Young Master Aurelius could not believe what is happening. If it is only once, it can be considered a pure coincidence. If twice, it can be as a result of pure luck but after the third time in just mid-morning, he would like to consider it as an outcome of a job well done but he knows that something is very unusual!

His family has been in this business for a long time but this never happened before! All of their products are extremely rare and of very high quality so each of them is very precious and utterly expensive, making it not easy to sell them. It is normal to sell one or two items to different individuals in a day but the new employee, Bea Lamvel could easily sell several items to one customer and do the exact thing to the succeeding customers?

It is truly strange so he decided to observe and finally discovered the reason after her fourth successful transaction. He should be happy since his jewelry shop earned so much today but he feels the opposite instead! He is not just unhappy but more like, very angry so he decided to assign her to another job and teach her accounting and bookkeeping work so she will stay by his side and she does not need to face the customers anymore! His business is doing great before she arrived, it will not go bankrupt if he decides to hide her now!

Agatha is glaring at the room where Young Master Aurelius and the new employee, Bea Lamvel are currently staying. She gritted her teeth as she imagined what can they possibly do inside that secluded room...

Bitch! I worked so hard and did my best! I stayed with Young Master Aurelius for a very long time! He is only mine! The person who should be with him is me! I will never let a bitch like you seduce him and climb into his bed!

Beatrix felt uncomfortable when her employer suddenly told her to enter his private room alone. It is located at the back, in the secluded part of the structure where no other employees are allowed to go. She had a feeling that he was previously the only one allowed to enter that room but why is he telling her to enter it with him now?

She reluctantly followed him because she does not want to lose her job on the first day of her work. She prayed silently that he will not do something disgusting to her or else, she will be forced to quit on the first day of her work!

She sighed a relief when she realized that he is planning to teach her accounting and bookkeeping work. He even promised to give her a promotion and reward if she successfully mastered it within one month.

Beatrix listened carefully as he discussed the basics with her. She smiled secretly because accounting and bookkeeping skills are part of her training as a future princess and empress so she already mastered it long ago! She only needs to learn specific information about the jewelry shop to fully integrate her previous knowledge into it.

She already mastered accounting and bookkeeping long ago but she is not going to tell him because she does not want to explain why a commoner like her knew so much about it and she is also interested to get the promotion and reward. She needs the salary, promotion, and reward so she could buy a small house and lot in the capital of Solaris Empire and continue living decently in this new place.

Suddenly, she remember that she agreed to stay in the palace when she discussed with Emperor Valentine her plan to move out. She is worried that her continued stay in the palace and his blatant special treatment might result in several groundless and stupid rumors about them. She is not worried about herself because she decided to remain single in this lifetime but what about Emperor Valentine? She is aware that he needs to marry soon to continue the imperial lineage of the Solaris Empire. How can her conscience bear it if she caused a serious misunderstanding between him and his wife in the future?

She does not want to continue relying on others. She needs to work and support her own needs. She must earn a large amount of money soon to buy her own place in the capital. After that, she will reopen the discussion about her moving out of the palace so he could not refuse anymore.

Emperor Valentine is a good person and friend to her but she feels that she is abusing his kindness and generosity. They are not related by blood and he does not have any obligation to her. She needs to be independent and live simply yet comfortably by herself.

The events in her past lifetimes taught her something very important and made her realize that she brought chaos and destruction to her husbands just as they also brought pain and misery to her. She does not hate them and only hopes that they will have separate paths moving forward. They could marry anyone they like or do anything that they like. On the other hand, she will not marry and drag another poor, unfortunate man into her messy life! She hopes that fate will help her this time instead of screwing her intended plans like usual...
