章 49: Interrogating the maid

As Alicia walked down the hallway to her bedroom, she heard someone call her name just before she took the last turn that led to her bedroom, and turned around to see Tyra, who still had a guilty look on her face. She guessed Tyra was here to apologize for how she ran away earlier today. She couldn't blame her for doing so. 

"I'm sorry for leaving the way I did."

"You don't have to feel bad. I'm okay," she assured Tyra when she noticed that Tyra was still avoiding eye contact with her. 

"Are you sure?" Tyra asked as she slowly raised her eyes to meet Alicia, and Alicia gave her a nod. 

"But you don't look too well. Are you sure everything is okay?" She asked, sounding worried.

Alicia smiled gently at her. "I just feel very tired and exhausted. I can assure you that this has nothing to do with your brother." 

"You should go in and rest. Curfew is starting soon." Tyra informed Alicia, who nodded and thanked her.
