Julian's body moved, his eyes widened, and then he glanced at Jemima, who had opened her eyes; they stared at each other. Julian felt surprised and awkward.

"Sorry." He said short.

"I-a-I, my condolences." He continued.

Jemima nodded in understanding.

"So, how much do you owe that your father keeps charging you? I really can't figure it out?" Julian asked, trying to get them to continue their conversation and get rid of his awkwardness and guilt towards Jemima.

Jemima corrected her sitting position by returning her gaze to the front while sighing.

"Eight hundred and fifty-three million." She continued to answer, the sentence sounding so heavy.

"Wh-what? That's a small amount of money." Julian said, sounding surprised.

Jemima glanced and looked back at Julian, "What? Small money?"

"Ekhem! me-me-meaning for your father, it's small money." His reply sounded hesitant.

"Oh, yes, it should be small money. Unfortunately, that man has no money because the witch completely controls

    Hearing Jemima's question, Julian's eyes widened in astonishment. The woman still seemed to be staring at him expectantly. How dare this woman, Julian thought with his face bent coldly. "Ah, forget it. I'm sorry," Jemima said suddenly. "What a silly question," she sighed again while holding back laughter. Julian just glanced over and remained silent; occasionally, the man frowned his forehead in confusion. "Akh... forget about my question earlier; what kind of life do we want to live anyway," Jemima said again. "We're poor; we don't have anything, although actually... that's not a problem." She continued, sounding desperate. "What's with your attitude?" Julian asked out of curiosity. Jemima glanced at the man while shrugging her shoulders. "You said it's not a problem. Is poverty not a problem for you?" Julian asked again. Jemima nodded firmly, "of course." She replied. "Oh yeah, then... if you're poor, if you want medical treatment, if you want to eat well, if you want any

    The evening she was passed. Julian was anxious because it was already ten o'clock at night, but Jemima hadn't returned home yet. Julian walked out of the room, and when he was outside, he could see the street from up there; it was the street he had walked with Jemima earlier in the day. 'It's her,' he thought as he saw the appearance of the girl he had been worried about. Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer, Julian immediately entered the house and pretended to be asleep. "I'm back__" Jemima's voice, which had been loud, was immediately lowered. Is she already asleep? He wondered. "Apparently, you're back?" asked Julian while pretending as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep. "Hey! Sorry to disturb you," said Jemima with her hands still busy opening her shoes. "Why are you sleeping on the sofa? Your body is too long, and it looks uncomfortable." She said. Julian fixed his sitting position. "Then where should I sleep? There is only one bed in this room." Julia

    Julian looked at the sleeping Jemima with gratitude for the stranger's presence. After that, he stood up, turned off the light, and slept in the place Jemima had prepared. They fell asleep without realizing it, and Julian felt as if he was hypnotized by the comfort of the floor mattress, even dreaming sweet dreams. Last night was such a memorable night for Julian, and he had never slept so soundly before. As the morning sun began to shine into the room, he woke up with a growing sense of awe within him. "Thank you, God, for today," Julian said gratefully. For a moment, he looked at the serene face of Jemima, who slept like a baby. With his initiative, Julian wanted to offer something to both of them while enjoying the fresh morning air. Julian left the house carefully, not wanting to disturb Jemima so that she could continue to rest in peace. Shortly afterward, Jemima also woke up and was surprised to find Julian's bed neat and empty. She looked for him throughout the room, but J

    Julian braced himself for the taxi driver's condescending attitude, but he remained calm and handed over a few bills, confident that the amount would be enough to get him back to the town of Redapple. Although he felt depressed, Julian took a deep breath, remembering that his life experiences outside the city and away from his family had taught him valuable patience. "Is this five hundred dollars?" asked Julian as he showed his money to the driver. The taxi driver just sighed and continued to mock Julian, suspecting him. Julian was silent, letting his mind drift and spin. How could anyone be as cruel as this driver? He had already shown his money, but it was still doubtful. Julian felt he had little choice but to try to explain the situation without taking the emotional route. "Look, if you steal, I'll have to take you to the police station now," the taxi driver said in an accusatory tone. "But if you admit your mistake, I'll continue your journey, agreed?" the taxi driver offer

