I smiled.
“You’re right.
“So, don’t worry, I’m not some villain out to harvest organs.”
Emily laughed at my joke.
Marcela and Colton eventually returned to Gwen‘ s gathering after lingering outside for a while. If it were me, I would be too
ashamed to go back.
The reunion lasted until the evening, and I
saw everyone drive away.
Only Marcela and Colton walked off.
After everyone left, Gwen came over to my place.
I asked Emily to make her a cup of coffee.
Gwen apologized for the unpleasant
incident earlier.

It wasn’t her fault.
If anyone should apologize, it’s me.
Who could‘ ve predicted running into Marcela?
But considering that Marcela and Colton now knew where I lived, they would undoubtedly cause more trouble.
I gave Gwen a heads–up.
“My family will probably harass me. I’ll inform security and give them their photos to keep them out, but my sister–in–law might mention your name to get to me.”
Gwen paused for a moment before saying,
“Don’t worry, Ms. Weinberg. They aren’t on my list of approved visitors.”
“Thank you.”
That evening, Marcela and Colton must have informed my parents about my villa purchase.
Mom called me again, starting with,

“Alina, your brother said you bought a villa. When did you buy it without telling us? Where did you get the money?”
“What does it have to do with you?”
I hung up and blocked her number.
Right after, Colton texted me.
[Alina, you’re getting more disrespectful by the day. How dare you block Mom and Dad?]
I replied: [You, the respectful one, freeload at home and occupy the houses I bought. Return my houses, you deadbeat.]
Colton must have snapped. He tried to call me on video.
I blocked him as well.
After blocking all their numbers, I sent their photos to the property management group chat with a note: [Please do not let these four people in.]
The next morning, Emily and I flew to

Spring City.
With no annoying calls, we enjoyed a
peaceful two–week vacation.
Emily was busy filming a vlog and editing it in the evenings.
“Ms. Weinberg, do you mind appearing in the video?”
“I don’t mind.”
She giggled and got back to editing.
When I woke up from a deep sleep, her video had gone viral.
We both ended up trending on social media.
The comments were overwhelmingly positive:
[Dream Boss]
[I’m Quitting My Job to Be a Housekeeper Tool
[Hey, ask your boss if she needs a cook.

The netizens were having a blast.
Emily’s account gained a ton of followers overnight.
She looked a bit uneasy, “Ms. Weinberg, what should we do?”
I smiled. “What do you mean? This is a great opportunity. Embrace this sudden fame and start building your own platform.”
She pursed her lips and said, “Then I’ll split the income with you.”
Given my current financial situation, I hadn’t thought of splitting the earnings, but Emily and I got along well, and she was good at cooking. My only concern was her loyalty.
“You’re not thinking of quitting, are you?”

For some reason, my question made her laugh, and I joined in.
“How is that possible, unless you fire me.”
I laughed. “Then we should draft a separate contract. The income from your account is yours to keep, as long as you stay on as my housekeeper.”
Emily was adamant. “I won’t quit, but it’s unfair for you not to take a share. After all, you’re the star of the videos. We should split the earnings.”
