Money comes first [On Hold]

Chapter 1

"What the actual fuck"

Waking up in a bed that was not hers was not what she expected let alone having memories that weren't hers.

Kim Soo Jie, now known as Adia a maid working for the Count of the Henituse territory. She's known to be humble and kind...well that is on the outside, according to Adia's memories she was one of the people that spread the rumors of Cale Henituse being trash and a good for nothing

'This girl got some balls messing with Cale of all people...an assassin butler, torture expert, and a fifty rich father' (Deruth doesn't deserve that title 😤)

Thinking about this reminded Adia that today she needs to wake up young master Cale instead of Ron since He had errands to finish

'...come to think of it....was I that nameless maid that woke up Cale and was faced with a lot of curses...that maid was mentioned sometime around the chapter where Cale and Choi Han planned to save Raon...hmm she was also the one who spread that rumor while exaggerating it...hmm that's not good'

While walking I greeted a lot of my coworkers they seem to feel sympathetic towards me...it's definitely because I was tasked to wake up Cale

In front of Adia is young master Cale's chamber 'I guess I should wake him up' Adia started knocking while Calling for Cale in hopes of him waking up but to no avail

'It seems I need to go in there...' without any hesitation Adia went inside and started to wake up Cale

"Young master it's time to wake up"

"..."

"Young master it's already past breakfast please wake up..."

"....ugh......"

".....young master it seems that the Count has come to greet you-"

Cale woke up right after Adia said that and if she was surprised she clearly didn't show it in her face, Cale looked around, his eyes finally landed on Adia

"It seems you're finally awake young master, do you need anything for your hangover?"

"...waking me up early in the fucking morning do you have a death wish you bitch"

"My name is Adia and it's already 8:30a.m young master, would you like to eat breakfast?"

"Do you want to get fired? And I didn't ask for your name now get out"

"...do you not want to eat breakfast?"

"I said GET OUT"

Without any warning, Adia was kicked out by Cale with a series of colorful words that came out from his mouth

"...I shall get breakfast ready young master I'll be back"

While leaving, Adia heard Cale shouting an 'I don't care' and 'don't come back' for others around the area was shocked then again it wasn't surprising for them but what was surprising is that Adia was taking it like she had done this a hundred times now

"Hey, Adia are you ok? That trash shouted at you" said Emily a fellow maid of mine

'...the Count is dumb for not firing them isn't he the boss? He's supposed to discipline the workers instead of doing whatever the hell he's doing'

'Aigoo poor Cale...'

"Young master here's your breakfast"

"...I told you to get lost" Cale said with a scowl but there was a hint of concern in his voice, Why was he concerned? Probably because of my stubbornness...wait no that doesn't make sense though-

"... you are going to die from starvation if not going to eat young master"

"Tch. That's stupid and also what type of disrespect does one have to talk to me like this huh"

'This is a perfect opportunity...not really but I could try' Adia thought wanting to get a raise for the sole reason to have more money

"Then you should give me money to shut me up young master" She said with a stoic facade

"This little- hah...fine... I'll give you a raise"

'...is he using his allowance? Does he not want to talk to Deruth that much?'

"...as expected of the young master so generous and amazing you would not compare to even the-" Adia praised with an obvious fake smile

"OK OK STOP"

"..." as ordered she stopped and waited for her next order

"Give me alcohol" Cale ordered realizing he still needed to keep up his trash act

"But young master-" but before Adia can say anything Cale cut her off

"I'll add an extra zero to your paycheck" Cale cut it

"I have no objections" Adia instantly changed her mind not wanting to lose that opportunity

Overall they had a great start and little do they know, in the future someone is going to end up thinking of Adia as a mother figure and vice versa.
