“Bernadine’s coming today?” Ari asked barely looking up from the weekly paper. He disliked having his turf invaded by cleaning help and was instinctively antagonistic to all the fuss surrounding the intrusion.
“Yes ” Faigy replied. “At five.”
“But she’s almost a qualified nurse already. You told me she’s been getting offers for more hours of internship at the hospital. Why would she want to clean houses?”
“Because she makes almost twice as much money cleaning and it all goes straight into her pocket no deductions. And she needs the money.”
