"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.
"Compared to all that, you look like you're abusing your position," said Anna.
Devan chuckled, "So what? No one will be angry."
"Aren't you afraid if Mrs. Lidya reports this to the Leader? You might be fired?"
Devan chuckled again, "The leader won't have time to take care of small things like this. Don't worry about me," Devan replied.
"I'm not worried about you. I only care about my job. I don't want it to be..."
"That's my affairs, don't think about anything. Now, get to work," Devan interrupted immediately.
"In clothes like this?" Anna pointed to herself.
"Erm."
"What?"
"That's the rule in this house."
Anna paused, "Why not just hire a maid? Maybe it's better than me."
"No. That's not the right choice. You work here but the pays you is still the company. Instead of wasting money, isn't it better to take advantage of what is already there? Besides, I don't have that kind of money to hire a maid."
Anna chuckled, "You don't have money but you always squander money as if it means nothing at all."
Hearing Anna's words, Devan chuckled.
"Even a hundred million you can give away for free," Anna added again, right after saying that, she froze on the spot. Cursing herself for accidentally saying something she shouldn't.
Devan who heard that, froze on the spot, didn't respond.
Silence, an awkward atmosphere suddenly created, increasing the distance between the two.
"I'm hungry," Devan said after a few minutes of silence.
"Make breakfast for me," Devan added again.
"W-what?"
"Okay. Wait a moment," said Anna immediately, away from there. Without reason, her heart suddenly raced.
Walking into the kitchen at a brisk pace, the woman checked what ingredients were there.
To be honest, she wants to protest about this one request from Devan. Cooking is not stated in the employment contract. All she was supposed to do was clean this whole house, nothing else.
However, the awkward atmosphere she accidentally created was not the right time to protest and refuse. Just for today, Anna would do a job she shouldn't be doing, another day, she'd make sure to protest against him.
Checking kitchen cabinets, then the refrigerator, it's empty. Anna did not find a single food ingredient that she could cook. She was wondering, did Devan never cook at all?
"The kitchen is empty. There are no ingredients at all. So I can't cook anything," said Anna approaching Devan.
"You just order some food if you're hungry, I want to clean up first," she added, resigning herself.
"There is a supermarket store near this complex, I will ask Hendra to take you there," Devan replied without taking his eyes off the tab in his hand.
Anna wanted to protest, but Devan spoke again.
"If your mind, that's fine, just continue your work," said Devan again.
"Okay. I'll go," replied Anna who was cursing herself again, because what she said was very different from what she wanted.
"Good, use this card and buy all the groceries you need," Devan said as he handed her a black card. Yes, it's a Black Card, a card that only a handful of people have.
"Okay," Anna replied, her Showing expression casual, and it made it clear that the woman had absolutely no idea what kind of card she was given. If it was someone else, it might have been overjoyed or showing similar feelings.

Entering a mini market that is not too wide, Anna only spent a few minutes and all the things she needed had already filled the trolley being pushed by Hendra, Devan's driver. The man was ordered by Devan to accompany Anna shopping and help with everything the woman did until they returned later.
Although Anna initially refused, in the end, the woman was forced to comply.
"Do you still need anything, Miss?" asked Hendra who was following Anna from behind.
"That's enough, let's go to the cashier now," replied the woman to which Hendra nodded, "Okay, Miss."
When making payments, she didn't know what caused her to be the center of attention again, even the cashier who previously served her looked indifferent now turned very friendly.
Of course, Anna felt uncomfortable, at this time she was only with Hendra who seemed normal, as well as herself. Then why are they looking at her like that? As if she had something extraordinary.
"Could you hurry a little bit?" said Anna to the cashier.
"Okay, Miss. Wait a moment," replied the cashier while smiling a very friendly smile at her, not only the cashier but several customers who were queuing next to her did the same.
Anna felt uncomfortable. She wished he could leave the place quickly.
Until a few minutes passed, Anna finally managed to finish her affairs at the cashier desk. Seeing Hendra having a little trouble carrying several paper bags containing food ingredients, Anna stopped her steps.
"Let me help you, Sir."
"No need, Miss. Leave me alone," replied Hendra.
"It's all right, sir. I can help you."
"Just call me Hendra, Miss."
Hearing that, Anna didn't respond anymore, "Okay, give some to me, so Mr. Hendra doesn't bother," replied Anna, ignoring the middle-aged man's words.
Just as Anna finished her sentence, a woman complete with a uniform that clung to her body immediately approached the two.
"Excuse me, sir, miss, maybe you can use this trolley," the woman offered with a very friendly smile.
"Thank you," Anna replied, returning the woman's smile.
"Ah introduce myself, I'm Meri. The manager of this shop," she said introducing himself.
"Ah, yes. I'm Anna, thank you," Anna replied no less kindly.
"Let me take you out."
"Don't bother, Miss," Anna refused.
"It does not matter. It's a rare thing for our shop to have someone like you," replied the store manager.
Anna's brows furrowed in confusion, 'A person like you? What does it mean?' She was just a janitor. Why did the woman speak as if she was a very important person and should be respected?
Anna was really confused, no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't find the cause of the strangeness of the people in this place.
"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Meri," Hendra said as he put all of Miss Anna's groceries into the car.
Unlike Anna, Hendra knew very well the reason why these people treated Anna differently. And it was all because of the card that Anna had used a while ago, Mr.. Devan's card.