    "Get up, let's hurry," said the woman as she took Julian's hand, and helped him to stand back up. "What are you doing? What's going on?" the woman asked kindly, patting Julian's dirty shirt and smoothing it. "Jemi? Do you work here?" asked Julian, somewhat surprised that the gentle woman looked familiar to him. Jemima just smiled and nodded. "What's wrong? Why are you in front of this hotel?" Before Julian could answer, their tranquility was interrupted by someone's sharp voice. "Miss Jemima, is this your friend?" asked the hotel guard in a condescending tone, recalling the previous incident with Julian. "Oh, yes, Mr. Hans. I'm sorry if his presence disturbs the peace of the hotel, I'll take him away immediately," said Jemima uncomfortably. "Since when do you know people like this?" asked the guard named Hans Johnson, implying his low opinion of Julian. Julian inwardly wondered about Hans' statement. What kind of lowly human resources does this hotel employ? he thought. "Exc

    Julian waved his hand, excited by Jemima's enthusiastic explanation."Diego is a former accountant at the central branch of Vascos Hotel in Redapple City," Jemima continued."Oh," Julian replied, silent, staring intently at Diego, chatting with guard Hans while occasionally glancing at him and Jemima.Jemima frowned, seeing Julian's reaction to her explanation. However, although she seemed to know something, it wasn't easy to understand Julian's background, who seemed to come from the streets. Despite being curious about Julian's past life, Jemima chose not to bother too much about it and lived out her days quietly with the mysterious man."Let's go home; you won't get a job at this hotel," Jemima said, breaking the silence.Julian seemed to nod, a grim look on his face."Does that mean I can't get in here, even as Security or Housekeeping?"Jemima's eyes widened as she heard Julian's question."Come on, don't get your hopes up. You have to have at least a bachelor's degree and at lea

    "Oh, don't you like that? How about the presidential suite?"Jemima remained silent, not reacting to the strange question."Haha, if you're interested, we should plan a schedule. Do you want to stay there?"Diego asked such an inappropriate question, making Jemima feel like she was starting to get angry. How could an Assistant Manager talk like that to an intern?"Come on, Jemima, don't pretend. If you sleep with me, maybe I can hire you as a permanent employee," Diego said as he whispered in Jemima's ear."That's enough, Mr. Diego. You shouldn't talk to me like that, or I___""Or what, Ms. Jemima?" cut in Diego, trying to be defiant."Report me?""To where and who cares."Jemima fell silent, helpless and afraid to stand up to a man like Diego."Think about it, meet me in the VIP room later," Diego continued."How long have you been staying in the VIP room, Mr. Diego?" a man's voice suddenly interrupted Diego's words."Oh, who are you, Miss?" the man asked as he approached Jemima."Si

    Jemima pondered, recalling some revealing articles about Victor Flaming's privacy, who always kept his privacy, never got involved with women, and was often seen with only a few men. There were speculations that the famous man might have a different sexual orientation and not be interested in women. Tak! Tak! The sound of a knock on the table broke Jemima's reverie. "Hey, Miss?" asked Victor. "Oh, sorry, sir," Jemima replied, a little surprised. "Have you been friends with that person for long?" Victor asked. Jemima shook her head hesitantly, "Just a few days," she replied. "Oh, what's his name? May I know?" asked Victor, looking interested. "His name is Julian," Jemima answered honestly. Victor nodded, "Julian," he said softly, his smile making Jemima even more suspicious. "Where does he live? May I have his address?" Victor asked. Jemima stood up immediately, "I'm sorry, Mr. Victor, if you're interested in him, I don't want to help." "Oh? Why?" asked Victor. "Because he

