In My Desperate Time

I pick up the phone at last.

If I don’t answer it, then I’ll seem like the one with a guilty conscience, considering what happened just now.

Whitney says nothing but apology first.

“I’m really sorry, Ms. Noyes. I was acting impassively last time. I forgot that Mr. Song and Frances were close friends. You and Mr. Song are so in love, it’s impossible that you have a secret relationship with Frances. Since we’re all women, I believe you understand why I did that.”

“Of course.”

This calm response doesn’t show my mixed emotions.

It’s me that should be apologizing.

I feel sorry for her that she still doesn’t know the truth.

“Mr. Song asked me to make this call. Later I’ll go to DS and the Mangalore center to prove that design belongs to you.”

I’m at the brink of tears after hearing her out.

I can’t believe she’s doing this for me.
