My parents died, so my older sister & I had to move away from our little house by the sea. I went to work in a house with some other women in it, she went somewhere else. I found out the address after many weeks, from one of the older women - I don't like her, she's cruel to me. I found my sister, but she looked so unhappy, I thought her work must be even harder than mine. Later, I found she escaped, I never saw her again. I did try to escape with her, but I fell & got caught. I was supposed to go to school, but they told me they wouldn't send me.
After several years of working as a maid, I got told I was to go to school after all. I had to work hard to catch up with the other girls. Later I was allowed to start work - it is hard work, but sometimes very glamourous. I must always maintain a professional front, & never show my feelings. I become very successful. After a few years, I, along with all my colleagues, am told that we are in great danger, and have to move away, and find different jobs and homes. I miss my friends, my old life.
One day, an old friend comes to see me. His business has collapsed, but he tells me of potential foreign investors, that I could help. I agree to try. However there is an incident, and a colleague (who has apparently always been jealous of me) finds out my secret, and tries to ruin my life. It doesn't work.
