Divorce Time 209

Chapter 209

Charlene had just arrived at Jasmine's school when she heard Sally calling her name. "Ms. Ross!" Sally's voice was bright and cheerful as she ran over to Charlene.

"Ms. Ross, last night my mom baked some cookies for you, but you weren't home, so I had to take them back," Sally explained, looking slightly disappointed.

Charlene acknowledged her. "Ms. Payne."

Ms. Payne asked Jasmine and Sally to go inside because she needed to have a word with Charlene.