    Frank folded his long-sleeved shirt; the man's burly muscles looked manly and sexy, making Sarah's heart beat faster. Plus, some of the buttons on Frank's chest were open, showing a bit of his broad chest. "Let me rub your back," Frank offered as he sat behind Sarah's back. Frank began to rub Sarah's back; not only that, the man also stepped on Sarah's shoulders to her head very painstakingly. Occasional sighs were heard from Sarah's lips; the woman felt her body calm down. "I can't believe you can make me this calm," Sarah praised. "Hem, I can make you even calmer," Frank replied. "Oh yeah? How?" asked Sarah with a chuckle. "Are you sure you want me to show you how?" urged Frank. "Of course, show me," Sarah replies. "Okay," Frank replied in a soft voice. Slowly Frank's hands massaged her shoulders and neck, then his hands traced her chest, making Sarah freeze while closing her eyes. Sarah's body is arranged in such a way by Frank to make it look comfortable; Sarah's head i

    Right in the hotel lobby, Hector left Sarah alone, and while she was down, suddenly someone put a suit on her. 'Dante, I'm sure it's you," Sarah thought with an excited smile on her face, which she quickly corrected into a sad and sulking face. Unfortunately, when she turned around, the owner of the suit was not the man she expected. "Ah, Frank. I thought you were home," Sarah said when she realized that the man wearing a suit to cover her exposed shoulders and wet dress was her future brother-in-law. "Hm, you're such a mess, Sarah." Sarah nodded with a smile. "You're not going home?" Sarah asked again. "Ah... how can I go home, leaving you and my sister soaking wet? I'm waiting to see who comes first, and I have to help," Frank explained. Sarah smiled by trying to act gracefully to cover her annoyance and embarrassment in front of Frank; she was hungry for praise and wanted to look tough in front of any man. "Why don't we book a room here?" Frank asked. Sarah's eyes widened.

    Dante moved closer to Sarah, then whispered something that made everyone curious about what the man was saying. "Even if you show your body to the world, I will not return to you; my heart is dead." Sarah bit her lip; it felt like her heart was pricked by small needles, not expecting that the man who was once crazy about her no longer had feelings for her. "How is Miss Sarah? Do you still want to go with me?" asked Dante. Sarah did not immediately answer; she froze silently with her eyes glazed over. "How? Why are you silent? Do you still want to continue?" Dante urged, not as it sounded; the man seemed so dominant that he dared to fight Sarah, who was a woman. Finally, Sarah shook her head. She might give up this time, but she still had other plans to get Dante's heart back. "Mr. Vascos, but this servant__" Dante immediately turned to Hera, who immediately fell silent, "What? is something wrong?" Hera shook her head in fear. "Why? Weren't you going to water her?" Dante asked

    It seemed that Hera did not want to give in; she wanted to look good in the eyes of Dante and Victor, hoping that the two men, especially Dante, could like her courage in fighting Sarah. "Come on, my dear sister-in-law, can you not make things difficult for us who are having this event?" asked Hera, looking annoyed with both hands clenched tightly. Sarah flicked her index finger at Hera, "No, Hera, I strongly object to your used clothes." Hera was getting more and more annoyed; she looked at Jemima while snorting harshly, "FUCK! Because of a servant like you, everything is a mess." Jemima looked speechless; now there was another woman abusing her, and she couldn't help but cry. "Tell you what, I'll avenge your anger on that despicable maid." "Oh yeah?" cut in Sarah, looking pleased as she turned to Dante, as if implying something. "What are you going to do?" he continued to ask. "I'm going to do the same, but I hope you'll sit tight first; after everything is done, Sarah and I

    Samuel and Mira's faces looked angry even though the couple was trying to maintain the pride that had been knocked down by Sarah's careless attitude, but there was Dante and Victor there; the two guests were more valuable than Sarah's cheap attitude, which should be dealt with immediately. Everyone was silent, all nervous except for Dante and Victor. "Well, it looks like what Mr. Victor said was true," Samuel said. "Maybe we'll meet when Mr. Vascos has time," he continued with a disappointed tone of voice and face. Dante seemed to raise his hand. "No problem. Let your future daughter-in-law be here; you can continue what you just said," he said. "I'm afraid you feel uncomfortable," Samuel retorted. "Of course not; let's have a toast," Dante invited as he raised the wine glass in front of him. At the same time, several waitresses walked over to the table and stood behind the guests holding what appeared to be very valuable bottles of wine. From the line of waitresses, Dante's ey

