Thirty Nine

After Uncle Conrad had left, I got in my car and drove away from the restaurant. I'm so tired that all I want to do is sleep. In half an hour, I was outside the mansion. I took a deep breath before opening the gate. Right now, I'm furious with Mr. Yun; his inebriation should not be an excuse for him to disrespect me. I opened the gate with the remote control.

I also drove in the car. I'm going to take a bath to get rid of the remnants of Mr. Yun's kiss on my neck and chest. I want to kick him and punch him again. Nobody has the authority to offend or disrespect me. I hope he never returns to see me again. I got out of the car. And entered the mansion. I discovered they were all in the living room. Their entire focus was on me.

"Are you all right, Miss? It's like five men chased you with your looks and the sweat on your face," Devora asked.

I walked up to them and sat down.

"Can I please have some water first? I'm very thirsty."

Lucy stood up and walked to the kitchen. He returned a split second later and handed me a glass of water.

"Thank you very much,"
I've already drank the water. And it makes me happy. I'll just get dressed and come back later. They were all nodding in agreement. I walked into the room. I stripped naked and went to the bathroom. I've already begun bathing. Mr. Yun kissed my skin, which I had covered with my hand. I was enraged and offended. I've only encountered a man's unrespectful action once in my thirty-two years of life.



I stepped out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around my entire body. I went into the closet and changed into a dress. After leaving the bedroom, I went back to the living room. I noticed that they were all staring at a man. Uncle Conrad was already on his way. The sight of all the girls surprised him.

"Hello, Elodie, who are they all, and why are there so many?" my Uncle asks, a smile on his face.

"Why are you perplexed about who among them all is truly beautiful?"

"Hmmm, they're all lovely," uncle replied. But I noticed Uncle's gaze was fixed on Laica.

"They've been my family for almost four years, and they're the ones who are with me here in the mansion," I explained.

"It appears to be very exciting for me to live here when I see what I see." Uncle Conrad's office.

"Really? Who are you?" Laica asked, her eyebrow raised.

In my head, I laughed. Uncle Conrad bursts out laughing.

"What about you? Don't you want to see me? Or don't you want me here? It's just that I noticed you raised an eyebrow at me earlier, Elodie. Didn't you tell them who I am?"

"No, Uncle, you must introduce yourself."
"Hmm, by the way, my name is Conrad, and I'm Elodie's Uncle. I'm his mother's stepbrother, in case you're wondering. Well, anyway, long story. You can call me Uncle, except that woman with short hair."

The girls were about to laugh at Laica when they realized her eyebrows were already raised.

"Why is that? You can't be called Uncle anymore, grandpa is better for you," Laica explained as they walked into the room together.

"That woman's patience is too short, where will my room be? I need to sleep," he said to me.

"All right, Uncle," I said, "I'll just go with you."

"Goodbye, ladies."

"That's fine."

Uncle and I went to the guest room together.

"Before all the stuff here, uncle, so it's fine; you can sleep comfortably," I explained.

"Thank you, but I'm not picky, and by the way, what's her name with short hair?"

"Her name is Laica."

"Really? She's lovely; I like her," Uncle said.
I'm cracking up.

"Isn't he ugly? He's like your child, if you look," I said.

"What's wrong with that? Is there an age preference when it comes to love?" he asked. "Unless she's single anymore, I mean if she already has a boyfriend. Doesn't she have a boyfriend?"

"You should ask her; I'm not privy to their personal lives," I replied.

Uncle burst out laughing.

"Of course, go ahead, but you should sleep as well."

I gave a nod. I returned to the living room. Except for Laica, who had already entered the room, they were still sitting. Uncle was probably embarrassed by the fact that he was staring at him. I took a seat next to Devora.
"How's your date going?" Genie asked.

"Disaster, Mr. Yun is trying to do bad things to me; it would be better if Uncle Conrad came, otherwise he might have raped me, and it's really outside the bar house," was my response.

"What? Did I mention that? That man isn't going to do well," Lazzy said.


"Won't you complain, Miss? To get that man back to where he came from?" Mila asked.

"No, but don't he think to come to me because if he does, I'll report him," I said.

"It's best if you find out about his behavior early, Miss, so he can stop flirting with you," Hanna advised.

I exhaled a sigh.

"All right, girls, go to bed because it's late," I said.

I went into my bedroom first and fell asleep. I got up early the next day because I wanted to go to Calvin's house. I'll go when he is already in the office so we don't see each other. I went to bed after using the bathroom. When I left the room, I was already dressed. I immediately go to the kitchen. Uncle Conrad was standing in the way of Laica when I arrived. What I saw made me smile.
"Let me go! What are you doing? You act like an adult; maybe you forgot you were in your forties," Laica exclaimed.

"Why aren't you listening to me? I've been talking to you properly before, and if you had just talked to me, I wouldn't have blocked you here," Uncle explained.

"What do you care if I don't talk to you? We won't know each other. Just leave the door. When I became of going to the office, I'll cut your head off," Laica raged.

"I won't let you through unless you speak to me politely."

"All right, fine."


"Thank you, Sweetheart," Uncle said as he hugged Laica.

The thought made me laugh. When I walked into the kitchen, Laica had already left.

"Hmmm, Uncle, it's only in the morning that the rest of us have a bad day," I observed.

"I was irritated because she didn't pay attention to me, so I woke up in the morning to cook all of your breakfast," he explains.

"You're in such a hurry, but you still know something," I pointed out.

"She's stunning even without make-up."

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"I'm going somewhere now, Uncle and the girls will come into the company; you can hang out in my office there so you're not alone here," I said.

He gave a nod.

"Are you not going to eat?" he asked.

"I'm still full, so I'll eat there," I explained.

I have now exited the mansion. I called Arthur first to make sure we only used his car.

"Hello, where have you gone?"

"Why? I'm in the office?" he asked.

"Are you not busy? Could you accompany me to Carol's house?"

"Of course, when?"

"I'm outside the mansion right now; I'll be waiting for you here, so we'll just use your car," I explained.

"That's fine."

I'm going to hang up the phone. I only had to wait half an hour for Arthur's car to come to a stop in front of me.
