Sean and Catherine exchanged whispers like others were not present in the room.
Pearl pinched her hands so hard that it bleeds. She tried too hard to keep her act together that she was bleeding in her heart every time she heard Catherine saying "honey." But she was nothing and had no right to ask about them.
"Sean, what are you talking about?"
Sean looked up at Iris coldly.
Iris felt guilty. But on second thought, she knew she did nothing wrong. So she kept saying, "Catherine is feeling better? I heard you asked for sick leave. Are you okay?"
Iris didn't see Catherine the other day. Now she did. But Catherine's skin was smooth and tender. Iris could hardly imagine she had face rashes. She was annoyed.
How could there be no scars left on her face? Iris thought. So she would have the reason to be mean.
"I'm better now. Thanks, Iris. I'm touched."
