The Bitter Truth

Chapter Seventeen

Abby’s p o v

I woke up this morning as early as 7 am, I wanted to prepare breakfast for Leo, and he was still fast asleep, he slept like a baby, so I didn’t want to disturb him. I went into the kitchen, some other maids were cleaning “Good morning ma” they all greeted after seeing me. “Good morning. And please, call me Abby” I said to them, and they all nodded their heads. “Where’s Mary?” I asked one of them. “She’s outside giving orders to the gardener” she replied, and I nodded.

I was frying the eggs when Mary entered the kitchen “Good morning” she greeted. “Oh, good morning Mary” I greeted back. “So you cook” she said. “Yes I do, I wanted to prepare breakfast for Leo, hope you don’t mind?” I asked. “No, no, no, feel free” she said, “What can I help you with?” she asked coming close to where I was. “Elm, you can help me with the sausage” I said pointing at the sausage on the kitchen table. She then nodded and went to the side of the kitchen table.
