TAKEN INTEREST IN HER

The maid's eyes narrowed, and she looked around nervously. "Ma'am, what if she finds out, it could mean the end of me," she whispered.

Astrid smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, I will take care of you. Let's say indirectly you will be working for me, not Adams. And I promise you, I will make it worth your while."

The maid's eyes sparkled with curiosity, still in hesitation wondering if to agree to Astrid's proposal. 

Then Astrid pulled out her phone and handed it to the maid, "You can put your details in this, and you will never regret it." 

"Ma'am," But Astrid pushed in her phone, gesturing for her to type in her contact details.

She couldn't say no and did as Astrid had told her, Astrid smiled, saving the contact.

"Your name?" she asked, "Paige… My name is Paige," she said and Astrid saved it.

"By typing in your details, you are aware that you are committing to work with me." she goes down loudly and Astrid understands her reaction.
