Chapter 160: Chapter 160

Dinner Table

"So, what do you think about your job? Are you still going tomorrow?" Julia looked at Rebecca who didn't touch her food still and looked out of space.

Rebecca raised her head and glanced at Julia with lost expression.

"I don't know." She look down to her plate where food already turned cold without her realising.

Julia sighed to hear her and next moment let out, "Rebecca, I know you love your work even the place is not the safe one. However, if you truly want to get peaceful life, you should avoid to go there again…"

Rebecca again looked at her.

"No matter how good nature people out there when things need to turn worse. It will even without knowing…"

Rebecca fingers gripped on the spoon.

"Today's incident enough for this to know you. It will only risk you and your baby. And I also can't watch you go there knowing that anytime, anything happens out there with you."

Rebecca shrugged.

"You are right, Julia. I should think carefully before taking this job."

"It's alright. But you need to make right decision for you and please never think I'm too busy to not listen to you."

Rebecca gave slight fraud smile and nodded.

"And about Edwin…" Julia's word made her lips again turned straight.

"Even you don't like his words, but his words were true. If he is not there, things could be worse."

Rebecca pressed her lips tightly. Before finally nodded to her words.

"Yeah, you are right. He just trying to help me but I don't know why I just argue with him for working there." She let the spoon go from her finger and raised next moment to let it pressed against her forehead with sigh.

Julia could see, how Rebecca is stressing herself and soon replied, "It's normal in pregnancy to get upset easily or get angry. It's all hormonal changes. Don't stress yourself."

Rebecca agree with her words. She can feel how mood swings working nowadays with her.

"You are right, Julia. But now after talking with you, I made up my mind to resign from this job."

"Are you sure?" Julia felt glad.

"Yeah…I can't take anymore risk."

"That's a good decision babe! I'm proud of you."

Rebecca gave small smile and added, "Thank you for staying beside me Julia, you don't know how much I feel blessed to be with you."

"Same for me, Babe!" Julia smiled back.

"Then how will you send the letter?" Julia questioned.

"I'll go to meet library owner tomorrow and give the letter."

"But I don't think you need to do that. Just call him and tell the truth. I know, he will understand." Julia asserted.

"Yes, I know. But I want to say goodbye by meeting him and his wife."

Julia understand and nodded.

"Alright, but please come back faster. Don't need to stay until evening."

"Yeah, I'll…Promise."

Rebecca nodded to agree with her while Julia also sighed in relief.

"It's too late now. Let's sleep. You need to go office early morning." Rebecca made her remember that she told her there is so much work next day in the office.

"Yeah, I just forget it. Let's wrap up and then sleep tightly."

Rebecca nodded.

And both friend finished their eating soon.

"Hey, Hi…"

"Sorry to call you this late night." Sam call Julia and when she attend it, he soon speak up these words.

However, Julia didn't respond to him and maintain a big silence.

Hearing no words from her, he felt little concerned.

"Julia, are you there?"

Only then she answered.

"Yes." Her tone is quieter not like everyday.

"Are you upset about anything?" Sam could not help but asked.

To which Julia without answering back to his question, throw another question to him.

"Sam, I know everything."

Sam felt paused and sighed helplessly before blurting out.

"Listen…"

"I'm sorry. I know, you feel angry on me to share Rebecca's work werebout to Boss. But I can't watch him feeling worried for her. He just wanted to look after her."

He explained in one breath and waited for her words, which come back soon next later.

"I know…I know Sam. Why you did that and for that I'm not angry."

"Really?" Sam blinked his eyes in disbelief.

"Yes, because if it's not for Edwin. She is not safe right now and I can't imagine what could be happened to her."

Sam's brows arched.

"Julia, what are you saying? I can't understand. Is something happened?"

"You don't know about the incident?" Julia confusedly asked.

"No." He answered.

"But didn't you drop her home?"

"Yes, I did. But it's all because boss call me in the way of home to ask me come bus stop and drop Rebecca home."

"I thought, they fight again. Because boss don't want her to continue work there. Because of environmental."

Julia sighed.

"No, they not only fight but Edwin also rescued her to be injured by bully's knife "

"What?" Sam felt lost for a word.

"Yes, when she's coming back, the drunken man first tried to harras her and when she pushed him, he tried to use knife to injured her but on the right Edwin come and help her to not get hurt. And after that they fight and she left him. Went to the bus stop."

"I never thought something this big happen out there."

"Yeah me too. But I'm glad he was there."

"That's true, Julia." Sam responded.

"So, what now Rebecca thought about job?"

"She will resign tomorrow."

"Good decision. This way boss also can feel relief."

"Yeah, me too." Julia added.

"Julia, if you don't mind can I ask you something?" Sam hesitate voice made Julia concentrate on him more.

"About what?" She inquiries.

"Did Rebecca told you…" Before he can complete words Julia answered him.

"Sam, I know what you are trying to ask. But answer is 'No'. She didn't tell me anything about your informing to Edwin about her werebout. But I know the truth as soon as I heard Edwin got there. L Rebecca tried to hide this fact enough to not take your name in front of me. But I knew it"

"I'm sorry." Sam whispered.

Julia smiled lightly and answered, "it's alright. Because now I can feel Edwin truly loved her and I also hope like you. They both get togerger."

"Really?" Sam could not believe to her words for a moment.

"Yes, I think, he deserve a chance. But he need to work hard."

"That's true." Sam replied.
