I couldn't bear to be apart from her, so I planned to quit my job and accompany her overseas. Then she suddenly said her boss was reconsidering the candidate.
It turned out that the whole reason for going abroad was that she was pregnant!
Next, she'd likely use my "scandal" as cover to finalize her plans to give birth abroad. Otherwise, how could she hide that belly?
Upon reflection, I couldn't help but admire their acting skills and endurance. She successfully kept it completely hidden from all our other friends.
Rosy had clearly known all along that she was carrying Anthony's child. That's why she'd been so desperate to protect him, why she smashed the cake, forced me to apologize, hurt me and drove me away.
After thanking my friend, I dialed Rosy's number.
It rang for ages before she picked up. The background noise was deafening, mixed with Anthony's hearty laughter and the jeers of others.
"Hello? Have you calmed down enough? Do you know you're wrong? I'm at Anthony's house. If you want to admit your mistake, come over and apologize in person and then you can take me home." Rosy's haughty voice dripped with impatience.
"Fine."
