As soon as the car of lady Karen Douglas. and Donald Douglas sped off from the parking lot.Sandra Douglas immediately closes her window, she had been staring at them from the window of her luxury office.Plopping into her plush leather seat, her thoughts raced as she stared at the widely open door.'After all Lady Karen Douglas and her grandson, Donald Douglas, did to me, why should I help them secure a job at my company, Elvis Global Empire…Just why should I do that?'
