When There Is Nothing Left But Love

It was a call from Stacey, and she seemed quite anxious. “Ms. Stovall, Harrison Credit has liaised with the Finance Department. What about Quinn Corporation?”

I was aware that I might not make the right decisions in my current state. Thus, I instructed her, “Contact AC Credit now and hand over Quinn Corporation’s audit to them. You’re taking charge of this matter.”

Stacey murmured in acknowledgment before continuing, “Sure, Ms. Stovall. HiTech will operate end of this month. You may have to go on a business trip for a few days.”

I nodded as I knew that the business trip was inevitable. After I ended the call, I got up from bed though I was uncomfortable and tired.

Macy had prepared soup for me. She looked at me awkwardly and said, “I’m so sorry! I seem to have lost my touch as I had not cooked for many years.”

After stealing a glance at the burnt soup on the table, I chuckled. “You won’t be so cruel to a pregnant woman, will you?”

Her lips curled up into a wry smile. “Try it anyway.”

Judging by the appearance of the burnt soup, I could guess its taste without even trying it. But seeing how eager Macy was, I had no choice but to put my life on the line and try some.

“How’s the taste? Is it nice?” She waited expectantly for my answer.

I could not come up with a sincere compliment even after racking my brain. Yet, I did not want to discourage her, so I laughed and replied curtly, “You need more practice!”
