Jane wanted to deny but then she couldn't help herself, she was tired of pretending to be fine when she was not, she missed her best friend, and now she was confused about what to do about how she felt for Christopher
She needed someone to talk to now
She gave up trying to control the tears and cried on Grace's shoulder, Grace took time and comforted her
"Hey Jane what's the problem?" she said
"I miss Cassie so much," she said amidst her tears
"Cassie, who's that?" she asked her
"My best friend that we left the orphanage together, I've looked for her everywhere, I miss her," she said
"Don't worry I will have someone look for her, she said
"Really?" she asked
"Yes I will hire a private investigator and we will find Cassie is that fine?" she asked
"Of course thank you so much, Miss Grace, thank you I will give anything to find Cassie" she thanked her as she hugged her
"Now dry your tears" she urged her
"Hmmm thank you I will when I get inside," she said
"Is that all?" Grace asked her bringing her face closer to hers
Jane wanted to deny there was no way she could tell her what had been going on between her brother and her, what if she freaked out
"Jane you can tell me anything, you know that" Grace assured her cause she seemed to be hiding something and it was eating her up
"I don't know if I should tell you," she said
"Why?" she asked curiously
"Cause it has to do with your brother," she said and quickly covered her mouth when she realized what she had just said ' Oh God she just gave herself away ' she thought
"My brother, is something wrong with him?" she asked worriedly and quickly stood to her feet
"No nothing is wrong," she said
"Then what is it, you are getting me worried," she said and was about to go into the house to check on Chris
"No really it's nothing like that, there's nothing wrong with him I'm just coming from his room just now" she assured her
Grace sat back "Then what is it Jane talk to me, you are hiding something from me," she said
Jane bit her lip she didn't know where to start she was so nervous and it was written all over her face
Grace was patient with her and waited till she calmed down
"Well you know that stuff that I told you about?" she said
"What stuff?" Grace was dying of curiosity but she tried not to show it
"About hmm, a guy saying that he likes me and is attracted to my body?" she said
"Hmm yeah I remember, so what about that?" she asked
Jane looked at her like a turkey begging for mercy, she didn't know how to complete the statement
"Wait no no don't tell me the guy is Christopher," she said
Jane nodded
"Is he trying to force you?" Grace said standing up, there was no way she was going to allow that to happen right under her nose irrespective that he was her brother
"No no of course not, he's not that kind of person" Jane shook her head defending him
"You don't have to defend him, I know he's your boss and you need your job but don't worry I can employ you, I'm going to his room now and giving him a piece of my mind," she said
"I'm serious Miss Grace how can it be forced when I like him too?" she said
"what! You feel the same way for him?" she asked astonished
Jane nodded
"Then why are you sad?" she asked her
"Well that's because I'm so confused, first he tells me he likes me and he can't keep his hand off me, but he refuses to define our relationship
And I think Mr Williams knows already" she said
"Really how come I'm just finding out?" she pouted her mouth
"Cause I thought you wouldn't like the idea of your brother having an affair with his maid, I thought you would freak out, that's why I couldn't tell you, I wanted to tell you" she explained
"It's fine I understand, and I'm not angry you both are adults and I shouldn't be telling you what to do with your lives, and because you are a maid doesn't make you less than a human being, you are a very sweet girl and I love you" she complimented her
"Thank you very much, Miss Grace," she said
"So what did my dad say?" she asked her and Jane narrated everything apart from their mom's part
"So what happened then?" she asked
"Well I told him and he said he doesn't want anyone to know, that was the way he sounded" she complained tears falling down her cheek
"And you don't want that?" Grace asked
Jane shook her head "I don't want to be used, I feel like he's just using me you know that kind of feeling, I don't want all this hide and seek, an affair that leads nowhere" she said
"You are in love with Chris," Grace said putting in her face
"What! No that's not true, I just hmm well I" Jane tried to come up with something but nothing came out of her mouth
"You see you can't even deny it, if you are not in love with him you won't be hurt by those things he's doing and saying," she said
"Really?" she asked
"Yes, you are" Grace confirmed it
"But he doesn't feel the same way, he just likes my body that's all," she said crying
"Hey Jane I'm sorry my brother is making you go through all these horrible emotions, I know how exactly it feels not to be loved back, but I think Dad is right though," she said
"About what?" she asked
"About him having feelings for you," she said
