to work overtime throughout the night in order to boost the revenue figures. They were made to work
almost sixteen hours a day. Many workers fainted on the job. Some nearly died from the shock and
were being monitored in ICUS.
Adina skimmed through the news. “Daniel, we have two shifts at the site. Each shift is supposed to be
eight hours of work. You have to pay attention to that, alright?”

deep in thought, she suddenly felt a cold win sweep through the window.
The floor–to–ceiling windows in the master bedroom were already fixed, but the place had been
converted to a balcony with a sliding door. The window near the door was always kept closed.

appeared on the window.

approached her slowly. “The bio–intelligent chip is already embedded into your body. You have no
choice but to follow my commands as long as I have the controller.” His hands stroked her hair. “Come
on, go lie down on the bed.” His voice resonated in Adina‘s mind. It eventually became a buzzing echo,
and her consciousness slowly faded. Her legs sluggishly parted, and she walked towards the bed. She
took off her shoes and laid down on the bed. “Wouldn‘t it be much better if you just obeyed me right
from the beginning, hm?”
