CHAPTER 10

I took Lucia’s advice and life became a whole lot better for me. A month passed quickly and I was still stuck with the same list Agnia had given me when I first started.

The east wing, I dreaded going there every day but I had no choice. Turns out there were a lot of rooms that had been uncleaned for years and somehow, it was expected of me to clean them. In the last four weeks, Lucia had been changed twice. We didn’t talk much. Just a few words between us whenever we crossed paths.

“Fuck”

I groaned as my toe hit the edge of the bed. I cursed under my breath. I didn’t deserve this suffering at all. I dragged the bag of laundry out into the hallway and took the clean sheets inside to change the bedding and curtains. It was the last thing I had to do for the day and I could go for lunch and finally have some rest. I saw Lucia pack up and leave just as I heard voices. It was common for me to hear people talking here while I worked but it was very unusual for them to come to the rooms.
