"The boss lost all his family." Esther said in a sad tone.
Rory blinked her widened eyes several times. Her jaw dropped. After some few seconds she opened her mouth to say something but closed it again. She was lost for words. He lost all his family? How..? And then all the "W" questions followed.
What? Why? Where? Who? When? Which...
"Please don't mention it. Like ever?" Esther warned although she knew she would tell no one, but just in case, she needed to be on the safer side. Better late than sorry, she thought. She could already see how shaken Rory was after the news, and see could also see the platora of questions swirling in her big bright and now wide eyes.
"When?" was the first question that came out after she recovered from her shock.
"They were attacked and killed by some armed robbers." Esther breathed in a barely audible tone, and Rory was again shocked by the news.
