Chapter 41: Mrs. Burns

Nicholas's limousine pulled up beside the curb of a brick walk-up apartment building in one of the older downtown neighborhoods of New Haven. He had never been to the residence that Mrs. Burns shared with her mother. Mrs. Burns had been with his family for decades and had always stayed with him. 

Nicholas had never asked where the home she provided her elderly mother was. Climbing out of the limousine he felt that he had been remiss as an employer and as someone that cared for Mrs. Burns. He didn't know offhand what he had been paying her, but it clearly wasn't enough. 

As Nick climbed from the car, he realized he was causing a spectacle showing up here like this. Passersby on the street were openly stopping to stare at the lavish car and him as he stood beside it. Nicholas realized that standing outside was likely the wrong answer and he should get on with his business here.
