A gentle warmth spread through Marguerite’s heart. Even though he wasn’t home right now, he was still thinking of her.
She was genuinely touched.
“Thank you, Wilma.”
“There’s no need to thank me, ma’am. Mr. Murphy made it very clear that while he’s away, I’m to take good care of you. I’ve never seen him put so much care into anyone before. I can tell—he really does care about you!”
“Mr. Murphy may seem a little cold on the outside, but he’s actually incredibly considerate and has always been kind to people.”
Wilma had always thought highly of him, and her praise for him was sincere.
Marguerite nodded. “Thank you, Wilma.”
“Oh, and Wilma, you don’t need to prepare dinner for me tonight. I have a friend who’s invited me out. He’s helped me out a lot lately, and I want to thank him properly.”
“Don’t worry, ma’am. If there’s anything you want to eat, just let me know. And you never have to stand on ceremony with me.”
Marguerite smiled. “Thank you. I’ll let you know if I need anything.”
Wilma nodded. “Alright, ma’am.”
Marguerite reached out to Luke. After all, he’d done her a huge favor—she couldn’t just let that go without showing her gratitude.
They agreed to meet at a restaurant in half an hour.
When Marguerite arrived, Luke was already waiting for her inside.
