The battle of silence

When Scarlet returned to the real world, she went to the kitchen with every intention of finally starting on that pizza. It was late however, coming to nine o'clock and she was quite hungry. By this time, Justin too had probably had dinner with her parents. Did she still have to cook the pizza, she wondered.

She found Cecily in her kitchen with Gertrude and Anna. On the counter was a replacement of the ingredients that had been hurled during the fight.

What was she doing here, again? She had already stormed off after saying such harsh words.

"Leave us." Cecily told the maids.

"Yes my lady." Gertrude and Anna bowed before leaving.

Since the ingredients were already prepared, Scarlet washed her hands and set out to prepare the pizza. For a good ten minutes, she ignored the woman whose presence was causing her discomfort. If she had nothing to say, then she too would not be opening her mouth as well.
