Chapter 58: Little Task
Abigail wrapped her arms around herself as she paced back and forth in her room, her mind racing as she tried to make sense of everything.
Jamal.
Why had he been there? In the staff quarters of all places? No matter how much she tried to analyze and understand what was going on, nothing made sense.
As much as she wanted to believe that he was working for Ryan, the shock on his face earlier when he saw her, mirrored her own, and it told her otherwise.
If he was working for Ryan, he wouldn’t have looked so shocked to see her. His reaction had been too raw and real.
Was it possible that Jamal wasn’t Ryan’s spy? Was it possible that their meeting had been a coincidence? And if that was the case... then what was someone like him doing here as a driver?
She stopped pacing and ran a hand through her hair as she tried to recall her conversation with the cook earlier.
She had gone to the kitchen earlier that morning to assist the kitchen staff, and she had casually asked about the new driver.
The cook had said Mr. Bob told them his name was Pete. But none of the staff had actually met him yet because he had gone to bed before dinner and he had just resumed the previous day.
Pete.
But his name wasn’t Pete. His name was Jamal. Or did he lie to her about his name? She didn’t think so.
