The laughter-filled small talk was interrupted when Serena heard a screech from a child at the orphanage behind them."Miss, we've finished exercising. Can I take a shower?" asked the 11-year-old boy who was already in front of Serena."Sure. Just dry your sweat first.""Okay, Miss."After seeing the boy leave, Serena frowned slightly at Tora's unusual expression."No wonder it smells like tamarind. Uh, apparently hmmm," Tora sneered while sniffing her sense of smell towards Serena.Gadi giggled in embarrassment because what she just said was true."Oh yeah. You haven't told me the reason for coming here," Serena muttered as if she was demanding an answer to her words."Take a shower first, I'm not interested in talking to a beautiful girl who smells bad," Tora said with a point. Serena got up from her seat while pursing her lips. Still followed by Tora who was behind her, the girl walked stumblingly towards the room."You can stay in the living room. I thi

              Serena scratched the back of her neck, which was not itchy at all. Seeing the behavior of the girl beside him, Jason stopped walking. His eyes stared fixedly at Serena who still couldn't understand the meaning of the words just now.              Jason chuckled softly and then tweaked Serena's nose to make the girl successfully pursed her lips."Let's, not mince words, just get to the point," annoyed Serena.The man cleared his throat for a moment. "Barra is just as manipulative as that old fart Mister William. So you better be careful. As far as I know, he's the only one who knows that you're daddy's biological daughter. See?""So what does that have to do with me, Jason? I didn't even do anything," Serena said even more incomprehensibly.           &n

              Barra hissed softly as she freed her arm from Sandra. Despite being warned several times, the girl did not lose her mind to tried various ways to stay close to the handsome GM."We should get closer than to keep cat-and-mouse like this," persuaded Sandra who had now managed to sit next to Barra.              The man sighed softly while shaking his head. Didn't the father rethink what his fate would be if he married a woman who was not much different from the annoying Tita? Hah, maybe both of them are the ideal type of son-in-law for Mr. William. Spoiled, possessive, manipulative, and of course money-oriented like the businessmen they are. That's what Barra has in mind now. Even though his mother's nature was very far from these characteristics."Hi, Tita!" greeted Sandra when she noticed Barra's sister-in-law approachin

"Why?"Serena shook her head softly. "I'm going home."Hearing the answer from the girl behind him, Jason immediately laughed."Of course. To that tiny housing estate, right?""You're mocking me? It's the result of my hard work," Serena snapped in protest when Jason made fun of her house."Okay. Where do you think I'm going to take you? You wouldn't want to live at Daddy's if it wasn't on your terms, right?" Jason had a point.Serena was still silent and waiting for the man's next words."Calm down. I just want to drop you off. Don't be stubborn, Serena Queen Adhisty," Jason added again.              Serena had no choice but to obey her late father's assistant. Moreover, no orphanage administrator could take her to her destination or at least to the border terminal."You can continue your journey. I'll be here waiting for other passengers to join," Serena

              Sure enough, what Jason feared began to happen. Serena, who had just finished refreshing her body, had an uninvited guest. Not even expected at all."Serena! Are you inside?""Hey, is anyone inside?"              Many more shrieks were heard from several neighbors who were already in front of her gate. Still with a towel perched on top of her head, Serena appeared. The smile on the girl's beautiful face immediately faded when she saw the stares of the people who saw her. Some of them chuckled as if they were disgusted by her wet hair wrapped in a towel."Didn't you wash your hair last night?" quipped one of the men."Sorry, what's going on?" asked Serena who still didn't understand the meaning of the question just now."No need to be hypocritical. What a cheater. How many men have you slept with?" a
