Argista appeared confused as Slater led her to the luxurious mansion, which she described as a palace. There was no conversation during the journey.
"This is my mansion, after school you have to come home here to work as a domestic helper, just cooking and cleaning, do you understand?" Argista nodded hesitantly.
Slater started the car again, and Argista turned around in confusion. Why didn't Slater get out? Where were they going?
"Where is your school?" Argista immediately turned her head, confused and surprised.
Will Slater take her to school? After buying her to be a domestic helper? Wow, is he an angel? Why is he so kind?
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Slater asked when Argista remained silent.
Argista nervously answered, "Loso High School!" Slater immediately headed to the high school Argista mentioned.
A few minutes after they arrived, Argista looked at Slater, where their eyes met at this time.
"Sir, thank you very much," Slater just nodded flatly without expression.
Slater glanced at the school gate and said, "The guards will pick you up later." Argista was a little surprised, confused and awkward.
"How about I just take the bus home?" he offered, making Slater raise an eyebrow.
"There's no guarantee you won't run away? How can I trust you?" Argista swallowed hard.
He thought about what guarantee he should give to convince Slater.
"I assure you that won't happen, there is no home or place I can go to hide, my own parents have sold me, where can I go but to the master's house," Slater was silent, his heart suddenly touched by Argista's words.
Slater gestured with his chin for Argista to immediately enter his school before it was too late.
Argista said thank you before finally getting off and entering her school with a confused and awkward feeling.
Slater rubbed his chest while looking away, "what's wrong with my heart?" Slater grumbled in annoyance as his heart beat faster when he was close to Argista.
Slater immediately drove his car to the office.
Meanwhile, Argista entered the school with a slightly relieved feeling, relieved because she was given the opportunity to finish her schooling by Slater even though she had been bought to be the mansion's ART.

That afternoon, Argista arrived at the Slater mansion. Hesitantly, she walked through the spacious courtyard and asked the guard, "Excuse me, may I come in? I'm the new maid here, as instructed by Mr. Slater." The guard nodded and immediately led Argista inside.
"Mr. Slater ordered you to make dinner, sir, come home at 7pm," the guard said, making Argista nod politely.
The guard then said, "Your room is under the stairs near the kitchen, where you'll find maid clothes. Put your things there." Argista nodded again and thanked the guard.
With some hesitation, Argista headed straight to her room to change. She then hurried to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Working as a domestic helper was easy for Argista, as cooking and cleaning were her responsibilities at home.
Night had fallen, exactly at 7 pm Seveline came home earlier than Slater.
Seveline narrowed her gaze when she saw a young girl working skillfully in the kitchen, especially since the delicious aroma of the food made Seveline's stomach rumble and rebel, wanting to devour the food.
Seveline walked to the dining table, the dish that was still steaming was really appetizing.
As soon as Argista turned around, he was surprised to see Seveline standing at the dining table.
"Excuse me, ma'am, I'm a new maid here," said Argista politely.
Seveline nodded upon hearing that and asked, "Did Slater ask you?" Argista nodded politely.
Not long after that, Slater came, seeing his wife standing at the dining table made him immediately approach her.
The aroma of Argista's cooking really brought their mansion to life, this was the first time their mansion had the fragrant aroma of cooking, especially at night.
"You asked her to be a maid?" Slater just nodded and immediately pulled up a chair to get ready for dinner.
Seveline took a deep breath and immediately sat down to prepare dinner as well.
"That means you're the one paying the wages," Slater just nodded while Argista had already gone to the kitchen to clean up something else.
Slater took the first bite, and it was absolutely delicious and utterly delicious. Seeing him devour it so eagerly made Seveline curious about the taste, too.
Seveline admitted that this was really fitting and suited her taste.
"Can you afford it?" Slater was still trying to chew his way through the question that was making him feel humiliated right now.
Seveline chewed as she savored her food, while Slater ate greedily and quickly, as if in a hurry to finish dinner to get away from Seveline.
Seveline put down her spoon and fork, looked at Slater from the side and then asked, "You deliberately looked for a young maid not because she was beautiful, right? Instead of a middle-aged woman, you chose an innocent girl, why? Don't tell me it's to get satisfaction, right?" Slater immediately put down his spoon and fork and grabbed his drinking glass, wiping his lips with a tissue.
Slater immediately got up from his chair and walked away from the dining table, leaving Seveline alone with her annoyance.
Seveline clicked her tongue in annoyance as Slater ignored her.
"That insolent man, living and eating on me, he's so arrogant. If he wasn't that handsome, I wouldn't have accepted his proposal," she snapped angrily, getting up from the dining table and going back out to return to the filming location.
For Seveline, the mansion is merely a temporary rest area; her life and home are on the set. In this world, Seveline's most important priority is her work as an actress.
Seveline will leave everything except her entertainment world as an actress.
Meanwhile, Slater had just showered. He knew Seveline wouldn't be sleeping at home, as she was working on her new play. Besides, if she were home, they'd be sleeping in separate rooms. Their marriage was purely a business, one for profit and image.
Slater climbed onto the bed, at the same time there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Slater called out a little nervously.
The door opened, revealing Argista in the doorway with his head bowed.
"Excuse me, sir, I've finished everything. Do you need anything else?" Slater paused for a moment.
"Come in, please massage my feet," Argista immediately raised her head.
He stood stunned in the doorway with a look that was hard to interpret.
Slater raised an eyebrow, "Why? Didn't you hear me? Come in!" Argista hesitantly entered Slater's room.
"Close the door!" Argista turned and closed the door.
He walked nervously to the bed, Slater pulled back the blanket covering his legs.
"Get on top of me and massage my feet!" Argista swallowed, her heart pounding wildly as she heard the command.
