Chapter 30 The night before, Tara had strategized to subtly raise her hand when Terence was around to avoid being selected. She recalled how Terence had chosen her last time even though she had not volunteered. Observing that Terence seemed to prefer housekeepers who did not try too hard, Tara decided to act differently this time. However, Gemma showed up instead of Terence. Tara did not know Gemma well, and she was unsure of the criteria Gemma used to select participants.

What would happen if she showed too much eagerness and Gemma picked her? Gemma's gaze settled on Stella, who lowered her head in shame. The housekeepers, both new and experienced, looked at Gemma with hopeful eyes. Stella, who had traveled with them the previous year, was eager to go on the trip again. Only Tara remained still, looking like a nervous student hoping not to be called upon, her eyes fixed on the ground. Gemma almost wanted to chuckle at the scene.

She couldn't tell if Tara truly wanted to go or not. At least Gemma hadn't received any recent complaints about Tara, so maybe Tara had turned over a new leaf. "Hailey, you will go with them," Gemma declared. Hailey tried to contain her excitement, fearing Gemma might change her mind. As Gemma walked toward Tara, Tara did not dare to move. Eventually, Gemma stopped in front of Betty. "Your name's Betty, right? You were the one who won the bonus last time," Gemma said.

Betty nodded quickly, anticipation shining in her eyes. "You'll take the other spot," Gemma informed her. "Thank you, Gemma," Betty replied, delighted. Traveling abroad with the boy band members, riding a private jet, and having personal security guaranteed were some of the fantastic perks of being a housekeeper in the villa. Before leaving, Gemma gave Tara one last glance. Tara had not budged. It seemed impossible for her to react. "Alright, it's settled," Gemma announced.

Tara let out a subtle sigh of relief as Gemma turned to leave. However, as Gemma looked back at Hailey, she remembered how Hailey had mistreated Betty not long ago. With a sudden change of heart, Gemma decided to replace Hailey with Tara. Hailey was furious. "You picked me first. Why are you changing your mind now?" she demanded, feeling indignant and confused. Gemma calmly explained to Hailey the reasons for her decision, causing Hailey's anger to deflate.

Realizing she had no one to blame but herself, Hailey fell silent, though she felt compelled to express her thoughts. In the end, Stella always got to travel abroad with the male leads. Wherever the male actors went, she followed, while the other female housekeepers did not have the chance to refuse the opportunity.
