Chapter 14

• Mrs. Anna seemed eager to have a conversation. But just as they were about to talk, Mr. Anderson's urgent call interrupted the moment. He quickly answered the call, saying, "I'm coming," before hanging up abruptly. Turning to me, he explained that he had an urgent meeting and gave his mother a peck on the head before leaving.
• Feeling a mix of surprise and disappointment, I wanted to make my exit. However, Mrs. Anna, clearly agitated, grabbed my hand tightly, preventing me from leaving. With a stern tone, she warned me to stay away from her son, emphasizing that I was just an ordinary maid. Her words stung, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of rejection.
• Feeling sad and defeated after the encounter with Mrs anna, I retreated to my room and sank into a chair. But my moment of solitude was abruptly interrupted by Ella barging in, demanding that I fetch her cream from the mall. Despite the late hour and the pouring rain, she showed no concern for my well-being.
