Lawful Jargons

I clenched my fists before turning around from the window. Nothing was going to change if I continue to ponder over it.

I might as well just get started with the day and head to nova company. If they were going to use me for clout, they might as well call me and give me a contract.

Heading to the bathroom, I made a mental note that I hadn't seen Laila, the maid, today. It was strange; she usually had the morning shift. But I pushed the thought aside, focusing instead on the task at hand: taking a shower.

As the warm water flowed down my body, I closed my eyes, letting the steam envelop me like a comforting embrace. But even the soothing sensation couldn't chase away the nagging comments that plagued my mind.

"Isn't she too old?"

I couldn't help but frown. I took care of my skin, always, I was anything but old.
