Miya is gripped by anxiety. Seeing that the director has run out of patience and is about to leave the office, she quickly catches up with her.
Out of sheer desperation, she lunges at the director and holds her thigh tightly to stop her.
"Director, I beg you to give me this chance. I can do whatever you want me to do. It's great to have a free servant, isn't it?" She has already made the biggest concession. Why is the director still reluctant to give her a chance?
Hearing this, the director is even more annoyed. How can she give Miya a chance? This woman will only steal her daughter's beloved man, so she wishes that Miya can immediately disappear.
Taking a deep breath, the director says in a warning tone, "I won't repeat this a second time. Our orphanage won't keep you as an employee, so please give up. I don't want you to disturb us anymore."
Her tone is determined, indicating that she won't be swayed by Miya's begging. Miya wonders what else she can do, for she is unwilling to give up like this.
"This is all I have to say to you. You'd better leave now. Don't appear in front of us again. Please leave us alone."
Miya has never expected that the director will speak to her in the same manner. She pleads her desperately, as if she is a terrifying uninvited guest.
"But I won't disturb you. I'll do anything for you. As long as you allow me to stay here, I am always at your service. What exactly do I have to do so that you can keep me in the orphanage?" Miya is at the end of her wits now.
"No matter what you say, I can't keep you here, because even your existence annoys me. Please quickly disappear in front of us."
With that, the director pushes Miya away impatiently.
Miya sits on the ground helplessly. She is so desperate that she almost bursts into tears. However, she knows it's not the time to be cowardly. She has to think of a way to stay, or she will never be able to find Alex in her entire life. All she hopes is to stay by his side. Otherwise, she will have no chance left at all. Thinking of this, she hurries to the director who has walked out of the office.
"Why are you so persistent? What is your purpose in staying here? I know that you have ill intentions. Can't you let us off with mercy? You can go to other places with money and power. Why on earth do you insist on staying at our orphanage?" The director is on the verge of breaking down. She has never seen such a troublesome woman before. What should she do to drive her away?
After they walk out of the courtyard, the director says ruthlessly, "I warn you not to follow me. I still have work to do and I must take care of the children in the orphanage. I can't waste my time on you. I know you have a lot of free time, but I am not as idle as you. You can feel free to chase that man, but if you fail, don't come over here to beg me. Just please stay out of my sight."
The director's resolute refusal pushes Miya into the abyss of despair.
Miya also knows that she shouldn't continue pestering the director, but she can't give up because of this. "No matter what you say, I won't leave. Besides, all you need to do is let me stay here. I promise I will do every task given to me. Don't you want to have an obedient servant?"
"Why do you torment yourself like this?" The director begins to feel pity towards her. If it weren't for her daughter, she would take her in. But now, for the sake of her daughter's happiness, she has to firmly reject Miya. Otherwise, Miya will take this opportunity to chase John. Judging from her strong willpower, the director is sure that John will soften his attitude under her perseverance.
