Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 926

Mira continued detailing the plan. "Rachel, your mission tomorrow is to stall Eleanor and keep her out as late as possible. Or better yet, book a room at a nearby hotel for the night. Don't worry about the house; Martha can hold down the fort. If there's no time to clean, just skip it for a couple of days. If Martha can't handle the cooking by herself, just call the Solflare Grand Hotel and have them cater. Ugh, I really need to find the time to hire another housekeeper." With so many people eating there now, the workload was too heavy for just the two of them.

"Rachel, when you have a moment, please hire someone else. I trust your judgment." Honestly, Mira had asked her to hire extra help ages ago, but Rachel had always been reluctant to spend the money.

Rachel smiled. "Alright, once this blows over, I'll find someone. Though honestly, the two of us manage just fine most days."

"Even if you can manage, we need a backup. The second something comes up, you're stretched too thin. If we hire someone else, you won't even have to do the manual labor on slower days. You can just manage them."

"Fine, fine, I'll do it," Rachel laughed.

"Tell Martha that you'll be out tomorrow, and she should just do what she can. And tell Mrs. Higgins to get up early so she can leave with me when I head to class."

The next morning, when Mira woke up, Rachel and Eleanor were already fully dressed and ready to go.

"You're up this early?" Typically, Mira, Owen, and their security team were out of bed by five. They would head downstairs for an hour or two of combat training, shower, eat breakfast, and then leave for their day.

Mira and Owen exchanged a look. Since Eleanor was already up, they decided to scrap their morning training due to the special circumstances. They would eat breakfast immediately and get Eleanor out of the house. The earlier, the better—what if Sebastian and Gwen showed up to ambush them at the crack of dawn?

Martha quickly served breakfast. Mira, Owen, and the guards sat down, but Eleanor and Rachel remained seated on the sofa.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Mira asked.

"We already did," Rachel smiled. "Eleanor woke me up at four."
