    Perhaps her love for him made her feel ted whenever he was a little nice to her However, if he were


    even slightly mean to her, she would wonder whether she had done something wrong


    Thus, the yielded to him over everything and was constantly afraid that she would lose him anytime.


    Unfortunately, Dexter would never understand such feelings. After all, she was not someone he


    cherished.


    Josie waited for Arnold’s call for the next few days. However, all she received was Matthew’s invitation.

    He invited her to meet at a revolving restaurant on top of a building. Josie searched for the table based


    on the description in his message and soon saw him seated at a table with his back facing her. She


    calmed her thoughts and slowly approached the table. Suddenly, she sensed something was wrong.


    There was a woman seated opposite him.


    Josie paused immediately.


    The woman was petite and had a shy smile on her delicate face. While she was not considered


    beautiful. her eyes were bright and charming.


    Josie was stunned.


    This woman was her best friend during university, Nancy Stewart.


    Nancy was not originally from Wavery. She returned to Rivodia, her hometown, after graduation. They


    each became busy with adult lives and gradually lost contact.


    Nancy bit on the drinking straw and looked up to find Josie stunned at her spot. She called out softly,


    Josie?”


    Josie shut her eyes to stop herself from tearing up. As she walked to the table, Matthew stood up and


    looked at her apologetically. “Jo, you seem downtely. I happened to see your friend’sment on


    Facebook and asked her to see you. Please don’t be angry.


    He intended well.


    Josie smiled. I’m not angry.”


    “Jo, Nancy called her name tentatively.


    Josie turned to her with a genuine smile. “Nancy, it’s been a long time.”


    She sat beside her and patted her hair. “What brings you to Wavery? Are you here alone?”


    Nancy instinctively nced at Matthew and seemed concerned about something. “Yes, I’m a high


    school teacher…. but it’s not a school in Wavery.” She added thetter part for rification.


    Josie was surprised. “A teacher?”


    Nancy smiled and exined, “Iter decided to study hard… but I’m still far from your level. The tutor


    always liked to talk about how brilliant you were back then.”


    Matthew saw her smile and was d that he had called Nancy here.


    The waiter soon served the food. Matthew took Josie’s bowl and filled it with soup. Then, he ced it


    before her and said. “You look pale. Are you not feeling well?”


    Matthew spoke gently andfortingly, calming Josie’s frustration instantly. She rested her head on


    her propped hand and answered, “Yes, a little.”


    Matthew frowned. “What happened?”


    Josie looked down.


    Matthew did not rx his frown. “Jo, I want to know why your mood changed so drastically. Did


    something happen?”


    Josie remained silent. She did not want to talk about it.


    “It’s not the time to talk about this. Let’s eat.”


    Nancy noticed something wrong halfway through the meal and left the table with Josie with the excuse


    of going to the washroom.


    A Friend from University.


    Her glory during her university days was all in the past.


    Josie sighed and believed Nancy had probably let go of the matter. At least she was able to talk about


    the topic calmly.


    Then, Josie and Nancy talked about their present lives. Josie mentioned she recently faced nder


    and giarism. Nancy pped the table furiously and nearly jumped up from her seat. “How dare they


    do this. to you!”


    Josie smiled and was touched by her concern.
