Part 2

"That naughty girl still doesn't want to open the door?"

"Yes, and it's your fault, Leon! What did you do to my daughter?!" screeched Charlotte Addison at her husband while girdling her loins. Ever since Charlotte came home from shopping, their only daughter had not come out of the room. That really worried Charlotte. Her cute Feli had never been like this before.

"Look, honey, our daughter wants to buy a private jet."

"Then what's the problem? You just need to buy it, Daddy. What's the big deal?"

"Honey, from now on we can't spoil Feli all the time."

"What?" Charlotte's eyes rounded. She stared at her husband as if Leonel was a stranger she had never seen before. "What's wrong, you've run out of money?" Charlotte asked, frowning uncomprehendingly.

Leon tapped his forehead in frustration at his wife's innocent remark.

"It's not like that, dear, but I think we should be strict with our Baby Girl from now on. That girl cannot be pampered all the time. If she wants something, then she has to do something first to get her reward, so that she knows what it's like to struggle-"

"No!" cut in Charlotte. "My daughter shouldn't have a taste of what it's like to 'struggle', Leon! You can't just—hhmpp..." Charlotte froze as her husband grabbed her lips in a tight squeeze.

"Listen, Charlotte, my love, I have a plan for our daughter," Leonel said after moving his lips away from his wife's lips.

"What plans? Please don't mess with my Feli!"

Leonel chuckled amusedly, then gave his wife a quick peck on the forehead. "We'll see, darling. What's certain is that I can't possibly have any bad plans for our daughter."

"Just watch out if your plans get weird! I won't hesitate to cut your big sausage!" Charlotte hissed sharply.

"Ugh! Mommy, don't be cruel to me. If you cut off my big sausage, what will you enjoy?"

"I could enjoy another sausage—"

"Don't even try, Charlotte!" Leonel hissed distastefully.

"Look at you, Leon, you're still possessive."

"I'll continue to be like this to you until I die! You see, if you dare to even glance at other men's sausages, I won't hesitate to skin and burn them!"

Charlotte gaped in disbelief. The forty-three-year-old beauty rolled her eyes lazily. "Sounds creepy," Charlotte taunted. Her husband glared in disbelief.

"I meant what I said—"

"Don't waste time with your nonsense. Better now, you persuade my Feli to eat, Leon! I don't want to know!" This woman immediately walked away from her husband. But not long after, her steps halted, then turned back to Leonel. "I'll wait for you and our daughter in the dining room. If you can't persuade my Feli, don't expect me to enjoy your big sausage again, my dear!" Charlotte said with a smile. But her gaze was piercing. This beautiful woman turned to leave without waiting for her husband to answer her.

Meanwhile, Leonel stared sadly at Feli's bedroom door.

"Don't make your mommy not want to enjoy daddy's big sausage, Baby Girl," Leonel's monologue was tortured.

"Feli, Baby Girl... aren't you hungry?"  Leonel asked his daughter who was curled up in her queen-sized bed.

Feli immediately sat up. She looked at her father angrily. "WHY DID DAD ENTER MY ROOM WITHOUT PERMISSION?!"

"Daddy didn't know when you would open the door for me."

Feli snorted in annoyance. She turned her face in the other direction. This girl watched the movement of the daddy who approached her from the tail of the eye. Feli's hands were clenched tightly remembering Leonel's rejection earlier that afternoon.

Leonel looked at his daughter from the side. Feli's face looked puffy. There was guilt in his heart, for making his Feli cry until she was puffy like that. "Eat up, dear. Aren't you hungry? Your mommy is waiting for us at the dining table-"

"Don't care about me! Doesn't Daddy not love me anymore? Why would Daddy care if I'm hungry or not!" snapped Feli. She shifted her body away as Leonel, who was already sitting on the bed, reached out to her.

"Honey..."

"DON'T DISTURB ME, DADDY!" shouted Feli in annoyance.

"Did Daddy teach you to yell like this at an older people, Feli?"

Feli immediately fell silent, then turned her gaze back to the other direction. In her little heart, she regretted yelling at Leonel like that. But what else could she do, her resentment towards Leonel was still fresh, so don't blame Feli for letting loose like that.

