Chapter 25 I smiled faintly and asked , " Is making an honest living something to be ashamed of ? You're also working , aren't you ? " Christine was caught by my retort . Then , she said , " Don't forget that you're on probation , Josie . I'm your boss , and I decide whether you stay or go . " I nodded . " Oh , I remember . And I'll work hard . Is there anything else , Ms. Moore ? " Christine probably only found out that day that I was working for her , so she hadn't yet figured out how to mess with me . For now , she just waved me off . I felt a little uneasy as I sat at my desk . Having my college rival as my boss didn't exactly promise smooth sailing . Just then , my phone pinged with a WhatsApp message from Ruby . " Is Timothy's daughter an idiot or what ? " she wrote , adding a cry - laughing emoji . " I stopped by her class today and heard from the teacher that she didn't even know how to pull up her pants after using the toilet . " I replied , " With Timothy's brains , you'd think he wouldn't have a dimwitted kid . " " Maybe that homewrecker wrecked his gene pool , too . That girl's dumber than a brick and has a huge temper . It's only her first day here , but she shoved another kid to the floor . No one wants to play with her now . " I knew that Ruby was telling me these things to vent on my behalf , but there was also some bias and personal agenda mixed in . As much as I disliked Yasmin and Daphne , I texted back , " Don't make things hard for her . I don't want to take my anger out on a kid . " I didn't dare keep chatting with Ruby , worried that Christine would catch me and make my life harder . I spent the rest of the day familiarizing myself with the job . When it was almost time to leave , Christine deliberately assigned me a news article to write , saying that it was due for publication the next day . I had no choice but to stay late . It wasn't until 10:00 pm that I finished the draft and emailed it to her . When I got home , the villa was brightly lit. Daphne was sobbing uncontrollably , seemingly because her classmates had mocked her for wetting her pants at kindergarten . She wailed , " I'm not going back to kindergarten ! I never want to go again ! No one wants to play with me ! " Timothy had already called in two maids to follow Daphne to kindergarten the next day so they could tend to her every need . This was none of my business , so I passed through the living room without stopping . Then , I heard Yasmin say to Timothy , " This is clearly the kindergarten teacher's fault for being irresponsible and letting Daphne get bullied . What if Daphne develops psychological issues if this goes on ? " As soon as the words were out of her mouth , Timothy stopped me . " Come here , Josie . " I knew that he would go after Ruby next if I ignored him , so I turned back , asking coldly , " What ? " He scrutinized me . " Where were you all day ? " I almost wanted to laugh . Did he think that I had spent the day lurking in some corner of the kindergarten , scheming with Ruby or egging her on to mess with his precious Daphne ? 1/2 Chapter 25 +25 BONUS I paused , then asked in return , " Do my whereabouts have anything to do with your daughter wetting her pants today ?
