Over the years, Jackie had grown to be more than just their housekeeper in Heather and Sam’s eyes. She was almost like family to them. Jackie didn’t just clean; she also cooked amazing meals and cared for their son with a mother’s touch. Heather always thought she knew Jackie’s kind and hardworking side really well.
Heather wasn’t blind. She knew that Sam’s friends often talked about how pretty Jackie was. And while she recognized Jackie’s attractiveness, her trust in Sam was unshakable. Heather believed that Sam had hired Jackie for her skills, not her looks. Any nice things he said about Jackie, Heather always thought, were just about her work, nothing more.
