Chapter 67: Gather the servants (2)
"Why were we called here?" Cara whispered to Annalise and Heidi when they joined her. She was pulled away from cleaning the windows over a sudden urgent message from other maids that Rafael wanted them to line up in the yard.
Heidi bit her nails, fearing that it had something to do with the maids down by the river since Rafael was there for a moment. Could it be that he saw something he did not like?
"I don’t think it is something we need to worry about," Annalise said even though she did not know why Rafael was gathering all the servants. He seemed just as annoyed with Aria as she was so she thought he would have dealt with Aria privately. Why did everyone else have to be here?
"What did I miss since one of you seems to know what is about to happen and the other is about to eat her hand?" Cara said, pulling Heidi’s hand away from her mouth.
"I was present when he told Aria to find Mavis and have her gather us, but I have no idea what he plans to do with us here," said Annalise.
"Maybe one of you got in trouble," Jonah’s rough voice startled the three. "Who was it that did something and now I am out of the kitchen? I left my pot on the flames."
"I don’t you should have done that. What if something catches fire?" Heidi asked.
Jonah folded his arms. "That’s why we need to get this over with fast or we’ll be running around for water to put out a fire. I hope it is none of you that is behind all of us called here," he said, peering down at Annalise.
Cara and Heidi joined Jonah in looking at Annalise.
