Chapter 34 Valerie

• I sat gazing out of the tiny window in the maids’ quarters. I was bored out of my mind. I had changed out of my dress and was now donning the maid uniform. I was reluctant to go out since I wasn’t sure what my duties were anymore and it was getting late.
• I could understand why Mrs Thompson banned me from Victor’s room but still couldn’t understand why she would ban me from the kitchen. Could she possibly think that I could poison them? I would never have done that to them even if I was paid. She was like a mother to me. They were all like my family.
• I turned to look at my phone lying on the bed. I picked it up and opened the messaging app to check if I had missed any message, something I had been doing the past hours but there was none. Except for the message from Lavelle apologising for being a bad date last night, there was none from the man who I had given my virginity to last night. The man I loved and was now insulted because of him.
