THE PRESENTATION CENTERIt took Annabelle a little over two hours for Louisa to explain to Christine all that she needed to know about the job.Therefore, they could not go to the dining hall for their breakfast. Grandma ordered the house help to serve them in the living room.Grandma intentionally sat with them all throughout .She had two reasons in mind.The first was to see Louisa's 'presentation' and get to know the recent updates in the progress of the company.Occasionally, she would intentionally ask Louisa a question that, in actual fact, was supposed to be asked by Christine. Since Christine was a novice about the company, she could not ask the necessary basic questions. In essence, Grandma's living room was turned to a presentation center as Louisa sat explaining things to grandma and Christine.Grandma's second reason was that she knew that Christine and Louisa were not on good terms.Christine actually hated Louisa to the bone.She knew that if she left only the two o
