The moment I heard Ma'am Elena's last statement, I froze in shock, standing still for a moment.
*"She must like me,"* I thought to myself, my mind racing. *"I need to take full advantage of this, but I also need to stay alert. Mohandia won't just lie low. She'll come after me. I must find a way to put her in her place before she becomes a bigger problem."*
After gathering my thoughts, I continued walking into the building. As soon as I stepped inside, I saw Liza and Kaitlyn standing near my room, waiting for me. I wasn't surprised by their presence. I had a feeling they'd be there.
They smiled as they walked towards me.
"We've been waiting for you!" Kaitlyn said with a cheerful smile. "We thought you might not come back soon."
"Sorry for keeping you waiting," I replied, smiling back. "I had to get some instructions from Ma'am Elena and the chief maidservant."
Liza's expression turned serious. "Kimberly, we need to talk. Let's go inside your room."
