Chương 123: From one branch to the other

Chapter - 123

Unlike any other day when Alex left early from work, he would go on a shopping spree, Alex today headed straight back to his home.

After reaching his home, with a heavy heart, Alex made his way straight toward his room, where he spent the rest of the day cooped up inside.

Later that day, in the evening, when Martha and George arrived home, they found the house unusually shrouded in darkness.

"Sometimes I feel like I am working for Mrs Flores. I never know when she is going to come," Martha said as she looked at their house. Lately, Mrs Flores has been neglecting her work at the Rutherfords. No one could guess when she would be there for work or would she be ever there. Despite being the employer, they were the ones managing their schedule on hers.

"But shouldn't Alex be back by now?" George asked as he looked at his watch. He did not wish to be stuck on Mrs Flores, "It's half-past eight."
