The Arcadia Family
Sexy Woman
Bahasa Indonesia
Anya walks into a job interview with fifteen thousand rupiah to her name and walks out as personal assistant to Eris, Minister of Finance. The next afternoon she is standing in the corner of the Four Ladies' arisan, where four women who run Arcadia draw lots for twenty-four kilos of gold.
In a rented room at Wisma Derrida, Anya counts the last coins in an old milk tin and has to choose between the bus and breakfast. She can't work the Minister's espresso machine, and she doesn't pretend she can. That honesty is exactly why Eris hires her. Within a day she is at the Gold Mansion, watching the First Lady, the gold queen, and the country's most famous actress around a table of cakes and gold. When Imelda asks her to do her son's coursework, Anya says the one word nobody in that room says out loud. Cheating. From then on every door she opens hides a secret, every kindness comes with a price, and the woman who calls her a friend is counting more than smiles.
