Amy sent her CV that night to Caroline. Her friend promised she would send it to the personnel manager the first thing in the morning. Though it was still a work application, Amy felt like there was a hope, and that eventually, everything would be all right. The next day, she went to the center of the Jewelry Palace. It had several outlets at malls and in some of the most elite residences in the capital and also in other cities. But the center was the first place her parents built thirty years ago. Amy stopped outside, staring at the twenty-five levels building from afar. Her lips quivered and she must clench her hands together to stop herself from shedding her tears. The building was the landmark of her parents’ hard work. How could she let her uncle take it away from her? There must be something she could do to fight it back. Somehow, she could only think of Samuel. As he had already promised her, he would take care of everything, even things related to her uncle. Should she ac
Kelly showed Amy the front room first. It was the cafe dining room with some food displayed there. The customers could check their menu from the board on the wall or see the sample of the food displayed on the transparent showcase. “Can I take the food from the display and send it to the customers?” Amy asked. “If the customers ask for them, yes, you can, but ensure the food temperature first. Let’s say the customers want the cake, bread, or donuts hot. Never give the already cold ones to them.” Amy nodded. “I see.” “We will add ice creams soon on our menu, as our customers often come with children,” Kelly said again. “Maybe we will only sell the ice creams on some specific days.” “Only on the weekends?” Amy stared at Kelly. “It’s a good option, as most families visit us on the weekends. But I will give you an additional task, starting from today.” Kelly smiled. “Are you ready?” Amy nodded quickly. “Sure! What is it?” “Pay attention to our customers. Please take a note if an
Meanwhile, Samuel visited Vivian, his grandmother, as she called him to express how she was sad not to see him. Though they just met last week, Vivian loved seeing her grandson frequently. So, she pestered him to go to her house. Samuel smiled while driving his black sports car. While women often got dressed according to their moods, he loved choosing various sports cars to drive. Samuel had at least ten different brands of sports cars with different colors; all of his cars were the most expensive international brands. This time, he chose black because he didn’t want his grandmother to tease him again. The last time he went to his grandmother’s house with a red car was after he sent Cecilia home. Vivian teased him endlessly about his car’s color as a sign of upcoming nuptials and joy. Sighing when thinking of his grandmother, Samuel could never be angry at Vivian. He adored her because she was the only family he got left. After his parents’ deaths, Samuel had lived with Vivian for f
Samuel grinned to see how curious his grandmother was. So, he teased her. “Grandma, what will you give me to reveal your future granddaughter-in-law?” “What are you talking about?” Vivian grunted. “Everything I have is yours. What else do you want?” “I only teased you, Grandma.” Samuel patted his grandmother’s hand. “I know I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you.” He gave her a sad smile. “I didn’t remember my mother and father. But I’ll do my best not to disappoint you.” Vivian took a deep breath. “You are a poor thing.” Then she repeated things she already told Samuel so many times. “Emily, your mother, died when you were still three—breast cancer.” Vivian shook her head. “It’s when Bob’s world collapsed. I had never seen such a loving couple as them …. It seemed … Bob couldn’t live when Emily was gone ….” Her tears flowed to her cheeks, remembering his late son. “Grandma, you told this already. Please don’t be sad. It’s in the past.” “I know, but it still felt like yesterday.
As it was a part-time job with a six hours shift, at 4 p.m. Amy could go home. Caroline and some servers also went home, but the rest of the servers who worked full-time kept working. “Hey, Caro, what do you want for dinner?” Amy asked. “It's a celebration that I got the job.” “Ah, great! But not now. It’s better you treat me when you have already received your first salary. It would feel much better. Right now, I can’t eat as freely as I want.” Amy grinned, knowing her friend only teased her. Caroline knew how hard it was for her because of the debt she must pay. “Okay, then.” Then she remembered her plan to meet his uncle. If she was in a hurry, she might be able to talk to her uncle. “I’ll go now. See you tomorrow.” “Take care!” Then Amy ordered a taxi. Tomorrow, she would ask Caroline for cheaper public transportation since she would be broke soon if she kept using taxis everywhere. After telling the driver her destination, she took a deep breath. Preparing to have a talk wit
Amy clenched her fist because her uncle had already taken everything, but he still dared to threaten her. If only she had more power … If only she had more money to fight him in court. “Mr. Brooke, Miss Brooke, no need to rush. Since the law states that the beneficiaries can take six months to consider the will, I believe it’s better for Miss Brooke to take time to think. Besides, it’s a grieving time. I understand it is a difficult time for all.” What Mr. Beck said was reasonable and comforting. Since he was a lawyer, surely he knew what he talked about. So Amy nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Beck. I appreciate it. It’s indeed a trying time for me.” “It’s the least I can do. So, Mr. Brooke, Miss. Brooke, I think it has been finished. I will send the copies of the will to both of you by mail.” Then the lawyer glanced at Amy. “I will send the copy to your parents’ house. Well, it’s yours now.” “Thank you, Mr. Beck.” Afterward, the lawyer left, saying nothing else to Tom. Amy thought it w
The taxi stopped at the front of the WLS apartment. Paying the driver, Amy stood there, licking her dry lips. This was it! She would sell her body here to Samuel. Sighing, Amy strolled to the lobby. The receptionist smiled at Amy. “Good evening, miss. May I help you?” “Good evening. I want to visit Mr. Hoffner, please.” Amy couldn’t help it, but her cheeks blushed after mentioning Samuel’s last name. “Ah, yes, Mr. Hoffner called earlier. Are you Miss Brooke?” Amy nodded. “Yes, I’m Miss Brooke.” “Wonderful! Please have a seat first. I need to make a call.” Then, after calling, the staff smiled again at Amy. “Miss Brooke, please wait here. Someone will escort you to Mr. Hoffner’s place.” “Thank you.” Amy closed her eyes, waiting for another staff to come. Luxurious apartment might have a specific arrangement to send the guests. While waiting, she gulped and sighed because she was unprepared for this. Who would expect she would be Samuel’s mistress tonight? She still had two days
Samuel didn’t rush and took his time to peel the trousers from Amy’s body. Then he stripped her panties too. Grinning, he bent and kissed the inner side of her legs and then her womanhood. Realizing what he did, Amy whispered, “D-don’t ….” “You will like this too. Trust me.” Then Samuel stripped his clothes, all of them until he stood in nude. Amy gasped when she saw her erect hardened member. She sat and took a pillow, covering her private body parts with the pillow. Her eyes widened, and she bit her lower lip. “Back to lying on your back, my sweet,” Samuel told her. “B-but ….” She licked her dry lips. Her stare was still on his manhood. He grinned. He realized Amy was a virgin, and she was afraid of what would happen next. But then he gripped her feet, kissed from her ankles, and then went upper to her thighs and legs. Finally, he reached her sensitive part. Then he reached his hand to the pillow, took it from covering her body, and placed the pillow below her thighs. “
