Chapter 96
Throughow the morning, nothing Valerie said could attract Julia’s attention. She remained despondent, resting her head on the desk. She didn’t have the inspiration to make the design sketches Kathy asked for. During lunch break, Valerie noticed Julia’s continued lack of energy and asked her
what was wi
The cafeteria was crowded, making it difficult for Julia to speak up. After hesitating for a moment, she leaned close to Valerie’s ear and whispered, Have you ever had a wet dreamt
Valerie was taken aback at first. “Awet dreamn! You had onc
Julia quickly covered Valerie’s mouth. “Keep your voice down. Aren’t you afraid someone will overhear us? I meant to ask you, have you ever had a
wet dreamt
Valerie pried Julia’s hand away and took a deep breath. She thought to herself that her voice wasn’t that loud. It was probably Julia being too sensitive. “Having a wet dream is normal. Why are you reacting so strongly Haven’t you ever hard one?
Judging by Julia’s reaction. Valerie knew she must be experiencing a wet dream for the first time. She pulled Julia closer and whispered, 1 had one in high school. Tada mush on a celebrity, and I dreamed about him”
“You had a wet dream in high school” Julia was utterly surprised. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing from Valerie. Why did Valerie still seem proud of having a wet dream!
“Have you ever experienced the embarrassment of having someone find out about your wet dream? It’s like facing social death. I was so embarrassed at the time. Ive never done anything so shameful my whole life,” Julia said, feeling like she was facing a death sentence and not wanting to revisit the details of that morning.
“Pit, having a wet dream isn’t something to be ashamed of We’re all adults, and having physiological needs is normal. Don’t you have them?” Valerie asked. “Don’t you and Harry ever.”
Juha was speechless. How could she tell Valerie that she and Harry had never even held hands? They didn’t have intimate interaction, and their relationship didn’t allow room for any further development.
Julia” Valerie put her hand on Julia’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Don’t be so sensitive. Having a wet dream is no big deal. You don’t need to act like you’ve done something wrong
After a pause, Valerie subconsciously connected Julia’s abnormal behavior in the morning. “You were down because of this in the morning, weren’t you? You’re overreacting. I occasionally have wet dreams too. It’s not just you and me. Other women have them too. Don’t believe me? You can
Julia was afraid that Valerie would ask someone else, so she hurriedly stopped her. Just then, Otis and Colin walked by Julia quickly gestured for Valerie to bush, and Valerie nodded understandingly.
“Valerie, welcome back, Otis said gently, but his eyes were on Julia.
Valerie shot Julia a knowing smile, but Julia’s lips twitched, pretending not to see.
“Mind if we join you for lunch?” Oils asked.
Valerie replied, “Of course not”
Valerie didn’t mind, but Julia thought of what Harry had said and felt like refusing. However, she couldn’t find a suitable reason, so she chose to remain silent. Fortunately, Valerie didn’t let Otis sit next to her. Julia appreciated Valerie’s tactfulnes.
Valerie vividly recounted how she had spent the entire day yesterday, mentioning that she had been checking job listings after being dismissed. She received a call from HR asking her to work today.
Julia silently ate her meal, her mind not on Valerie’s conversation. When her phone vibrated, she instantly picked it up, thinking it might be a message from Harry, However, it was just a regular news notification.
Satting opposite her, Otis didn’t miss the disappointment that flashed across Julia’s face. Half–jokingly, he asked, “Are you waiting for Harry’s call?
Sering Julia’s lack of response, Valerie nudged her arm discreetly. “Are you waiting for Mr. Wright’s call? Did you two have a fight?”
“No. Don’t worry,” Julia replied calmly, then put her phone away. Her earlier actions might have made others suspicious
Julia didn’t dwell on it. She had bumped into Harry frequently, and he kept messaging her on WhatsApp. Not receiving a message from him today felt strange to Julia. She had checked her phone countless times.
