As Mia glanced up, she couldn't help but notice Raymond approaching. With a meaningful expression, she remarked, "Well, it certainly seems that Ms. Maynard isn't particularly welcoming to me."

"Ms. Lane, perhaps you're being a bit harsh. Luna is still learning and getting used to things. Please be patient with her," Raymond interjected, attempting to mediate.

"But Ms. Maynard is in her thirties; she's an adult, not a toddler. Should I be the one bending over backward to accommodate her? Frankly, some might even question her intelligence if they knew about this."
