Excuse me?
Elise Don originally wanted to say what offended me, and quickly remembered the incident on her birthday. She indeed disliked Penelope Goodman, but she hadn't acted on it yet!
She exchanged glances with Annie.
Annie: It was you.
Elise Don: It really wasn't me.
In the midst of the back-and-forth, Elise Don received a call from Marian Bloom.
Elise Don's nerves twitched, and she sweetly called out first, Mom.
Annie had never seen this boss act like such a sycophant, smiling openly and listening in on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's conversation.
Marian Bloom: "Lily, what are you doing, duck?"
Elise Don: "I'm at work, duck."
Marian Bloom: "Oh~ I'm shopping on Fifth Avenue. Is there anything you want, and I'll bring it back to the country for you?"
America? Fifth Avenue? The gathering place of world trends?
Even Night Charm's headquarters is there!
Elise Don was not polite and first said thank you, Mom.
