255 The reality that broke them

Long chapter

"I hate to have been the one to break it." Lucy sighed regretfully. She had thought all along that Natalie had ditched him for  his diagnosis from her reaction, she didn't even know about it. 

"What do you mean by that? What depression?" She questioned, on the verge of grabbing Lucy so she would tell her everything. 

"I thought you knew…" Lucy studied her expression. "Are you sure you want to find out from me and not from him?" She confirmed. 

"Just tell me." She was on the edge of her seat. 

Lucy sucked in a breath. This couldn't be easy no matter how simple she tried to make it. "Six months ago, I offered him a position at Twilight. I told him he could still keep his acting career and only work part time at Twilight. He rejected me." 

"What's that got to do with anything?" Asked Natalie, who wanted nothing but the truth about Devonte's medical condition.
