"You're humiliating a decent woman for an employee."
Emiliano showed her the video.
When the woman saw Martina trembling as Patricia snatched the rabbit away, she didn't say another word.
She just sat down.
And wept.
Rosa, meanwhile, tried to quit.
She left her uniform folded on the maid's bed and apologized for "causing problems."
Emiliano found her in the kitchen.
"Rosa, you didn't cause anything."
She shook her head.
"Sir, I don't want them to think I took advantage of the girls' affection."
"Affection isn't stolen," he replied. "It's earned."
Rosa wept for the first time.
Daniela appeared in the doorway.
"Dad, if Rosa leaves, I want to leave too."
Martina lifted her rabbit.
"Me too."
Emiliano then understood the whole truth.
Rosa hadn't taken anyone's place.
She had only filled the void he had left.
That night, Emiliano didn't check emails.
He didn't answer calls.
He didn't close any deals.
