Cut Off
David, how could you have forgotten to let me know that you were fired? “How dare you treat me like that?” Sharply, Mildred put down her phone. She spent thirty minutes talking to the pair, telling them that they were wasting their lives and making a terrible choice that she couldn’t support.
Since David and Emma had a greeting card company, they were delighted with their ability to communicate. Therefore, they were focused on keeping their composure in the face of Mildred’s ire or rejection. They concluded that cutting off all contact with Mildred was the only course of action when she hung up the phone before allowing them to speak with her.
