Delia was an adult. She must have her own reasons behind whatever she was doing.
Furthermore, I believed every decision she made had gone through careful consideration and there would be no special incidents.
I still could not help worrying even if I comforted myself like this.
Instead of mulling over it here, it would be better if I went and clarified things with her. After making up my mind, I got up and set off.
Recalling that Delia loved fruits, I bought several kinds while I was on my way. Delia's home was not far from the company, and I arrived at her home in less than half an hour.
Knock, knock, knock! I knocked on the door gently.
Delia opened the door and was surprised to see me. "Wanda, why are you here?"
I smiled. "What’s wrong? Am I not welcome?"
"It’s not that."
Delia's features were scrunched, while surprise still colored her eyes. She quickly welcomed me in. "I'm just a little surprised to see you out of the blue. Come in, take a seat. I'll pour you a drink."
I handed her the fruits in my hand. “It’s fine. I thought you forgot about me since we hadn’t seen each other for a long time."
"Wanda, you're teasing me again. How could that be possible?" Delia poured me a glass of juice. "I’d forget anyone but you."
I pursed my lips and chuckled, feeling delighted. "That's good."
"Wanda, shouldn't you be busy in the company at this hour? Why did you come by all of a sudden?"
My purpose for coming here this time was to clarify the doubts I had, so I might as well start. "I thought you were acting a little strange and was worried about you. So, I came to visit."
Delia lowered her head, a look of sadness flashing across her eyes. "Wanda, you’re a good friend of mine, so I’ll tell you the truth."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Delia was a celebrity. Her identity was sensitive, she could not just tell anyone anything. Since she had chosen to confide in me, then I had to reassure her.
