Jacob took the wheel and as the car engine sung to the city roads, Beryl and Emily relished the roaring winds that twirled their hair and whistled in her ears. Meanwhile, Ancho had to ride with the bodyguards in the car behind them.
Although, she was deeply opposed to this, she had to bear it with a heavy heart and keep her feelings hidden under a fake smile.
Before long they arrived at one of the most famous photography studios of Jingshi City, where some of the biggest talents and professional photographers of the industry were waiting for them.
With the suggestion of the photographers, they went to pick their outfits for the photoshoot, while, Ancho stood in one spot, biting her nails and fidgeting awkwardly, feeling completely out of place.
"Hey you! Come here and help tidy their clothes." One of the photographers waved at her, but when she didn't respond, he became impatient. "Yeah, you! How is that someone as mindless as you, has managed to work as an assistant for the Gu family?"
Aggrieved, Ancho bit her lip and arrogantly denied, "I'm not their assistant..."
The photographer was running out of patience. "If you are not the assistant, then who are you again? What exactly are you doing here?"
"I..." Ancho opened her mouth to answer, but she quickly pursed her lips into a line when she realized that it would do her well to keep her mouth shut.
Did she have to tell him the truth that she was a maid? To be more specific, she was the nanny of Jacob Gu's daughter.
She decided that it was better to admit that she was an assistant than say she was a maid, because at least it sounded better.
Feeling humiliated, with a mutter or two Ancho retreated into a sulk and then decided to get on with the tidying.
Meanwhile, the family of three got ready to take their very first family photo. Beryl stood in between Jacob and Emily, while the joyous smile on her face made her small face appear rounder than usual, cute as a button.
Both of Jacob and Emily held their daughter with one hand, and used the other hand to make a shape of heart in the air. The photograph represented the idea of a loving, picture-perfect family.
Taking several group photos together wasn't as easy as it sounded and during the time of intermission, Emily had to go change her outfit again accompanied by an assistant to help her. Ancho managed to slip past everyone without drawing too much attention and followed them secretly.
"Ma'am, may I help you change your clothes?" Ancho walked forward with enthusiasm, reaching out her hands to help Emily.
Emily, however, quickly moved away to avoid being touched by her and refused her politely, "No, thank you. Don't bother. You are a good friend of Beryl's, how could I let you do that?"
The smile on Emily's face was so tender and warm that it was hard to believe she was the same woman who said all those poisonous things the other day.
Emily's polite attitude annoyed Ancho as she couldn't help feeling condescended on, even though that was not Emily's intention. Sh
d to make money, so we have to care about the money we are spending on this dress. Unless you would like to pay for it. Would you?"
Ancho stood there frozen as she watched Emily in awe. There was nothing short of disgust on her face, almost hatred, as her face reddened with anger. 'As if you really care about the money!
You bought all the clothes without even thinking twice.' Ancho knew that Emily was just making this up. This is was just Emily's way of humiliating her in front of everyone.
Ancho answered with an aggrieved tone, "I think it's obvious that I can't afford to pay for it..."
"You can pay for it in instalments."
Emily looked at her with a condescending look and said, "Since you are working for the Gu family, you can pay for it with your salary. You won't have to worry about any deadlines. What do you say?"
Ancho was on the verge of exploding, but she had to play it calm and accept Emily's offer because everyone was looking at them and she felt embarrassed to say that she didn't want to pay for it at all.
Within a few minutes, the staff brought over a new dress and Emily put the new over her to compare it. While she was watching herself in the mirror, a faint smile escaped her lips.
Everyone around her were stunned by her captivating smile. They felt as though they had seen the blossom of bright-coloured mountain flowers, vibrant and full of life.
Everyone, apart from Ancho, as she was the only one with a disdainful look on her face, angered by the fact that Emily had strong-armed her into paying for the damaged dress.
Emily suggested, "Miss Ancho, you'd better not touch anything that doesn't belong to you in the future, just in case you can't afford to pay for it. Don't you agree with me?"
"Yes, ma'am. You are right." Ancho's eyes flew open as the row of heads turned to face her. But there was no rescue from this embarrassment. It was absolute. Torture. Utter humiliation. The memory would be seared into her brain forever, ready to pop up and torment her again.
