Chapter 18 - Mrs. Katara

After finishing my meal, I felt a little better, so I applied some ointment to my wrists, which had turned red.

No one had come to bother me for a while, and I hadn't left the room even once, but I knew I would have to do it sooner or later.

There was a big clock on the wall, and it showed that it was six in the evening. Not that it surprised me—today must be the fourth day of our sabbatical year for Soren and me, and it's also the first day of my contract with Alex.

Now that I think about it, I had asked him for a written contract, but I still haven't heard anything about it. I needed to go see him myself, otherwise nothing would move forward, and I wanted to be free. Besides, I don't know anything about Alex—he could just change his mind in a snap.

So I finally gathered my courage and decided to leave the room. It's not like I hadn't already seen the hallways of this villa.

Angi: "I just hope I won't get in trouble."

I reached the door, but just as I was about to open it, a noise echoed:

Knock knock knock

Angi: "Uh!? Yes!! Who's there?"

I answered without even thinking.

"It's the boss who sent me. He wants to move you to the master bedroom."

Still behind the door:

Angi: "What, the master bedroom!? For what!? I refuse!!!"

"The boss said that if you refuse, then the contract will be terminated."

Angi: "!???!?!!"

Angi: Fucking hell, bastard.

Anyway, I had no choice—it was better to swallow my pride and accept Alex's orders.

Angi: "Fine, I get it! But what do I have to do!?"

"You don't have to do anything, just follow me to the room."

Angi: "Okay."

I let out a long sigh before opening the door and stepping out of the room. Then I saw a guard I had never seen before. He was the one who was going to escort me to the bedroom.

"Madam Katara, please follow me."

Angi: "Madam Katara!??? Who the hell is Madam Katara!!??"

My face turned red with embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."

These stupid guard are always saying nonsense about me.

Angi: "Get up, no need to apologize, but next time pay attention."

Guard: *Madam Katara is really fierce…*

Angi: "Come on, show the way instead of standing there like an idiot."

Guard: "Right away."

Madam Katara? Yeah right. There's no way I would ever call myself by that disgusting name.

Angi: "Besides, I'm a man!"

I shouted to the guard, who already looked nervous but didn't turn around to look at me.

Angi: "You should wear glasses, it might help you."

Guard: "Yes, yes, ma'am."

Angi: "Ma'am??? 💢 Now you're starting to piss me off!"

I got into a full argument with the guard in the hallways. He kept apologizing while I scolded him, completely losing my temper, when suddenly:

"Pfff! Madam doesn't look very happy."

Angi: Uh… that voice is…

Sohan.

What an unexpected encounter.
