Lara and Janice are the two who&#8217;ve noticed how odd Willamina is being&#8230; but could Willamina actually be a witch?<\/p>\n<p>As crazy as it sounds, brunette Lara and blonde Janice have noticed even crazier things the past couple of weeks. There&#8217;s the constant way Willamina is giving the both of them bizarrely intense stares from a distance away, seeming the mutter things with an almost evil grin. There&#8217;s the coincidence that since Willamina showed up, Janice gets a weird rash on her legs anytime she tries to wear pants or a long skirt. There&#8217;s the way the two men they work with, Carter and David, seemed oddly enamored by Willamina before seemingly failing to even notice she&#8217;s there. But perhaps most notable on one particular day when Willamina seems to hold a book hidden from their view reading from it and glaring their direction, is how Lara&#8217;s chest is starting to look bigger.<\/p>\n<p>Could Willamina really be a witch? Where did she actually come from and did anyone in connection to the company actually send her there? Are Lara and Janice just imagining things?
