Feli walked stumblingly through the campus park. After two days of not going to class because she was not feeling well, more precisely too shocked by the mission her Daddy gave her, now Feli is feeling better even though her heart is not fine.
"Why did I have to agree to the conditions Dad gave?! Damn it! Becoming a maid? This is really beyond common sense! Is Daddy possessed by an evil spirit, to ask his beautiful daughter to become a maid?!" Feli grumbled. "My smooth, soft skin will definitely turn as rough as gravel!" Feli continued to grumble as she walked towards her class that was about to start in thirty minutes. "There's no point in me getting a higher education if I'm just going to be a maid. For God's sake! MAID?! Argh! If I didn't want to compete with that Selena bitch without Gomes, I wouldn't be willing to go on this mission!"
"Dude, you're like Superman who hasn't eaten in a thousand years."
There was a mocking sentence from a man accompanied by the laughter of several other men. It succeeded in making Feli stop his steps. Not far from where he was standing, Feli saw a young man with thick glasses being surrounded by six other young men.
"Don't you have a bigger shirt than this? Your shirt is like the window curtains in my house, Dude."
There was another disdainful laugh coming from the six youths.
Feli rolled her eyeballs lazily. In Feli's opinion, those young men were the scum of this campus, for always bullying the weak. Feli always disliked seeing that. Although she was arrogant, Feli never insulted the weak. Feli prefers to deal with people who her feels have the same strength as her. Doesn't that sound fair?
Feli stepped towards the young men. Then after arriving, this girl patted the shoulder of one of the youths who surrounded the young man with glasses in oversized clothes who seemed to be being severely bullied.
"What the hell-Ah... Felicity?? Hey, beautiful! Can I help you?" the young man greeted. He wanted to be angry that someone had dared to tap his shoulder, but after turning around and finding out that it was one of the most popular girls on campus, his face lit up.
The other five young men were immediately stunned because they were too mesmerized to see Feli's face up close.
All this time, all the young men were only able to stare at Feli from afar, because Feli didn't really like being close to people she didn't know well. So when Feli approached them this time, they seemed to get a bonus from God.
Feli chuckled, then glanced at the young man with glasses who was currently also staring at her. Feli's gaze turned back to the young man in front of her. "Yes, I really need your help, Willie." Feli smiled sweetly.
"What, honey?" asked Willie more enthusiastically. When else would this popular girl who was famous for not liking to be approached by men need his help. Willie had to make the most of this opportunity.
Feli's smile disappeared. It was replaced with a cold, dismissive stare. "Stop laughing! You know, the sound of your laughter almost ruined my ear." Feli pointed to her ear with one hand. Her eyes glared at the young man named Willie.
Willie's five friends widened their mouths in disbelief. Meanwhile, Willie choked on his own saliva.
"Sorry, Baby, w-what do you mean?"
"Aren't you ashamed of besieging like this?” asked Feli as she glanced at the man with glasses who was behind Willie.
"I-"
"What a shame! Don't you have the courage to fight that 'superman who said he hasn't eaten for a thousand years' by yourself? Hahaha... You poor thing, Willie! But I'm not surprised. Your body looks as small as a starving worm, and that's why you're only capable of playing in a team," Feli exclaimed while giving Willie a condescending look.
Willie's body stiffened. His hands were clenched tightly into fists. "Hey! You bitch, stay out of this!"
"What did you say?! I'm a bitch?! If I'm a bitch, then what are you?! A cowardly man! I doubt that your 'weapon' can stand up!" mocked Feli while staring at the area under Willie's stomach, which further angered the young man.
Willie raised his hand to punch Feli. But suddenly, his body fell badly due to someone's fist.
Feli turned her gaze towards someone who was already standing beside her.
"Don't you dare touch my lady, you bastard!" said the person flatly.
"You... why did you come out of hiding, Eric?!" screeched Feli unhappily.
"Sorry, Miss, but it's my duty to protect you with my life."
"But I'm okay!"
"That young bastard almost punched you, can that be said to be 'okay'?" asked the handsome man named Eric who was currently wearing black formal clothes. Not forgetting the sunglasses perched beautifully over his eyes. His facial expression was flat and cold.
