"Curse this stress!" Charzo cursed under his breath. Continuing his work, a few minutes passed, and he was done cooking. Once everything was finished, Charzo headed to his room.
Stepping inside, he swiftly locked the door behind him.

Charzo grabbed his laptop and booted it up.
"Wow... this is going to be great, let's see which investments look promising. I'll buy some stocks and look to increase my profits," Charzo mumbled as he searched for potential investment opportunities.
At last, he found what he was looking for.
Charzo invested again, this time putting all his money into a company he believed in.

"Alright! Here's to prosperity," Charzo said with a hopeful smile.
He set to work on a new game on his laptop.
"For this game, I'll sell it as a limited edition. That way, I won't compromise my online business at the internet cafe," Charzo thought aloud.
Time flew by, and before he knew it, Charzo had created two online games.
Knock! Knock!
Knock! Knock!
"Hey! Why is the door locked?" called Clara.
"Oh, just a moment," Charzo responded, swiftly closing his laptop and storing it in the system.

"Unusual for you to lock the door, isn't it?" Clara questioned as she entered and flung herself onto the bed.
"I didn't want anyone barging in. How was work today? Tiring?" Charzo asked while starting to massage Clara's body.
"It was the usual, but I got paid today. Let's go out tonight, it's been a while since we've had a night out together," Clara suggested.
Charzo smiled, looking at his wife's face, reflecting on her shifting moods—sometimes kind, sometimes harsh, often complaining.
"But aren't you tired?"
"Just a short trip, and massage me first," Clara demanded. Charzo gladly obliged.
"Charzo! Charzo! Quick, make me some coffee!" bellowed Lena from beyond the door.
Charzo cast a glance at Clara, and they exchanged looks.
"Go ahead, I'll just take a shower," Clara said.
Charzo left the room. "What can I do for you, Mother-in-law?" he inquired.
"Are you deaf? I asked you to make coffee! Go, quickly!" Lena barked, her eyes wide with impatience.
Charzo went straight to the kitchen. On his way, he noticed a flood of guests, their origins unknown to him. Unperturbed, he boiled water and prepared the coffee.
Once ready, Charzo served the coffee to the guests in the living room, setting each cup down carefully.
Lena's demeanor shifted dramatically; once fierce like a tiger, she turned sweet like a rabbit in front of the guests.
"Isn't it just marvelous? Eko now has a title and a promotion; his salary must be immense, right? Oh, not like a certain someone just living off others," Lena implied with a rolling glance toward Charzo.
Charzo grabbed a tray and walked back into the kitchen.
"Just you wait, old woman. When you see my success, you'll be groveling at my feet. And don't expect any handouts from me," Charzo muttered sullenly to himself.
"Oh, it's such a shame. If only Eko had been my son-in-law, how wonderful that would be," Lena sighed wistfully.
