Chapter 34 I’ll Take Charge

• Yamila Simpson had always been the most driven of her generation. She was nothing like Nova Simpson, who spent her days chasing designer labels and showing off.
• Her recent absences were only because something ugly had happened, and she just couldn’t bring herself to work. But Old Mrs. Simpson made a huge fuss, grabbed onto it, and wouldn’t let go. Total favoritism.
• Lillian Wood tried to reach Yamila after that night at the hotel, calling over and over, but Yamila refused every call.
