FLASHBACK - Master--r?? Who?

That evening Kate's subordinate came and delivered a frame and a photo looking exactly like the original one. He had also ensured that he did now leave his or anyone else's fingerprints on either of them. After delivering the items, he went back to continue with his work.

Kate looked at the new photo frame with her and Susie's photo in her, which she had recreated. She put it by her bedside and stared at it for a while. Then she looked at the original photo frame. She kept it near the corner of the table near her bed. She then kept an alarm clock between the two frames and set an alarm for the next minute and laid down on the bed. After a minute passed, her alarm went off. She turned towards the side to shut it down and purposely bumped her hand to the original photo frame. Since it was at the corner, it was already not very stable; with just a little push it immediately fell on the floor and broke. The glass was shattered, and the wooden part had a bit of a dent. Kate looked towards her floor and then stepped on the glass. The glass shards immediately dug into her feet, making them bleed. Kate controlled herself from not shouting or screaming even though her eyes were a bit red already.

On the other side, Nancy, a newly hired maid, by Kate, was in the kitchen preparing dinner when she heard something falling. Though it seemed very faint, she still decided to check on Kate, just to be sure. As she entered her room, she immediately saw Kate on the shattered glass. She immediately ran towards her.

"Madam! Your feet are bleeding!!! Madam, please sit on the bed! I'll get some first aid and then clean this up. Please sit!"

Kate just nodded and obediently sat on her bed with her leg folded. Nancy ran outside and brought a first aid kit. She was a professional. She knew everything…..how to cook and clean. Apart from that she had just graduated from a nursing hospital as well, so she knew how to give first aids pretty properly, and also she was also a black belt in mixed martial arts. She was a gem. And the fact that Kate was able to find her surprised her even more. If she was so talented why wasn't she applying as a body guard instead of a maid, that too at her house?

Using the tweezers and a torch she quickly and neatly pulled out the little pieces of glass from her feet. Then she applied an ointment and bandaged her feet. Then she got up and then brought a broom and pan and cleared the left overs of the photo frame. She looked at the photo and silently kept it on the bedside table.

"Madam, how did it break?"

Nancy waited for a moment. Kate replied.

"I was sleeping and my alarm went off. I extended my arm to switch it off but accidentally knocked the frame. In a daze, I stood up and you know what happened then."

"Madam, you need to be careful!! If master-- I mean, if something happened to you what will we do?" Nancy immediately started looking towards the ground, a bit guiltily. She suddenly got too flustered and said something stupid....
