Mimi intentionally decided to go to work late today knowing that Victor would be in bed as usual. She knew about the party last night since that Marcel had invited her over.
But she declined his offer knowing the tense relationship between her and Victor. Knowing his kind of personality, Mimi was sure that he would try to exact vengeance on her but she was not scared. Moreover, she got Marcel on her side.
If she doesn't learn faster, she would put the whole of the blame on him and Marcel must know of his cousin's tendencies. In one word, she was covered.
She had already dressed up to leave and made it downstairs only for her mother to appear in her way suddenly, startling her.
"Mother!" She exclaimed, trying to calm her racing heart.
"Sorry about that, I was just trying to be done with it before you left," She said.
