"Hey, what happened? You alright?"
"Javi, just help me, without anyone knowing, especially not Samuel. There will be time to talk later."
"Alright, but I need a plan so your husband doesn't suspect anything."
"I'll talk to Mitch, see if he can help us."
"Ili, Mitch works for Samuel."
"I trust him."
"Alright."
Ilenia struggled down the stairs, her body aching, her legs shaky from the pain of the previous night.
"Good morning, have you seen Mitch?"
"Ma'am, good morning, yes, he was washing the car. Do you need him? Shall I go get him?"
"Yes, please."
The maid went out and fetched Mitch. They returned together immediately.
"Mitch, we’re going for a run on the beach."
"Sure thing, ma'am. Ma'am, it would be better if you ate something before going out."
"Just coffee, please."
