“Mommy, who is this?” Connor pointed to the woman on the screen and asked. His face was solemn.

Slightly upset, Natalie shut her eyes for a brief moment. She told her son in a disappointed tone, “She’s my colleague and also someone I respect. Normally, she is quite nice to me. I can’t believe that she would do something like this!”
