CHAPTER 148
The Epiphany 8
“Why was she not online?”
“Was she attacked on her way home?”
“Is she still crying?”
For those reasons, he defiled every pride in him and gave her a call, which she picked with a rush and greeted.
“Hello, Henry. It is good to hear from you.”
“Hello, Harriet. Why are you not online? I have been expecting you.”
“It is all right. I will come online now.”
“Wait. Why were you not online as usual?”
Now, Harriet was at a loss of the right response to give, so she maintained that she was going to log in, but Henry’s next question helped her out.
“Are you still crying because I had my lunch elsewhere today?”
“What! Did you see me crying?”
“Not at all. I saw you singing.”
Harriett laughed heartily and Henry laughed along with her too. Then she asked.
“On a serious note, why did you not show up as usual?”
“I was with Mr. Fields, besides, I did not know that you will notice my absence.”
