Viola stomped down the stairs, seething with anger. Dealing with Cass seemed like an insurmountable task. She needed him to be reviled so he would have no other option but to come back.
Yesterday, Viola had lost yet another maid, and all the agencies refused to send her any help. Word had spread about her strict demeanor.
