“I’ll go home as soon as I finish what I have to do here,” said Becky.
From the other end of the line, Stevie also felt a lump in his throat. “Okay. your mother and I are waiting for you.”
“See you, Dad.”
After hanging up the phone, Becky had to bury her face in her hands.
She was a grown woman now, but her parents still worried about her. And all because of her cruel husband.
Becky felt guilty towards her parents.
Jessie took the phone and waited quietly for Becky to let it all out.
Five minutes later, Becky gradually calmed down. Jessie handed her a tissue, which she accepted gratefully and wiped her tears. In a hoarse voice, she asked, “Can I borrow some marketing accounts from your cousin’s company?”
The famous Savoy Entertainment was under the management of Payne Walker, Jessie’s cousin. For the daily marketing of its stars, small companies under Savoy Entertainment had many marketing accounts.
Jessie was stunned for a moment. When she realized what Becky was really asking, she quickly unlocked her phone and muttered, “Wait. I’ll ask him right now!”
“Okay. Thanks.”
Becky’s weary, reddened eyes looked out the window and flitted over to the Crowbar Technologies’ building, and she smiled bitterly.
How could she have ever thought that she could make Rory fall in love with her?
She had tried for three whole years. Fortunately, she was able to realize that she couldn’t win his heart because it belonged to someone else.
It was probably for the best. At least she had figured it out before she had wasted more of her youth.
But all of a sudden, her expression darkened. All these years, she had taken the blame and suffered countless grievances. She wasn’t about to let this slide so easily.
As soon as Jessie finished talking on the phone, she turned her head and saw that Becky was staring out of the window absent-mindedly.
It was dark outside. Half of Becky’s face was enveloped in shadows.
Jessie could tell that her best friend was still depressed.
