Being merely a maid tasked with childcare, my place was not to speak out.

Eventually, I overheard Andrew offer to drive Debra.

Initially, I was pleased, thinking Andrew had finally seen sense, but then I noticed Debra’s hesitant expression.

Anxious, I advocated for Andrew before she could decline.

Perhaps my diligent care of Abby had earned Debra’s trust, for when I interjected, though still slightly uneasy, she consented to let Andrew drive her.

Relieved, I smiled as I watched them depart from the manor.

My plan for revenge was surely on track.

Debra’s POV:

Andrew held the car door open for me, the perfect gentleman.

With a polite smile, I murmured softly, “Thank you.

“You’re welcome.

Where to?” he asked.

He was the picture of politeness and elegance.

Once I was buckled in, I gave him Caleb’s address.

With the address committed to memory, Andrew began to drive with careful attention.

Initially, I felt a twinge of nervousness.

I worried that Andrew might say something awkward, or that being alone with him could lead to uncomfortable silences.

However, Andrew’s quiet demeanor surprised me.

He was so unobtrusively silent, it was as if he wasn’t there.

Relieved, I let out a sigh.

But it soon struck me as odd.

Real friends wouldn’t feel strange about sharing a silent ride.

Unsure of what else to do, I grabbed a bottle of water from nearby and took a sip, trying to ease my discomfort.

As I took another sip of water out of sheer boredom, Andrew broke the silence.

He turned towards me and began, “The last time, the three of us were caught up in our own thoughts.

I don’t hold it against Caleb, and certainly not against you.

Feeling a bit awkward, I quickly replied, “It’s fine.

That’s all in the past.

“No,” Andrew countered firmly.

“I know it’s been on your mind, or you wouldn’t have moved out.

I just hope you can still see me as a friend.

As long as you don’t hold a grudge, I’m willing to apologize to Caleb again.

His words caught me off guard, and I choked on the water, coughing repeatedly.

Andrew, looking anxious, extended his hand to pat my back.
