(Author's POV)
"I am not someone whom you can buy with your money" Myra declared in the empty room. Her eyes were fierce as her words were filled with utmost resoluteness.
The piled by 'bribes' on the bed, given by the Everests family to her as 'gifts', were making her eyes sting. Nevertheless, she finished with her packing and made her way out of the room.
Nora, who was already waiting outside for her, was no longer crying. But, her eyes were puffy and bulky by now. Because of all that wailing and sobbing, her nose was a slight shade of red. She tried to hold Myra's hand, in order to lead her but the latter side stepped her move, did not let Nora touch her.
She simply raised her eyebrows, uttering, "Just, lead the way."
Nora's lips made a thin line but she refrained from saying anything, she obliged and without saying anything in return and0 started walking ahead of Myra, her head still lowered.
