Chương 21: Another Day

Irene's body clenched as she reached her climax.

Mind-blowing orgasm racked Brent's body as he emptied his seeds inside her, then he collapsed on the bed.

The room was silent, the only sound they can hear was the loud beating of their hearts.

Gradually the passion faded and their breathing returned to normal.

Brent planted a kiss on Irene's lips. "Sleep now, sweetie. When you wake up tomorrow, you're already back in your room in the ancestral house," he whispered. He grabbed the blanket and covered their naked body with it. He draped his arms on her waist bringing their body closer together.

Irene shut her eyes, feeling tired of their pleasurable lovemaking.

A few minutes later, she drifted into dreamland.

Brent kissed her lips and shut his eyes.

Time went by, but the dream did not fade away because everything that took place earlier happened in reality.

Brent looked at Irene's pretty face. He was confident that when she woke up anytime from now and discovered that she was naked, she will go mad for sure. He tricked her into believing that they were having sex in their dreams but the truth is, they are making love in reality. It's all about manipulation and illusion.

A mischievous smile lingered on his lips, then he vanished from the room after kissing Irene goodbye.

The following day.

Irene woke up to a bright new day. She stretched her body and looked at her side, it was empty, good! The vampire is gone!

But when she was about to leave the bed and the blanket fell from her body she was horrified to discover that she was naked!

Her mouth hung open in shock!

Oh, my God!

This time, she had sex with the vampire for real!

B-but she thought they were doing it in a dream last night. H-how come?

Irene's hands formed into a fist. GRRRR! She was tricked by that horny vampire!

What can she expect? He was a vampire demon after all!

Besides even if she will get mad, there's nothing she can do about it, they already have an agreement that the payment of his gifts was her body.

Irene released a deep sigh.

She already made a deal with the vampire, she can no longer back out now.

Frustrated and annoyed, Irene left the bed and entered the bathroom. He needs to take a shower because she can still smell the vampire's scent on her body.

Inside the bathroom.

Irene washed her body with soap three times, trying to get rid of Brent's powerful smell embedded on her skin.

A few minutes later she was done showering and left the room, going to the kitchen on the ground floor.

She made herself a coffee and a sandwich, the easiest breakfast that she can feed herself.

While munching on her sandwich, she looked at the red roses on the flower vase, the flowers reminded her of the vampire.

She released a deep sigh and finished her breakfast in a hurry. Aunt Zell and Uncle Norman will be arriving soon!

Half an hour later.

The visitors finally arrived and Irene welcome them to the house.

"Hello, Aunt and Uncle!" Irene greeted the couple.

Aunt Zell smiled at Irene. "This is my cousin Jim, he was the one who work in the Green Farm," she said, introducing them to each other.

"Hello, Ma'am, please to meet you!" Jim said.

Irene smiled. "Nice meeting you as well. You can check the whole area and let me know what you can suggest to me. I want to know what kind of crops or vegetables that can be harvested in a short time, within two or three months. I want a speedy return on my investment," she said.

"Okay, Ma'am. I'll check the area," Jim said.

"Go ahead, feel free to explore the entire area, let's see if you can come up with something brilliant," Irene challenged him.

"I'll try my best, Ma'am," Jim said shyly.

"I'll accompany him since I know the whole area," Aunt Zell offered.

Irene nodded her head and said, "Okay, go ahead, Aunt."

Aunt Zell and Jim took their leave.

Irene faced Zell's husband. "Uncle, let's go inside the house so that I can show you the rooms upstairs," she said.

Norman nodded his head and replied, "Okay, after you."

Norman and Irene entered the house and climbed the stairs.

Irene pointed at the ceiling. "I want the whole roofs to be replaced as well the ceiling because they're already rotting due to the leakage of rainwater during heavy rain," she said.

"No problem," Normal said while inspecting the ceiling.

"There are five rooms in the second room, the only room that is not heavily damaged by rainwater is the one that I'm occupying right now," Irene stated.

"I see..." Norman said.

Irene looked at the carpenter. "Uncle, can you and your men start working tomorrow right away? I want the repairs done in two weeks," she said.

"No problem, but we need more manpower to work overtime if you want the roofs and ceilings to be replaced in just two weeks," Norman said.

"I have no problem with more men working together to finish the job quickly, money is not a problem. I just want the repairs on the second floor to be finished within two weeks. As for the repairs on the ground floor they are next on my list, then afterward, half of your men will construct the bunkhouse for the workers on my farm," Irene explained.

"Alright, no problem then. It's easy to assemble my friends because we are neighbors. I will write down all the materials needed for the repairs, then we can go to the construction store today and buy all the materials needed for tomorrow. How about that?" Norman said.

"Yes, please..." Irene nodded her head in agreement.

Norman removed the notebook and pen from his bag and began scribbling on his notes.

A few minutes later, he was done making the list and gave it to Irene. "Here's the list. We can always order anything that is lacking and the construction store will deliver it here," he said.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Irene said and inspected the list. "Let's just wait for Aunt and Jim, then afterward let's go to the store and order the materials for the repair."

"Okay," Norman said, lowering himself on the chair. "Are you interested to build a fish pond around here? Just for personal consumption, or if you want you can also sell some fish to the market," he suggested.

Irene's smiled brightly. "Wow! Thanks for the suggestion, Uncle. I always wanted to have a fish pond around here someday. I'll incorporate that in my farming project!" she gushes excitedly.

"Me and my friends know how to build a fishpond. We are the ones who build the one hectare fishpond of Mr. Arief in the next village and also the fish pond of the Green Farm," Norman said.

"That's great! I will hire you and your men," Irene said. She was fortunate that the people that she was going to hire to work on the farm and repair the house are Uncle Norman and his friends, they can be trusted because they were residents in the same village.

Fifteen minutes later.

Aunt Zell and Jim arrived at the house.

Irene looked at Jim. "What do you think of the area?" she asked.

"The soil around here is good for planting. Fast-growing vegetables such as Squash, Spinach, Sweet Potatoes, Radish, Carrots, Cucumbers, Chinese Cabbage and many more can be cultivated," Jim said. "Don't worry, Ma'am. My friends and I know how to grow and take care of the vegetables until harvest time. That is our job description and responsibility on the farm on daily basis," he reassured her.

Irene smiled. "Glad to hear that. Inform your friends that I'm going to hire them all. How many are they?" she asked.

"We are a total of 25 workers, Ma'am. We lose our job when the farm was sold to the buyer who has no interest in farming," Jim said sadly.

"Tell me, when you and your friends can start cultivating the land so that we can start right away. If you want, you can start tomorrow!" Irene said excitedly.

"Copy, Ma'am! I will inform my friends about your offer," Jim said happily.

"Give me a list of all the farming tools that we need to buy, including the seedlings, fertilizers and where to buy them," Irene said.

"Copy, Ma'am. Thank you very much for hiring us," Jim said, feeling grateful.

Irene replied, "Don't mention it."

Irene, Jim, and Norman discussed the salary of the workers.

Half an hour later.

Irene and her entourage left the ancestral house, going to the store to order the construction materials needed for the house repair as well the farming tools needed for the farm.
