I called the general manager and asked, "Ms. Lily, is there still a chance for me to be transferred to the headquarters?"
I was offered a promotion to headquarters because of my outstanding work a week ago. Still, I turned it down because I was pregnant and didn't want to be separated from Julian. Now, none of that mattered anymore.
"Scarlett, weren't you pregnant? Don't worry about work right now. Rest well and take care of yourself. There will be other chances in the future."
Hearing Lily's gentle voice, I breathed deeply to calm myself. "Ms. Lily, I lost the baby. I'd like to return to work as soon as possible."
There was a brief silence on the other end before she spoke. "I'll add your name back to the list. Losing a child isn't a small thing. Rest for a week and then report to headquarters."
I agreed softly, my voice trembling a little. "Thank you, Ms. Lily."
During my week in the hospital, Julian never came to visit.
Maybe he didn't even realize I was still pregnant. I wasn’t surprised; that was just how he was. I used to make excuses for him all the time, but not anymore.
