How dare I open the door?
Hilda is so scary. How dare I face her like this?
I stand there, pretending not to hear her.
Hilda knocks on the door, and her voice becomes even colder.
"Are you sure you won't open the door? Will you open it if I bring your son here?"
Earl?
I couldn't help but be frightened as she mentions Earl.
I'm afraid that Hilda will hurt Earl again.
Whether it's Frances or Earl, I can't let anything happen to them.
No matter how scared I am, I could only take a deep breath and open the door.
Hilda stands at the door and looks at me with a faint smile.
My heart is beating wildly.
Sweat breaks out from my palms.
After a long time, I calm myself down and whisper to Hilda, "What are you doing here?"
"It's not what 'I'm doing here'. I'm curious about what are you doing here?"
It's certain that Hilda doesn't find mere here by accident.
She must have known something when she comes.
I hope she doesn't know why I'm here.
Looking at her, I ask, "What do you think I'm here for?"
After saying that, I carefully observe her expression.
Although I already know Hilda's identity, what I'm most afraid of is alerting her.
If she knows that I know her identity, she might do something crazy.
Hilda snorts and says with a smile, "What else can it be? Frances, of course. Don't think that I don't
know that you've gone to the company to see him. You're really naïve. Do you think that he will make
up with you as long as you go to him? Don't you think that you shot him so ruthlessly? What kind of
man can still love a woman who wants to kill him?"
What she says really hurts me.
But I feel happy at the same time.
Fortunately, she doesn't know my true purpose. Thus, Frances and Earl are safe for the time being.
Since she believes that I've gone to see Frances because I still love him. It'll be the best that if she
keeps this wrong idea.
I showed a bitter smile at her and whisper with tears in my eyes, "I just want to see him. Isn't that
okay?"
Hilda smiles and snorts at me, "Whatever. You can just watch and can't change anything. Just wait and
see how intimate we are."
She's right.
What can I do?
Men change their minds faster than we can imagine.
Once he has loved me and doted on me, but now, he only has Hilda in his heart.
Otherwise, how can he not believe what I say but believe Hilda?
If it's not for love, I really can't find any other reasons.
"That's good. I'm going to work."
As I speak, I pass Hilda and walk outside.
It is noon now and people are so busy in the restaurant. When I run into the staff lounge, there are
already many customers.
I think that Hilda has left. I'm cleaning up the table when someone comes over and pats me on the
shoulder.
"The customers at that table are requiring your services."
Which table?
I look up and see Hilda's smiling face.
Customers first. If I still want to work here, I can only do my job obediently.
I walk up and suppress my deep hatred for Hilda. I ask with a smile, "Hello! Is there anything you
need?"
"Wait a moment."
Hilda smiles and whispers to me.
I have no choice but to stand there and wait.
After waiting for over ten minutes, Hilda looks at the door and says, "He's coming."
I turn around and follow her line of sight. My heart hurts.
