Chapter 16 Luminance Villa

  • Jean sat in her wheelchair. A bitter smile formed at the corner of her lips.
  • She had a luxurious life. Who would have thought she would end up this way?
  • Lost like an orphan with nowhere to go.
  • The sky darkened, and raindrops fell from the clouds, dripping on Jean.
  • As the rain became heavier, she pushed her wheelchair in a hurry to the nearest shelter.
  • "Miss, are you… do you need me to call for an ambulance?"
  • A man in a suit stood before her, looking at her curiously.
  • Jean paused. He looked familiar.
  • She looked behind the man.
  • Lavish ornaments hung around the door, giving off an extravagant aura. 
  • 'Luminance Villa' was written on the entrance.
  • I believe there wouldn't be another workplace more suitable for Ms. Eyer.
  • Gigi's words spun in her head. She made up her mind.
  • Because of Edgar, not a single company would hire her.
  • But she had tens of millions in debt to pay off. Where else could she go?
  • Gigi was right.
  • Jean clenched her fists with hatred shining in her eyes. She refused to admit defeat!
  • She was an Eyer.
  • She wouldn't stay down when she fell.
  • Making up her mind, she sat up straight in her wheelchair, giving off an intimidating air.
  • "Hello, I'm here to apply for the job."
  • In the office, the manager sat behind her desk. She peered at the formerly wealthy lady in front of her.
  • She had taken in all types of people, but a former rich girl would be a first.
  • She had a feeling that Jean would bring a lot to the table.
  • "Ms. Eyer, are you sure?"
  • Jean smiled. "I won't be here if I hadn't thought this through."
  • The manager pushed a document toward Jean with a wrinkly hand.
  • "If so, please sign this document."
  • Jean flipped through the pages, noticing that all the conditions were unfair.
  • "What do these conditions mean?"  
  • The manager looked at her with disdain.
  • She had seen countless girls with nowhere to go. But she hadn't seen one that didn't appreciate kindness.
  • "Ms. Eyer, if I'm not mistaken, you have a large amount of debt, right? A waitress doesn't earn much. Are you sure about this?"
  • Jean smiled coldly. "I've made myself very clear earlier."
  • The manager clenched her jaw. If it wasn't for her potential to attract those men…
  • "Alright then. Your base wage is a thousand. You'll have to work for the rest of it yourself."
  • Jean entered the staff dorm at the villa.
  • Just ten minutes later, news of the once noble Ms. Eyer becoming a lowly waitress spread through the staff.
  • "What a nuisance. The manager told her what she needed to, but her attitude was horrible. Does she think she's still a noble miss? She's been abandoned now!"
  • "That's right. What's with the high and mighty act when she's at the lowest she can be?"
  • Jean became a hot topic in the makeup room.
  • Yet she was unaware, resting quietly in her room.
