Talia, who was sitting next to Becky, stole a glance at the latter and was about to ask if she was okay. However, when she saw the smile on Becky’s face, she knew that Becky was just fine.
Indeed, before she became Stevie’s secretary, she used to think that his daughter was like a princess who had never been out of the castle, delicate and naive.
But when Talia started working for Stevie, she realized that Becky was not a delicate princess, but a cool and collected queen.
In the three years Becky wasn’t talking to Stevie, Talia had heard a lot about her from Stevie.
At the time, Stevie might’ve been angry with his daughter because he thought Becky was acting too willfully, so he often ranted to Talia about her. But in the end, he always sighed and said, “What a willful girl!”
Before Talia came to work for Becky, she had a very vague image of Becky. If what Stevie said was true, Becky was a domineering queen and would never let anyone bully her.
But now that Talia had spent a lot of time with Becky, she finally had a better image of who this woman truly was.
Becky was indeed different from other ladies. Although she was spoiled by Stevie and Vivien growing up, that didn’t mean she was naive and gullible. In fact, her way of doing things was even similar to Stevie’s.
But it was true that Becky had suffered a lot in her marriage to Rory.
So every time Becky ran into the Casper family, Talia couldn’t help but worry that Becky would get hurt.
Becky was more decisive and tenacious than many people, but love could blind a person, rendering them a fool.
What Talia feared most was that Becky would forgive Rory if the latter wanted her back.
Noticing Talia kept glancing at her throughout the ride, Becky raised her eyebrows and asked, “Is there anything on my face?”
Embarrassed, Talia answered quickly, “No.”
“So why do you keep staring at me?” Becky asked.
