“Ms. Maia is your boss during working hours, but she’s your older sister when we’re off work. As your sister, I’m sure she wants you to be fed well. Weight management isn’t as important.”

“What did you say, Buck? Maia’s the worst? How’s that possible?” Hope stared at him, not understanding the reason behind his words. Maia, on the other hand, caught his drift.
