Zayn/S1/Episode: 7
It's been a few days since that woman was sold at auction and I can't stop thinking about her.
She wasn't bought by one of the guys in charge of the auction like me. I wonder what the person who bought her is like?
"Make her your slave, make her your toy... It's up to you!" The auctioneer's words ring through my ears.
I feel totally miserable remembering those words.
I should have done something to help her, even if it would have been reckless.
"Anything can be sold as long as there's someone to buy it. That's what an auction is.
We're only the sponsors.
We don't have to think of the participants' circumstances," Zayn's words stick with me.
But I can't go up against them...
I know how terrible it felt to be put up for auction. I'm so frustrated with myself for only being able to watch helplessly.
"...I'm so pathetic...," I sigh.
"Natalie! Straighten out those sheets!" Lily gasps.
"Oh! Sorry!"
"What's going on? Lately all you've done is sigh."
"I've just got a lot on my mind. I'll be more careful."
"I'd be happy to give you advice if you're worried about something."
"No, it's all right. Thanks, though."
I can't talk about the auction to anyone.
"I'm done putting out fresh towels," I say.
"Let's move on to the next room, then," Lily smiles.
"Okay!"

Just as we're about to move onto the next room, Paul appears in the doorway.
"Good morning," I greet him.
"Good morning," Lily smiles greeting Paul as well.
"Morning. Did you do the final checks on room 1022, Natalie?" Paul asks, holding the guest room cleaning list in his hands.
"Yes. Um, was there something the matter?"
"There were paper bags and trash underneath the bed."
"What?! I'm so sorry!"
"Luckily I caught it before the next guest arrived, but... It's not like you to overlook something like that, Natalie," he frowns.
"Natalie, I knew something was the matter," Lily pouts. "If you don't feel well, you should rest."
"I was just careless. I promise I'll be more careful next time," I assure them.
"There were no problems with the other rooms. Finish up the rest, please," Paul smiles.
"Yes, sir!" I nod.
Paul continues checking the guest rooms, not scolding me once.
I'm letting this affect my work. I have to be more focused!
