I coughed awkwardly.
"Uh, I don't know if the deal we made still stands, but I did work on the farm the past two days and..."
Mildred didn't respond, as expected.
I scratched the back of my head.
"I will only be taking what we agreed upon! So..."
It fell silent.
For a few moments, I felt a little weird for talking to someone who couldn't even respond. Someone that probably didn't even hear me.
I cleared my throat.
"Um, anyways... sorry for taking the money from you while you're asleep."
With that, I stood up from the seat and opened the drawer I remembered seeing Mildred open before.
For a few moments, I was taken aback by the sight in front of me.
There was a pile of copper and silver coins. From what I could tell, there were more than a hundred of each.
...Wasn't this a lot of money?
If I remember correctly, Mildred said she didn't bother saving her money.
So how did she have so much?
