In the car, Xander saw that Suzie conversed with the shop owner for a long time. When he saw Suzie giving the shop owner a hug, he guessed that Suzie must be acquainted with the shop owner and she was bidding goodbye.When Suzie returned to the car, Xander did not ask her anything and drove quietly. "Do we still have time?" Suzie suddenly asked.Xander glanced at his phone. There was no message or miscall from his father."I think so.""Can you drop me off at one more place?"Xander guessed that Suzie was visiting her acquaintances and updating them about her situation or she must be saying goodbye. It was a personal matter so Xander did not ask her about it and just agreed.Half an hour later, he parked his car in a desolate alley.The sun had not settled yet but the area around here was dark. There were also a group of men standing in front of the establishment and seemingly looking out at the surroundings.Xander looked at Suzie who was about to go out of the car."Is it really t
Suzie was well aware of her situation. She was kept inside the Albrecht mansion like a prisoner. Her life and death belonged to Reyna, the boss of the mountain villa. For now, she was safe in this prison because the warden had some use for her. But afterward, when things get better for Reyna, she could be thrown away anytime. She would be fine if she would just be casually thrown away like being expelled from the Albrecht family. But being 'thrown away' means being buried somewhere in the Albretch's mountain villa. During the confrontation with Kingsley and Reyna, Suzie realized that Reyna's thoughts could be easily swayed. She could trust her at one moment, then sell her for a simple reason the next moment. One word from Kingsley might change everything. Suzie would not rely on her safety on someone else especially not on Reyna. Ever since she entered the Albrecht mansion and got mixed in this situation, she had already thought of the escape plan. If her life was threatened, t
Suzie left the room with another heavy stone lifted from her chest. She did not trust Manager King but out of all the managers in the black market, he was the best person she knows. She could at least handle Manager King. What she said earlier about washing her hands off from the underground market was true. She was very principled and did not do jobs related to drugs, human trafficking, prostitution, and murder. But other things besides that, she would accept the job as long as it was paying. She becomes the hands and feet of many 'confidential' people who don't want their identity leaked out. In her experience, it was very easy to be mixed with danger and got yourself killed because of a single mistake. So she chose her job carefully. She would rather work as a janitor than someone from the black market. But the times when her grandmother was sick and after her grandmother died, she had to accept some dangerous job to survive. While she was doing her risky job, she happens to
The strumming of the guitar and the tense beat in the background was playing. A man's voice filled with melancholy and bleakness appeared on the radio.[That there. That's not me. I go. Where I please~I walk through wallsI float down the LiffeyI'm not hereThis isn't happeningI'm not here*~]Javier: "..."He hated today's song.Why all the song was all about sadness and melancholy?Javier had no choice but to keep on listening. He was only been freed by it when Suzie came home."I'm home." His wife's excited voice made Javier finally freed from the lonely mood. He joyfully moved his right hand as a sign of welcoming her.He had been wanting to reply to her whenever she announced her arrival. And today, he could finally do it.Suzie noticed Javier's fingers waving. This made her smile."You are awake? How do you feel today?"Javier raised his forefinger. Suzie had been communicating with Javier through his fingers. She learned that raising his forefinger meant a positive respons
Suzie could see that Javier was wavering. When she asked him a question whether he wanted to accept Dylan's offer, Javier did not respond. Although he was silent, Suzie could somehow tell that he was struggling to make a decision. She doesn't know the history between Dylan and Javier. But for Javier to hesitate means that he has some resentment towards Dylan. However, as she said, they don't have a choice but to trust Dylan. There were only a few people who were willing to help Javier. In their position, they need all help that they could get. This was the only way for Javier to recover faster. At least based on what Suzie sees, Dylan was sincere in helping Javier. Naturally, Javier thought of this. What's the use of his resentment when he could not even speak of it? He should wake up first before he could do anything else. Javier's finger moved. He finally agreed. Suzie could not help but squeeze his hand. This was not an easy decision for him. On the next few days, Suzi
Suzie was genuinely happy.She checked the dresses earlier while helping the three women choose their dresses. A lot of them were so pretty that they caught her eye. But when she checked the price, she was dizzy by the five to six figures on the tag. Now that she could take whatever she wants, she would not shy away from this!Time to get the benefits!Suzie took out the three dresses she found pretty earlier. "I would like to have these." Reyna just glanced at it and nodded. They were expensive but not expensive as hers. Then Suzie went to the shoe area and bought three limited edition heels. Although she could not use all of them, she could sell them. "And these too."Reyna: "...."The three shoes were expensive and one of them has a higher price than one of the shoes she bought today. She did not like it.However, she could not possibly say to Suzie in front of the two madames to change the other one just because it was more costly than one of her shoes, right?So Reyna nodded.
Suzie had never spent a whole day for shopping before. Because she was so busy working in the past, she only buy what she needs through online. When she arrived in the Thomson family and wanted to waste their money, she had done that through online shopping.Sometimes, she visits the store and bought what she needs in a matter of few minutes. But with the madames, they only passed five stores so far and half a day had already passed. On their eighth store, the evening finally come and the assistants behind them had gone back and forth to put their things in the car.When Suzie saw how much Reyna spend today, she kinda regretting only buying three dresses, shoes, and bags. She should have bought ten more!But she knew that Reyna would be unhappy if she pushed more. She could only be satisfied with this and eat a lot when dinner comes.Fortunately, her goal today was achieved. The steel door would be delivered to her home.When Suzie went out of the car, she was mentally and physical
With the existence of the anti-theft steel door, Suzie was a lot more confident to leave Javier in the house alone. No one would be able to enter the master's bedroom and break down the door so easily anymore.It was also a big part of her preparation in case the most-awaited trip came. One afternoon, Suzie who had been waiting for any news from Reyna's side suddenly received a call from Jonathan.According to him, Colton was leaving the country and might stay there for a month due to a billion project with a big corporation in Country S. This was good news.Suzie hoped this chance would be grabbed by Philip and Reyna to go on a trip.A week after that news, Suzie saw Aunt Betty again.Aunt Betty came to the cabin and delivered Reyna's words to her."The Madame is inviting you over."Suzie's eyes lit up. "Did she mention anything else? How is her mood?"Aunt Betty rolled her eyes. She really hated being her spy. "Madame is in good mood. She is busy ordering the other maids to pack h
