Fired (3)
Aria wished she had paid attention to who was coming into the dining room so she could have stopped talking when Rafael showed up. She was in a tight spot now and Rafael standing behind Annalise added to her losing her confidence.
What was she to say now? That she was going to say Annalise couldn't dismiss her though she had earned herself the title of the lady of the manor? How were they to suddenly go from working with Annalise to addressing her as a lady?
Aria would have expected Beatrice to know the type of person Annalise was. Beatrice wasn't so easily fooled by the women who walked in here looking to gain Rafael's favour.
'And now the room is silent,' Annalise thought. Aria should have taken the chance she gave her to walk away.
"Speak," Rafael said, his voice low, but it was more terrifying than if he had yelled at Aria.
