Darryl seemed to have an affair with everyone.
“Sister, is Darryl here?” Monica asked excitedly.
Monica was exhausted. She had not had any food or water the entire day, and the Lyndon family had scolded her.
“Hmm…” Yumi smiled sarcastically. “He does not live here. From what I know, he is not at Donghai City.”
Yumi was lying as she had no idea where the useless Darryl was.
‘Darryl is not at Donghai City? What shall I do?’ Monica was worried.
Monica was not sure what else to do. “Sister, I have just arrived in Donghai City, and all my money got stolen. I have nowhere to go.” Monica had hoped that Yumi would let her stay as she had no money with her.
Yumi understood what Monica meant. She pretended to give it a thought before she said, “I am his sister-in-law, I should make some arrangements for you. However, the Darby residence is fully occupied. Besides, our family business is not doing well, so I could not give you any money too.”
Monica was disappointed. She bit her lips and said, ” I am not demanding anything. I just needed a place to stay and some food to eat while I waited for Darryl to return.”
She had no other options.
Yumi smiled as she pretended to care. “Don’t worry, you are Darryl’s friend, so that makes us family. I will not let you go homeless.”
Yumi continued to say, “Why don’t I get a job for you? You can stay there and earn some money. I will let you know if I have any news from Darryl. What do you think?”
“That’s great,” Monica replied without any hesitation as she nodded. “Thankyou so much.”
The Cult Mistress sighed in relief. Finally, she had a place to stay. She still believed that Darryl’s sister-in-law would never harm her.
“Great. Let me arrange something for you.” Yumi stood up and reached for the phone.
Yumi’s friend had opened a karaoke bar.
Yumi planned to recommend Monica to work there —Darryl’s mistress with a job at such a place; he would be furious.
Yumi could not stop laughing when she thought of that. She spoke softly into the phone, “Hi, I heard that you needed some help at your bar. I can recommend a beautiful lady.”
The Cult Mistress sat there; she did not know what she would face soon.
Yumi ended the call and walked back to the hall with a smile. She gave the bar’s address to Monica and told her the job had been arranged. • ■ • Half an hour later.
Monica arrived at the address that Yumi had given her; it was a newly opened karaoke bar.
Monica felt something not right when she arrived, but she kept her silence.
Darryl’s sister-in-law had recommended her, perhaps the people there would take care of her.
The bar manager, a lady with really thick makeup, was Janette. Most people address her as Sister Janette.
Janette looked at Monica and nodded satisfactorily. “Not bad, such a beauty.”
Janette’s stare made Monica feel uncomfortable. She was not sure why she looked at her in such a manner.
“Sister Janette, thank you for taking care of me,” Monica said lightly.
Janette smiled, “Don’t worry; I will surely take care of you.”
Yumi had mentioned in the call not to make any special arrangement or take extra care of Monica— no special treatment.
