Darcie wasn’t concerned. She said, “It was just luck. That girl is nothing to worry about. But you, stay home more often and focus on everything Mallory taught you. Don’t disappoint me again.”
Jaylene agreed, but her mind was still on Aaron.
“How’s the new driver?” Darcie asked casually. “Is he working out?”
Jaylene frowned, thinking of the chatty middle-aged man. “He’s okay. He talks too much, always asking questions, which is annoying, but he drives well and does what he’s told, like a dog, very obedient.”
Darcie paused, pursed her lips, then said, “Jaylene, do you remember what I told you at your coming-of-age ceremony?”
Jaylene was silent for a moment before responding, “I remember.”
Darcie calmly organized her papers and said, “Repeat it.”
Jaylene clenched her hands and quietly replied, “When you’re in a low position, treat yourself like a human; when you’re in a high position, treat others like humans.”
Darcie looked up at her. “Have you done that?”
Jaylene bit her lip and, after a moment, said, “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t say ‘sorry’ again. Those are the words I hate the most! You apologize, but nothing changes! Jaylene, I’m not young anymore. I can’t be with you forever. You need to grow up!”