"Listen to daddy, Baby Girl... daddy will grant your wish, as long as-"

"WHAT?" Feli's face lit up. This girl immediately approached Leonel, embracing the man's left arm. "Oh Daddy, I know that you won't refuse my wish. I love Daddy!" Feli's grip on her father's arm tightened, and the girl leaned her head on Leonel's broad shoulder.

"Daddy loves you too, princess. But listen to Daddy first until I finish talking."

"Okay. I will be a good daughter."

Feli released her embrace and looked at Leonel like a child eagerly awaiting the best story in the world. Her eyes blinked playfully. Her chubby cheeks made Feli really look like a living doll.

Leonel smiled gently, then rubbed the top of her daughter's head. "You can have all the best private jets in the world, as long as you're willing to carry out the missions Daddy gives you."

Feli's forehead furrowed. She suddenly had a bad feeling. What was this sign?

"What... does Daddy mean? A mission? Are we playing a game?"

"Let's just say that, darling..."

Feli blinked innocently. "Dad, we're not filming Mission Impossible with my handsome boyfriend. Why is there a mission?"

"Because daddy wants to know how hard daddy's daughter is trying to achieve her wishes. Daddy wants to see daddy's beautiful Baby Girl try first to get what she wants."

"Oh my God..." Feli rolled her eyeballs lazily. It sounded strange, but she would try to hear what Leonel wanted. "What mission?"

"Be a maid in the place-"

"Wait-wait-wait!" Feli cut off Leonel's words with lightning speed. "Didn't I hear wrong?" Feli looked at Leonel. "I heard the word MAID. MAID? Dad, am I supposed to be a Maid? Really, Daddy?! I don't want to!"

"Just one month, Baby Girl-"

"I don't want to even for one second!" cut in Feli again.

"Then there will be no private jet."

Feli's body stiffened as Leonel said that.

"If you successfully carry out the mission that daddy gave you, not only will you get a private jet, but anything you want will come true. How about it, Baby Girl?"

Feli was silent. This girl looked indecisive. In her head, there were so many luxury items that she wanted. One of them is the most expensive diamond ring in the world that will launch in a few months. Not to mention the branded bag that will launch in a month, a bag that is only produced five pieces in the world. Feli is sure to be one of the owners of all five bags!

"Should the mission be Maid, Dad?" asked Feli weakly.

"Only one month, Baby Girl. Daddy's sure you can do it."

Feli bit her lower lip, her fingers twisted around each other. "But it's 'Maid', Dad... Daddy knows I can't do anything on my own."

"Daddy will send you to a place where you won't have too much trouble doing the mission, Baby. Do you trust me?" Leonel said reassuringly.

Feli looked at Leonel skeptically. "Anything I want Daddy will grant me after I succeed in the mission?"

"Anything you want!"

"Promise?"

"Hu um... promise, sweetheart. You know very well that daddy never breaks a promise."

Feli fell silent again.

Being a maid?

In her dreams she had never imagined that she would have to be a maid.

MAID? Oh my God... A cleaning worker? How will her delicate hands be? Then the expensive nail polish she used to use would definitely be ruined.

But... if she didn't sacrifice her delicate hands, the private jet and all the luxury items would just be wishful thinking.

Feli didn't know why her daddy was being strict like this. She looked at Leonel thoughtfully.

“Agreed, baby?

Feli let out a resigned sigh. "Okay, Dad... I... I want to," said Feli reluctantly. "But remember Daddy's promise!" Feli continued in a threatening tone.

Leonel laughed crisply at his innocent daughter's threat. "Daddy promises, my little sweetheart..."

Feli smiled amusedly. If Leonel had called her that, it was a sign that daddy was trying to seduce her so that they were no longer enemies.

"Now we'd better get down to eating. Your mommy's tummy must be noisy from waiting for us for so long," Leonel said humorously.

"Carry me, Dad!" Feli ordered.

Leonel immediately stood up, then turned around. Feli reflexively lunged at Leonel's back, then positioned his arms tightly around the man's neck.

"You're a big boy, but you're still asking to be carried."

"Daddy always says that I'll always look like a baby in your eyes, so don't protest, Daddy!"

Leonel just shook his head in resignation. Then the man stepped out of his daughter's room after he felt that Feli's position on his back was correct.
