Shirley staggered backward but managed to steady herself. However, the girl with the water bucket fell to the ground.
Upon realizing that almost half of the water from the bucket had spilled out, the girl quickly took a towel to wipe the wet floor.
“Are you blind, Evelyn? Did you not see us walking? I'll have to get Ms. Azymore to teach you a lesson!” Shirley yelled.
“I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you just now.”
In a fit of anger, Shirley kicked the bucket, causing more water to spill onto the floor.
Evelyn dared not complain. She just quietly wiped the water off the floor as if someone would berate her for being inefficient.
“Let it go, Shirley. Why be mad at someone like her? We have an image to maintain now,” Zoey said.
Shirley responded with a cold snort and walked past Evelyn to return to her room.
At that moment, Donald uttered, “Hold on.”
Shirley, who behaved like a shrew when she confronted Evelyn, turned around and looked at him with sparkly puppy eyes. She looked completely different from how she had acted seconds ago.
Donald finally understood why Jennifer wanted him to go there. She wanted me to see how people could behave differently under different circumstances.
“That girl—what's her name?” Donald asked.
“Oh, she's Evelyn Shabelle, one of the new girls here. But she's not as talented as the others. The only reason she's here is to make money to cover her mother's medical bills,” Violette said.
She thought Donald was not pleased with Evelyn since she was different from the other girls and dressed like a middle-aged janitor.
When Evelyn realized Donald was asking about her, she bit her lip and started fidgeting anxiously.
