Ellie went to Encounter Bar and learned from Whitney that her mom had been secretly looking for jobs for her and her brother.

This morning, since her mom couldn’t read, her newly hired boss managed to reduce her salary by three hundred dollars a month. Unaware of the going rates, her mom agreed on the spot.

After leaving the restaurant, her mom was blocked and insulted by two other women competing for the dishwashing job at the alley’s entrance. During the scuffle, she was pushed over, right as Whitney happened to pass by and saw everything.

Whitney handed Ellie a glass of juice and said, “Actually, I saw her around this street looking for work a few days ago. I thought you and your brother knew, so I didn’t pay much attention.”

Whitney wore a modernized dress under a cream–colored cashmere coat, with her natural long hair tied into a low ponytail.

She wore oversized metal hoop earrings, with a foreign classic novel by her side. Her petite figure exuded the sophisticated charm of a mature woman.
