Elena walked swiftly through the dimly lit corridors leading to the maids' quarters.
Her heart pounded in her chest, but her face remained unreadable.
She had no time to waste.
Inside one of the small rooms, Mohandria, Kaitlyn, and Lisa sat anxiously, waiting. The tension in the air was thick, each of them sensing that something was wrong.
Then, a knock on the door.
Mohandria jumped up and hurried to open it. The moment she saw Elena standing there, her breath caught.
The three ladies immediately bowed their heads slightly in greeting.
Elena didn't waste a second. "The three of you will follow me out now. We have something important to do."
Her voice was calm but urgent.
The three maids exchanged nervous glances.
"Ma'am Elena, please," Mohandria finally spoke, her tone careful. "May we know where we are going?"
Elena hesitated.
*I can't make the mistake of telling them here. Too many ears.* Elena thought.
