Chapter 11: Jealousy (3)
Delilah bit her tongue and looked to Beatrice for help to get rid of the rude maid. Such a response to a guest deserved a smack to get the maid back in line.
"We can talk on the balcony while Annalise stays in here. I've brought her from her work so I would hate to send her back already. Besides, I am enjoying her company. It's a beautiful day, Delilah. We shouldn't stay inside," Beatrice said, going back onto the balcony.
If Rafael were to come outside to train, Beatrice would watch from the balcony to make sure he was not pushing himself too much.
Annalise was glad Beatrice had taken her side. It needed to be addressed right now that this guest did not have the authority to order her around. If Delilah wanted a maid who would listen to her every word, she should go to Mavis.
'That was not warranted,' Annalise thought when Delilah sent her a nasty look behind Beatrice's back.
Annalise sat back down in her chair, enjoying the moment to relax rather than thinking too much about Delilah's issues. She had long gotten used to the fact she would never easily get along with most women.
Delilah wanted the new maid gone. The young woman was rude and she did not like this interest Beatrice had in her. The one thing Delilah disliked about Beatrice was the fact she would welcome any young woman to court Rafael as long as her son got married in the end.
Delilah believed only a woman like herself with a good family background suited the infamous Rafael Callahan. She had not put so much effort into courting Rafael to let him be snatched up by someone else.
For now, Delilah was happy the maid would not be coming outside with Beatrice.
