Talia left in a state of disillusionment.
Back at the villa, she sat on her bed and looked over her account balance.
Thirty-five thousand, six hundred and seventy-eight dollars and ninety-nine cents.
That's all the savings she has today.
It is too little compared to 30 million.
"What are you looking at?" Bonnie asked curiously as she walked in with a fruit platter.
Talia immediately put the phone down, "Nothing, dazed."
"It's meditation, right?" Bonnie asked, "Stop meditating for a minute and come over and have some fruit."
"Good."
The fine imported fruit was sweet in every bite, but Talia couldn't get enough of it.
It's full of $30 million.
Even, she slowly opened her mouth, "Bonnie, can I ask you a favor?"
Bonnie nodded without hesitation, "Sure, what do you want me to do?"
"I'd like to borrow ...... a fetal book from you." The words came to her lips, but Talia changed her mind.
"Your baby is more than seven months old, so you must have read a lot of fetal education books. I'll borrow yours so I don't have to spend money on them." Talia explained.
Bonnie shook her head, "I really don't have this, but my grandfather seems to have bought a lot, you want to see it, find him to borrow it."
"Okay, I'll be there first thing in the morning." Talia nodded.
Bonnie stared at her for a long time and asked, "You don't seem right, is something wrong?"
Talia squeezed out a smile, "No, I'm fine."
"Aren't we good friends?" Bonnie inquired, "You can tell me anything, and as long as I can, I'll do my best to help you."
