Chapter 61
The moment I heard Ma’am Elena’s last statement, I froze in shock, standing still for a moment.
*"She must like me,"* I thought to myself, my mind racing. *"I need to take full advantage of this, but I also need to stay alert. Mohandia won’t just lie low. She’ll come after me. I must find a way to put her in her place before she becomes a bigger problem."*
After gathering my thoughts, I continued walking into the building. As soon as I stepped inside, I saw Liza and Kaitlyn standing near my room, waiting for me. I wasn’t surprised by their presence. I had a feeling they’d be there.
They smiled as they walked towards me.
"We’ve been waiting for you!" Kaitlyn said with a cheerful smile. "We thought you might not come back soon."
"Sorry for keeping you waiting," I replied, smiling back. "I had to get some instructions from Ma’am Elena and the chief maidservant."
Liza’s expression turned serious. "Kimberly, we need to talk. Let’s go inside your room."
Her tone made me curious. I quickly unlocked the door, and we all entered. Once inside, we sat on the floor, and I focused my attention on Liza, waiting for her to speak.
"Kimberly," Liza began, her voice full of concern, "what’s really going on? Why are you challenging Mohandia and her group? We’ve told you how dangerous they are."
I could see the fear in her eyes. She was genuinely worried.
"Relax, Liza," I said softly, offering a reassuring smile. "I’m not trying to pick a fight with anyone, especially not Mohandia. I just need to put everyone on the same page. Don’t worry. Everything will work out, and soon we’ll all live together peacefully."
