"Good afternoon, Miss. How are you now?" A servant asked as they entered Amanda's room, for a whole day they took turns visiting the woman, the feeling of anxiety that had been seen on everyone's face slowly disappeared, especially since Amanda refused to be taken to the hospital or have a doctor visit here. All the servants were afraid that something bad would happen to their mistress.Amanda smiled, she was still lying on the bed after waking up half an hour ago. "I feel better, for a few days please stock up on those heat patches, I'm going to need them a lot.""Yes, Miss. I'll ask Zayn to buy more when he gets back.""Do you know when Oriaga left?"The maid was lost in thought, recalling the time of Oriaga's departure. "I think it was around lunchtime, Miss. When you were already asleep.""Ah well.""Do you need anything else?""Yes. Please just change these sheets now, I can sit there while you change them.""I'll get the new sheets in the room at the end of the second floor, Mis
On the third day of period, Amanda felt better, she was able to walk out of the room because she was bored for two days just spending time in that room, she did not know what was happening outside her room.Amanda came out of the glass elevator on the main floor, she looked around, and the smell of cooking from the direction of the kitchen was effective enough to attract the woman's attention.For two days, she had only eaten what she wanted, but today that might change as the smell of soup made her empty stomach churn."What are you cooking, Aunt Rosemary?" asked Amanda as she entered the kitchen.The woman in a brown apron who was busy stirring the soup immediately turned her head, she smiled broadly in response to Amanda's appearance in the kitchen."Miss. Are you here?" She immediately approached the woman, helping her walk to sit behind the dining table. "How is your body, Miss? Don't force it if it's still weak.""I'm so bored just spending time in my room. Besides, it doesn't t
Today Oriaga gathered all the leaders of each division as well as the designers in the meeting room, he wanted to openly discuss the problems that happened in Gregorious about Vladimir Chriskov's theft of Kathryn's designs as well as the plagiarism of designs by brand 'Seize'—which had previously remained private because Oriaga and some parties were busy with the investigation.Now that every piece of evidence was clear enough, he announced it to everyone, took the best course of action, and warned against similar bad situations in the future. Oriaga conducted surprise inspections in each division, he didn't want any more cheating to happen, and he was furious that the employees in his office had betrayed him—though Oriaga didn't know the reason behind the theft yet.He doesn't know Vladimir Chriskov's character although he accepts him as an employee after passing the selection, meaning that Vladimir's CV contains something worthy of being accepted to work at Gregorious—beating out ma
"Muffins?" Aunt Rosemary blinked, surprised when Amanda appeared in the kitchen and said she wanted to make muffins."Yes. You have all the ingredients in the kitchen, right? I want blueberry muffins." Moving past Aunt Rosemary who was standing next to the dining table, Amanda opened the entire refrigerator door to check the ingredients. "No blueberries?" She turned to look at Aunt Rosemary."We don't have any, Miss. If you had said earlier, or last night—someone would have come out to buy them, so sorry there are no blueberries."Amanda smiled flatly, she made Aunt Rosemary feel guilty. "It's okay, it's no big deal, there are other meals that can be made. It's my fault for not mentioning it earlier, sorry for being so abrupt, Auntie.""How about lemon cake? Or red velvet?"Amanda looked back at the contents of the refrigerator, there were indeed a lot of strawberries and a few lemons, although there were other fruits, but they were not suitable for cake batter."Eum, maybe lemon cake
Amanda moved restlessly even though her eyelids were tightly closed, and it was already one o'clock in the morning, but whatever it was continued to make her feel uncomfortable. She occasionally rubbed her ears and the nape of her neck as she felt different air touching her there.The air conditioner was always on except when Amanda needed some natural air through the large window in her room, she couldn't bear the restlessness, so she opened her eyes slowly, making the woman freeze when she found someone had flanked Amanda's legs while removing the t-shirt from his body, then throwing it on the floor.The man bent his knees and leaned back to touch Amanda's face with a warm smile.She closed her eyes again and swallowed, knowing she was imagining, or perhaps dreaming, a moment too crazy to face in reality.However, Amanda was wrong, the disturbance was even more uncontrollable because it touched the face, making the woman speak. "This dream is too real, why would a dream like this co
After a heated argument with Oriaga last night, the woman was even more convinced of herself and her desire to get out of this mansion. She felt very grateful that there was not a single CCTV installed in the mansion, so no guards were watching her movements from afar.Amanda felt she had to apologize to Aunt Rosemary that her intentions that day were limited to taking advantage, leading Amanda to find the key to the metal door near the gazebo.Although she had to walk quite a distance to the storeroom located in the corner of the southern hallway, her fatigue was rewarded when Amanda managed to re-enter the room, paying close attention to many of the details she had passed through yesterday."I got the key to freedom." There was no hesitation as the woman's hand opened the glass door containing the many keys, she quickly pulled out the key she had been eyeing since yesterday and tucked it into her pajama pocket. "I hope no one saw me enter this room, they shouldn't have, I woke up ea
Amanda stayed awake tonight, she saw that the shorthand of the clock in her room had reached eleven. All the servants in the mansion should be asleep, she hoped they were lying comfortably in their beds.Amanda was silent for a long time as she sat on her bed, but now she got up as she magnified her intention to escape. She had stashed a few bills in her sweater pocket along with the key to the metal door, and a flashlight in her hand.She briefly pulled back the curtains near the balcony, making sure the gatekeeper was inside the post."It should be safe, shouldn't it?" Amanda snorted, her heart pounding. "I'm getting so nervous as if I'm about to face a difficult graduation exam, but being able to leave here is the hardest test." She snorted.Amanda moved out of the room, she closed the door slowly so that no sound could be heard, then took off her shoes and walked in bare feet before entering the elevator.The atmosphere on the main floor was very dark as almost all the lighting ha
Oriaga is very grateful to the police in Russia for moving quickly to arrest Vladimir Chriskov in his hiding place after Oriaga confirmed that the man was the perpetrator of stealing designs from its fashion brand.The day after arriving in Moscow, he went to the police station with his lawyer, Joana, and several other people. Oriaga wanted to see Vladimir immediately, he was curious about the reason behind the theft—in all the time Vladimir had worked at Gregorious, he had never been in trouble with anyone, and he had no red marks on his performance.Is it true that Vladimir stole because he wanted to make a scene in his monotonous life?As the lawyer and his assistants brought out the latest evidence in front of the police, Oriaga stepped aside to a different area, he sat outside a room, more precisely a special room for prisoners when they had to meet their guests, and Oriaga waited for Vladimir's appearance.A warden from a different direction appeared while holding the figure of
