Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Yvette asked. “Want some?”

Frankie nodded enthusiastically, and Bruce let out an awkward chuckle..

Emmett thought. Dignity? What’s that? Not important, as long as I can get some food

Chris lowered his head and took a bite of the compressed biscuits. 1le thought it tasted good. He’d eaten bugs on military campaigns before; compressed biscuits were good enough. Everso, he kept staring at the steak sandwich Yvette was holding, he involuntarily swallowed.

Seeing their expressions, Yvette was amused.

She chuckled, and she gave a mischievous smirk. “Wait,” she said, then got up and headed for the cave’s entrance.

The others, bewildered, wanted to stop her, but by the time Yvette had already vanished into the night.

They had no clue what Yvette was up to in the dark. Although they were aware of her capabilities, they couldn’t help but

worry.

Yvette had told them to wait, so Emmett, Bruce, Frankie, and Chris exchanged uneasy glances, not daring to move.

In the past few days, whatever Yvette said was like the law to them. They had gotten used to following her instructions, so when she told them to wait, they had no choice but to obey.

Frankie stood up, dusting off his clothes, his face etched with concern. “Where did Ms. Zeller run off to? It’s been ten minutes. Let’s go check on her.”

Bruce looked worried too, fearing something might have happened to Yvette.

He wanted to go out and look for her, but Yvette had told them to wait. If they left and she came back, what would happen then?

Chris was getting anxious too. “Let’s go, we’ve waited enough, let’s go find Yvette.”

Emmett’s expression darkened as he took in the restless group, and he said in a comforting tone, “Let’s wait a little longer. Yvette’s reliable. None of us could match her, and don’t forget that she survived alone in the rainforest at the age of twelve for three months. If she told us to wait, then we wait”
