Joyce chuckled bitterly. “Things aren't as simple as you think, Nat. He hates me, so he wouldn't be with me even if he learned that I was the one he was with last night.”

“That...” Natalie's words soon got stuck in her throat. She couldn't deny that what Joyce said was highly possible.

“But what about you? Are you going to let it go just like that?” asked Natalie with a broken heart as she looked at Joyce.

Joyce massaged her bloating and aching temple. “Yeah, I am. I will regard last night as an accident. Stanley doesn't owe me anything, and I don't need him to take any responsibility. We'll just pretend that nothing has ever happened and continue to treat each other as enemies.”

Natalie comforted her best friend and gave her a warm hug when she saw how sad she was.

Joyce knew that Natalie was worried about her, so she returned her hug, patted her back, and said, “It's fine, Nat. I'm all better now. You should return to work.”

“Are you sure?” Natalie asked. She kept her eyes on Joyce and still seemed worried.

Joyce replied with a smile, “Yeah, I'm sure.”

“Okay, then I'll go back to work now, but promise me you'll come to me if you're not okay,” Natalie said while caressing Joyce's head.

Joyce wasn't sure if she should protest or laugh aloud when she saw how Natalie was treating her like a child. “I promise.”
