Eve has been working overtime at night for the past few days. She had yet to hear that the new employee could work late at night. But because of Mrs. Jenny's strict attitude, Eve didn't dare to argue. Moreover, recently, she had seen her boss woman behaving strangely toward her. There seemed to be something wrong, but she didn't know what. Even though she had a tough day at the office, Eve considered it a test during her internship. Maybe Vinestra is the company that initially molds its new employees into tough workers. Hence, it immediately imposes heavy work with long overtime hours. Perhaps it's just their way of finding the best of the best, Eve thought, consoling and encouraging herself. And when Mrs. Jenny became increasingly nasty by blaming her for things that weren't her fault, Eve kept patient. "What's wrong with her? It's like she's having problems with her husband, oh gosh!" grumbled Eve as she stepped out of the room with a permit to the bathroom, even though Eve avoid

"Oh, hi, Eve. I was just talking to Sofia about you," greeted Mrs. Daphne, who welcomed Eve into her office. The woman glanced at the clock on the wall that didn't show the break time for regular employees, so she thought Eve must have an urgent business this time. Was Gery making things difficult for her again? Mrs. Daphne wondered to herself. "I'm sorry, Ma'am. But I dared to come here again because Mr. Gery is making trouble again. Mr. Gery fired Dave because Dave briefly chatted with me in the corridor. I don't think that's a mistake worth punishing so severely, Ma'am." Eve babbled on what she had come to the room. Mrs. Daphne seemed surprised to hear the news. "Oh my! What happens to that child?" Mrs. Daphne complained later. She had to sit back on the sofa to calm herself down because acting out her emotions would not suit her heart health. With Sofia's entrance, Mrs. Daphne told her assistant to call Gery. However, she was even more surprised to find Sofia's response. "I'm

"Good afternoon Eve. Please take a seat. I've been waiting for you," Mrs. Daphne replied.Eve drew her lips into a smile despite the pounding in her chest, wondering what Mrs. Daphne had for her that day.She then sat before the Madame, trying to make herself comfortable. Sofia soon returned with a tray of cold drinks for her."Thank you very much, Mrs. Sofia," Eve said as she sipped her drink. It was enough to cool her throat and hopefully cool her down. God, next time she would have to thank Sofia specifically because the woman often saved her from uncomfortable moments without even being asked.A moment of silence reigned. Mrs. Daphne seemed to wait until Eve had finished her cold drink, and then she spoke up."Are you busy in your division, Eve?" the Madam asked to start the conversation."Yeah, quite a lot, Ma'am. Mrs. Jenni has given me a lot of assignments since day one, and I haven't even touched some of the files because there are so many, hehe." Eve was immediately provoked

In the afternoon before work, Mrs. Daphne deliberately went to Eve's room to inform her directly of the invitation. "Eve, can you come to our residence tonight?" asked Madame Daphne after being in the small room where Eve worked. "Wh-what, Madam? To Madame's residence? But what for?" asked Eve, surprised at the sudden invitation. Come on, going to Gery's house, boss she hated? Impossible! "I invited you to have dinner with us, me and Gery. We need to get to know each other better so we can work together better," Mrs. Daphne replied, accompanied by Sofia. Sofia didn't say anything this time. But it was evident that she was one of the initiators of Madame Daphne's plan. Eve's brain immediately thought about what excuse she could use to refuse the invitation. A refusal that wouldn't offend the boss who had helped her so much, of course. But not a single reason came to mind. Unusually, her brain felt suddenly dull this time, and she could not come up with any ideas. "I'll take your re

After dinner, Eve had passed off blandly due to her curiosity. Madame Daphne took her on a tour of the large room inside the second hallway that led to the private family's rooms. When the door was opened by the servant who had followed them, Eve was greeted by seeing an entire wall full of Foster family photos. The living room and dining room also had a magnificent frame hanging with pictures of the Foster family. Still, there was only one in each room, while in this one, there were so many that Eve could hardly count them, even if she tried to count them quickly with the tail of her eye. Every moment seemed captured in a photo, then framed in a fancy frame, and placed there as the last memory left by Gery's parents and his late grandfather. "This is where the memories of the entire Foster family are kept, Eve. We were destined to have limited descendants. My grandmother only had one son, namely my father. And my mother only gave birth to me. Even my daughter only had one son, that
