"All right, auntie, I'll take care of Marie's things," Astreille politely promised the old man.

"Oh, go ahead, ija. Thank you very much, ha. I'll just take care of our room," said the old man.

"Auntie, why did I see you just put the things in one room earlier?" Astreille asked as she arranged the suitcases.

"It's embarrassing because we even move the room downstairs. Then it's okay, ija, it fits in one room because it's big." Astreille pouted her lips.

"Auntie, e. There are five rooms here in the house because daddy was praying then. All right, auntie. Even Marie is in the room next to mine," the girl explained.

The old man cried and hugged the girl because he was so happy with her. "You're really very kind, ija. Thank you very much, ha."

"It's nothing, aunt. All right, I'll take care of fixing Marie's things."

Astreille backs the auntie down because she is old as well. When he saw that this was in order, he went up to his room where Marie was.

She smiled sweetly at her sleeping cousin. Tired from the trip so it would be better for him to rest in his room first.

She decided to fix her cousin's things while he was still asleep in her room. She went into the other room to take care of the child's belongings. She's glad that her father bought things for every room in their mansion, at least the household items are not included in the problem.

While busy cleaning he couldn't help but think. Fear and nervousness returned to his chest because of what happened last night.

After saying that, it suddenly disappeared into the darkness. Not even a footstep was heard when it left.

I'm charging now.

She shut her eyes close to forget about what happened last night. He wasn't put to sleep last night, now he will be put to sleep.

When she was done cleaning and fixing all her cousin's stuff. He went down to the living room to say hello to his auntie.

She knocked three times before opening the door. He saw that the old man had also finished cleaning and was taking care of his wife.

She smiled sweetly before entering the room. "Auntie? Are you all right here?"

The old man turned to him before nodding. "Of course, ija. This house is really big, look at your uncle. Even though he's paralyzed, his eyes are happy because we're together now."

Astreille giggled with that. "Auntie, I bought a wheelchair for my uncle. If you have time, you can take her around in the back. There's a big garden there and a pool, Marie too, she can be there too. Just remember It's your house too. "

Her auntie flashed a sweet smile.

"You're a very kind child, Astreille. Don't you have a boyfriend yet? If you do, I'd like to meet him. A man can't just cheat on you, you're lucky and then he'll fuck you. It's me!" angry growl of the old man who laughed at the girl.

"Auntie, e. You know that having a boyfriend never crossed my mind," Astreille replied here.

"Alas, I still want to see who will make you happy. When I saw you at the Hospital, I knew you were sad because you were alone," the old man said worriedly as he stroked his hair.

He smiled at it. "Marie and you are already here, make sure I don't be sad anymore."

They laughed together because of that. The girl was about to speak again when they heard a loud horn outside.

"I'll just see who it is, aunt."

She immediately walked towards the main door before opening it. He went out to open the gate and see who owned the car in front of him.

She adjusted the hem of the white dress she was wearing before looking at the black and expensive car that was now in front of her house.

His eyes widened when he saw the owner of their agency come down from there. It took off the wearing shades before she smiled.

"Hey, Astreille."

He immediately bowed his head. "B-Boss, good afternoon. B-Why are you here?"

The girl turned her gaze to the paper the man had presented to her. He politely took it before opening it.

"Sir, what is this?" she asked while frowning in astonishment.

"You're fired."

Her eyes widened with that. He looked up at the man with a streak of astonishment on his face.

"Yes?"

"I don't want to see you again in the agency. I'm firing you from now on," it continued.

She gulped. "B-But boss, I still owe you, right? It's still a billion. Also, b-why was I fired?"

She took a step backward when she remembered what happened last night. Was that why he was fired? Did they know how dangerous he was?

"Because I'll offer you a new job. As a hacker, of course. And this time, your salary is 2 million per month."

He looked up at the man as he forced himself to process what he said. Will it offer him a new job? And his salary is two million a month?

"P-I'm sorry, sir. But I'm really confused. Why? S-Where will I work? Isn't that illegal?" he asked nervously.

"It's better if we talk in our headquarters, Astreille. Come on, I'll give you a ride. My boss wants to see you." There was a mischievous smile on its lips that he could not understand.

She nodded her head silently. "I'll just say goodbye to my aunt."

She hurriedly ran into the house to meet her auntie. He immediately smiled when he saw her.

"Auntie? Is it okay if I leave for a while? I just need to go somewhere. Do you have nothing to take care of?" he asked worriedly.

"Ah, jusko, of course, ija. Everything's done. Besides, I'll just cook soup for a snack. Be careful, son?" He kissed her cheek so she returned it with a hug and a sweet smile.

She took her sling back before waving goodbye at her auntie.

He went straight outside where his boss was. She needs to know what kind of job he's offering, and she also needs to know who its boss is and what its purpose is to her.
