Carol and I had been home for two days when
Richard and Susan came over with gifts.
I had earned some money in college, and I
renovated the house.
It was better than it used to be, but it wasn’t
good enough for them.
Carol invited them in, and they asked about
- me.
After college, I got a job as a technician at a
biotech company.
I studied it in college.
Richard got excited. “Maggie, we own a
skincare and cosmetics company. You’re
exactly the kind of person our company
needs. You should come work for us.”
When I didn’t say anything, Richard added,
“I’ll triple your salary.”
Susan said, “Maggie, business is tough these
days. Our company is having trouble
developing new products. You could help us.”
I got up and said, “I’ll think about it. If there’s
nothing else, you can go now.”
Before leaving, Richard and Susan looked at
me earnestly. “Maggie, call us when you
decide. We want you to come home.”
I said, “That adopted daughter of yours
doesn’t seem too happy about me. I’ll
consider working for you, but I’m not moving
in.”
Richard said, “Don’t worry. We’ll talk to Lily.
She won’t give you any trouble.”
Susan added, “You’re our daughter. She
doesn’t get to decide.”
“I’ll call you when I’ve made up my mind.” I
waved and watched them drive away.
