thought you’d bring just any andom person to appease me, Ryan. You’ve grown up.”

Pretending to be angry Maureen tumed to Ryan, “Didn’t you buy any gifts for her?” 

Observing Maja’s attire–a quality fabric but with a simple design–and her handbag from a brand under $40, Maureen looked at her son with satisfaction. 

It seems sending you to the Raymond Group was the right decision.”
