When I asked the nurse, I found out Jane had stepped out.
Shay was a bit worried, “Do you think Master would’ve given in to Josefina?”
Sydney shook her head, “Nah, your master’s way too proud to bow down to Josefina.”
Shay nodded in agreement, “Yeah, no way my master would stoop that low. She’s got too much pride.”
Just then, Jane walked back in. Shay, eager to help, jumped up, “Master, where’ve you been? If you need anything, just holler. You should take it easy.”
Jane sat down with a fierce expression, making Shay and Sydney wonder what had rattled her.
Sydney piped up, “Ms. Jane, did that troublemaker Josefina get under your skin again?”
Jane shot a glance at Sydney, mentally reminding herself to stay calm.
Sydney pushed on, “Why not just deal with Josefina once and for all?”
Jane quipped, “Why don’t you deal with her? You’re the one who can’t stand her, right?”
That shut Sydney up.
Jane was fuming but kept it together. She forced a smile, which almost sent Sydney scurrying.
Jane’s smile was anything but friendly. You could tell she was no pushover. With that smile, Sydney shifted a bit to the right.
Jane teased, “What? Scared of me?”