Feli snorted in annoyance. She can't turn those words around. The words of her daddy's loyal bodyguard were true.
Damn!
Actually, Feli really didn't like it when her movements were always monitored by her daddy through the bodyguard who had been ordered to guard her from afar since she was thirteen years old.
For God's sake, she felt like a baby being watched by a babby sitter. But Feli couldn't do anything about it, because she knew it was all for her own good. Leonel's business rivals were spreading across the country, and it was not uncommon for some to play dirty by harming the family members of his business rivals.
Feli's gaze turned back to Willie. "It hurts, doesn't it? I actually don't like it when my Daddy's bodyguards interfere. But it looks like you deserve it because of the injury Andrew got." Feli pointed at the bespectacled man who had been bullied by Willie and his friends.
There was indeed a cut on the corner of the young man's lip named Andrew. Not to mention his climactic hair, which was usually neatly arranged, looked very messy. It looked like Willie had physically abused the poor boy.
Willie was only able to grimace in pain while looking annoyed at Feli. Meanwhile, the other five youths immediately left the place in fear. Who would dare to fight the son of Leonel Addison. Not to mention Feli's bodyguard who had an athletic body. Not comparable to the bodies of all of them.
"Look, your friends are even more cowardly than you, Willie. You'd better leave, and stop being such a badass on this campus."
Willie was silent for a moment, then immediately got up and walked away from Feli. Of course, still with an annoyed face.
Damn it! Hoping to get close to Feli, the man received a death blow instead.
After Willie's departure, Feli turned to look at Eric. "Go away. I want to go to class."
Eric was silent for a moment. Staring at Feli with a gaze that was hard to interpret, then nodded stiffly afterwards. The thirty-three-year-old man went back into hiding to watch Feli from afar.
"Fe-Feli..."
Feli turned around. Her gaze met the gaze of the blue-eyed man behind his glasses.
"Th-thank you for... helping me," the man said nervously.
Feli chuckled, then patted Andrew's shoulder. That made Andrew even more nervous. Moreover, the scent of Feli's feminine perfume and shampoo teased his sense of smell.
"You should learn martial arts, Andrew. And change your appearance, so that you will no longer be underestimated by others. Come on in. Our class will start soon." Feli walked in first without waiting for Andrew's reply.
Andrew did not immediately take a step. He stared at Feli's back who was starting to move away from sight with an admiring gaze that could not be hidden. Feli was a girl who had been in the same class as him since they were in high school, and they were reunited in college with the same major, and several times in the same class. They had never had a conversation during this time. But Andrew had secretly had his heart set on that girl, the girl who was famous for fighting with Selena.
And Feli's defense earlier, made Andrew's feelings for Feli even more.
"If I change my appearance, will you look at me, Felicity Addison?" Andrew monologued hopefully.

"Feli, where have you been? I keep contacting you, but you seem to have disappeared," Sally said when she met Feli in the parking lot of their campus.
Feli saw her best friend watching her. Sally must have seen the terrible bags under her eyes. It had been three days since they had seen each other. Yesterday, when Feli went to campus, she didn't find Sally. Maybe it was because she was still not in a good mood yesterday, so Feli deliberately did not look for Sally.
"I'm stressed thinking about something," said Feli listlessly.
Sally looked at her best friend's tired expression and tried to pry for more information. Usually Feli was always cheerful and outspoken in speaking. However, this time she seemed to be carrying a heavy burden.
"We have to talk face-to-face, Feli," Sally exclaimed.
Feli could only follow her best friend's footsteps as Sally pulled her by the arm to their secret place, on the roof of the campus building where only a few people could climb all the way to the roof.
They both chose to skip the first course. Because talking to each other was far more important than piling up the burden alone again.
"Tell me, what happened to you?" Sally asked directly. Her eyes seemed to be investigating Feli.
Feli let out a long breath. She felt her long flowing hair waving in the wind. It was no different from Sally's hair.
Feli stared straight ahead with a blank stare. "In order to get a limited edition private jet, I accepted the challenge given by my Daddy to become a maid," Feli said. "What nonsense," Feli muttered.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her daddy was possessed by an evil spirit.
"WHAT!!! MAID? SERIOUSLY?" screeched Sally and Feli nodded lazily.
