Suddenly Brielle and Jimena started laughing at something they were saying, and they pulled me out of my thoughts. I stirred in my seat, annoyed. I wanted to leave there. I was worried that the lie we had told them might be revealed. We shouldn't have any trucks with Jimena and Alma. Like with no one else on this boat.
We had to keep the required distance from everyone to keep our secret safe.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Jimena jumped out of her chair.
"What is it?" Brielle asked.
"We have to take food to the captain. The time for his meal has come."
My stomach tightened at the sound of the captain.
"I prepare a tray for him and Alma takes it to his cabin." as she was speaking, she put the tray on the bench and started to fill it. I watched her adopting an indifferent look. I hoped it was.
She placed a large plate full of the boiled beef and vegetables the same we had eaten too, two small jugs, one with water and the other with wine - a glass and cutlery.
