The next day, the punished Selene ended up mopping the floor in her block using a mop. So she had to crawl in order to clean the floor using the cloth instead of a regular mop.
This work would be much more tiring than regular mopping, and all the prisoners there started mocking her.
As she passed in front of their cells, the prisoners deliberately threw trash on the floor to make it dirty again.
"Oops, looks like you left something in front of you!" one of the prisoners said with a laugh.
Selene couldn't help but sigh and continued her work until she reached the second floor. While she was looking down, one of the prisoners slapped her butt and she gasped in surprise.
"Ahahaha... Let's keep going, baby. Show us your sexy ass! Ahaha!" he laughed with the other prisoners in his cell.
She immediately threw her mop into the bucket and approached the man who had just touched her.
"Oh, you think it's funny and you think my ass looks sexy?" she asked.
"Yes, baby. Let me eat that fuckin ass!" he replied with a very perverted look on his face.
A smirk appeared on Selene's face, which everyone knew meant there would be casualties even if their lives could still be saved.
Suddenly, she grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him so that his head hit the iron bars in front of him.
THUD!!!
"FUCK!!!" he shouted in pain.
"It's loud, isn't it? Very interesting. One more time," Selene said.
Still grabbing him by the collar, she pushed him away and pulled him back so hard that he hit the bars several times.
The man's cellmate tried to save him, until he finally managed to pull his friend away from the bars.
They couldn't retaliate for what Selene did because they were locked in their cell.
"You psychopath!" shouted the prisoner, whose head was now injured with blood running down from his head to his chin.
She laughed, and shook her head. "Oh dear."
Having finished mopping the second floor, Selene went downstairs and approached the prison guards in block E to say that she had finished mopping.
One of the warders recognized Selene as the woman he had seen yesterday with Caelum. He gasped in surprise when he saw that she had just finished mopping, but was using a cloth instead of a mop stick.
"Did she just mop with a cloth? You must be crazy to ask her to do that!" the warden said to his two colleagues on duty.
"What's wrong with that? It's her punishment for returning late to her cell yesterday after lunch break," replied the other warden.
The warden who looked panicked was warden Rafael, and he was one of the wardens who witnessed their chief kissing Selene.
"Don't you know the news? That one prisoner is Chief Rothwell's favorite woman!" he said.
"C-Chief Rothwell's favorite woman?" they asked in shock and disbelief.
Because not a single female prisoner in Caelum's eight years in office had ever managed to melt the cold man's heart.
However, Warden Rafael explained that he himself had witnessed their chief kissing Selene. Not only him, but 5 other wardens also witnessed it right in the hallway leading to the exit of the prison grounds.
He even frantically explained what the situation was like yesterday, and that was why Selene ended up returning late to cell block E.
"Are you serious about what you're saying?" asked the two prison guards who still couldn't believe their colleague's story.
"You can just ask Roy and the others directly! They witnessed it with me," Rafael explained.
With a feeling of dread, the two warders turned to Selene who was standing in front of her cell and then went into her own room.
They gulped in fear, worried that Selene would report this to Caelum and the problem would be even bigger. Because they had made his favorite woman do something like that.
In her cell, Selene looked at her hands, which were red from tired and irritation from dipping her hands into the bucket of soapy water for mopping, which should not be exposed directly to the skin.
"My hands feel a bit itchy and sore," she muttered.
She had tried to wash her hands, but the burn from the soap was still there and she couldn't help but let it be.
At dinnertime, Selene queued up as usual while holding a metal tray in her hands. However, the itchiness from the soap was still felt on her hands that night.
She tried to wipe her hands, as she might get hurt if she scratched them.
Even while eating, she occasionally kept rubbing her hands. It felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do. She knew that the warden would not let her go to the medical room just because of a minor injury on her hand.
"What can I do, I hope it gets better tomorrow and doesn't itch or sting anymore," she muttered.
While she was eating, one of the blond warders who turned out to be Ronald walked up to her. He noticed that Selene kept rubbing her hands, making him feel curious and immediately approached her.
"Are you okay? I've seen you rubbing your hands, do they hurt?" he asked, not knowing that Selene had been punished for mopping the floor this afternoon.
Because Ronald asked nicely, especially since they had become friends after yesterday's conversation. She finally told him that her hands felt so burn and sore from mopping.
Ronald finally examined Selene's hand, and indeed it appeared that her hand had a red spot due to the irritation.
"Oh right! Your hands are quite badly irritated. You'd better get it treated right away," he said.
Since Ronald was one of the guards, he was left to take Selene to the medical room to look for medicine that could cure the irritation.
They left the canteen through a long hallway until they reached the medical room.
"Sit down, I'll find some cold cream for your hand," the man said as he opened the medicine cabinet and searched for a cold cream that could help the irritation on her hand.
Selene nodded her head, then sat on the chair while waiting for Ronald to find the cold cream.
After he found it, he helped Selene to apply it on her hand. Her face looked focused as she applied the cream to the red spots on her hands.
"Feeling better now?"
"Yes, it feels better than before. You really are a caring warden. I don't know what my hands would have been like if you hadn't helped me," she said.
He laughed, saying he was only helping what he could do. Selene thanked him, and continued to watch Ronald apply the cream.
However, they did not notice through the slightly open doorway of the medical room, a tall man watching the two of them from outside the room with his piercing brown eyes. Staring straight at Selene.
