Tugging at my sleeves , Joan pleaded , “ Linda , please do n’t ask Mrs. _ _ _ _ _ Morals because she h
ad told me not to tell anyone . _ _ If you clarify with her , she will surely think that I cheated on her and she will thinkin me differently ” . _ _
Obviously , I would not ask my mother – in – law about this ,
so I acted with all understanding and said , ” You ‘ re right , I did not give it much
thought . But if I do nothing , wo n’t you feel deeply wronged by the accusations ? _”
“ I can handle it . _ It ‘s nothing ” , said the p * ta taking advantage of the situation .
“ Joana , how kind of you ! ” After praising her , I left her room . _ _
As soon as I left Joana ‘s room , I saw Vitória looking around , standing at the kitchen door .
When Victoria saw me , she immediately rushed forward and dragged me to her room . _ “ Linda , I ha
ve something to tell you ” . This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“ What is it ? ” Amazed by Victoria ‘s attitude , I thought : Is she just silly or does she have other motive
s ? Doesn’t she know it ‘s not the right time to talk now ?
“ It ‘s about my salary . ” Hearing this , I got the impression that Victoria had decided to confess to me .
However , I was still confused . _ Considering that things were bad between Victoria and my mother-in-
law , it would be difficult for her to continue working here .
If they were other people , they would probably complete a month of work and run
away to work somewhere else , taking their three months salary with them .
Clearly , Victoria did not need to
enlighten me on the salary issue , as she would risk losing everything if she did . “ What ‘s wrong ? ” Ac
ting confused , I asked deliberately .
“ Initially , Mrs. _ _ Morais agreed that my monthly salary would be four thousand … ” Vitória told me th
e whole truth about the salary issue .
“ Are you telling me that Mom agreed her salary would
be four thousand , but she asked me for twelve thousand ? ” Pretending to be shocked , I
exclaimed , “ Why would she do that ? I have to ask her about it ! _
“ Beautiful , wait ! I know why she did it ! _ Seeing me so agitated , Victoria reached out to take my han
ds . _
“ Do you know ? How would you know ? ”
“ Earlier , when we had our first date together , Mrs. _ Morais had mentioned that the people who need
ed extra care in the family were Joana and Sr. Morals . She even got to tell everyone ‘s preferences an
d likes , but she left youout ” . _
Hesitantly , Victoria took a quick look at my expression . Noticing the surprised look on my face , she
continued , “ I was confused , so I asked
about you . She told me that you are a very difficult person to deal with and
asked me to ignore her .completely . In this house ,
I only have to obey her orders , as well as Mr. Charles . At that moment , I imagined that you were
having a falling out with your mother-in-
law . After working here for some time I realized that there is nothing wrong with you . _, –
Quite the contrary , Mrs. _ _ Morals is the problem ! _ _ ”
“ What ‘s wrong with her ? _ _ ”
“ Mrs. _ Morais never saw you as her daughter- in-
law ! ” Shocked , I was really surprised as Victoria ‘s frank words pierced the heart .
what me
For a maid who had only been working for a few days , she already knew there was no place for me in
that house . I was a fool for believing my own lies for five years . How depressing !
Without wanting to reveal my sufferings in front of Vitória , I took
a deep breath and denied : “ Stop this nonsense ! My mother in law is very kind to me ! ”
“ Linda , you are so naive ! Some people are good at pretending to be kind ! Take my salary as an exa
mple , Mrs. _ Morais intended to profit from it . ”
Frankly , Victory was just stating the fact and
