She then responded, "Don't bother about that. I'll find myself another maid!"

Brantley pondered a bit and then said, "I can take the school bus by myself. One of my classmates mentioned there's a bus stop nearby, so you don't need to bother with driving me to school every day."

Although it was a good thing for a boy to have a sense of independence, Elissa believed that Brantley was still too young to go out on his own. Besides, he didn't have a strong personality, so she was a bit apprehensive.

After thinking it over, she said, "I'll walk you to the bus stop for the next few days. Concerning the maid, I'll call the agency and tell them to find me a trustworthy person immediately."

Brantley nodded eagerly when he heard this.
