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.
Black Card holders in this Country might only be counted on the fingers, and that's why they behaved like this.
Thought that he and Anna were people who should not be ignored, or perhaps afraid that he and the woman he was with would protest or complain about the service at that store.
In this country, such habits are ingrained, where the 'MONEY' will always be respected. As if money is everything.
***
It was noon, Anna had finished all her work. The entire contents of the house did not escape her reach.
The reason she was able to finish everything quickly was that the house looked clean before he even started her work. It was as if someone had cleaned it before she came.
Devan's house is not very spacious, but quite luxurious and elegant at the same time. Although there is not much furniture in it but for the size of a cleaning supervisor who lives alone, it is more than enough.
Her memory is still clear, Devan's house today is a different house from five years ago.
Currently, Anna is cooking lunch according to Devan's request, even though today is a workday, but the man never once moved from where he was, no one knows what he was doing.
Maybe Devan has other activities or other affairs out there besides working as a cleaning supervisor at D.A Group's headquarters. Because it doesn't make sense if the man can live this luxurious life just by relying on the salary of that big company.
'Ah, what was I thought?' Anna shook her head to throw those thoughts away. Her life alone is so sad why does she think about other people's lives?
She turned her attention back to the food she was cooking. Suddenly her cell phone which she had placed on the table rang.
"Hello, Naila," Anna answered the call from her babysitter. Yes, last night she and the girl had exchanged contacts so that Naila could contact her if anything happened to Dave or the girl needed something.
"Hello, Anna..." Naila replied in a very small voice.
"What is it? Why are you suddenly calling me?" Anna asked as she turned off the flame on the stove.
"Did something happen to Dave?" she added again.
At the same time, Devan turned to where Anna was, he had thought that the girl had just called his name, it turned out that Anna was talking to someone.
"I-I'm sorry, Anna. Da-Dave has a fever and he's very hot right now," Naila stuttered, her voice shaking slightly.
"What?" Anna panicked who unconsciously raised her voice.
"Why are you just calling me now?"
"Th-that, I've been wanting to call you, I'm just afraid that I'll interfere with your work, Anna," replied Naila feeling very guilty.
"All right, all right. So where is Dave now?"
"He's with me, in the room."
"Have you called the doctor?" asked Anna again. When the babysitter first came to work, Nicho had already provided the girl with all the emergency contacts. Just in case something happened when Anna wasn't home, and what Nicho feared before is now actually happening.
"A-already, Dr. Rian has come here," Naila replied.
"Okay. I'll be home as soon as possible, don't go anywhere, after my work is done I'll be right back," said Anna.
"O-okay."
And after that Anna ended the call.
"Who is sick?" Devan's voice suddenly sounded right behind Anna, making the woman startled because her focus was suddenly split.
Turning to the source of the voice, Anna saw Devan who was taking a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and gulping it down.
"After finishing this, m-may I go home early?" asked Anna, stammering a little right after the man had finished drinking.
One of Devan's eyebrows raised, "No. According to the contents of the contract, it's not time for you to go home yet," replied Devan.
"B-but, I've cleaned the entire contents of this house. Help me, just today," said Anna a little pitifully.
"No."
"Please, instead you can cut my salary as long as I can go home early," said Anna again.
Devan's brow furrowed faintly at Anna's words. The woman he knows is a workaholic, now even willing to cut her salary just so she can go home early. Looks like something very important happened.
"What's going on? What happened? And who's sick?" asked Devan over again, that man leaning against the wall, with one of his feet propped against the wall.
Instantly Anna froze on the spot, not knowing how to answer.
"Hmm, it's okay if you don't want to say it," said Devan again then walked away from the kitchen where Anna was.
"D-does that mean I can go home early?" asked Anna hopefully anxiously.
"After preparing lunch for me and cleaning the kitchen, you can go home," Devan replied without stopping his steps. The man then climbed the stairs to his room on the second floor.
"All right, thanks," Anna shouted. She was willing to sacrifice her salary for times like this, she couldn't let Dave be alone in pain, even though there was Naila, but it still couldn't calm her down. She was very worried. Even though she desperately needed money, her son was still the main one.

Finished preparing lunch and cleaning up the kitchen, Anna intends to meet Devan to say goodbye. However, the man didn't come out of his room even after he waited a few minutes.
"I'd better tell him by message," Anna muttered as she stepped into the half-open main door.
"Miss, please come with me," Hendra suddenly approached her right after she left the door as if the man had been waiting for her since earlier.
"Huh?"
"Mr. Devan asked me to take you to go home," said Hendra again explaining when he saw a faint frown on the girl's forehead.
"What?"
"Come with me to the car," said Hendra again, leading the way, completely ignoring Anna's words.
" B-but..." Anna's words stopped when the middle-aged man spoke again.
"It's a bit far from here to the gate, there's no way you're going to walk, right? Not to mention you have to walk out of the compound to get a taxi or bus."
Anna thought about all of Hendra's words, what the middle-aged man said was true.
"Okay. Thank you in advance," Anna finally complied and followed Hendra to a garage that looked very spacious.
"I'm just carrying out Mr. Devan's orders, Miss.. So just say thanks to him," said Hendra but the woman only nodded.
