Chapter 60
Mohandia and her group were shocked by my boldness. They didn’t expect me to speak with such authority. The real surprise came when I stepped forward, looked Mohandia directly in the eyes, and made it clear that I wasn’t backing down.
Mohandia remained silent for a moment, trying to muster the courage to challenge me again. But it was obvious—she realized I wasn’t bluffing.
"I’ll say this once, and it won’t be repeated," I said, my voice firm and unwavering. "In the next fifteen minutes, if your portion isn’t done, you’ll have yourselves to blame for your behavior!" I gave them all a hard, angry look before turning and walking away to check the other portions.
As I walked off, I could feel the fear in the air. Mohandia tried to stand tall, but I could tell my words had shaken her. Her eyes flickered with uncertainty. The rage on my face was enough to keep both Liza and Kaitlyn from even speaking to me. They could sense that I wasn’t in the mood for conversation.
The morning work went on, and the time to inspect the completed tasks arrived. Just as I was about to begin my inspection, I noticed Ma’am Elena and the chief maidservant Morgana approaching. I immediately stopped in my tracks. The presence of the two most powerful women in the night walker pack made the air thick with tension.
We all bowed our heads in respect, especially for Ma’am Elena. Her authority was undeniable.
"Kimberly, carry on with what you were doing. We’re not here to interrupt," Ma’am Elena said, her voice calm but commanding, accompanied by a gentle smile.
I was caught off guard by her words. I had expected them to take over, but instead, they were giving me full control. Nervousness crept over me. Could I really do this under their watchful eyes? My hands felt shaky, but I took a deep breath and reminded myself, *You’ve got this. Stay calm and make it work.*
I moved forward, starting the inspection. Most of the groups had worked well. As I moved from one portion to another, I kept my composure, even though I could feel Ma’am Elena and Morgana watching my every move.
