Penny was lost most of the time as they returned to her house.
"You should not be so worried." Ana offered but Penny only looked at her sharply.
"Missus, I know that I look like a naive child. But I am not a fool. Why will you go to such lengths to help me without any motive? And that man.." he was your lover… the words were on the tip of his tongue but she refrained from using it. "It's strange. Why would a top designer help me in making a dress and ask me to live with him?" She felt like she was being sold.
"I will not do it. I was not able to refuse there. But I can not do it." she shook her head adamantly. Her friends were right. She would be sold one day and she would help her kidnappers in counting the money. She was a fool. Her deep breath made Ana worry. She knew it sounded strange. A strange woman came to your hand and a top designer offered so much time and concern to you.
