Chapter 51 - 51. Handsome Man
Chapter 51 - 51. Handsome Man
Back home, as usual, Anna immediately looked for the whereabouts of her son 'Dave'. This time she came home earlier than yesterday.
But when she was just about to climb the stairs, her brow furrowed as she saw a lot of shopping bags piled up on the table in the living room.
"Naila..."
Seeing the girl walking towards her, Anna again said, "What is this?" she asked.
"Ah, someone brought all this, he said for you," answered Naila immediately.
"Huh?" Anna immediately checked the contents of the shopping bags one by one, she remembered that she had already taken all the clothes that Devan had bought for her at the shop. Then who else is all this from? It turned out that it contained not only clothes but bags and also some shoes that looked very luxurious and expensive.
Suddenly the phone ringing startled the woman. And it came from the little box that was still in her bag. Yes, since Anna arrived at the office until now, she still hasn't taken that flat-shaped thing out of there.
Seeing the name on the screen, the woman rolled her eyes. Who else is calling her now if not Devan? He was the only one who knew her contact number. Also, how could that man call himself 'Handsome Man?'
Anna only glanced at it, and then placed the phone on the table without intending to answer it.
"Naila, can you help me carry this to my room?" said Anna grabbing some of the shopping bags.
"Yes, I can."
Her cell phone rang again, this time not an incoming call but just a few text messages.
Anna decided to open it.
"Don't refuse let alone throw it away. You have to use all of that when you work," Anna muttered reading the contents of the message.
"And tomorrow, don't come late."
Anna just read it, then put her cellphone back into her pants pocket without intending to reply at all. Forced to accept all these things for work reasons, Anna had no reason to refuse and could only accept it.
After bringing all the groceries into the room, Anna just left them alone in the corner of the room. Her body was tired and she wanted to rest. However, she took the time to accompany Dave to play first until her only son slept.
"Good night, honey," Anna muttered, kissing Dave's forehead, then lay down next to him.

The next day, as usual, Anna finished all the housework before leaving for work. She was no longer wearing a black and white suit like the previous days. In a blue knee-length dress combined with a matching blazer, the woman is more like an office worker than a cleaning worker.
She was a bit hesitant to wear clothes like this, it's just that because of the request of Devan, who incidentally as her boss, like it or not, Anna had to obey him.
Using the bus, the woman headed to the address Devan had sent her.
A few minutes passed, the bus she was riding in stopped, Anna immediately got off there because this was the closest stop to the address listed on her cellphone.
Looking around, Anna's brow furrowed faintly, but only a few seconds, and then she started walking towards the address.
It took about ten minutes, the woman stopped right in front of a white house. The very high fence made it difficult for Anna to see what the buildings inside looked like.
"Excuse me, may I ask a question?" Anna asked approaching a middle-aged man wearing a security uniform.
"What is it?"
"Does this address match?" She asked as she showed the address Devan had sent to her. A spark of doubt had been lodged in her since earlier because the address listed there were only luxurious houses standing on the left and right sides of the road as if she was currently in the middle of an elite complex. She was not found office buildings and the like.
"That's right, Miss. You're at the right address."
"Eh? Really?" Anna asked to make sure her hearing, her brow furrowed clearly. All sorts of unfounded thoughts and conjectures crammed into her mind.
"Do you recognize Mr. Devan?" asked Anna again.
"Mr. Devan? Of course Miss. He is the owner of this house."
"Huh?" What exactly did the man want?
Ting…
Anna's cell phone rang once, a message came in.
"Remember, don't be late. Otherwise, your salary will be deducted," again the 'Handsome Man' messaged her.
After reading the contents of the message, Anna sighs a breath.
"May I come in, sir?" asked Anna back to the security.
"Have you made an appointment with Mr. Devan?" Just as the security finished his sentence, his cell phone rang.
"Ah, wait a minute, Miss," he said again, quickly moving away from Anna, answering the call.
Only about a minute later, the security came back to Anna, "Please come in, Miss," said the middle-aged man while pressing the remote button in his hand and after that the golden gate that was previously closed now slowly opened.
"Okay, thank you," said Anna bowing for a moment and then walking into the yard that looked very spacious and so beautiful.
"Miss, please go up," someone's voice suddenly sounded making Anna startled along with a mini car without a roof and the door stopped nearby. If someone looks closely, maybe more like a Buggy car. It's just that in some parts it looks a little different.
"Ah, I'm sorry," said the man then smiled.
"Introducing, I'm Deden, the gardener in this house, Miss," he added.
"Ah, Y-yeah..."
"Let's go, Miss, I will escort you to the main door."
"O-okay, thank you," Anna responded then entered the buggy car.
It turns out that the distance from the gate to the main door is indeed quite far if only taken on foot.
There was no conversation until Deden stopped the mini-vehicle right in front of the white house.
"Thank you, Mr. Deden," said Anna.
"Just call me Deden, Miss, I'm just a gardener here."
"It's okay, then I'll go in first," replied Anna.
Anna's phone rang again, a message came in from 'Handsome Man.'
Only on the home screen, Anna could see the contents of the message.
With slow steps, the woman quickly entered the house without knocking or ringing the bell. Unlocked, as the message says.
"You are late."
Just as Anna opened the door, a deep baritone voice greeted her. It was Devan's voice.
Standing in a daze, Anna didn't know what to do.
"Come in, no boss picks up his employees."
"Where is this?"
"My house."
"I know, I mean, why send me this home address? This has absolutely nothing to do with my job," Anna asked with a frown.
"Who said? This is your new workplace."
"What?"
"I as one of the head office cleaning supervisors sometimes also do some work in the house. For the convenience of completing my work, someone should clean this place every day, you understand?"
Hearing Devan's words, the corners of Anna's lips twitched.
