“Did you offer Bree a job?” “No, I didn’t.” “She did good work.” “She did.” “Then why not hire her?” Ana takes a deep breath. “Because there comes a point when you have to put a person before a business. And as a mother, I couldn’t put Bree in the line of fire when I know she has deep-rooted self-worth issues that she needs to address.” “River took advantage of her.” I frown. “There have been a lot of Rivers in Bree’s life,” Ana says. “But she’s taking a timeout for a while, which I think will be good for her. And once she’s ready, I told her she’ll have a place at WLS.”
