Although her eyesight was not good, Emmeline could tell that there was steak and pasta on the tray.
She took another look, there were two plates, two huge plates.
There were also two pairs of cutlery next to the plates, plus the salt and pepper grinders.
“Kendra,” Emmeline said coldly, “Where are you going with your steak?”
Kendra looked up and saw Emmeline on the stairs, she was stunned.
Why did Ms. Louise get up so early?
She was just thinking of sending Luca and Abel their food as soon as possible before she woke up.
She did not know if Abel woke up or not, but to be on the safe side, she cooked two servings of steak and pasta.
They were two big servings, both in huge plates.
Because she was afraid that they would not know when the next meal would be delivered after eating this meal.
“Ms… Ms. Louise,” Kendra hesitated to greet her.
“Tell me, why are you sneaking around with two big plates of food?”
“I… I am about to serve it to the dining room!” Kendra hurriedly said, “I reckon that Mr. Waylon and Mr. Benjamin are coming soon.”
“However, the dining room is not here,” Emmeline frowned, “Are you sleepwalking early in the morning?” “…Oh no! I just want to hear if Quincy is crying upstairs.”
After speaking, Kendra turned around with the tray in hand, and was about to put the two plates on the dining table.
“Stop!” Emmeline walked down the steps, “Kendra, what are you hiding from me?”
Kendra turned around slowly, her cheeks were a little red, “Ms. Louise, I am not!”
“Still say no?” Emmeline stared deeply, “Your face is blushing, you really bullied me and think that I cannot see clearly?”
“Ms. Louise…” Kendra swallowed, not knowing what to say.
“Where exactly are you going with the food?” Emmeline said, “And last night, you obviously did not come out of the kitchen with the tray, right?”
Kendra, “…”
Emmeline came over and stood where Kendra was standing just now.
At that spot, one could go upstairs, or one could turn to the basement after the stairs.
So…
Emmeline walked towards the basement.
“Ms. Louise,” Kendra panicked, “I really did not…”
Emmeline ignored her and walked quickly to the basement.
When she got to the door, she turned the lock on the doorknob.
The door was actually locked inside!
Emmeline’s heart tightened, was there someone in the basement?
