We Have the Right Reasons
Justin said with delight, “That’s great! You set a time and place. I’ll go to pick you up. It’s on my treat.”
Gloria was smiling. “It’s up to you, Mr. Harris. When you make a reservation, send the location to
Nydia. I have some things to do, so I’ll leave you alone.”
OK, see you later.”
Justin was much nicer to Gloria than to Nydia.
After Gloria hung up the phone, Nydia couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Such a vile man groveled
to beg for your help. Laughed my ass off. Gloria, I’m much better now.
Gloria smiled without another word.
A realization hit Nydia She shifted her gaze to Gloria, “Old Mrs. Collins birthday party is coming. Are
you going to give a slap on Angela’s face?”
Gloria paused for a moment and mixed feelings crept upon her face.
Nydia was confused, “Gloria, what’s up?”
Gloria sighed. “I wish to give a slap on Angela’s face. But I’m worried I may be out of line and hurt
Grandma’
“What?’ Confusion filled Nydia’s eyes “What do you mean?”
Gloria was helpless She could only breathe a sigh. There is a thing that Grandma can’t get over all the
time. I’m trying to use Angela to help Grandma go through it. But it’s a little risky I’m worried that I might
evoke Grandma’s sad feelings instead.”
Nydia blinked her eyes, ‘So, your real purpose is not to embarrass Angela in public, but to help old Mrs.
Collins?”
Gloria nodded with mixed emotions. She was hesitating to carry out her plan since she was not sure if
she could make it
Nydia chuckled, “Gloria, you’re always that kind girl. Just do whatever you want to do. If you don’t give
it a shot, old Mrs. Collins could never go through it. Maybe she would have to leave the world with
regrets. If you tried, perhaps she wouldn’t have to feel sad about it in the future.”
Gloria’s lashes trembled, and she finally nodded. “OK, I will do it.”
Nydia held Gloria’s hand. “No matter what, I’ll back you up. However, you’ll be the center of attention at
tomorrow’s party and face criticism from some people, so I’ll go with you and protect you!”
Gloria curled up her lips into a smile. “OK”
Looking at Gloria’s sad face, Nydia patted her shoulder. “Babe, do I need to send these documents to
you by e-mail? Or do you need me to print them out? Have you found out the way to deal with Justin
tonight?”
Gloria nodded. ‘Do unto others as you want to be done unto yourself. He suffered losses from the
cooperation with his partner, but he tried to offset the losses by swindling money from you. Such a
person
deserves getting nothing.”
Nydia was delighted. “That bastard! How dare he bully me? Luckily, I have a strong backing!”
Gloria was amused. “Print these documents out. I have to go to work and deal with some things. You
can send the location to me by the evening.”
Nydia nodded with smiles on her lips. “OK, go ahead. As for the matter about old Mrs. Collins, you
don’t need to have too many scruples. Do as you wish. After all, we have the right reasons.”
Gloria felt touched, nodded with a smile, and left without another word.
Being busy for the whole afternoon, Gloria finally settled her business. Receiving the location sent by
Nydia, she drove there at once.
