Chapter 120

"Wow, that's amazing! I knew you could do it. You're the best, Callie!"

Calliope hung up the phone after chatting with Portia for a bit. As she looked up, she saw Valerian and Zelda storming through the door, looking as if they were on a mission.

Zelda, especially, wore an expression of disdain and disapproval that could sour milk.

"Calliope, why are you still working in this place?" Zelda huffed, her voice dripping with irritation. "Hanging around with this bunch of misfits as a waitress makes you happy?

How could you let yourself fall to this level? Lisette is doing so well at the company, and you can't even find a decent job?

I bet you wouldn't have made it this far without the Jewell family."

Zelda glanced disdainfully around the bustling diner, her eyes landing on a group playing card in the corner. Her gaze was filled with prejudice, looking like she was staring at something far beneath her. The burly men and the bald guy paused their game, instinctively looking over at Zelda. In an almost choreographed move, they all stood up.

Rafferty strolled over, too.
