"Hello, Miss Melanie," Charlotte replied with a friendly smile.

"Hello, Sheryl," she greeted Sheryl warmly, then turned to Charlotte. "Ms. Emerson, it's a shame that you couldn't make it to the family event. Sheryl's dad did such a great job, but unfortunately, both parents must be present in order to receive the participation gift."

As she spoke, sympathy hung on Miss Melanie's face. Meanwhile, Charlotte's mind only turned into mush with every word of hers.

Charlotte chuckled awkwardly.
