Just then, Jemmas voice pierced the air from outside the door. Mr. Miller, have you had enough fun?
Nicoles heart pounded wildly. It seemed Jemma had positioned outside the chamber for a while just to catch Deniz when he walked out.
Nicole was uncertain whether Jemma worked for Vicki. Something in Jemmas demeanor felt off, elusive like a shadow at dusk. She observed that Jemma portrayed two distinct personas. The one visible to the world was merely a mask. It was difficult to determine if the concealed side harbored good intentions.
Fortunately, Deniz navigated the situation with finesse. His voice was steady and calm as he addressed the issue, These girls youve introduced are inadequate. They lack the basic skills in hospitality! Jemma, its essential that you train them more effectively.

The only way to secure a normal, safe existence for her child was to dismantle the power of these influential figures. She was determined not to give up, no matter the circumstances. Now, her sole purpose was to see these arrogant tyrants toppled from their pedestals.

Jemma declared. Her voice carried a sharp, slightly sarcastic edge.
Nicole got to her feet and responded compliantly, Thats fine, Jemma.
Observing her compliance, Jemma felt a wave of relief and couldnt help but sneer, The key to handling matters is knowing your limits. Venturing beyond them is not only self-destructive but also ridiculous and harmful to others.
