Chapter 136
I suddenly felt sick to my stomach , even though I thought how happy it would make me to
see my mother – in – law ‘s face when she found out about
it . Was n’t she trying to protect her son ‘s mistress ? Would she react well if she found out her husband
didthe same ?
At this point , I regretted not having recorded everything I saw before with my cell
phone to show my mother – in – law and the
Carlos.
When I got home , my mother-in –
law and Joana were watching TV in the living room . Seeing that I was back , they . _ asked indifferentl
y : “ Why did you stay away so long ? _ _ ”
“ I just wanted to get some fresh air . _ ”
“ Linda , would you like some water ? _ _ Joan asked fondly . _ _
“ No , I ‘m not thirsty .”
When I was about to go back to my room , my mother -in-
law called me . “ Linda , have you seen Victoria ? ”
“ Not really . _ What ‘s going on ? ”
“ She ‘s been out emptying the trash too long . Why hasn’t she come back yet ? my mother – in-
law commented , looking annoyed .
“ Maybe she had something else to take care of . ” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“ Should n’t she tell me first ? She ca n’t just do what she
wants , can she ? Now I need her , but she ‘s nowhere to be found . ”
Ignoring my mother-in- law ‘s complaints , I returned to my room . Just as I
was undressed and ready to step into the shower , I heard my mother -in – law ‘s voice . “ What took
you so long ? ”
“ I met a friend down there , so we talked a little and forgot about the time ” , replied Vitória .
“ Please do your job properly as a maid . _ _ If everyone is like you , who will dare to hire
a maid again ? ” My mother-in-law seemed quite adamant .
“ Why are you being so difficult with her ? _ Housemaids are people too . _ They are not slaves . you c
a n’t
speak well with her ? ” My father-in- law ‘s voice sounded . I
think he came back from meeting his mistress , but I never thought he would speak for Victoria .
“ How does that make me a difficult person ? We pay her so
much , so she should be available twenty – four hours a day , my mother- in – law began to growl .
“ Are n’t you being difficult now ? Go ask around and see if anyone is as unreasonable as you are . Afte
r
all , Victoria was not hired by you . Linda and Carlos hired her to help them . _ Can you stop yelling at h
er _every day ? _ If you ‘re not happy , you might as well go back to your hometown .”
The last sentence was powerful and instantly shut up my mother-in-
law . I shook my head before heading to the bathroom . _ I felt thirsty after taking a shower , so I decide
d to get some water in the kitchen and bumped into Vitória , who smiledfor me . “ Beautiful , what would
you like to have ? ”
“ I ‘m just getting some water . ”
“ Let me help you . _ _ ”
I
didn’t reject her offer , so I started to sit down in a chair . Very quickly Victoria brought me a glass of wa
ter . _ I felt a little bad after seeing how dedicated she was . _ _ “ Victoria , please do n’t take it tothe pe
rsonal side what my mother-in – law said “ .
“ It’s normal for someone
who does this kind of work . I wo n’t take it personally ” , Victoria smiled as she said this .
“ That ‘s good to hear . When I was
about to leave after drinking my water , Victoria stopped me . “ Linda , you know what Mr. _ _ and Mrs.
_ _ Morals did when they left earlier today ? “
