My Four Miraculous Treasures

Chapter 222 The other cleaning lady nudged her admonishingly. "You talk too much."

"I'll have you know, I'm repeating Willow Nason's own words, here! Look, it was only yesterday that Willow was just another cleaning woman, the same as us!

The day before, she'd honestly thought that Mr Hughes was just bringing Willow to another branch of the company to do some more cleaning.