"Why are we in the same boat? WHAT THE FUCK!" Sally grabbed her own hair in frustration. The girl walked back and forth in front of Feli, leaving Feli clueless about her best friend's reaction.
"What do you mean?"
Sally stopped her movement and sat down beside Feli. "My daddy also gave me that damn mission to pass. If I want an island and its facilities, I have to become a maid in an unknown place later," Sally told Feli.
Feli glared. "Hell! Are they all in cahoots to play a prank on both of us?!" Feli accused unhappily.
Or was her best friend's Daddy also possessed by an evil spirit?
Sally shrugged. "My allowance has been reduced this week and my limited edition credit card has been withdrawn," Sally complained.
"Huh? Are you serious about this?" Feli was shocked. She couldn't believe that Daddy Sally would go that far with her only child. Good thing her Daddy didn't do the same.
Poor Sally...
Sally nodded languidly. "My Daddy became very cruel to me. Every day I was asked to supervise the performance of all the maids in my house. You know, I was even told to learn their work. It's disgusting, isn't it?" said Sally in frustration.
Feli patted Sally on the shoulder. " Feli patted Sally on the shoulder. "To be able to achieve what we want, I'm sure we can get through everything," Feli said encouraging Sally and herself.
"Yeah, I don't want those two bitches to feel victorious. How could they both claim to have displaced both of us!" Sally said angrily.
Feli nodded enthusiastically. "No one can unseat the Twins Queen on this campus!"
Sally and Feli high-fived.
"Tonight I'll treat you to an all-you-can-drink. It's been a while since we had fun," Feli said happily. Feli really felt sorry for Sally.
"You're my best friend, Feli. I love you so much," said Sally and they both chuckled.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME, DAD?!" Feli widened her eyes in disbelief.Leonel flashed a reassuring smile at his daughter."Daddy, do you know what? Being a maid is already hard for me. And Dad is throwing me into another country?! Dad, is Daddy healthy?" asked Feli again unhappily. "Oh... I'm sure Daddy is not well at the moment!" snorted Feli irritably.Feli was very surprised when Leonel gave her a plane ticket to Spain. Even more surprised, the flight ticket was a regular class ticket. Isn't it cruel?! Her buttocks would definitely hurt throughout the trip. She who used to use a high class plane every vacation abroad had to use a plane with hard seats? Oh... maybe it was an exaggeration, because the seats on a regular class plane would not be as hard as she imagined, but still Feli couldn't accept all this.This would really be her first time using a regular airplane."Was I really your daughter?! How could Daddy ask me to be a maid in a foreign country?!" asked Feli with a hurt look. Fel
Feli looked around the two-story apartment that she had entered only moments ago.'This apartment is huge! Will I be able to clean all the furniture in here? How many people live in this apartment? Did Daddy lie to me? Didn't Daddy say he would put me in an easy place? Then what is this?!' Feli was upset. She wondered to herself anxiously. 'Oh my God, was my decision right?'"Well, Dulce niña (Sweet Girl), here you will be working. I hope you do well."Feli tried to smile, albeit awkwardly at the woman in front of her. A woman who looked so elegant and beautiful. At the airport, Feli was picked up by several men dressed in all black. Clothes similar to her father's bodyguards. Then she was taken to this apartment, and immediately met the woman currently standing in front of her. Feli couldn't guess how old the woman in front of her was. It seemed to be the same age as her mother, or maybe younger?“Dulce niña…”Dulce niña? What does that mean? Ever since Feli had arrived, that woman h
"Wh-what???"Feli returned to scrutinizing the strange man. She quickly averted her gaze when the man gave her a displeased look. "Um... I thought your son was still small, but he's already as big as a giant," Feli said innocently.The strange woman laughed again. Feli was amazed to see that the woman's face still looked very young. Feli still couldn't believe that the woman had a child as big as the man who had been intimidating her with his gaze."Mah-dreh, look, this girl is so disrespectful to me!" hissed the man, as Feli returned his attention as if judging him. The man did not like being noticed in such a way like what Feli was doing to him. Moreover, Feli's words sounded sassy in his ears.Feli's forehead furrowed. Why did the man look upset? What did he say? Why did he use foreign language again?Ugh... can't they speak in normal language? Feli meant, use a language that she could understand. So that he doesn't look stupid like this.Meanwhile, the woman who was Feli's employe
>>"Mah-dreh and your Pah-dreh are going on our honeymoon. While Mah-dreh is away, you must not cause any trouble, Mi-Hijo! Especially to your new maid. Don't try to kick her out of your apartment! Only Mah-dreh has the right to dismiss her.""What???? Ma—">>"No argument!">>"Honey, we have to leave soon.">>"Wait a minute, Husband... I have to warn our son so that he doesn't make trouble while we're gone."There was a crisp laugh from the other side, which Jerrald was sure was his father's.Jerrald rolled his eyes in annoyance. Did he still look like a child!"Mah... The new maid is working in my apartment, of course I have the right to kick her out if she does an incompetent job, Mah-dreh!">>"If her work is incompetent, you wait until Mah-dreh comes home. Mah-dreh doesn't want to be fooled again like before."Jerrald groaned inwardly. His mother must have been talking about his behavior of kicking out the maids who worked with him before. Even though the maids had done a good job.
