“Lily, Leia is no good. You’re literally making a deal with the devil… the consequences are pretty obvious, Doris warned Lily.

“Don’t say that about Ms. Martin. You’re not any better Lily shot back, defending Leia and reprimanding Doris.

As Lily walked into the changing room, she deliberately brushed her shoulder hard against Doris, strutting arrogantly.

Doris raised a hand to massage her sore shoulder.

“Doris, are you okay?” Lola asked with concern, reaching out to follow Lily.

Doris stopped her. “I’m fine. Let’s go.”

She didn’t want to cause any more trouble at the hotel. They were no longer staff there, and causing a scene would only get them ruthlessly kicked out by security.

Leaving with dignity was the best way to maintain her self–respect.

As Doris and Lola left the hotel, their colleagues couldn’t help but regret seeing them go.

All good things must come to an end, but they just hoped they would take care of themselves.

Once outside, Lola spread her arms wide, closing her eyes as she inhaled deeply, savoring the fresh air.

“It feels like the air is different now that we’re out,” Lola said, her eyes crinkling into a bright smile. “Doris, it’s almost noon. Let me treat you to lunch to celebrate that we’re finally free from all this nonsense.”

“Doris, you really shouldn’t have quit just for me,” Doris said, feeling guilty, as though she had let Lola down.

“I didn’t do it just for you,” Lola responded. “We can’t keep letting people push us around like that.” She placed a hand on Doris‘ shoulder. “One day, I’ll make sure we get our revenge.

“My dad’s been telling me to quit and come home. He says he can support me even if I don’t work or get married. I’ve been working for years and I’m exhausted. This is the perfect time to take a break.”

Doris kept her lips tightly pressed together, just watching Lola. Lola’s loyalty was something Doris had never taken for granted. The bond between them was real, and it truly moved her.

Lola added, “Doris, if something like this happened to me, would you have done the same thing for me?”

Without hesitation, Doris nodded. “Of course.” Their friendship was solid, built on promises never to betray each other.
