Fourth

That afternoon on the left wing of the Jazzton mansion, Agnes was busy picking various flowers planted by Nori. A middle-aged woman who was the mansion's butler and Jovin's nanny from infancy. She has a gentle demeanor and a motherly spirit, and Agnes likes her. At least with Nori, Agnes got the motherly love she hadn't gotten since she was 5 years old.

“Sweet girl, Jovin will be home soon. You better go inside before Jovin comes home and doesn't find you,” Nori said in her soft voice.

“Oh come on, Nori, it's only five o'clock in the afternoon, and Jovin gets home at six o'clock, right?” replied Agnes, a little annoyed that her activities had been interrupted.

“Hey, don't argue!”

“It'll take you forever to take a shower. Not to mention getting dressed, that's going to take hours,” Nori continued with a stern look and then pulled Agnes' arm to stand up.

The girl grunted in annoyance as Nori pulled her arm and led her to walk, not to mention Nori's words just now which made her even more annoyed.

“Tsk! Everyone's always commenting on me about that, even though I only spent ten minutes bathing and ten minutes getting dressed,” Agnes said with an annoyed face, making Nori annoyed with her.

“Let's stop talking and get ready,” Nori said quickly and quickened her pace. Meanwhile, Agnes, still with an annoyed look on her face, just surrendered when her hand was held by Nori.

The refreshing feeling enveloping Agnes' body after the girl soaked for a long time in the bathtub with abundant rose-scented foam and her favorite strawberry-scented shampoo added a special impression to Agnes. She felt very at home in this mansion, everything she had ever dreamed of was here.

A little info. Agnes is an ambitious person, but she is not selfish. She is more likely to give in to a decision that goes against her opinion. Sometimes it's a little hard on her heart to accept, but she can't do anything about it. Agnes can't bear it when it comes to her loved ones. Let's say she was stupid. Yes, Agnes admits that she is stupid because she always obeys her loved one's words even though she tries to accept it sincerely.

Agnes had a friend who was considered her best friend during Junior High School, a friend who always accommodated all of Agnes' complaints. Her best friend is the type of person who is excited, bar-bar but most often sulks or gets angry quickly and doesn't want to lose. Selfish, right? She always wants to win, and in the end Agnes is the one who always gives in for her sake. But strangely, their friendship lasted because her best friend was a good listener, always gave Agnes support and always understood her situation. But one thing Agnes doesn't like about her is her selfishness, which sometimes makes Agnes sick and annoyed. However, Agnes is very good at covering everything up, to the point that everyone thinks Agnes is a girl with no problems. She lived a peaceful and prosperous life. But they were wrong, it was just a mask covering her true self.

Agnes Alexandra. A jolly girl, so hyperactive and smiling. They knew her like that. Without knowing if she was actually an introvert in her neighborhood. It was only outside her neighborhood that the girl could show her true self.

But now that was no longer the case, now Agnes was completely free from her mother's watchful eye. She didn't need to pretend to be happy when her heart was broken just to show people that she was so happy living in this world. Thanks to Jovin who brought her here, changing her life from ordinary to extraordinary.

Here Agnes received an abundance of love. Spoiled and cared for. They loved her like that, but the one who played the biggest role was Nori. It was evident that during the week Agnes had been staying at the Jazzton mansion, she had played the role of Agnes' mother. For example, when the girl was preoccupied with her world and forgot to eat, she reminded Agnes, and she didn't even hesitate to get the girl's food if Agnes just said 'yes' and didn't move. Considerate, right? Of course.

Ah, remembering about her Junior High School days, Agnes had a gang. It was called Rabbitch. It might sound very rude, even many people sneered at their gang name, but the three of them didn't care about that. Agnes and her two friends were a bit promiscuous, sometimes skipping school just to have fun outside and spend time together. Moreover, one of her friends was often left behind by her parents because they worked outside the city, leaving the three girls free to do whatever they wanted at home. And as for the absences, Agnes had a distant cousin who was quite the school bully so she could enlist the help of her cousin to threaten the class president into letting the three girls skip class.

After all, they skipped class when the last hour of the subject was absent. Agnes et al were not that crazy, the three of them were labeled as obedient students by the principal and stood out because of their unquestionable brains, even their absences were very clean, not to mention the class absences held by the class leader, thanks to Agnes' cousin's threats, they were safe.

Clara Fawnia and Fiona Lincoln. The two names that Agnes misses the most, the best friends who were her *mood boosters. Although sometimes they couldn't give advice, they were also good listeners. Especially when Agnes told them about her family, about her revenge plan against the man who cheated on her mother and made her life a mess, they supported her, but if she told them about her boyfriends, they would blast her, and what annoyed her the most was Fiona's words. Always interfering in Agnes' love life. But Agnes still loved her.

According to Agnes, she was too young to be in a relationship. She went to school to study, not to go to school to play around or have relationships with her schoolmates. That's something Agnes never thought about.

Still wearing a white kimono towel, and a small matching towel in her hand. Agnes stood on the balcony of her room while enjoying the view of the blackening sky. She occasionally rubbed her natural honey brown hair with the white towel in her hand. As she was busy with her activities, she did not realize that a pair of brown eyes were watching her from below. Observing the strange behavior of Agnes who occasionally smiled a little and even chuckled.

The figure still hadn't moved from his spot, standing in front of his car until Agnes entered and closed the balcony door to her room. Only then did she leave with a faint smile on her lips.

A few minutes later...

With a hurried step Agnes came down past the steps while biting her lower lip. He was afraid to come late for dinner. No way! He's five minutes late. And that makes him a little hasty when he walks.

"Sorry, I'm late again," Agnes told Jovin. The man was silent looking straight ahead.

"How come it's not too late, you're too good with your daydreaming." The man's words surprised Agnes a little. How did the man know? Ah, no wonder Agnes felt someone was watching her, MISTAKE! More like paying attention to it.

"Don't worry about it anymore, let's eat," said Jovin surprised Agnes to make the girl nod spontaneously.
