Chapter 0133
“A writer who can’t produce work or make sales–are they still a writer?”
Mindy got upset. “I have lots of ideas, but
you…
Edith cut her off, “Your ideas aren’t special or interesting. Writing them would just waste time and not make any sales! Do you still think you’re the ‘Queen of Suspense? Honestly, you’re past your prime! Mindy, you need to face the facts!”
“Mom-” Miranda couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped out from behind the shelf.
Mindy quickly wipe
her tears and forced a smile. “Did you get the baking powder?”
Miranda held up the packet. “Here it is. It’s getting late, and Dad might be home from school soon. Let’s hurry and check out.”
“Okay.”
“Well, Mrs. Jiver, we should get going.” Miranda said, speaking for her mother. She could tell that Mindy was really upset and didn’t want to deal with Edith anymore.
Edith gave a polite smile. “Okay, I’ll keep looking around. And Mindy, please think about what I said. We’ve been working together for a long time.”
Mindy kept her eyes down and didn’t say anything.
Miranda took the shopping cart and led her mother out
“Mom, did you sign a ten–year contract with Mrs. Jiver “Yes.”
“If I remember right, this should be the last year, right?
Mindy did the math and nodded. “Yes, it is.”
“What do you think of her?” Miranda asked.
Mindy thought for a moment and then said, “She’s still very professional.”
