Chapter 983


    Esther felt lost when it seemed like James had blocked her.


    She checked her messages and noticed their couple''s disy picture had changed. She attempted


    to send a message there, realizing he hadn''t blocked her there.


    [Hello?]


    There was no response, but Esther wasn''t ready to give up. She sent another message, only to find


    herself blocked there as well.


    Running out of options without being able to call or text him, Esther grew frustrated. With a guard


    dog at the door, she couldn''t even confront James directly. What was James doing…


    She felt sad at first, but then she remembered she pushed him away and stopped feeling that way.


    But even after her actions, James hadn''t said a word. How could she give up over these minor


    setbacks?


    She approached the door and knocked.


    The woman nced at her briefly and ignored her.


    "Open the door," Esther demanded.


    Though the door was soundproof, the woman could still make out Esther''s words. "No," she replied


    curtly.


    "If you don''t open the door, I''ll break it down," Esther threatened with a smile, causing the woman''s


    expression to change.


    Realizing it was an anti-theft door, the woman knew Esther wouldn''t be able to break it. However, if


    James heard themotion, he might me her for not treating their guests properly.


    Considering her options, the woman reluctantly opened the door. "Come in," she muttered.


    Esther entered with her head held high, feeling victorious, and flopped down onto the couch. "Get


    me a ss of water," she ordered.


    The woman''s face turned red with anger. It wasn''t a big request, but she didn''t want to do anything


    for Esther.


    "Why are you still standing there? Get me a ss of water. I''ve been talking so much my throat is


    dry," Esther insisted.


    Forcing a smile, the woman replied, "The water cooler is over there. You can get it yourself."


    "As a guest, I''ve never heard of having to fetch my own water. Who taught you how to entertain


    guests? Why did James hire you?" Esther fired off questions.


    The woman had no answers but feared James''s opinion. Afraid of being fired, she reluctantly got a


    ss of water from the cooler and approached Esther.

    However, as she handed over the ss, she intentionally spilled it on Esther''s hand.
