The cleaning in the villa was usually done by the helpers that Dorothy arranged.
But Melina had to do all the housework by herself. She started at sunset and finished around 11:00 pm.
After wrapping up the chores, she went back to her room to take a bath and go to bed, only to realize that she didn't know how to operate the smart bathtub.
Dorothy had shown Melina how to use the vacuum cleaner and washing machine. However, Dorothy had no idea that she was used to heating her bath water by herself when she lived in the mountains. She had never used a shower, let alone a smart bathtub.
Melina thought about asking Dorothy for help, but then she noticed it was quite late and didn't want to disturb Dorothy's rest.
Andrew, who stayed upstairs, crossed her mind for a while. But she shook her head and dismissed the idea. After all, he definitely wouldn't bother to help.
Melina fiddled with it for a long time but could only get cold water, so she decided to just take a cold bath. Anyway, she was in good health and had taken cold baths before.
After the bath, Melina sneezed a little. She was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down.
Melina had never stayed in a spacious and pretty room like this.
But a closer look would reveal that Melina's belongings only took up a small part of the cabinet, and she curled up in the corner of a large bed when she slept.
She appeared so helpless, as if she was living at the mercy of others.
…
The next morning, Melina woke up at 6:00 am. Perhaps it was due to the cold bath yesterday night, she felt a little feverish.
But since Melina had always been in good shape, she didn't bother with it. After washing up, she headed to the kitchen right away to prepare breakfast, like a dutiful wife.
Melina made her way to the kitchen. As she opened the fridge, she was taken aback. It was filled with alcohol and drinks, without a single cooking ingredient in sight.
She recalled Dorothy's instructions yesterday about Andrew only eating fresh food. She really wanted to ask if storing ingredients in the fridge made them not fresh anymore.
Dwelling on it was pointless, so Melina quickly headed out to buy some groceries.
She ran out into the chilling breeze. After strolling for a while, she only saw small houses around, and there wasn't a market in sight. Eventually, she came across a café and went inside to buy breakfast.
Melina got herself some empanadas and pasta.
Seriously, it was over 60 dollars?
