Hearing that the chores weren't finished, Brinley's expression soured further.
"So, we're not eating today?"
Her head was already spinning from hunger. She had considered walking to the main road to have her driver take her to the hospital, but without any food, she doubted she'd make it without collapsing.
And now Sally was telling her she couldn't work anymore? Was she joking? They hadn't eaten all day. If the work wasn't done, they wouldn't get to eat.
"Miss, I'm over fifty years old!" Sally's voice was heavy with meaning.
"What can I do? Starla is deliberately torturing me!" Brinley snapped.
The accusation that Starla was torturing Brinley lit a fire in Sally's own heart. That's right. Starla was targeting Brinley, not her. So why was she being dragged into this mess?
Thinking of the humiliation she had endured over the past two days, Sally suddenly felt the urge to quit."If this continues, my old bones won't be able to take it."
She didn't explicitly say she was quitting, but the implication was clear.
Brinley stared at her, stunned. "You're leaving?"
"Miss, this battle between you and Starla has to end, and soon," Sally said firmly. "Either she goes to prison, or you surrender to her."
