Baby Zetty was reluctant. "Mister, would you be coming tomorrow?"
Jay replied gently, "Yes.”
"Mister, can I have your number, please?"
"Of course," Jay said as he gave her his number.
Baby Zetty gave him a big hug. "Mister, please come earlier tomorrow."
"Alright." Jay caressed Baby Zetty's silky hair, feeling warm inside.
He felt weird. Why would his own son not give him this sort of treatment?
After he left Horizon Colors, Jay called for a cab and hurriedly left for Tourmaline Estate.
It was quite the distance from Imperial Capital to the outskirts.
Just when he was worried about the fare, his phone rang. It was a notification about a fund transfer. It was from 'Lady Of The Empire Without Sunset'.
The Lady Of The Empire Without Sunset left a message. 'Teacher Ben, I'm Baby Zetty's mommy. The kid loves your lessons. For the next year, I shall have you booked for classes, so please don't accept any other jobs. By the way, I've paid the entire year's fees
upfront. If the amount is too little, there’s room for negotiation."
Jay looked at the seven-digit salary and sank into deep thought.
Baby Zetty's mommy was not calculative, unlike other women. Jay liked her even more now.
He sent her a short reply. 'The pay is good. Thank you.'
When Jay arrived at the site in Tourmaline Estate, he could not find the fishermen. Only Tommy was there. When Tommy saw him, he burst into tears. "Ben, what should we do? The other fishermen were brought away by the cops."
Jay was exceptionally calm. "What happened?"
