“That's fine. Just make sure you remember,” Brad responded, agreeing without complaint.
Relief washed over the housekeeper as she realized that, with more people due htomorrow, any surprises

would have returned.
With the door quietly shut, she slipped away and turned her attention to tidying the living room.
