Mia remained calm as she said, “This is my own choice. Thank you for your concern.”
“I wasn’t concerned about you,” Wilhelmina replied.
Wilhelmina turned around and noticed that Shelly had arrived. She immediately greeted Shelly with a smile. ” Ms. Barrett, you’re finally here. The design that you wanted is ready.”
Shelly walked in arrogantly while carrying her luxurious handbag. She looked directly at Mia and asked, “Did
you get fired?”
Mia ignored Shelly.
Wilhelmina quickly explained the situation to Shelly. “She’s planning to return to school to continue her
studies. You know that she took a two-year break from school, right?”
Shelly knew about the situation as it was her aunt who had forced Mia to take a break from school so that Mia
would stay at home, take care of the family, and, hopefully, bear a child for Timothy.
Shelly fiddled with her newly done nails and said, “Even if she graduates from college, a woman like her could
only work odd jobs. Why waste two years studying? It’s better for her to start working early and earn more
money.”
Mia put down the files she was holding and looked at Shelly. “Are you suggesting that I should be as
uneducated as you?”
Shelly angrily retorted, “What do you mean?”
“I mean what I said. If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, perhaps you should attend elementary
school again. After all, even elementary students can understand what I’m talking about.”
