If I hire you, it would technically be illegal.” Her heart pounded.

“But,” he continued, giving her a sharp look, “if you are willing, I will still hire you.” Her eyes widened.

“You will have to sign a document,” he explained, “stating that you knew your age and requested the job despite the law.

That way, if the authorities ever investigate, I will not be held responsible.” Nnenna blinked.

He was serious.

He was giving her a choice.

“Yes, of course!” Nnenna responded eagerly, nodding.

“Thank you so much, sir.” Seeing her enthusiasm, the head manager studied her for a moment.

She really needed this job, he could tell.

But why?

What was a girl like her doing here, desperate for work?

His suspicions deepened.

He had been almost certain of her identity from the moment he first looked up.

But now, watching her so determined to work a normal job, his curiosity only grew.

Still, he kept his thoughts to himself and asked instead, “Why do you need a job?” The question caught her off guard, but she didn’t let it show.

“To earn money, of course,” she answered smoothly.

But the head manager wasn’t convinced.

She had wrapped herself up with caps and face masks, trying to stay hidden.

But he wasn’t blind.

She had the same features, the same air, even if she was doing everything possible to suppress it.
