Rachel sneered at the phone. Then, swiping the screen, she navigated to her call logs, located Alice’s number, and blocked it.

The next day.
A loud bang reverberated across the archive as the door was slammed open.
“Rachel!” Alice bellowed, storming in the room in her high heels.
“Why didn’t you come to the hospital to see our father yesterday?” she screamed.
Abby was sorting out some materials for Rachel when the door was slammed open. Taken aback by the yell, she quickly hurried over and greeted the angry guest, “Hello, Miss Jenkins.”
Alice ignored her at first and looked around the archive. When she didn’t see Rachel, her expression darkened even further.
“Where’s Rachel?” she asked Abby.
“Miss Bennet went to deliver the documents. Do you mind telling me what you want Miss Bennet for, Miss Jenkins? I can pass on a message…”
“Clap!”
A sharp sound rang out as Alice slapped Abby across the face in rage.

The sudden strike forced Abby to turn her head sideways. The sting caused her pupils to dilate and water.
“Miss Jenkins, how could you…” she muttered in shock.
“What? You are just a lowly servant. Why can’t I slap you?” Alice asked with a sneer.
“You are such a traitor. Do you really think Rachel can protect you? Dream on! She can’t even protect herself.”
Alice cackled with a wicked grin. Ignoring her stinging cheek and watery eyes, Abby grabbed Alice’s hand and demanded, “What do you mean, Miss Jenkins? Why did you say Miss Bennet can’t protect herself?
Is something wrong with her?”
Alice’s face contorted in disgust, and she wrenched her hand away.
“Don’t touch me! You’re disgusting!”
Tears filled Abby’s eyes as she whimpered. Alice’s words seemed to imply that something terrible would-or already had-happened to Rachel, and she couldn’t bear the thought of that. Overcome with anxiety, she turned and ran out of the archive in search of Rachel.
Rachel was on her way to the archive, having just returned from delivering the documents. A silhouette in the distance caught her attention. She squinted her eyes and saw it was Abby running towards her.
“Abby? Why are you here?” she asked in surprise. As Abby struggled to catch her breath, Rachel noticed a crimson hand imprint on her cheek. She quickly walked over and asked seriously, “Who slapped you?”
“Miss Bennet, you’re fine! That’s great!” Abby exclaimed with bright, teary eyes. Seeing Rachel here, safe and sound, filled her with relief, and she no longer had the strength to hold back her tears.
“You’re fine? Why would Abby think I was not fine?
Was something going to happen to me?’
