Chapter 81 - 81. Become Awkward (2)

Glancing at the clock that was perfectly circular on her wrist, Anna walked towards the nearest minimarket, deliberately stepping slowly to give a lot of time to the lovers in the house.

How could that man ask her to stay at work on a day off and present a situation like that in the morning?

Even though she is just a cleaning service, it doesn't mean that her self-esteem and feelings are also that low. She was very upset.

"Did the man forget that every morning I would come?" And Anna kept throwing up all sorts of grunts of the same kind.

"Or should I just go home?"

"No, no. I don't want my salary cut," she said again, shaking her head.

Lowering the mask that covered half of her face, Anna then let out a shaky breath.

"Looks like there's no other way but to keep going back to that house," she muttered again resignedly.

"Your body is very good, dear," Edward said after finishing their sex.

Byanca didn't respond and just smiled, she was very tired, and maybe need some sleep?

Suddenly the alarm in the room went off, startling them both. It was past seven o'clock.

Instantly Byanca rose from her position, the tired feeling in her body seemed to disappear, "It's terrible! Edward quickly wakes up, clean your body and get out of here."

As if understanding her meaning, Edward immediately got up and walked to the bathroom. Byanca did the same, deciding to take a bath together to save time.

Only a few minutes later, Byanca have been wearing her dress, while Edward, the man was wearing Devan's clothes.

"Are you sure it's okay if I put them on, my clothes might still be down there, honey? Let me go down and get them," Edward said.

"No, what time is it. Devan has a lot of clothes, he won't notice if only one is missing, Trust me," Byanca replied.

"Okay, then tonight I will send you the address, you have to come, ok?" said Edward.

"Yes, it's up to you. Now hurry. Before Devan comes," said Byanca who was already panicking.

Down the stairs quickly, Byanca ushered Edward out after looking around the house through the window.

"Don't worry, no one will see me, unless Devan suddenly comes back," Edward said casually.

"Come on, go quickly," Byanca said pushing Edward's body.

Seeing the woman's reaction, Edward smiled lopsidedly, "Calm down, honey. The people who work at Devan's house are still sleeping, believe me. They'll only wake up during the day, maybe?" he said then chuckled.

"Alright, alright, whatever it is, just go," replied Byanca.

"Hmm, I'm waiting for you tonight. You have to come, I don't accept excuses."

"Okay," Byanca replied curtly.

After that Edward left, walking towards the car park. Byanca who saw the man's car parked there wondered.

'How did that man enter this house? While someone at the gate stands guard for twenty-four hours.'

'And what did he say earlier? All the workers in this house are still sleeping? Did Edward do something to them?' And various similar questions popped up in Byanca's mind.

He was very anxious and worried, even when the man's car was already starting to drive towards the gate. Byanca was very scared, because what would happen if Devan suddenly came and meet the man.

Until Edward was out of sight, Byanca reflexively leaned against the door with a sigh of relief. Immediately she dismissed all the questions that filled her mind about how the man entered this house, maybe she would ask another time?

However, the next second, Byanca's body stiffened again. Devan's shirt that she was wearing along with Edward's clothes she had to get rid of from the living room as soon as possible.

Byanca immediately ran like a madman, only her steps suddenly stopped when she no longer found a single piece of clothing there.

Her body fell to the floor, someone came without her knowing.

Who? Devan? Mommy Sierra? Leo? Who?

Pale as ashes were Byanca's face at this time.

She immediately looked for her cellphone and intended to contact the people just to confirm their whereabouts.

With her heart racing, she contacted Leo first.

"Hello," Byanca greeted when she heard the call connected.

"Hello," Leo replied, her voice sounding very hoarse, typical of waking up.

"Leo where are you now?" asked Byanca directly.

"At home, what's wrong? I'm still sleepy Byanca," Leo replied, yawning occasionally.

"Where's Devan?"

"Looks like Devan is in the bathroom," Leo replied.

Byanca breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why? Did something happen?" the man asked again.

"Ah no, no. I just wanted to know how he was," Byanca said.

"Erm, whereas only last night you asked about his condition. How lucky Devan is to have a woman who worries about him all the time," Leo replied in one breath.

Byanca just laughed crisply at the man's response.

"Did you have a good night?" Leo asked again and it managed to make Byanca tense up, not without reason because the man's question sounded very ambiguous.

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"Last night when you said that you were cold, did the heating work properly, did you sleep well? Are you comfortable?"

Instantly a sigh of relief escaped from between Byanca's lips, "Um, of course. I slept very well."

"Good. Then that's it, I still want to sleep."

"Okay."

And after the call ended, however, Byanca couldn't calm down. She immediately contacted Mrs. Seira again.

Talked to Mrs. Seira for a few minutes, the middle-aged woman also gave the same answer as Leo, and it made Byanca feel relieved. Her worries were instantly in vain.

As long as it wasn't those three who came, then everything would be fine.

Feelings of sleepiness and tiredness suddenly came back to her. Byanca stepped into Devan's room, the woman intended to sleep, because last night Edward tortured her

***

Anna, who had bought all the groceries she needed, didn't immediately leave the convenience store, the woman counted the money that was left in her wallet because it seemed that with her belongings, she couldn't go home on foot.

This time Anna shopped with her pocket money, although she felt sorry afterward. time and time again she convinced herself that the money she paid for groceries was nothing compared to staying in the house and being a good listener.

She could have gone elsewhere, without spending a penny, but where? She had no purpose she could use as an excuse when Devan looked for her other than to buy groceries.

Sitting for a few minutes in front of the minimarket, then Anna started to go back to Devan's house.

"Hmmm, I hope they're done," she muttered.

Arriving in front of Devan's house, Anna had a little trouble carrying her groceries. Mr. Lukman hasn't woken up yet, so Anna has to open the gate herself like she did this morning. Just because she didn't want to wake up that security.

Not only Mr. Lukman, but Mr. Deden and Mr. Hendra also have not shown any signs of their existence.

"Ahh, looks like I'm the only one who stays busy on this holiday," she sighed harshly.
