In the following days after sending away everyone, remaining with just a few people working on the estate, Tapiwa was never idle.
Before she leaves for the Western region where she wants to attend an auction she was informed of before, she needed to make sure that the estate would operate functionally without her there.
After sending all the employees, Tapiwa had everything removed from the two workshops, which would remain closed until further notice and put everything in her manor underground rooms.
As for the embroidery workshop, she left everything there as the five ladies who remained, plus all the slaves that were working in other workshops would be working there.
Rather than keeping the slaves idle and receiving lessons from Tatenda, she decided to let them work. Otherwise, if they remain too idle, they might grow horns and try to act high and mighty to her again.
