Eva was struggling, so she did not say reject Conradâs offer out of politeness. She just handed her luggage to him.
âSorry for the trouble, Mr. Clark.â
Conrad wore a charming smile. âItâs not a problem at all.â
Half an hour later, they reached their destination. By then, Joe and Eva were covered in sweat, and they looked quite pathetic. Meanwhile, Silviaâs breathing remained stable, and she did not look like someone who had just walked up a mountain.
Once Conrad put Evaâs luggage down, he looked at Silvia and said, âMiss Pond, this will be your accommodation for the next few days. I hope you donât mind how simple and makeshift it is.â
Silvia nodded. âThank you, Mr. Clark. By the way, how will we be getting our meals?â
âYouâll be eating at my house. Please rest for the day. Iâll bring lunch to you later. Then tomorrow, Iâll bring you to the villageâs textile factory.â
âAlright. Thank you, Mr. Clark.â
âNo problem. If you run into any problems, please call me. Goodbye.â
âOkay.â
After Conrad left, Silvia explored the house before her. It was an old house with earthen walls. Considering what she had seen on her way there, she knew that this was the villageâs best house.
Ever since Eva learned that they had to stay there for the week, disdain filled her eyes.
She had never seen such a shabby house before. How could anyone survive there?
âHow are we supposed to stay here, Miss Pond?â
Silvia looked at her and spoke coolly, âIâve checked it out. It has three rooms, so we can each have a room.â
Eva frowned in displeasure. âThatâs not what I meant. I canât stay in a house like this!â
âWhat would you prefer, then?â
âIâd like to look for a hotel. I want a place with a bathroom at least!â
If she had known that she was going to live in such horrible conditions, she would have pretended to be sick to skip this business trip.
âMiss White, you seem to be confused about something. Weâre here on a business trip, not a vacation!â
Eva bit her lip and said angrily, âIn any case, Iâm not staying here, not even for a day. If you insist on it, Iâm quitting.â
âDo whatever you want.â
Then, Silvia dragged her luggage into the room.
Eva gnashed her teeth in anger, but she was not familiar with the area. Even if she wanted to leave, she did not know who to approach for help.
Joe could sense her predicament and said, âEva, weâre already here. Just bear with it for a week. Even if you really want to quit, wait until weâre back in Ryoln City, alright?â
Eva reluctantly said, âFine. Iâll quit the moment we get back to Ryoln City. Iâm supposed to be a secretary. I shouldnât suffer like this!â
By the time she dragged her luggage into the living room, Silvia had already set up her bed.
She remained indifferent when she saw Eva. She was neither angry nor happy that Eva had agreed to stay.
Joe could sense the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, and he said, âMiss Pond, Eva knows that she was wrong. Please donât take the incident earlier to heart.â
âI wonât. Itâs just a job. If she wants to do it, sheâll do it. If she doesnât, she wonât. Itâs that simple,â Silvia calmly said.
Eva was embarrassed, and she looked upset.
Joe was worried that she would start arguing with Silvia, so he said, âEva, pick a room. Iâll take the remaining one.â
âOkay.â
Once Eva picked her room, both of them went in to place their luggage.
After they settled down, they came out. Conrad had also delivered lunch by then.
âIâm terribly sorry, Miss Pond. We have nothing fancy to offer you. I hope youâll find this to your liking.â
Eva looked at the food on the table. Lunch consisted of roasted chicken, a tomato omelet, stir-fried vegetables, and vegetable soup.

Silvia shook her head and said, âThis is considered a fancy lunch. You donât have to bring us so much food next time. Just bring us some stir-fried vegetables. You plant your own vegetables, donât you?â
