It took Alayna and everyone a great deal to finish recording all of the people that wanted to join. And thanks to this frenzy, Alayna was even forced to hire a few part time workers to help with the recording.
With month end approaching, everyone was eager to receive their salaries and see this program going. At the same time, Alayna and her employees were busy preparing the stokvel cards for every individual that have registered.
The cards will be handed over when they come to pay their shares. Thanks to this, Alayna’s plans of returning back home were put on hold but it was worth it.
Even her employees also participated and joined but they formed one group as they didn’t want any outsiders.
So, their cards were the first to be made and the nine of them were very happy about this. Alayna didn’t forget to make the V.V. I. P cards for Selena and her group of friends who were very generous to pay the shop several silvers for their hard work.
On the last day of the month, Alayna paid her employees and vanished when she was done.
She has to pay her other employees as well. There was no one at home but she still took out all the money needed and left a note for the kids and Elena when they come back.
After doing that she returned once more to Belshoy, Alayna was going to make sure that the first contributions were handled beautifully and for those that fails to contribute, they will be cancelled off the books, after all, there were still others who wanted to join but couldn’t as Alayna had closed off the registering process at the moment.
Alayna set the deadline to the fourth of every month for all the contributors and the fifth day was the day to do the handover to the lucky person. So, everyone was very anxious and happy at the same time.
[Hahaha, I received my card. Although I am not the first person, I still can’t wait for my turn.]
[I am the first in my group and I can’t wait already.]
[I have been dying to finish my house for a long time already and with this money, I can happily go back to the village and finish it in one go.]
[One day I shall also join other high limit groups.]
[Stop dreaming!]
A lot of chatter was happening and everyone was looking forward to that day and the day quickly arrived as well.
There were several people who were removed from the groups who failed to contribute for many reasons but that didn’t stop the whole program from continuing.
On the fifth, several people graced the shop and they were all there to receive their portion of money. Those that received their money left with smiles on their faces.

It was a tiring day but it was a happy day as well, the shop earned a lot of money from the bookkeeping fees and Alayna set all the money aside. It was going to be useful in the future.
Alayna wasn’t planning on introducing something else at this stage as she was truly afraid that she won’t be going home and she really missed going home.
She gave Olinda instructions to pack up as they were leaving and Nancy had already moved in month end and was now used to living at the shop.
Olinda was very excited that they were finally leaving as she wanted to see her younger siblings, she had heard so much about.
Before her departure, Alayna made sure that everything was in order. Susan was given the second volume of the story and a copy of the third volume to copy again.
The third volume was supposed to be released in another month as well and at the same time, another batch of the first volume should be made and sold as well.
Claire’s restaurant finally opened and it received a lot of positive reviews which was a huge relief.
Before leaving she went to bid Selena goodbye as she didn’t want to just leave without telling her good friend. Selena prepared a farewell banquet for her and they all had fun.
Alayna and Olinda left at night through the teleportation circle and quickly arrived to the other side.
Olinda who didn’t feel as if something happened looked around and wondered why they were still in the study. But the more she looked the more she realized that the study had somehow changed and this study looked much bigger than the one she knew.
"Mom, are we already there?" with a shaky voice she asked.
Alayna smiled and patted the girl’s shoulders, "umm, we are home now. Let’s go out and meet your siblings."
At the same time, Elena who was busy watching a TV show sensed the spiritual fluctuations and looked upstairs, ’it can’t be that she returned again.’
As Alayna returned when she was not there, Elena wasn’t able to see her boss for a very long time now and it pissed her off greatly. She also missed the other, why couldn’t she be patient to just see her before leaving again?
Elena didn’t continue to sit down and decided to go and check with her own eyes as she didn’t want Alayna to disappear again.
When she arrived upstairs, Alayna and Olinda were coming out of the study and came face to face.
Alayna was thick skinned so she smiled as if there was nothing wrong when she saw Elena and happily said, "I have been away for just a short while and you dear are looking just wow."
Elena’s face flushed upon hearing this. Since when did Alayna became this …..?
"Hahaha, with such a wonderful boss like you, how can my life not change?"
Alayna nodded her head in recognition upon hearing that. Where else would they find such a good boss like her?
"I am glad to hear that. Its late, where are the kids?" Alayna asked as she looked towards the kids’ bedrooms.
"They went to sleep a while ago. Do you want me to wake them up?"
"There is no need," Alayna shook her head as she didn’t want to disturb them. they will just see each other in the morning.
"This is Olinda West, my eldest daughter," Alayna began the introductions, "and Oli this is Elena, my wonderful manager, someone you can learn a lot from."
Alayna was very satisfied with Elena and she knows that she wasn’t a normal girl. As someone with a system, she will be a damn fool if she keeps on thinking like that.
Olinda shyly looked at this beautiful older sister and said, "its nice to meet you, big sister Elena. Please take care of me."
Hearing such a sweet voice, Elena liked the other instantly. She had heard so much about this new daughter and she felt sorry for her.
"The pleasure is all mine. If there is anything that you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to find me."
Olinda nodded her head seriously, "I will do that."
"It’s late and I want to sleep. You guys can catch up tomorrow," Alayna said as she yawned.
After working so tirelessly for days, she was very tired and just wanted to have a goodnight sleep.
"Sure, lady boss. Have a good night."
Elena could see that Alayna was tired and she didn’t want to add any more trouble. Alayna took Olinda to the empty bedroom on the second floor and Olinda fell for it immediately.
"This will be your room from now on. Go to bed and do the exploration tomorrow. Goodnight," Alayna advised and closed the door.
Alayna was in no mood to surf the internet or do anything, so she went to her bedroom she had not slept in for a very long time. The room was very clean and she could tell that it was cleaned frequently.
She didn’t need to have another bath as she had already done that. She only found a fresh pair of pajamas and went to bed.
The next morning, the kids woke up and didn’t even suspect anything. But when they saw the big pot, they had a feeling that something was happening.
"Sister Elena, why are you cooking such a big pot? Don’t tell me that mom is coming?" Merita excitedly asked as she glanced around.
Neal raised his eyebrows in confusion as he looked around as well.
Elena wondered just what these kids ate for them to think very fast like this, "yes, and she is sleeping at the moment. so don’t disturb her."
Hearing this, the four eyes lit up and they all looked eagerly at Elena.
"Sister Elena, did you see our older sister? How does she look like?"
Merita was very curious about the other individual that she couldn’t wait until they wake up.
"Hahaha, you will see her when she wakes up. Do your chores and wait until I am done with breakfast."
Alayna woke up feeling very refreshed, took a bath and changed into some homey clothes before going to check on Olinda. The other kids should be awake already.
Olinda was awake and ready and she had been for a long time. She was simply very nervous to walk out of the door as she knows her mother and that sister Elena.
