Focused on her task, Flossie adamantly refused any assistance from the maid.
Sensing Benny's presence, the maid moved to greet him, but he gestured for her to remain silent before quietly
ushering her out of the kitchen.
The maid obeyed his instructions and left the room without a word.
Meanwhile, Flossie remained engrossed in her cooking, unaware of the maid's departure.

Benny spoke gently.
“Considering your recent health and my own busy schedule, I'll arrange for someone to look after you.
Don’t worry; they'll only be there to ensure your safety and won't disrupt your work.

However, she opted not to confront him about it.
