"What's going on with Sister Cuihua? I haven't been able to reach her all day. Does she not want to work anymore?" a burly man sitting on the sofa asked with a frown.
As an Awakened with a cleanliness obsession, he had hired four housekeepers to keep the family home clean.
Because Sister Cuihua was somewhat older and handled things steadily, he had assigned her yesterday to collect food from the supply warehouse first thing this morning. Yet the entire day had passed. She had neither brought back the food nor shown up.
