Chapter 9 - Chloe Searches Maya's Private Bedroom While She Is Away
While Maya was giving Richard his afternoon physical therapy session in the private gymnasium, Chloe slipped into Maya’s quarters.
Chloe opened Maya’s wooden wardrobe, frantically searching through her personal luggage, clothing, and caregiving manual folders.
She pulled out a leather notebook, flipping through pages of handwritten medical observations regarding Richard’s leg reflexes.
Before Chloe could read the detailed entries, a cold voice echoed from the open doorway behind her.
“Looking for something specific in my private quarters, Mrs. Vance?” Maya asked, standing with her arms crossed over her chest.
Chloe spun around, her face flushing red with a mix of surprise and aristocratic outrage at being caught snooping.
“I am inspecting staff rooms for unauthorized personal items or unhygienic conditions,” Chloe lied smoothly, closing the notebook.
“If you ever touch my personal belongings again without my explicit permission, I will notify Eleanor immediately,” Maya stated firmly.

Chloe scoffed loudly, brushing past Maya with her nose in the air, but her hands were noticeably shaking with anxiety.
Maya checked her hidden medical bag beneath the floorboard, relieved to find the toxicology report remained completely undiscovered.
