"I have to go now."
"Hey, whose voice is that?"
"Someone called me. I have to go!"
I hastily ended my call with Alscot and tucked my phone under my pillow. Outside there Rachel kept knocking on the door and made me panic even more.
"Jayde, are you in there?"
"Yes, wait a moment."
I ruffled my hair, pretended that I had just woken up and walked toward the door with unsteady steps.
Hi, sorry I was sleeping. I yawned widely while pressing my head against the door frame like someone who had just been forced to get up.
"Oh, sorry. I just wanted to tell you that dinner is ready. The other maids have gathered at the dining table."
"I'll be there after washing my face."
"Erm... I'll set aside some food for you."
"Thank you very much. You shouldn't bother."
"I'm glad I could do it. Umm… see you at the dinner table."
"Yeah, see you at the dinner table."
