Maria sighed deeply. Her eyes landed on the tray of lunch she had painstakingly prepared. No, Maria never complained about her job. It's just that this food was fuel for the body, right? If ignored, how could the body function as usual?
"How is she?" Susi, one of the servers on the second floor, asked. For her, she only served rooms with grand, elegantly carved doors. The occupant of this room didn't want any disturbance.
"She doesn't want to touch anything. Madam chose to sleep, and I think she's already in a deep sleep," Maria replied.
Susi groaned in frustration. "Madam could get even worse, Maria. You know that, right?"
Maria nodded wearily. "She doesn't even want to enjoy the fruit I served. I don't know how to persuade Madam Kate anymore. I can't keep lying to her for too long."
Susi clasped her hands, her eyes teary as she looked at Maria. "Madam Kate must be feeling so lost."
Maria agreed with Susi's statement. "It's not just Madam K

"Hey, welcome to the club."Giselle beams at Jane. Jane isn't used to this kind of enthusiastic welcome. She hasn't agreed to anything yet, please understand, anything that Fabian might offer. She's reluctant even to reread the contract.She doesn't want to get involved in a world that will put her face out there, where life isn't just about enjoying tea at sunset or simply shopping at the supermarket without paparazzi. Just being Austin's wife is hassle enough with the news hounds. What if her life gets hunted and dissected even more? No, she can't imagine that. What Fabian is talking about isn't trivial. Who doesn't know the models and public figures under SEO Fashion's umbrella? Most of them have high names and popularity, some influential figures in entertainment and fashion shows. Including the woman welcoming Jane this evening. Suddenly her brown bayage hair becomes an icon this year. Her face portrays a gentle and friendly woman. The sparkle in her eyes exudes a strong sense of

Jane's eyes scan each of the beautiful girls in front of her, looking like angels. They're just casually sitting there, their gazes also full of interest in Jane. Somehow, Jane feels Fabian's request is pretty absurd."Look at the three of them. Imagine them wearing the dress that's currently clinging to your body. And give an assessment according to my, uh... color-savvy eyes."Fabian is out of line. Does he think Jane graduated from a fashion school? Been deeply involved in a world full of admiration and tight schedules? Oh, God! If only she could protest! Unfortunately, Jane can't do that. She's already been pushed out of the car, which stopped in front of the luxurious apartment.Shortly after, a girl picks her up, saying she's Fabian's messenger."How was it?" Giselle asks while casually flipping her hair."I don't know," Jane sighs. "I don't quite understand what Fabian wants."Harley laughs. "You really need to learn more about Fabian

Jane sits, trying to stay calm in the passenger seat of the red car, which is, once again, Fabian's. When she was brought to this apartment, it wasn't Fabian's beloved car that was used. Jane doesn't want to know when Fabian switched cars."How was it?" Fabian breaks the silence between them. It's been ten minutes, but Jane hasn't said a word. She even turned down the offer of just having a cup of coffee.What could Fabian offer Jane? Something that couldn't possibly be rejected? It's really hard for this woman with beautiful eyes to just nod and accept all of Fabian's invitations."What do you mean?" Jane asks, puzzled."Your day with Giselle? You met Harley and Ursula too, right?""I did."That's it! Oh my God! Is Jane some kind of rare species of woman? Even though Irena is her secretary, who still has boundaries and feels shy when talking, outside the office, Fabian often hears Irena being quite chatty. There's always something to discus

Nothing changed in Austin's life afterward. Everything remained as normal as it could be, but one thing made him feel like he was stepping into a wide-open space. No longer feeling cramped, and a lot of his burdens seemed to lift. He entered the Goojoo Enterprise building with light steps and a whistle, signaling he was in the best mood.Occasionally, he responds to greetings from employees scattered across several divisions. Most of them, Fabian barely knew. Wearing the Goojoo Enterprise badge, Fabian assumed they were his subordinates.Ignoring a few whispers, he heard while heading to the room on the twenty-fifth floor. Was there something off about his behavior this morning? Let Austin think for a moment. Ah... it's probably because he softened the stern expression he usually wore there. Replacing it with a slight smile and greeting.But was that weird? When a boss greeted their employees?Never mind. There were many things Austin had to think about r

Fabian's car stops right at the neatly maintained simple house. The lights around the garden and the main house aren't on. Obviously because the new owner just returned, and Fabian gave her a lift. The click of the seat belt in the passenger's seat signals that Fabian's offer has hit rock bottom.Throughout his persuasion, Jane remains unmoved. Everything's rejected, even the highest payment Fabian could offer, Jane's not interested."I don't want fame or fun stuff you can offer, Fabian. Seriously. This is my deepest heart's answer. After you know who I am, you should also understand why I choose this.""Oh God!" Fabian sighs, frustrated, rubbing his face. "You're really stubborn.""Thank you for noticing. So... I consider this our last meeting. Among the three models you favor, the only one who might fit is Giselle. I think you know what to do." Jane gives a slight smile. She pulls the car door lever, but... "The door, please."There's nothing Fab

Maria stared at the finished dishes she had just prepared. Occasionally, she inquired with the main gate security guard, asking if the family guests had arrived. Maria never expected that the woman would truly show her presence here. In reality, Maria didn't want to prepare any dishes, but she realized her position here was only that of the head servant. She was responsible for taking care of all the needs in this grand house, especially the feasts."They're here!"Luckily, the glasses Maria was arranging didn't slip from her grip. She gently rubbed her chest, instructing some of the servants to be ready to serve well, even if it was with half a heart. The first time she met the beautiful woman, Maria felt a sense of sympathy. The love story with her master had to end due to a marriage arranged by the grand master. Maria thought that the woman bearing the status of Mrs. Don Austin William was just seizing the opportunity. Unfortunately, as time passed, that assumption

Calysta ate calmly, tasting everything in front of her and occasionally commenting. She'd chat with Austin beside her, sometimes helping him pick certain dishes. The dining room felt like her domain. Oh, and don't forget to be as sweet as possible to Katherine Don William, who Calysta didn't expect to greet her. But for Calysta, it didn't matter if the middle-aged woman didn't welcome her. Her focus tonight was spending time with Austin in this house, silently declaring her intention to take Jane's place here.Her buried desire, dismissed when Austin carelessly agreed to his father's absurd request, now blazes within her. The fire intensifies because the warm-smiling man in front of her doesn't let her go easily. It gives Calysta her own conviction that the time will come when she fulfills her goal."The cooks here are so skilled," praises Calysta with a honey-sweet smile. "I love all the dishes tonight." She gently wipes the corner of her lips with the soft cloth avai

Jane dried her hands after finishing up. Assisted by Harley in tidying up the slightly messy kitchen area, they all could sit back and enjoy the passing day. Even though Jane could handle it alone, the girl she barely knew for a day didn't hesitate to get involved in the kitchen sink.She said, "You've prepared us a delicious breakfast. Lunch made us reluctant to leave the couch. Do you really think I can't do more than just washing dishes?"Not only Harvey but Giselle and Ursula also share the same tasks. Jane ran out of words to refuse and asked them to sit still."We need to move a lot, Olive," Giselle retorts with a hearty laugh. In her hand was a vacuum cleaner ready to clean the dirt on the living room floor.While Ursula argued, "I need to burn off the calories that just entered this body. Blame Olive for serving such delicious beef teriyaki today."Alright, they are all stubborn, but they warm Jane's heart uncontrollably. As a return for th
