Finances and Contracts

The night went by with nothing important happening. Veronica, Michael, and Tom talked through the next day multiple times.

When the sun rose over the east, they were already preparing breakfast in the overly-large kitchen.

At 7 am, Krista finally arrived in the kitchen, too. She looked over at the two of them already eating. For a moment she looked surprised, but then she laughed to herself self-deprecatingly and took her seat.

"How are you two always awake so early in the morning?" she asked, while taking eggs and bacon on her plate with a few pieces of toast.

"The better question is, why do you only wake up at 7 am? I thought maids were supposed to wake with the sun!"

Krista just rolled her eyes at Veronica's question. As she made the slight movement, she dropped her fork and was about to apologize for her inappropriate behavior.
