Juliet returned to her rented apartment, taking off her heels and changing into slippers, before walking to the bedroom.
"It's alright. Just a little tired. Tate Industries is bigger than I imagined, so the annual dinner is insanely big, too. It's my first time seeing something on this scale." Juliet sat down on the bed and switched her phone to speaker mode. Then, she poured herself a glass of water. "I asked around, and all the employees seemed to like Avery."
"That just means that the job offer they got from Avery is good. Employees work for their bosses and couldn't possibly know who their bosses are in private," the old woman said objectively. "To know who Avery is, you will need to talk to her friends and observe her behavior in private."
"Yeah. It's my first day at work, so I had to be extremely careful not to say or do the wrong thing, or I might not pass the probation, which means I won't have the chance to get to know her."
"That's too much work, Madam!"
"It's fine. Avery gave me a high salary, and I'll send you some money once I get my salary." Juliet took a sip of water and untied her hair. She had tied her hair too tightly so her scalp felt uncomfortable.
"Madam, Irene was bullied at school today." The old woman had originally planned to find a part-time job to earn some extra income while Irene went to school, but she was concerned that she might not be able to take care of Irene if she did so.
Irene would need to have dinner after school every day. Though the kindergarten provided dinner, she never seemed to have enough food.
"What's going on? The teacher didn't say anything to me." Juliet picked up her phone to check her messages, but there were no messages from the teacher.
"The teacher informed me of it when I went to pick her up. Some boy had bullied Irene, and Irene had scratched his face. The boy's parents caused a scene at school, but luckily, other parents spoke up for us, so the teacher sent us home first."
