Stellar's back was facing the group, whose chatter was loud enough for her to hear.
As usual, Cassy constantly received praises for getting hired into a known law firm when she was still preparing for the bar exams that year.
"What about Stellar? She graduated this year, correct?" a friend of her mom asked.
Auntie Babes, the star of every party, answered the question for her mom, which was not an unusual occurrence for Auntie Babes was known to butt-in into any conversation. "She is working under Aster for now."
"Oh, she does? That's a good place to start. Where else should we go but our own family business, correct?"
The ladies laughed like hyenas, and the hint of ridicule in their voices didn't go unnoticed by Stellar. Her lips quivered as she angrily munched on her kebab.
The level of hypocrisy between that group was toxic. Were they making fun of her for working under her mother's tutelage, unlike Cassy, who found work someplace else?
