I laid low in the next few days and don’t even talk unless I am spoken to. Even then, I only respond with simple answers. Whenever Mike tries to make a conversation with me, I just tell him I need to do something or that I need to go somewhere.
Ms. Vera has rarely left the house without Mike, and even if she did, she comes home after a few hours, unlike before. She’s usually home from breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whenever she’s gone, Mike tries to make conversation with me, but I avoid him by saying that I need to do something or that I need to go somewhere.
Ms. Vera has started ignoring me. Whenever she needs to tell me something, she has Mike talk to me about it. This has started to annoy me since it made it difficult for me to speak to her about me leaving.
One day, I found Ms. Vera
