Vicky nodded lightly, and it was only then Jennifer dared to say, “Yes, that would be fine, sir.”
After the man swiped his card, Jennifer asked, “Sir, can you please leave your contact number?”
The man was silent for a few seconds before he recited a string of numbers.
Vicky’s eyes flashed.She did not recognize the phone number, so the man could not have been the mysterious
person who helped her.
However, she did not know which number he used to contact her before since it always came up as ‘Unknown
Number’ in the caller ID.
Therefore, even until this moment, she could not be sure whether the man sitting in front was the mysterious
person or not.
The man bade them farewell after they closed the deal, and he had drunk some coffee.
Before he left, he said, “My old phone number has been traced, so just call this number if you need to contact me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor anything in the future.”
Soon, Vicky got off work.She knew Tyler would not be home on this night since he had not come home for a few
nights in a row, so she thought that she might as well treat Jennifer to a welcome-back-to-work dinner.
That was what a good employer would do after all.
However, not long after she stepped into the restaurant, she received a call from Noah.
They had not been in much contact with each other, but on the times they did, Noah’s attitude toward her was a bit
evasive, and he rarely contacted her first.
Therefore, Vicky was a bit surprised that he would call her.
“Noah, why the sudden call? Is everything alright?”
Noah cleared his throat lightly and answered hesitantly, “Hey Vicky, umm…So I called you today to ask you
something.”
“Yes? Go on.”
“Umm, well…min a bit of a situation.I don’t have a lot of female friends which I’m sure you know about, so I didn’t
know who else to call but you.” xo.com Vicky became even more curious.
“Noah, what happened?”
“It’s like this…I have a female friend who has a good relationship with her husband and they’ve been living…ahem
.-happily with each other.But a few days ago, I saw her husband with…another woman when I was at a party with
my friends.”
Vicky immediately understood the dilemma he was in.
“And now you don’t know whether you should tell your friend?”
“Yeah…I mean, if I tell her, it’d seem like I was trying to break them up.On the other hand, I don’t want to keep my
friend in the dark.So I wanted to ask you…Do you think I should tell her?”
“I think you should.”
“But what if…they decided to get a divorce because of what I said?”
“Even if they did, it’s not your fault.It just means their marriage was already on the rocks.”
Vicky’s voice softened as she continued, “Besides, this kind of secret will come out eventually.If your friend is the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmkind that’s willing to lie to herself, it doesn’t matter whether you tell her or not.
“If you think that telling her will affect your friendship with her, then…all I can say is, while it might be true your
friendship will stay intact if you don’t tell her this time, there’s no guarantee that it’ll be the same next time
something like this happens again.
“A true friendship isn’t something that can easily be destroyed by telling the truth.But if you’re just so-so friends
with her and if you’re still feeling hesitant, you can tell her the truth in a roundabout way.”
Even after listening to Vicky’s advice, he struggled to come up with a decision.
“I’m not afraid that by telling the truth, it’ll affect our friendship, it’s just that…I don’t want to cross her husband ‘
cause I’m afraid he’ll take revenge on me.”
“If you don’t tell and your friend doesn’t tell, how in the world would the husband find out you were the one that
snitched on him?”
“Her husband has a lot of connections.I won’t be surprised if he found out that I was the one who told my friend
about him…” muttered Noah in a small voice.
Vicky did not quite catch what he said so she asked, “Noah, what did you say just now?”
“Nothing.” Noah snapped out of it and tried to cover it up.
“Umm…Like I said, I didn’t know who to ask so I asked you.You can forget all about it, okay?”
“No worries.This is no big deal.Glad to be of help.
