Find Me In Your Labyrinth

Chapter 53

Simone’s eyes widened in surprise. “Why did you give her such a large sum of money?”

Bennett interjected, “We have been indebted to her for many years. She’s a young woman, and life hasn’t been easy for her. What’s the harm in giving her some extra money? You spend more than that on Carmella’s clothes every year.”

Simone looked away guiltily. “I’m just worried that she’ll waste the money and learn bad habits.”

“She didn’t waste it, nor did she learn any bad habits. Instead, she saved the money to buy you a birthday gift.” Bennett snorted, got up, and left.

Simone felt a bit uneasy and couldn’t tell why. She was just annoyed.
