Instantly, Linda hung her head and said, “Grandma, I think we have shopped enough. Should we go home now?”
“Oh, I’m not quite done yet, Linda. Don’t worry. I know when I should stop. Look, there’s a ladies’ clothing store there. Let’s go. I’ll pick out some more clothes for you,” Lindsay said, leading Linda happily toward the store where Selena was in.
Instead of pulling her back, Linda quickened her steps and stopped in front of Lindsay, blocking the latter’s path. “Don’t go there, Grandma! Not there!”
“What is it? What’s wrong with you, my child?”
“I really do have enough clothes already. We don’t have to buy any more,” Linda replied as the corners of her eyes darted toward Selena’s direction, and she saw that she hadn’t noticed them yet. The servants accompanying them followed closely behind, carrying their bags of shopping.
“What’s the matter, Linda?”
Out of desperation, Linda could only say, “Grandma, there’s someone I know over there, and I don’t want to meet her.”
“Someone you know?” Lindsay repeated as her eyes darted in that direction, unsure of who she was speaking about. “Who’s that? Is it someone who bullied you in the past? I’ll teach her a lesson for you.” There’s no way that I would allow someone who had bullied Linda to exist!
“She’s… my previous superior.”
“Your superior? Then that makes her your boss.”
“Yes. She’s a very mean person who is rotten to the core. Not only did she deduct my salary without a reason, but she even… She would…” Linda trailed off, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“Just tell me what she wanted you to do! Say it and I’ll seek justice for you!” Lindsay said, thumping her own chest furiously.
“Forget it, Grandma. It’s all in the past now, and I don’t want to bring it up again. Let’s just go quickly.”
However, Lindsay gripped her hand firmly, saying, “Tell me, Linda. If you don’t, I’ll feel very uneasy. Do you want my blood pressure to run high?”
