Fifty

Chapter 50

The maid who had been eavesdropping earlier on Avery and Derek’s conversation was breathing so hard by the time she got to the staff quarters. She knew definitely that they would try to find her but decided to act so normal as some of her fellow maids were already shooting a curious look in her direction.

She knew she was panting too hard so she smiled at them and began carrying out her duties like she normally did and at the same time tried to bring her breath back to its normal pace.

“The person must have heard,” Avery said to Derek looking somewhat scared that someone had heard their conversation.

They were both still standing looking at the broken vase.

“You are right. The vase didn't fall by itself,” Derek stated as he looked at where the vase once was.

“What if the person says something?” Avery asked nervously as beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She was nervous.

“We would need to find out now then,” Derek said and immediately called out to all the maids.