"How is her condition?""Still beautiful beyond belief.""Noe, I'm not joking!""Tsk! Cousin has no sense of humor.""You just answer what I ask. No need to talk all the way!""Well, Mr. Mendez, I apologize for your cousin's impudence. She's fine, just a common fever. It looks like this cute, pretty girl is exhausted. You... have been torturing her, haven't you? You must have made her work endlessly.""Don't talk nonsense! I haven't even given her a job once!" hissed Jerrald in disgust when his maternal cousin accused him of that.Jerrald turned his gaze towards the beautiful girl who was currently lying weakly with her eyes perfectly closed on the bed of one of the guest rooms in this apartment. The room her new maid would have been in, had Jerrald not carried out his devious plan.Jerrald's hands were crossed. He stared at his maid with the man's typical flat, cold expression. His mind drifted as he recalled the events of almost an hour ago.Jerrald had found his new maid lying on t
Feli opened her eyes and found a man sitting in a chair next to the bed. The man was busy with the laptop in front of him.Her employer? What was he doing here?In silence, Feli watched the employer, and remembered why she was lying on this fairly soft bed. The comfort of this bed was far different from the bed in the room she was staying in. The room where she had rested earlier after arriving at the apartment.Feli's mind wandered. Earlier... she was thirsty after crying for about an hour in that cramped room. That was after her new employer wrapped her injured finger with a bandage, then ordered her to go back to rest.Her head was dizzy from crying for so long. The pain in her finger made her body hot and cold. Moreover, her stomach had not been filled since arriving in this country. The apple she had bitten earlier was not eaten because of the incident in the kitchen.Feli recalled, with a heavy head, Feli walked slowly towards the kitchen to drink. However, when she reached the
"Is it like this? I think this will do."Feli pressed the ON button on the electric coffee pot after putting coffee into the machine. The beautiful woman learned how to use it through a search engine, and matched the image on the search engine with the electric coffee pot available in this kitchen.Yesterday the employer had ordered her to make the man coffee every morning, and this was what she was doing today."Hm... what should I do while waiting for this coffee to be made?" Feli tapped her fingers on the pantry table. "Cleaning this apartment? Tsk! The day of torture begins," Feli said depressed.Feli stepped towards the place where the vacuum cleaner was placed. Yesterday her employer had told her where the cleaning tools were kept in the apartment.Feli pushed the vacuum cleaner out of the room.Dug!Feli paused as the tool accidentally collided with the wall. Not long after, Feli crouched down so that her body was parallel to the tool she was pushing, then checked whether it wa
"Mr. Mendez, the company—Um... Sir?"Jerrald snapped out of his reverie as the secretary roused him. He glanced around.Ah... he was in his office. Even standing right in front of his desk. Jerrald hadn't realized he'd been daydreaming since he left the meeting room."What is it, Eloy?""Is there something on your mind?" asked Eloy worriedly. The boss seemed to lack focus. Not just this time, but since the meeting room.Several times Eloy had to snap Jerrald out of his reverie. That, of course, made Eloy anxious. Could it be that the boss was not feeling well?This was the first time Jerrald was not focused at work.
