In paragraph 20-30 how does the author build suspense about her wages

She keeps talking nervously and anxiously how she is waiting to get paid.

Explanation:

If you read paragraphs 20 to 30, you will see that she is describing her dream of walking in her new American clothes and replacing her old immigrant rags with fancy beautiful clothes she will be able to buy once she gets paid. Later on she describes her day while she is waiting for her salary - her hands are shaking, she cannot think straight, she is nervous and anxious about getting paid, and in the end, she doesn't even receive anything for her hard work.

She keeps thinking that her employers must have forgotten and that they will remember about her wage as the day goes by, but unfortunately that never happens and she is left penniless.
