Cassie didn't realize her jaw had dropped open as the car drove into Zander’s mansion. “How does such luxury exist?” She mumbled under her breath.

The car came to a stop at the entrance of the mansion and she stepped out quietly staring at the massive house in amazement.

Zander's personal assistant was waiting at the entrance to receive her. He directed the maids to carry her bags and approached her with a polite smile.

“Welcome, Miss Cassie. I believe you remember me. My name is Jeffrey and I will show you to your room”

The man who had just delivered the hot slap didn't even look like he had just hurt her. He had a satisfied smirk on his face. “Enough! Bring her to me!” a loud voice commanded from the other side of the room.Cassie felt strong hands grab her by her shoulders as she screamed in fear.“I am sorry!

At the end of her shift, she settled in a corner of the changing room and went through the flyer again. “What are you reading?” Someone asked behind her and Cassie felt her heart skip a beat.She jumped up quickly, hiding the flyer behind her back. She looked up to realize it was Linda behind her.“It’s okay, I don't really want to see”. She looked amused. “I was just checking to see if you were doing alright. I am on my way home”. She explained.Cassie saw the genuine worry in her eyes and relaxed a bit “Thank you Linda”. The lady took it as a sign not to probe further so she nodded and turned to leave the room. “W
