I happily went home and gave my mother my salary from cleaning the condo unit with Budang.“You? Maybe you don't have money left.” I smiled at my mother.“Oh, you guys take care of that, Mama. I still have money here. Besides, if it's in my hands, for sure, tomorrow, it'll be gone. Tomorrow, that money will be gone. Why? Because I'll just buy snacks like chichirya, do you want some?” I asked, grinning."You really are a child, you love junk food so much that our goods in the store are almost out of chichirya because you've already eaten.” My mother said, and I laughed. My father was watching basketball in the living room, and I was in my parents' room while my mother was busy putting folded clothes in their cabinet, while I was lying on their bed talking to my mother about selling balut later.I was tired earlier, but when I got home and saw my parents, my tiredness suddenly melted away. But, because I have somewhere to go tonight, I might just sleep for a while.It's Saturday today,

I was practically breathless, running to avoid being an hour late. I was already an hour late, actually, and I might be even later. Maybe they would've dragged me out of the building already, but since my bodyguard didn't follow me, I breathed a sigh of relief. “I explained everything about why you were late, Miss Mahinhin. I'm not sure if he was listening. I had the office cleaned by a cleaner earlier, but since you were the one assigned to him, I don't know if he'll hire you again.” Mrs. Rival said. I sighed. “Should I go see Madam? Does he have a meeting now? Or work? So I can apologize to him, it won't happen again, Madam, I'll be even earlier.” I said, breathless. I felt the pain in my side again. I felt dizzy from exhaustion from running to the building. “I'll make up for the cleaning later, Madam.” The old woman looked at me with a meaningful expression. “It's up to you—” “Should I go to the 25th floor, Miss Rival, to apologize?” I said, restless, I was afraid of gettin

I got home at night. Mom texted that they had already gone home earlier because of dad's wishes and now he was in his room and sleeping, probably from the medicine he was taking. “Hello mama,” I greet my mother when she opened the door. I waved and I closed and locked the door before following her who seemed quiet. She must have been sleepy from waiting for me. I told her earlier to go to bed first but she didn't listen until I got home, if papa was awake, they would have been waiting for me. “Have you eaten yet, Unique? There's still food in the pot, I cooked chicken stew and that's what your dad and I ate.” Mama said and went to the kitchen and I followed. "I've already eaten, ma, but I suddenly got hungry because you mentioned chicken, I'll eat again even if it's just chicken stew and no rice. I'll take care of it, go to sleep and–” I was surprised when mom suddenly lifted up my t-shirt. "Aside from the money being stolen from you, there's something happened to you, Uni

“Cherry-” “Oh, Anne, it’s you. What did you buy?” I thought I heard the name of Boss Izaak’s sibling, but it wasn’t. I quickly went to the counter before the line got too long. I also hurried to work after arriving at the building, afraid of receiving another warning. “Good morning, Mrs. Rival.” She looked at me, her brow furrowed. “I thought Mr. Legaspi gave you a leave because you were sick yesterday that you had a fever,” she said, so I smiled as sweetly as sugar. “Sir Izaak is a good chooser, ma’am.” “Huh? Good at what?” “I mean, hehe… sir Izaak is good at choosing a good nurse to take care of me, so I’m well now, and here I am, going to work because it’s a waste of money if my salary is deducted just because of my absence. Besides, I’m still new, even if my role here is just a cleaner, you should still be honest with your work, especially with your work hours,” I said to her without beating around the bush. “Is that so? You’re such a hardworking child. Are you really ok

Thinking about money is so sleepy. I was already yawning on the jeep, and now here at work again. My fellow cleaners are wondering why I have eyebags, even though we went home early yesterday. they thought I went to a bar to hang out with friends. They know I don’t have a boyfriend, so they didn’t mention it.I just let them think about what they want. I don’t have time to explain what really happened. It’s ugly that money is the reason for my sleepless nights, even if it’s true.“Sigh!”"Hey, that's deep, are you okay?” Sunshine, Sir Izaak’s secretary, asked me. Speaking of him, where is he? It’s past eight o’clock, and he’s still not here. Does he know I was going to borrow money from him? That’s why he’s late? Hmm."I'm fine, when will the boss arrive?"“Hey, do you miss him already? Aww!” I immediately shook my head at my friend Sunshine’s words."What are you saying? No. Maybe he needs me to clean something because, you know, I’ll go down to eat. I feel like my stomach is hungry,
