Chapter 1

I often see their portraits in the mansion, Senyor and Senyorita. Whenever they have bonuses, they get it from our housekeeper, and sometimes when I don't have school, Mom and Dad would take me along to get the bonus.

As for their only child, I haven't seen him yet. I've only heard about him from the stories of other workers here. They often talk about how handsome and kind he is, especially to Clara.

I never really took an interest because I know we're just their workers, and it's unlikely for me to be noticed. What I know about him is that he's seven years older than me.

I heard he works in the large Saavedra company, aside from their dairy business. They also have a construction company.

Clara's cousin even got a job as an office clerk in the Saavedra construction company. It's true that they're kind because they can provide more than just work here on the hacienda. They can help with education until one finishes and then hire them in their company, just like Clara's cousin.

That's also what I plan to do, which is why I study hard because when I go to college, they can support my education. Even though Mom and Dad never say it, I know they're struggling with expenses.

I came into their lives a bit late, so in the next two years, they will be Senior Citizens. And when their acquaintances who don't know me see them, they often mistake me for their grandchild.

It took nearly three hours for Julia to finally give birth to her baby boy. I was worried for her during labor because I remembered when she was born, we lost her mother, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to Julia and her baby boy. I kept praying that everything would be fine.

"You're all dirty too!" Marco teased me and pinched my cheek. I swatted his hand to make him let go, giving him a stern look.

"Leave me alone!" I scolded him, and as usual, he just laughed at me.

Since everything was okay now, I said goodbye to Mom and Dad, telling them I would freshen up before going home. Our house is quite far from the ranch.

It's not surprising since the Saavedra hacienda is huge, and our house is located at the far end. It takes almost an hour to get home. Luckily, there's a nearby waterfall on the Saavedra's land where you can bathe, so I decided to go there first.

"Let's go to the waterfall!" I called out to Marco, and he nodded in agreement. We hardly ever see anyone at the waterfall because most people prefer to go home and rest after work. It's usually just the two of us who go there for bonding or to have a picnic.

Clara sometimes teases us because we seem like a couple in the things we do. She even jokes if Marco is already courting me or if one of us has feelings for the other. She wonders if anyone has confessed to me or Marco yet. I usually just shake my head and sigh to get her to stop bothering me.

I hung my shirt on a low branch of a tree, and Marco turned to look at me, asking if he could take a bath. I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Are you thirsty?" I asked him with a hint of curiosity. He just stared at me without giving me an answer, so I approached him.

"Hey, what's going on? Are you really thirsty?" Before I could annoy him, he suddenly approached me and excused himself.

"I'll just get some bamboo over there!" He seemed to be joking around again because he didn't wait for my response and quickly left in front of me. This guy is really weird sometimes!

By the way, there's a type of bamboo here that has water inside, which Marco wanted to get. Well, let him do it. He'll follow soon since he can't stand the stickiness on his body.

I bit my lower lip as a thought crossed my mind. Marco wasn't here yet, so it should be fine! I unbuttoned my shorts and hung them together with my shirt.

I laughed at my appearance, wearing just a bra and panties alone at the waterfall. Oh well, I hope no supernatural beings fall in love with me! That would be scary if it happened! I quickly jumped into the water to hide my body and cleanse myself.

I was enjoying my swim so much that I didn't realize how long Marco was gone. I didn't even notice that I had reached the lower part of the waterfall because of the hot weather and the refreshing coolness of the water on my body. I thought of sitting below the waterfall to let the water pour over me. Unfortunately, the rush of water was strong and it poured onto my body.

After a while, I felt my bra loosen on my chest! Luckily, it was a plain tube style without any lace. I screamed as the water washed away my bra.
