Chapter 43 — An Excellent Teacher

• With no chance of going back to the company to get my car, I flag down the first taxi I see on the street. As I get into the vehicle, I greet the friendly driver with a warm smile.
• — Where to, ma'am? — he asks, looking at me through the rearview mirror.
• I press my lips together, considering going anywhere but home. I opt to go to my apartment; maybe spending more time with my mother could be beneficial for me.
