Chapter 50
“ Because you put the salary issue on the table , Ms. _ Morais was unable to get his hands on the eight thousand . She was thinking of ways to get me out of here and get a new housekeeper who is willing to listen to her commands . ”
“ Victoria , are you telling me this just to expose my mother-in- law ‘s defects ? ” Since Vitória had told her everything , there was no point in me continuing to pretend .
“ Linda , the reason I ‘m telling you this is because I think you ‘re a good person . _ Another reason is because my family is going through difficulties and I really need this job , “ confessed Vitória .
“ Do n’t worry . I have no plans to fire you ,” – I promised her .
“ Linda , I knew you were a good person all along . _ _ However , Ms. _ _ _ Morales and Mrs. _ _ Branches are nothing like you . _ After today ‘s incident , I have a bad feeling they ‘ll keep thinking about _ways to kick me out of the house . If that happens , instead of listening to their one – sided statement , I hope you ‘ ll also hear my side of the story . And as for salary , to begin with , I ‘m not a greedy person , so I intend totake four thousand only when you issue the money . ”
No one would say no to money . If it were n’t for the fact that she was forced into this state , would Victoria be as honest with me ? Would she only take four thousand ?
The answer was obvious .
At that moment , I didn’t trust Vitória , on the contrary , I started to doubt her motives .
Why would she choose to tell me this now ?
For her to reveal the truth now , I felt that things were not as simple as they seemed .
I started to ask myself , was it so important for Vitória to work in our house ? _ Or was it because she had other motives ?
However , this was not something that could be resolved until today . Clearly Victoria and I were stuck in the same boat for now .
Vitória decided to confess to me because she didn’t want to leave . Likewise , I did n’t want her to leave now because , after all , her existence would piss Mom off . _
“ Do n’t worry , Victoria . As long as you do your job well and as long as I ‘m here , no one will fire you – there ! ”
Upon hearing my promise , Victoria calmed down and walked towards the kitchen . _
After our conversation , I went to the office . Sitting on the sofa in the office , Carlos read the newspaper . As soon as he saw me coming in , he dropped the paper and snarled , “ How can anyone not be the least bit ashamed ? ”