    "Ah, well, I guess we'll have dinner first," Samuel said awkwardly. As Victor waved to someone, and they seemed to understand what he meant, one by one the waiters arrived with menus to fill the long table that was now in front of Dante as well as the Anderson family members. "Ekhem, Mr. Vascos," Samuel said, still looking nervous, but it seemed the man couldn't and wouldn't put up with small talk. "Yes, please if you wish to speak," Dante replied. "Ekhem, first I would like to apologize for the impudence of my second son's behavior," Samuel explained while glancing briefly at Hector. "As a parent... I feel embarrassed because..." "Hello, I didn't expect to see you here," someone interrupted Samuel, causing everyone to turn their heads towards the voice. 'Ah, damn. What does she want to come here?' Dante's mind looked annoyed. Samuel, whose words were cut off, also looked angry after seeing who the voice belonged to. "Wild woman," Samuel's snort was heard, albeit softly. "He

    Egan turned to Dante, who was still curious about his question. "Because it's possible that your ex is also coming to the event," Egan replied. "Ex? Who?" Egan shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "Time to get ready, sir." Dante looked at the clock on his hand; indeed, in about thirty minutes it was time for dinner. He nodded at Egan, who seemed to be quickly getting things ready. Dante began to clean up, get dressed, and be ready to leave. "Looks like we're going to be late," Egan said. "Leave it alone, not an important guest; what are you worried about?" asked Dante. "Isn't Victor there already? I don't think it's a problem if I don't come," he continued. "Oh yes, your feelings are there day and night in this hotel; do you really not want to go home?" asked Dante after realizing that Egan had always been by his side. "No, sir. My place is by your side," Egan replied. Dante's forehead wrinkled. "Wait, what does that mean? I don't feel like asking you to be by my side for

    Some time had passed, Dante had also moved from his seat, and Victor and Egan seemed to have finished talking. When Egan chose to leave, Victor chose to sit next to Dante. "Are you okay?" asked Victor, and Dante shook his head. "Tell me, what's the problem?" asked Victor again. Dante sighed in exasperation. "It looks like some weird old lady poisoned Jemima's mind." "Oh yeah?!" exclaimed Victor, looking curious as he approached Dante and fixed his sitting position. "Old woman? Who? Her grandmother?" asked Victor. Dante shook his head with his forehead wrinkled in thought. "Huh? no? then who?" urged Victor again. Dante sighed in despair, feeling like he wanted to go back to Redapple City, the city where his house was located and the city where Jemima worked. "Come on, man, don't keep quiet. How long are you going to listen to other people's opinions, and how long are you going to take insults from people who don't recognize you?" sighed Victor; now he was the one who looked fru

    Looking at Julian, who was silent, Jemima looked at him worriedly. "What's wrong with you?" she asked. "Are you okay?" she asked again. Julian brushed off Jemima's hand that was about to wipe the sweat off his forehead; to him, it was nervous sweat, not feverish sweat. And he didn't need any attention at all. "Oh yeah, we'll be at the hotel soon; don't you want to eat out first? With me?" asked Jemima, offering something to keep Julian from moping. Unfortunately, Julian shook his head; he refused firmly. 'What's wrong with him? Why is he suddenly in a bad mood?" Jemima thought while occasionally stealing glances at Julian, who was more focused on driving than chatting with her. "Hmm, how about we have dinner together tonight? Consider it our first date." asked Jemima, trying to persuade. Again Julian shook his head. Jemima became annoyed with herself because she was confused by the mistake she made that made the man change drastically. "Alright, we're here. Get off," Julian asked
