122 Getting closer
The seeds were already planted…
All they needed was time to sprout.
After saying goodbye to Beatrix I was already on the way back home.
“Oye?”
-Claire who was curious as a cat about what I did in the village spoke.
“Oy-Oyyye?”
-She once again tried to catch my attention.
“Just focus on the driving, a good maid should never question or ask about what her master did and should only focus on the tasks given to her.”
-I was in no mood to explain anything to Claire.
“Didn’t you say last time I was your secretary?”
-Claire spoke in a grumpy tone.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom
-I told it as it was a matter of fact.
“Oh yeah, I remembered you did that thing?”
“What thing?”
-Claire replied, question marks already all over her face.
“That thing regarding Shouta….regarding that prostitute he slept with”, a sly smile was already appearing on my face.
“Oh, so that’s what you were saying.”
“Of Course, it’s done, that prostitute agreed to us.”
“Hehe, it’s going to be so fun…your plan is really amazing.”
“That prostitute is already undergoing plastic surgery with the money we gave her at one of our family’s sponsored hospitals.”
“But the thing is that she herself is unaware of the disease she is suffering from. That makes me wonder how you realized it?”
Naturally, with my extraordinary eyes, I can see various details but I won’t share this secret that easily.
“It’s because I am awesome”, I replied proudly.
‘Hehe, Shouta…a very big surprise is on your way’, just thinking that what will soon happen made me excited.
“Hmmmph, a narcissist.”
-Claire was clearly dissatisfied with my answer.
‘This boy hides so many secrets, one day I, Claire will dig-up all your secrets and unravel that mystery shrouded all over you’, Claire cheered herself inwardly.
“Okay, we have reached our destination.”
Hearing Claire, I nodded and got out of the car.
“Okay, see you next time.”
-I said goodbye to Claire as I started walking to my place.
Without making much noise I opened the door.
And just as I entered, I was flabbergasted…
To my greatest surprise, the mother-daughter pair of Radhika and Michelle was sitting on the sofa watching television.
The moment they heard the sound of the door being opened they eagerly looked towards me, it was at this point I realized the entire table was full of various dishes.
“Oof, I told you guys before too don’t wait for me before eating dinner…..”
“It’s only 9 pm now but say if it was midnight, did you guys plan to stay hungry till then?”
Seeing me scolding them neither of them felt aggrieved instead it further aroused their traditional values.
“Come sit, it’s not a good thing to talk. The food will get cold”, Michelle spoke while getting up slowly to set chairs.
By now, Michelle had already undergone treatment at least 5 times. With my out-of-the-world skills, her current face was much rosy and full of that mature charm~
“Yeah let me bring some luke water and side dishes too that we prepared”, Radhika too got up from her seat and went to the kitchen.
Even though I wanted to say that there was no need, I kept my mouth shut.
There was an explicit warm feeling in my heart.
‘Is this what it feels like to be taken care of?’
‘Sure enough, the elders used to boast how good the traditional women were. The feeling that someone is waiting for you at home to return early, and is hungry but won’t eat unless you are at the dining table. All of this I agree… definitely satiates a male’s natural possessiveness.’
As I was lost in my thoughts, Michelle interrupted me.
By this time Radhika too had taken her seat at the dining table and started serving me various dishes.
“You know Elandor, even though you were absent for a couple of days…It felt like an eternity for us. We were so used to seeing you daily and interacting with you the past few days that when you suddenly said you won’t be back for 2 days, we…..felt sad”, spoke Michelle with a sigh.
“With my son Shouta, we never shared such a bond, that poor girl Radhika sitting beside you kept looking at her phone all day just to see your message that when you will come back”, Michelle said mischievously.
“Mo—Mooom….W-when did I look at the phone?”
-Radhika spoke in a somewhat embarrassed tone.
“Oh, don’t hide it”, Michelle fought back.
Seeing their happy feelings I knew it was natural.
Since being cheated and despised by Shouta, their only family member, and under financial burden this mother-daughter pair which was just on the verge of dire poverty found a new hope when they met me.
Their life which had basically no reason to thrive…found its purpose which was to live and take care of the house for me.
It was safe to assume that if I suddenly tell them I don’t need them or that I am leaving, both of them will panic and may even fall into some depression.
That was how much they had become dependent on me.
“Eladnor, what about that online website you told me about?”
-Radhika asked while the food was still in her mouth.
“Hey, don’t talk while eating!”
-Michelle reprimanded her but Radhika just put out her tongue in reply.
“It’s okay.”
“My secretary Claire should have already prepared the online website that I was talking about.”
It was nothing but an advertising website I had come up with for Radhika to pass her free time. After all, she was young, she already had a basic high school degree…. even though she said she did not want to go to some college or university, How can I allow it?
I knew that one must have something to do or some stuff to keep themselves busy otherwise they will become a waste person sooner or later, your literal ideal- freeloader. Michelle will take her duty as a maid while she will operate the online trading website I create for her.
So what if she loses some money? Money was never a worry in the first place.
“Great!”
-Radhika exclaimed with happiness.
“Don’t worry Elandor, I have some past experience in doing trading online. With my help she will help you earn a lot”, Michelle spoke tenderly.
“You two….”
“It’s just an advertising website, don’t need to feel so much pressure.”
“I trust you Radhika.”
-seeing the genuine smile on my face, both of them felt warm inside.
Who won’t be happy when someone is encouraging and supporting you unconditionally?
As I saw both of them laughing merrily I once again awaited tomorrow….
When I shall deliver a fatal blow to Shouta.
‘It’s time to plunder the last remaining luck Shouta has.’
