Was she for real? How kind she was to me?
Her display of generosity couldnât fool me, not after the heart to heart she had with Bryant in the hospital room. I remembered every

Susan seemed to eat it up, giving her a disapproving tap on the head, âMy dear, why is your heart so set on Bryant?â
Dorothy smiled obediently. âHeâs such a catch. Some people donât appreciate what they have, but I do.â
She was mocking me.
I found it amusing but had no desire to get tangled in her web. I wanted to cut to the chase and asked again, âSo, can you tell me what you want now?â
âMake it luxurious!â
She commanded, laying out her most important requirement, then added, âI want loads of diamonds, real sparklers, with a collar lined with topâtier pearls. It must look expensive at first glance. Oh, and rubles, I adore redâ¦â
By the end, I was almost overwhelmed.
Diamonds, pearls, rubies.
She wasnât asking for a dress; she was asking for a jewelry box.
I couldnât tell if she genuinely liked that style or was just making things difficult on purpose.
I pursed my lips, trying to keep it professional, âMs. Myers, that might be a bit too much. Itâs hard to highlight anything whenâ¦â
Dorothy scoffed, âJane, are you jealous?â

Then, turning to Susan, she said, âMom, Iâm right, arenât I? I am your daughter, I canât let you down.â
Susan patted her hand affectionately. âMy daughter deserves nothing but the best!â
Such a loving motherâdaughter moment.
I had no interest in watching this play out any longer, âAlright, Iâve got it. Iâll send the design to your email. If there are any issues, we can adjust it online.â
I hoped we wouldnât have to meet again.
Dorothy frowned, âArenât you going to take my measurements?â
âNo need. Trust me, itil filâ
I had already taken them with a few glances.
I didnât want to waste any more time.
Dorothy exploded, âYouâre just brushing me off, not giving the Myers family the respect we deserve! Mom, look
âJane, trying to make a quick buck while cutting comers? You seem to forget youâre no longer a rich manâs spun
Susanâs face hardened, a stark contrast to her earlier demeanor, scoffing. âIf you canât adjust, maybe itâs time you
Clearly, they werenât planning on leaving without making a scene.
From the moment they walked in today, they were looking for a fight.
âMrs. Myers!â Suddenly, a relaxed voice called from behind,
Gregory strade over with long, confident steps, the very picture of carefree arrogance, âYou canât bully her now.â
