Honey, we need to talk. I know who took my money and also my...

Watch. Your watch? I didn't know you have also lost your watch. Who took it?

I didn't lose it. Someone from this house stole it, and we have to do something about it.

But it had never happened before. Is that one of our children? Don't tell me...

No, it's not. I am sorry to tell you this, but the thief is Estella.

She took my money and the watch? What? Estella, the housekeeper? How is it possible?

Yes, I know. I know it's hard to believe, but it's the truth. She stole my money.

But are you sure she took your money? I mean, did you see her doing that?

No, I didn't, but Rick saw her taking my watch last week from my room.

What? I can't believe it. She has worked for us for over five years. How is that possible?

I know, but that happened. Rick told me he saw her going out from our room last week. It was on Tuesday. It was about 10:00 in the morning. I was at work, and you went shopping. Rick left his room after playing video games that day. Rick didn't have classes. Estella was leaving our room with a watch in her hands. Rick saw her, and she didn't notice. That watch cost a lot of money, and Estella was the only person who came into our room to clean.

Oh my God, I can't believe it. She seemed to be a good person. We trust her.

Well, not anymore. If she really stole the watch and my money, then she's nothing more than a thief, and we have to fire her. She can't work with us anymore. You know that.

Well, you're right. If she did something like that, then you are right. Don't worry. I am going to talk to her. I will demand that she return what she stole. And for all the time she has worked with us, I'm going to try to make her see reason. Maybe she has financial problems. Her son was sick recently. That's what she told me. So if she accepts her guilt and gives us back what she stole, then maybe we won't call the police.

Oh God, I wouldn't want her to go to jail. But if she's guilty, she has to go to jail.

You're right. I already called her. You know she doesn't work on Fridays, but I told her to come because we need her to clean something very urgently. It seems that she believed me because she told me that she was going to come as fast as she could. So she should surely be arriving in a few minutes. It's a shame, but we have to do the right thing.

I know. I'm just sad. I will go to the bedroom. Can you...

Sure, don't worry. I will handle it. I will talk to her. You just go to the bedroom. Oh, that must be her. Estella, come here, please, to the living room.

Estella, I'm glad you're here. I need to talk to you about something important.

Good morning, sir. Sorry I arrived late. I was helping my son with some homework when I got your call. But tell me, what do you want me to clean today?

Not today, Estella. I didn't call you to clean something today. I need to talk to you.

Oh, okay, sure, sir. Um, tell me, what is it?

Estella, you have been working here for 5 years. We trust you. You have done a great job. You are here all day, four times a week. You know where everything is, right?

That's right, sir. But, um, what do you mean? I don't understand.

I'm going to be clear and direct with you, Estella. What you have done is unforgivable.

What I did? What do you mean, sir? I don't understand. Did I do anything wrong?

I think you know what I mean, Estella. I never believed you were capable of doing something like that. I must say that I am very disappointed with what you did. I'm sorry, but I must fire you.

What? Why? I don't understand. What did I do?
