I’m already thinking of suing the company for exploiting her.” Stephen replied, “Grandpa, a light job won’t be challenging for her. Let’s not interfere with her work, I have my plans.” Robert sighed. “Alright, I’ll stay out of it then. Has she been giving you any trouble lately?”
Stephen chuckled. “She won’t be herself if she doesn’t cause trouble.”
