Bonnie was extra nervous, her eyes glued to Thalia, trying to read her expression. But Thalia just kept her face icy and silent. which only made Bonnie’s anxiety skyrocket.

“I… Bonnie stammered, panic written all over her face as she wrung her hands. She whispered, “I saw Diana try to call a few times but never managed to get through. I thought maybe she just needed a little nudge, so I acted on my own.
“I’m sorry… Thalia, I honestly had no idea things were so complicated between them. I messed up, I swear I won’t ever do something like this again. Please… don’t fire me, okay?”

She slowly stood up, looking at Diana “Mom, I’ll spend the rest of my life atoning for my mistakes. Until the day you can forgive me. I’ll visit you often.
Diana still didn’t say a word.
Shyla looked utterly defeated, and as she left the room, she kept glancing back with every step, her disappointment plain to
