"If you can't settle it by then, just let me know and I'll..."
Grace was interrupted by Lina Sweeney."You've helped me a lot yesterday, Grace. If it weren't for you, I don’t think Jason would’ve have saved me. I started all this mess with Hadwin Stephenson. I'll let him let it out on me."
Lina Sweeney put it mildly, but Grace was still worried. Could it be that simple?
"Hey, don't worry. Although I left Hadwin Stephenson without saying goodbye, I didn't kill someone or set fire to him, nor do I have a grudge against him. It was just a... one-night stand. I don't think he'll be too hard on me." Lina Sweeney reassured her best friend.
After all, it was already hard enough for her best friend to deal with Jason. She did not want her best friend to worry about her.
"However, if you have any trouble, do let me know!" Grace continued. "Even if I'm in no position to help, I can ask Jason. Maybe he'll help."
Grace was visibly embarrassed when she mentioned asking Jason for help.
Lina Sweeney knew that her best friend must have asked Jason to find her yesterday. How could she not understand what it meant to ask Jason for help!
Jason was like a nightmare to her best friend. Her darkest miseries were all caused by Jason.
However, in the face of her best friend's anxiety, Lina Sweeney smiled and said, "All right, got it." She only said this because she did not want her best friend to worry. As for the thing between her and Hadwin Stephenson, she would take care of it herself.
They continued talking for a while. Grace looked at the time. It was about time for her to go for the interview, so she got up to leave.
"Interviewing for a job as a food delivery rider?" Lina Sweeney asked.
