Immediately, the door opened. The man looked at Trevor, his eyes red, probably from alcohol, or perhaps from the argument that had already been going on in the sitting room.

He remained quiet, looking straight past Trevor at Rose, who stood just behind him.

"Come on, Victor, don’t tell me you’re thinking like a jerk. He’s only my employee, and I haven’t even seen him for some time," Rose spoke calmly, as if they had not been arguing just moments ago.

Victor didn’t say anything further. He simply turned and left the building. He was definitely heading to work.

There was a brief, awkward silence in the air, but Miss Rose immediately cleared it.

"Trevor, please come in. Don’t mind my manners," she said calmly.

She was a very attractive woman. She was currently wearing a baggy shirt, which, despite its looseness, was pushed outward by her chest.

Her hair was purple in color, styled neatly with a clip at the side that held it together, making her look even more stunning.

She wore an elastic skirt to complete her outfit. The skirt was only slightly shorter than usual, but it still remained within a decent and acceptable range.

"So, what brings you over to my house?" Miss Silvia asked calmly as she took a seat on one of the cushions.

"Take a seat, please," she added, making herself comfortable.

"Well, good morning, ma. I came to apologize for not coming to work for over a week now," Trevor said calmly, carefully controlling his words.

"Well, I see. I hope you have a good reason for that, right?" Mia said calmly, giving him a look that clearly meant he had better not disappoint her.

"Yes, ma, I do have a reason," Trevor replied calmly, taking a deep breath before finally speaking.

"I have found a new job, and I would like to resign from my work here," Trevor said, maintaining his composure as he looked straight into her eyes.

"Are you kidding me?" Miss Rose asked calmly.

Trevor knew deep down that this information was definitely not going to sit well with her, at the very least.

She had grown quite close to him during this time.

She often came to his area during work hours to tell him about her relationship problems. Sometimes she sought his advice, and other times she just needed someone to genuinely vent to.

"No, ma, I’m not joking. I have found a job that pays more," Trevor said calmly, unable to bring himself to look her directly in the eyes.

Miss Rose let out a sigh of relief, as if she had finally understood everything.

"Trevor, it’s alright. I know where this is going. I’ll double your salary. After all, you’re not just an employee, you’re my very good friend," she said with a smile.

Trevor looked at her for a few seconds, then lowered his head once again.

Almost immediately, Miss Rose’s smile froze on her face.

"Wait... that’s not the problem?" She immediately stood up from her seat and then sat down closer to Trevor.

"What’s the problem? If it’s your mom, I can talk to her. She’s a very good friend of mine."

Trevor shook his head, indicating that it wasn’t his mother.

"Then what is it? Are you being bullied by anyone at work?" she asked, still calm, trying her best to get him to explain.

"It’s actually nothing. I just don’t want to continue, since I’ve gotten a new job, and it pays more, especially with this one being at night," Trevor said calmly.

Before Miss Rose could say anything else, Trevor quickly added,

"Trust me, it’s my choice. I really want to thank you for everything you’ve done for me during the past weeks I’ve worked in your company."

This time, he received no response.

He could see Miss Rose trying to hold herself together after hearing the news.

Trevor almost felt bad, but it wasn’t really his fault.

By next week, he would begin his dungeon journeys, so he couldn’t afford to juggle everything at once.

Just before Trevor could speak again, Victor barged into the house. He walked straight to the television stand and grabbed the document he had come for.

Then he finally spoke.

"Please prepare something for us to eat. I’ll be having some guests over tonight."

With that, he left the house again.

Rose’s mood visibly worsened.

Trevor, noticing this, began to think of ways to lighten the mood.

But what he didn’t know was that Victor had been cheating on Rose every single night with other women.

It had been going on for over two months now.

Yet she had refused to tell anyone, including Trevor, because it felt too embarrassing.

The worst part was that she had tried her best to stop him, but she simply couldn’t.

Still, she stayed, as though bound by something she couldn’t explain.

"Well, don’t worry. I’m sure he’s really the best for you. He might just be having a bad day or something," Trevor said calmly, trying to lift her spirits.

He had always tried not to take Rose’s side over the weeks, often offering excuses for Victor, mostly because he suspected she wasn’t telling him everything.

On a normal day, Rose would have agreed with Trevor and even asked for advice on how to handle such bad days better.

But tonight was different.

She was done.

She wasn’t sure what made her realize it, whether it was the sadness or something else, but something inside her had shifted.

She was tired of all the pain Victor had caused her. All the times he had beaten her over minor mistakes.

All the nights she had tried to sleep while hearing disturbing sounds from his room.

She was tired of everything.

Slowly, she raised her head and looked at Trevor.

"No... he is a very horrible human being, and I don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore."
