But people were all realistic!
Alana called the shots in the company, while Henry indulged her. I kept retreating and compromising.
Many people thought that I had passed my prime days. They started to flatter Alana.
They praised her and belittled me. Under the support of these opportunistic people, I became a member of the disadvantaged group.
Especially Alana, who was very good at winning people's hearts, was giving those flatterers some small favors.
Her influence was even stronger.
Many people addressed her as Mrs. Smith.
So now she deliberately humiliated me with the car washing matter. Instantly, several colleagues were eager to help her wash the car.
Alana looked at me proudly.
She didn't say anything, but I could guess what she was thinking.
"Monica Keith!"
"I have taken your man!"
"I snatched your mother! away from you."
"I stole your car, your office, your product, and your interpersonal relationships!"
"Are you angry?"
I wasn't angry. After all, I always had a line from a TV drama on my mind.
That was, [Don't be happy about what you did today. Be careful about bearing the consequences tomorrow!]
