Linda: You were not around when I tell this story. She wants to go back for reasons she didn't tell us honestly. One evening a few weeks back, she told me very seriously and with a sullen face that she had something to tell me, but she wanted to wait til Anna was asleep cos she didn't want to cry in front of her. I already knew she's up to no good.
When Anna went to bed, I asked her what she had to tell me. Then she cried and told me her hubby said on the phone in the afternoon that her son was hospitalised, his tummy was very bloated and doc said needed an operation. And her hubby told her if she wanted to see her son again, she better come home. So she said she wanted to go home. I half-believed her. I aske her to tell me what the doc said of her son, she said she didn't know, cos everything was through her hubby. I asked her to call her hubby now and requested for a copy of the medical report. She replied her phone card just ran out of value. Then I asked for my phone back. (This was such a smart thing to do though I didn't know it then). After that, she brought out another mobile phone! Told me her sis sent it to her and the parcel was delivered to our address! I asked how come she didn't tell me earlier? She said she forgot.
Anyway, I told her I have to discuss with my hubby and we will let her leave (hubby was out then).
My SIL asked to have the mobile from us. The next day, we kept getting incoming calls from a 852-xxx HK number. My SIL went to the agency and asked the philly maids there to interpret some of the smses. All the inbox and outbox were empty of course, but the sent folder were still intact. From one of the smses, we discovered it was a lie! There was an sms which she asked her hubby when he wanted her to return, and she would start the drama over here.
We decided to play along with her instead of exposing her. I told her we will let her leave, but because she's breaking her contract, we have some paper work to clear which will take time. Then she started aggravating her son's health situation in an attempt to speed up her going-home - he's got spots on his hands and the doc said he got leukemia. To which I told her if she could produce the medical report from the doctor, then the govt would let her leave immediately. That shut her up til now.
This is the story.
We suspect she might have another better lobang in HK (she's worked there for 3 yrs before), and now that she's saved sufficient money to pay for going there, she's thinking of a way out over here. Cos after I took back the mobile, I told her she could buy a phone card to call home. The HK incoming phones stopped when she went to make the calls from the public phone - we guessed she must have called the other party not to pick up or call the number again.
From then on, we never let her out of our sight. She's still been good to Anna although there were 2 occasions where I told her off for being careless with Anna now that she's leaving.
I think she's not a bad person, but she has her own agenda.
Wah super long post.
