Her charm must have won over the supervisor. His attitude towards her had changed so drastically.
Yes, it must be so!
After all, she had been voted the most popular employee at the Stevens Corporation!
...
Charlotte arrived at the kindergarten.
Septimo was crying miserably.
Among the eight children, Septimo was the thinnest.
He was as thin as a sapling. It seemed like a gust of wind would be enough to blow him away.
So, when Septimo cried, it made people feel anguished.
Charlotte felt anguished right now.
She hugged Septimo, and her eyes were red as she said, "My dear Septimo, my baby Septimo, Mom is here, so stop crying."
Septimo buried his head in Charlotte's arms as he cried. "Mom, I am so useless," he said. "I got last place on the test again!"
After that, Septimo cried even louder.
He felt so embarrassed.
