Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Setting aside her utensils, Stephanie wore a trace of bitterness on her features. "Silver Fox, if you can defy the march of time and remain eternally youthful, why am I denied the same privilege? It seems everyone else gets a reprieve from aging, leaving me to bear the

brunt of becoming the eldest in the family, correct?"

Give me a break! She thought.

She really should have kept her mouth shut and just eaten her dinner in peace.

But she was so happy to be home, she couldn't help but speak.

Sebastian replied coolly, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

Marilyn chimed in, "Exactly."

"Alright, alright, I'll shut up. Let's eat," Stephanie quickly dug into her food, only to hear Sebastian set down his fork. "Mrs. Bishop, you asked me for help finding a job. Well, I found one."

Marilyn's eyes lit up. "Which company?"

"Skyline Corporation..."

"Ah..." Stephanie almost choked on her food. "You want my mom to work at your company?"
