“How was your first night with the baby?
Grace asked later in the morning when she came into the house. She had her greying her in a bun d she was weating her usual teater and al only difference was that there was a pair of glasses on her face,
She kissed Emilia on the forehead and stroked her cheeks lovingly before turning to Tami
Lori looked sleep deprived. Her eyes wete sunken and her hair looked greasy like she had not taken a bath, Grace felt pity for her, she must have not slept through the night.
she did good. She didn’t sleep but she did good.”
Lori added. She had brought the baby down the stairs and into the living room where her rockaroo swing was. She placed the baby in it and settled on the nearest.couch.
Lori didn’t know why she thought Grace was a live in housekeeper but apparently she won L. She regularly took shifts with Gingey-
Grace luckily took time out to explain the work dynamics of everyone that worked at the Calor household.
Gregory was the oldest worker in the house, he had been hired when Gabriel’s parents were still alive, Gabriell retained bim because he just couldn’t beat to
let him go
But he was the butler and he managed the allain of the house and merlooked the staff. Grace was his second in command, and she managed the allin in the house, she supervised the maid’s cleaning and gave them tasks, then there was the Gardener Antonio who came three times a week to tend to the garden, the chauffeur Time wha Lari had niet, he came in everyday but not times Mi Gabriel drove himself, so lie musily took Grair na her weekly grocery. nans, then there was felliey who worked with security, he was ames at least once a week to chuck in the security of the house, Dori had not seen him and then there was the maid lenny who cleaned and Sylvia who was also a said but mostly prepared their meals
She had made their breakfast.
“I hope you at least tried to get some rest?
Grace asked as she watched Emila nnd off on her rockroace it started moving
Lori nodded. It was a lie but she didnt want Grace to think she was somewhat incapable or she needed to help her out. She was new, she was getting the hang of it.
“I did. I don I sleep much at night anyways.
It was true, ever since labour, she had found it hard to sleep peacefully throughout the night, her nights were plagued with nightmares.
Lori relaxed on the sofa, convinced d that Emillia was finally falling asleep, Grace came to sit next to her
“So, tell me about you Loretta. I realise I dont know enough about you
Lori chuckled.
“There’s not much to know Crace.”
“I’d still like to know.”
Grace persisted.
“I know you were pregnant and you lost your baby, but you never seem to mention anything about the father, or your friends of your family”
Lon sat up straight, she supposed the question was going to come up sooner then Liter
“I don’t have any family. I’m an orphan
She answered and Grace sighed.
