I sighed and ruffled my hair. “ Don’t think too much, bebès. Maybe they don’t even need a secretary.”“ But I need this money! How am I supposed to feed myself?!”“ You won’t stay at home, I promise. And guess what?”I rolled my eyes. “ Not interested. Today is already a bad day…”“ The Donovans accepted your request to teach their only son extra lessons!” Sofia giggled as she brought out a file.I looked at her in disbelief. “ This isn’t a prank, right?”“ What kind of prank will make me print these expensive files, huh?”I went through the files and saw Mrs Donovan’s signature. “ Yes!! Yes!!” I had been eyeing this contract ever since I came to this country. Being new and broke, getting a job as a homeroom teacher for the most powerful family in business and politics was actually a big deal. I didn’t think much of it when I applied, since it was very competitive!Their salary was 30% higher than some companies’ secretaries’, almost matching the salary of the company I wanted to appl

The next day, in the afternoon.Coming down from the taxi, I walked toward the huge tall gate in front of me. I tightened my grip on the bag I was holding. I could see two gate men through the opening space in the gate, and when they opened it, I smiled at them and entered.I walked for about five minutes before reaching the main mansion. I stared at it in awe. I used to think the Owen family was the richest, but seeing this mansion was another thing entirely! I suddenly felt this family could easily buy the Owens.I wish I were born into a rich family like this… I wouldn’t have to work this hard just to earn money!! I sighed as I entered the luxurious living room, huge enough to build another house inside it. The chandeliers and lights made it look like heaven!A maid approached me and smiled. “Hello, are you Miss Lisa?”“Yes, I am,” I answered confidently. I had to act professional so they wouldn’t look down on me! The contract wasn’t easy to get anyway.“Follow me, please,” the mai

Kelvin was surprised by my request. “Did you really value this work? I thought you said you have many people waiting on the clue.” He remembered… I almost forgot that I lied. “I know, but I prefer this place more. You can tell me if you want to see her.” “Okay! Fine, I want to see her, so how can you help me with that?” he asked in confusion. “My parents are very strict about me going out. You think you can confuse them?” I smiled awkwardly at him. For some reason, I’m not comfortable!! Those green eyes and innocent face are killing me. “You don’t understand, I will talk to them….” “Ahh, what are you even saying? I don’t think you know how much they hate her.” I rolled my eyes. “You don’t have to worry about that, kid.” Then he frowned deeper. “Kid? I’m 19.” “Then I am 24!” He chuckled while his sharp eyes swept over my body. “You don’t look like your age… why adding to it to make me…” “This!” I placed my birthday certificate in front of him. I came well prepared. Ma

Entering the Donovans’ luxurious mansion, I saw Mrs Donovan and two men in the main living room, chatting. One was wearing white while the second one was wearing black. I could tell from his features that the one in white was Kelvin’s father. The man sitting beside him… very good-looking. I chuckled. From his look, he was bored with whatever Mr Donovan was telling him. He’s very mature, and everything about him— very perfect. I envy his wife! Some ladies are just lucky! They paused when they saw me. Mrs Donovan smiled and stood up immediately. “Ahhh, you are here, Miss Lisa,” she patted my shoulder and looked at her husband. “This is the amazing tutor I was talking about.” Err… amazing tutor, she said? Today is my second day… I blushed and looked away when the two of them looked at me. “Oh really? Thanks.” He stood up to shake my hand, surprising me. I’m surprised not all rich people are rude… Timothy’s parents were very rude, especially his younger sister. “Ahhh… don’t say

He looked at me for a while. “ May I help you, Miss Lisa?”“ Ohh… yes… sure.” Why was I even feeling guilty? Not that I committed any offence. I was only a teacher for his friend’s son! “ I came for a check-up.”He nodded. “ What exactly do you want us to check?”I blinked. Why did I feel like this question was deeper than it appeared? “ I…”“ I mean, where do you want us to focus on? Or do you want a full body check-up?”“ Yes…” I quickly nodded. There's nothing wrong with telling him my problem, but I wasn’t comfortable with the man, and I was even confused about why I was feeling that way.“ Noted.” He then stood up immediately. His blank expression made me feel at ease. We went into a room filled with expensive equipment, some of which isn't common in normal hospitals because patients wouldn’t be able to afford it.After the check-up, he dropped his stethoscope and sighed. I noticed he was trying to hold his anger, making me wonder what I did wrong…“ Madam, if you are having issu
