-Anything else? -murmured Alice, remembering that the last contact with him was when that man burst in.
-Did he say anything? -Giuliana looked at her anxiously.
-I don’t think so,” Alice said.
-Are you sure?
-Yes, I cleaned the window and then I left his office,” Alice said, hiding the close contact with him.
But Giuliana didn’t believe it all, because as demanding and serious as Kennedy was, how could he leave her alone if she didn’t do her job well?
But seeing her calm state, it seemed that nothing fatal had happened to her, so Giuliana didn’t bother her anymore, -Then, go to work.
-Okay.
When Alice returned with the works, Giuliana went to Kennedy’s office.
He looked at her curiously and coldly, as a wolf nails its prey. The shudder suddenly ran through her whole body.
-Did something happen? -Kennedy averted his gaze.
“He’s not mad!” thought Giuliana even more curiously.
-Well, about the cleaning…” he said in broken sentences.
-It’s over now,” Kennedy interrupted her in a calm tone.
His calmness prevented her from continuing with the questions, so she replied, “If it is over, then I have nothing more to say. Anyway, I apologize for the cleaning. I didn’t explain it well, and next time….
He listened to her patiently, but said nothing.
Seeing that he was silent, she said, -Then I won’t bother you any more.
As soon as she left his office, Kennedy stopped her, -Wait.
-Please take them with them,” he indicated the utensils on the floor.
“Did Alice leave them?” thought Giuliana, “But with the messes made here, isn’t Mr. Kennedy angry? Besides, he said it calmly, dammit! Is he still the Mr. Kennedy I know?”
As she could think of no better explanation for her peace of mind, Giuliana left with them.

While Alice was sorting through the documents.
At this moment, Giuliana approached her and asked her seriously, -Tell me, what is your relationship with Señor Kennedy?
She looked at her stunned thinking, “What happened? With a simple visit with him, he already discovered our relationship? Had he investigated me?”
Upset Alice, but she tried her best to remain calm, “With his position he won’t have access to investigate my past since Zain had fixed me up with it. So he won’t be able to know that I’m Kennedy’s wife.”
Thinking about it, Alice became calm and asked her curiously, -I don’t understand you, Giuliana, what do you mean?
Seeing her innocent face full of curiosity, Giuliana fell into doubts, “If you are not related to him, why did you help her so much?”
Suspicious, Giuliana asked her with a wink, -Don’t try to lie to me because I’m old enough for these things.
Alice wasn’t the novice either, knowing she wanted to get something valuable by taking advantage of her superior position, so she smiled, -Giuliana, I think you misunderstand me. If I had had any relationship with Mr. Kennedy, I wouldn’t have worked as a miserable maid here, besides, such a simple job, it wouldn’t be worthwhile for me to accumulate the experience.
“He is right,” thought Giuliana, “If I had any relation to him, I could ask him for a lighter, higher-ranking position.”
-But our Mr. Kennedy has extreme demands on cleanliness, anyone who didn’t do it right had fired her, with you he’s not even angry – Giuliana explained to her.
In fact, Alice also shared with her the same doubt about her attitude.
But Alice had to explain it to her well, -In fact, I don’t understand it either. Maybe today I’m in a good mood and I’m lucky.
It was the only reason she could explain, because luck was sometimes somewhat mysterious, and that was enough.
With her sincere attitude, Giuliana didn’t continue questioning her and went back to her business.
Sighed Alice deeply, “She doesn’t know anything yet.”
Then everything went on as normal, except for the coffees Giuliana served her one after another to her office.
“What happened to her coffee?” thought Alice.
-Giuliana, don’t you think Mr. Kennedy drinks too much coffee? -Alice said worriedly.
-Yes, I think so,” said Giuliana, “He usually drinks two or three cups a day, excessive doses are dangerous.
-She hasn’t stopped drinking coffee recently, I guess she doesn’t rest well these days,” said Giuliana.
