Aunt Bell had always been friendly and gentle in Eliza's impression, be it toward herself or the servants.
However, the familiar voice had a different feeling then.
Aunt Bell was standing up for her.
The servants all silenced, surprised to discover Aunt Bell overheard their conversation.
She didn't reprimand them too badly, only warning them to never say such things again before dispersing them.
The area then quieted down again.
Eliza stood outside for a while longer until she began to feel cold from the autumn breeze.
Shuddering, she took a deep breath and entered.
The voices were long gone, but they left a trace in her heart.
It was still early, and Tanner had yet to return.
Aunt Bell was cleaning the hall when she saw Eliza and quickly went up to her.
"Mrs. Deleon, you must be hungry. The kitchen is getting dinner ready. Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll get them to make it right away."
Eliza looked at her with gratitude.
Ms. Bell genuinely cared about her, be it right at her or behind.
Regardless of her motives, Eliza would never forget how sweet she was.
"It's okay, Aunt Bell. I've already eaten outside."
Eliza wasn't in the mood to eat, and her voice was weak.
Ms. Bell was stumped, couldn't help thinking, "If Mrs. Deleon had eaten, then when Mr. Deleon returns…"
He'd probably flip again.
"I'll go upstairs first, Aunt Bell."
Eliza smiled at her, but she looked rather pallid.
Her skinny figure disappeared at the stairs.
Ms. Bell couldn't help being skeptical. She'd accompany Mr. Deleon for dinner back when she was working. But why was she acting so unusual when she had just returned from her first day of work?
She didn't look like she was in good shape, even more so that she had eaten.
She then started mulling over it. Mrs. Deleon should've long returned, judging from when she got off work. And right then…
Two servants were gossiping about her in the hall.
Had she overheard their conversation?!
It was already seven then. In other words, she'd have been standing under the cold wind for over an hour!
This was bad!
Mrs. Deleon didn't look too good when she went up. Oh, how she hoped she wasn't catching a cold. Ms. Bell had intended to report the unpleasant incident to Mr. Deleon. Seeing that he'd return any time soon, she thought she'd have to do it even more so now.
The moment the two servants started gossiping about their masters, they had lost their rights to work here.
