Setting aside her utensils, Stephanie wore a trace of bitterness on her features. "Silver Fox, if you can defy the march of time and remain eternally youthful, why am I denied the same privilege? It seems everyone else gets a reprieve from aging, leaving me to bear the brunt of becoming the eldest in the family, correct?"
Give me a break! She thought.
She really should have kept her mouth shut and just eaten her dinner in peace.
But she was so happy to be home, she couldn't help but speak.
Sebastian replied coolly, “If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.”
Marilyn chimed in, “Exactly.”
“Alright, alright, I'll shut up. Let's eat,” Stephanie quickly dug into her food, only to hear Sebastian set down his fork. “Mrs. Bishop, you asked me for help finding a job. Well, I found one.”
Marilyn's eyes lit up. “Which company?”
“Skyline Corporation...”
“Ah...” Stephanie almost choked on her food. “You want my mom to work at your company?”
“Yes, we have an opening in the finance department.”
“Mom, aren't you planning on taking a break for a while... Can your health handle working so soon?”
“I've been resting for over two months now, I'm feeling great. You can ask Judith, I've been staying with Seb and I've been doing really well! I don't want to impose on Seb anymore... Once you go back to school, we should go back home.”
Sebastian looked surprised. “Mrs. Bishop, are you not comfortable living here?”
“No, no, no... I'm very happy when living here, but it's not right for me to stay here before you two get married. I only moved in because Steph wasn't here. Now that she's back, it's best if we go home and Steph only stays here occasionally.”
