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
