofa and placed the three boxes on the table. He didn't know what was in the boxes and didn't want to get involved because he felt it wasn't his. Richie looked back at Sharlynn, who was still fast asleep. He slowly picked up the mop handle she was still holding. The slightest move
Sharlynn no longer heard the birds chirping outside the window or the sound of tree branches rubbing against the glass in the window near her bed that always kept her awake. This time, Richie, who had gotten up first and was getting ready to leave, looked at the woman who seemed to be closing her eyes under the sofa with the bedspread looking disheveled."What a spoiled girl," Richie muttered as he passed Sharlynn's position and entered the kitchen. A few minutes later, the lushly lined eyes slowly opened after the irises moved despite the closed lids. Not to be outdone, the nose also moved as if the scent of something rather pungent to the nose disturbed the girl's sleep."Eeerrgghhhh!" Sharlynn's voice stretched her body, stretching her muscles after last night's poor sleep due to the completion of the project she had signed the contract for.Still on her back, Sharlynn blinked as she stared at the wall clock above Richie's bedroom door. Her eyes widened as the clock struck eight.
Arriving at the cafe's kitchen counter, Sharlynn could be seen grimacing as she rubbed her small stomach, which was making a sound."I didn't have breakfast earlier, so it's appropriate that it feels sore and suddenly dizzy," Sharlynn said, still rubbing her stomach.Melanie, who had just entered the cafe, saw her friend with a slightly pale face and a grimace. Then the woman approached her."Sharlynn, what's wrong?" Sharlynn was surprised and didn't notice Melanie standing next to her. Melanie frowned as she looked at her friend. "Are you sick? Your face looks pale and sweaty.""Uuhhmmm...I'm fine. Maybe it's because I haven't had breakfast yet," Sharlynn grinned honestly. Melanie giggled at that, especially when she saw Sharlynn's open and honest expression."I've always liked your honesty and the way you are. After you serve your last customer, eat here first and take whatever you want. Take care of yourself, the cafe customers keep coming back because of your hospitality," Melanie
"Errgghhhh...I hate Sharlynn! She embarrassed us in front of everyone," Odette grumbled in the car. Both of her hands made movements as if she were squeezing something in annoyance. Unlike Julian, who did not talk too much, the man only concentrated on turning the steering wheel and driving away from the cafe. Odette turned her head to the left, where the man seemed to be concentrating. "Julian! Why are you silent?""I told you not to go near Sharlynn; it'll only upset us, and it turns out my hunch wasn't wrong. It turns out the cafe is owned by Melanie, Sharlynn's friend since college," Julian said at length, which made Odette even more annoyed."I'm definitely going to get back at Sharlynn! You'll see, I'll embarrass her in front of the crowd." A mischievous smile began to return to the woman's face. "One Sharlynn became a cafe waitress after marrying a bodyguard of the Kaufmann family." The sound of loud laughter could be heard in the car, making Julian feel half disgusted.*Melan
