In this chapter, we learn that the women in the bank are trying to find a way to get Milady to marry them. Milady is jealous of Milady's success in getting the job, but she also knows that she has to work hard to get it. She tells Milady that the men are okay with the situation, but Milady has to do her best to keep them from talking about her. She says that she's just following orders from the super visors, and that she doesn't feel any better at all about the situation. She sniffs at the hot grill and realizes that it's really hot. Milka is surprised to see that the food is really hot, and Milady wonders what's going on. She's also surprised to find that Milady seems to be having a good time, and she wonders if he's already sleeping. She laughs at Milka's jokes about her being a married woman, and wonders if Milady might be having an affair with someone else. She realizes that she might not have been able to get the job she wanted if she hadn't been so hard-working.
