She used considerable force.
But the moment the plate was in her hand, she let her fingers go slack.
Crash!
The plate shattered on the floor.
Even Rowena was taken aback for a second.
The loud noise caught Gavin's attention in his study. He immediately came out. "What happened? What was that?"
Ann turned to Gavin, her eyes red and welling with tears. "Dad... Rowena... I'm so sorry. I'm so useless. I'm twenty-eight years old and I can't even wash a dish properly..."
The scene was perfectly staged to look as if Rowena had been bullying Ann.
Rowena looked at Ann, her expression unchanged, her voice still gentle. "It's alright, Ann. It was just a broken plate. Please don't cry. From now on, when the nanny isn't here, you can leave the dishes to me. You shouldn't try to do them. It's lucky you only broke a plate. What if you had cut your hand? I would have felt terrible."
With that, Rowena gently guided Ann out of the kitchen.
Her flawless performance instantly dispelled any suspicion Gavin might have had.
He recovered quickly, smiling. "As long as no one's hurt, that's all that matters. Rowena, you can just leave the dishes for the nanny. There's no need for you to wash them yourself."
Rowena smiled back. "It's just a few dishes, an easy task. I just didn't expect Ann to be so sweet and rush in here to help me."
Ann narrowed her eyes, a venomous look flashing within them. This Rowena was a truly masterful actress. But she just had to wait. Her and her little bastard's good days were numbered.
Gavin added, "Alright, I'm going back to my office. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay," Rowena nodded.
