Lay by the pool

After her call with her husband, Julia goes back to her mansion and heads straight to the pool. She sits down in one of the lounge chairs and stares off into the distance, lost in thought.

Her maid, Michelle, approaches her and asks if she needs anything. Julia jumps a little, surprised by her presence, and looks up at her.

Maria notices Julia's troubled expression and asks, "Is everything okay, Ma'am?"

Julia hesitates for a moment, unsure if she should confide in her maid about what just happened with the Headmaster. But then, she decides to take a chance and tells her everything.

Michelle listens patiently and then says, "It's okay, Madam. Your husband wouldn't care anyways. And besides, if you enjoy it, then why not keep doing it?"

Julia looks at her, surprised by her response. "Really? You don't think it's wrong?"

Michelle shakes her head. "No, you deserve to have some fun too. And if your husband isn't fulfilling your needs, then why not find someone who will?"

Julia thinks about Michelle's words for a moment and then nods slowly. "Maybe you're right. Maybe I should keep doing it."

Michelle smiles at her. "Just be careful, Mrs. Johnson. And if you need anything, don't hesitate to let me know."

Julia nods gratefully and watches as Michelle heads back into the house.
