When Fate Decided to Play its Part

CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE:

A Nobody

--

Becca decided to stay with them until she finds an apartment and a new work. The haunt is awfully slow, so bitten with the guilt of something she didn’t do, Althea was still paying for her when she babysits Kai whenever she has to go out to do something. Before Becca was able to find a new job, Jack expressed his sadness to Althea about what happened to the shop. He blamed himself for not guarding the shop that day. If he did, he might even stop the fire before spreading or stopped that man before he can even light a speck of fire.

Althea just shook her head and laughed it off, saying it was nobody’s fault. Although it was pretty ironic for her to say that since she herself was feeling guilty. Later that day, he also passed his resignation letter to Althea. She was worried at first, thinking that he might not see a job immediately, but Jack assured her that he already found one, he even said that he can recommend Becca to it.

“That’s really great.” Now she will not have to burden herself from looking jobs for them. “I hope you’ll have a good time there. If something happened, you could contact me anytime too.”
