Seeing Anne crying, Mrs. Delilah and Mrs. Riley spontaneously hugged Anne. Their guess was correct. There was something wrong with the cheerful girl they knew. Because there were still quite a lot of visitors to the laundry, the two middle-aged women then brought Anne into the room where they used to chat.
"Sit here, Darling. Now, stop crying, there are still a lot of visitors, they might think that we have committed acts of violence to you," said Mrs. Delilah softly, trying to calm Anne down by making jokes.
"Yes, Dear. If that happens, then we will lose our customers. You don't want us to end up on the street, right?" joked Mrs. Riley in response to Mrs. Delilah's words.
"Ma'am, sob, what are you talking about?" Anne sobbed. She was not happy to hear the words of the two good women in front of her.
