Chapter 57: Smart Girl

“It’s a good thing that you and Bobby left that company before it shuts down. Smart decision. You’re a smart girl,” Dad said.

“Don’t you think things would've been different if Bobby stayed?” Mom asked.

“Dad, that’s too harsh. You haven’t met the person,” I said.

“How’s work?” he asked.

“I’m getting the hang of it,” I said.

“Does that boy helping you?” he asked like an old man by referring to Trevor as a boy.
