Chapter 25
Hearing Xavier calling her, Arya put the bowls she had just washed on the shelf. Then she dried her
hands and walked out of the kitchen.
Xavier took the document and walked towards the study. Arya followed him in silence.
Xavier sat at the desk and drafted a contract in a few minutes.
He also divided the shares into two.
He handed the drafted contract including the arrangement of the shares to her. "Take a look."
There were only four articles:
Article One, she can't have anything to do with other men during the duration of this contract.
Article Two, she must not divulge their agreement and relationship.
Article Three, as long as he needs her, she had to fulfill her duties as a mistress, and must not refuse
under any circumstances.
Article Four, she has to live where he provides.
As long as she signed it, she could get half of the shares now and the other half when the contract
expired.
After a short hesitation, she made a decision. "Deal."
Xavier took the contract that Arya had signed and put it in the drawer without looking at it. "You'll live
here from now on." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
As he spoke, he threw a key on the table. "Come back before nine in the evening."
She nodded and grabbed the key.
"I'm going to the company. Are you going out?"
"No." Arya followed Xavier out of the study.
It was not that she didn't want to go out, but that she didn't want to go out with Xavier.
Xavier knew what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything.
After Xavier left, Arya received a call from Jasper, saying he would take her to interview for a new job.
She didn't want Jasper to know about this place.
So she met him at a coffee shop.
This place was remote, so she had to go to a place where she could get a taxi.
She was lucky that she got into a taxi very soon.
Thirty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the coffee shop. She paid and got out of the car.
Jasper was in the coffee shop. When he saw her come in, he ordered her a cup of warm milk.
He didn't mention anything about yesterday.
He looked as if nothing had happened.
He treated her in the same way as usual.
Arya drank half a glass of milk, and Jasper told all the details about the new job he had arranged for
her.
Working as a saleswoman at a jewelry store.
Although it was not a big company, this job was at least better than that in the clubhouse, and the
guests were usually women.
Arya was not picky, and nor did she have any right to be picky.
After Arya agreed, Jasper took her to the workplace.
It was located in a shopping mall in a busy downtown area.
Jasper had already arranged everything. When they arrived, the owner of the jewelry store was also
there. The owner was a very young woman, named Juliet.
Seeing Jasper bringing Arya in, she sized Arya up first, then looked at Jasper and asked, "Is she Arya
you mentioned?"
Jasper nodded. "Please take care of her."
Juliet smiled. "Don't worry. I'll take care of her."
She called the sales team leader over. "Take her to familiarize herself with the store and teach her how
to be a jewelry salesperson."
Arya followed the team leader in, to study.
Jasper's eyes followed Arya.
Juliet patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Your girlfriend?"
Jasper nodded. "She hasn't done this before. Don't be too harsh on her."
"Well, you like her so much, huh? Why don't you support her life so that she doesn't have to work at
all?"
Jasper wanted to do that, but Arya didn't like it.
His face darkened.
Juliet also saw that Jasper was a little upset, so she stopped and changed the subject. "Don't you still
have to work? Hurry back. I got her."
Jasper was still worried that she would not be able to adapt to the environment here. Juliet pushed him.
"Come on."
Jasper glanced at Juliet and repeatedly told her to take good care of Arya before leaving.
As soon as Jasper left, Juliet walked towards Arya.
She asked faintly, "Can you get used to it?"
"I'll get used to it soon." Arya felt that as long as she put the effort into this, she would definitely do well.
Juliet gave the team leader a look, meaning she could go back to her work.
The smile on Juliet's face slowly faded. "Are you Jasper's girlfriend?"
"No."
Juliet was surprised. Jasper said she was his girlfriend, but she said no. 'This is interesting.'
She raised her eyebrows gently. 'Is it Jasper's wishful thinking?'
'She doesn't like Jasper at all?'
Thinking of this, Juliet looked better and patted Arya on the shoulder. "Don't worry. You are good here."
Juliet and Jasper were classmates. She liked Jasper when she was in school, but Jasper didn't like her.
Then her mother got diabetes so she had no choice but to sell herself out.
She was neither too lucky nor too unlucky.
Her virginity was lost to a man 30 years older than her. That man really liked her.
From then on, he became her sugar daddy.
And she belonged to him only.
Two years ago, that man died in her bed. He was old. In order to show his sexual ability in front of the
woman he liked, he took too many drugs and was OD.
Everyone in the circle knew that she had a bad reputation.
This jewelry store was given by that man when he was alive.
Arya spent the morning learning.
She adapted quickly to this place.
In the afternoon, she was officially on duty. Juliet asked the team leader to be her supervisor.
Arya thought she was too unlucky these days.
Arya didn't want to have anything to do with the Harrison Family for the time being, but she actually
bumped into Harriet.
Daisy and Harriet came to the store and were served by the team leader. In order to let Arya learn how
to sell jewelry, the leader called her over.
So Arya and Harriet met.
Harriet was surprised and then she pretended not to know her.
She didn't want Daisy to know that there was such a person in the Harrison Family.
Arya thought she might lose control if she saw anyone from the Harrison Family again, but she didn't.
She was surprisingly calm.
She was good at her job as a salesperson. She introduced to them the jewelry they chose and the
potential appreciation.
Harriet deliberately made things difficult for Arya. She walked to the counter and pointed to a row of
rings inside, "Take them out and I'll try."
Arya took out a row of rings, and put them on the table, "Which one do you like?"
"I'll try on every one of them." Harriet reached out her delicate fingers and put them in front of Arya.
The team leader had a lot of experience, so when she saw that something was wrong, she came up to
help Arya. "She is new here, so she doesn't know many things. Which one do you like? I'll help you try
it on."
Daisy was here, so Harriet didn't dare to be too mean. She smiled and said, "I like this newcomer to
serve me."
Arya gave the team leader a reassuring look, indicating that she was fine and that she could handle it.
She ignored Harriet's little game and patiently helped her try all the rings on.
After trying, Harriet looked at Arya with a smile. "I don't like any of them."
Only the two of them understood the provocation in that smile.
Arya didn't take it seriously and put all the rings in the glass cabinet.
Looking at Arya's calm face, Harriet was so enraged. She felt as if her fist had hit the cotton, not hurting
Arya at all.
She said with a cold face, "Your service is too bad. Don't you know that you need to get a glass of
water for the guests? We've been here for so long."
Arya knew that she was saying this on purpose, and with a professional smile on her face, she asked,
"What do you prefer to drink?"
"Whatever."
Arya poured her a glass of water.
When she handed it over, Harriet didn't take it. "I want coffee."
The team leader couldn't stand it any longer. Harriet just said whatever, but now she asked for coffee. It
was obvious that she was making things difficult for Arya.
The team leader wanted to say something, but Arya stopped her. She smiled and said, "I'll get her
coffee. It's not a big deal."
Arya brought the freshly brewed coffee to Harriet. This time, Harriet did not find fault with Arya and
reached out to take it. But Harriet's hand suddenly loosened and the cup of hot coffee was spilled on
Arya's hands...
