I washed myself up after I had reached my room. I changed my clothes into a skirt and white shirt and braided my hair. I grabbed my purse and bag as it was almost the time of breakfast. I went downstairs and sat at the table with others already sitting there.
" When did you come last night?" my father asked me as Nanny served us food.
" I came back around midnight." I lied and stuffed my mouth with food. My father nodded his head.
" Won't you say something to her? It's so immoral for girls to come back late at night." my step-mother butted in. "Who would marry her if she ruins her name? It would be shameful for our family also." she said giving me a nasty look.
Before my father could say something I spoke, "What can I do? Mr. Wilson gave me a lot of work to do. I can't let them undone or else he will get angry and our reputation will be damaged." I said and sighed. I'm sorry Alex to use you as bait.
