"Before I tell you, promise me two things, Mai," Kate said.
" What would I need to promise you, Ma'am?" Mai asked. She didn't suspect anything ill against her boss because she knew that Mrs. Woods was a good woman, and Mai would support her in every way possible especially if it was to get rid of that bitch.
"First, you need to keep this a secret," Kate said. "No matter what, you NEED to keep this a secret and don't let Erin know about this, or the plan will fail, that is a guarantee."
"Oh, that's easy Ma'am," Mai said.
"It won't be easy for you, Mai," Kate sighed. "I know that you're quite hot-headed, and I don't want you to say anything stupid when you're angry at Erin. So promise me."
"I promise, Ma'am!" Mai insisted. "I will keep my mouth shut in front of her, and I won't say anything to her!"
