A Conversation That Was Needed
Claudia saw an opportunity here. She was not being mean or anything. Instead, she saw a safe way out of this situation in terms of her niece again. She had a long phone call with J’Ann and explained to her the basics.
After that discussion, she invited J’Ann to her house. All was set, and Claudia was now looking into her office schedule with a newfound optimism and was planning to attend her meeting. She had spent weeks ignoring her professional life, and turning to it more attentively was a very pleasing sensation for her. After all, this job was all she had for herself and her girl.
