Chapter 18: More Machinations
"Daisy! Where are you?" called Emily, wandering through the servant’s quarters of the Clarke estate.
"Something the matter, mistress Emily?" asked Michael Eddington, Daisy’s father.
"Where is that dumb bimbo? I need her to do my chores!" snapped Emily.
"She is at young master Aaron’s house," said Michael.
Emily’s face flushed with anger. "Again? I told that dumb bitch to never see that trash again!" she shouted.
"She is my daughter, mistress Emily. I won’t have you calling her names like that," said Michael firmly.
Emily’s face flushed with rage. "Did you just backtalk me you limey butler?" she shrieked.
She whipped out her phone and dialed her mother’s number. "Mom, your butler here just insulted and cornered me! Help me!" she screamed into the phone.
Color drained from Michael’s face. He slowly backed away from Emily, who was now hitting herself to induce tears.
"What’s going on here?" demanded Sarah Clarke, entering the servant’s quarters.
"Mommy! Michael insulted me and cornered me!" wailed Emily, throwing herself into her mother’s arms.
