“Yeah, let’s go home.”

Quincy caught up with Yulia. Yulia kept her head down, her face still pale.
Quincy asked carefully. “Did you really-
Before she could finish, Yulia cut her off sharply. “So you believe Becky instead of me?”
Quincy said. “No, I was just asking-
“I’m telling you, no! No! No! Becky is slinging dirt at me. How could she be so horrible?”
Yulia was crying, tears streaming down her face.
Quincy quickly tried to comfort her. “Yulia, don’t cry. I believe you, I swear I do. Becky didn’t even have any photos. She was bluffing. That woman is awful! I was just dumb and didn’t react fast enough. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have questioned you.”
Yulia choked back a sob and shook her head. “It’s okay. As long as you believe me. You’re my best friend.”
Quincy said, “I believe you. I’ll always be on your side.”
Yulia wiped her tears away and managed a small smile. Thank you, Quincy.”
Quincy hugged her. “Come on, let’s go eat. We’re not gonna let that bitch Becky ruin our good mood.”
“Yeah”
The next few days, Becky was slammed,
But she felt fulfilled.
All the recognition she was receiving made her proud.
One day, she got a call from Jose. After finding out she had come back from Circovia, he showed up at the clinic to see her
“Becky. I’m heading to Fendon in a couple of days. Let’s grab a meal
Becky felt a little awkward.
She had only casually mentioned the west and Fendon at the time. Jose had taken it seriously.
“Jose you don’t have to take what I said to heart. I was just talking casually.”
Jose said. “I know. But I still want to go
He didn’t really know what he wanted to do, had no clear goals.

When he heard jose was going to Fendon, he even supported it, and reminded him to stay safe.

Jose was going because he wanted to. Becky didn’t feel it was her place to say anything more.
“Have dinner with me.” Jose said. “Call it a sendoff.
Becky thought about it, then nodded.
Jose picked the restaurant.
It was a beautifully decorated bistro.
As soon as they entered, a server came over to lead them to a table by the window.
Jose handed Becky the menu. She picked two of her favorite dishes, and Jose added a few more before giving it back to the
server
Jose took a sip of water and looked up at Becky.
The girl he liked looked even prettier than before.
Becky caught him staring and cleared her throat.
Jose looked away.
“By the way, last time you said you found your family. Can you tell me more about that?”
Becky explained her relationship with the Shanks family
Jose
se was stunned.
“You’re the missing daughter of the Shanks family in Circoviar
“Yeah.”
Jose knew about the Shanks family. They were a major power.
The older generation was formidable, and the younger sons were impressive too.
Becky was actually the little princess of the Shanks family?
It was almost too much to believe.
He took a while to fully
ly process it.
“So.. what’s going on with you and Xavier?”
Becky took a sip of water. “Nothing
“You two didn’t get back together?”
Becky smiled “No.”
“Why not?”
Jose had assumed they were already back together. Xavier had been pursuing her so aggressively. Becky used to be head over heels for him. If Xavier crooked his finger, Becky would’ve come running back.
“There’s no particular reason, Becky said
Jose’s eyes lit up

“No
Becky shut him down immediately, not leaving even a sliver of hope.
Jose wasn’t happy. “You’re single right now. Why not give me a chance? Even if you don’t feel anything for me yet, don’t rush to reject me. You could keep me hanging, make me your backup”
Backups had a chance of becoming the real deal.
Becky rolled her eyes. Who volunteered to be a backup? Jose was out of his mind.
Things were already messy enough with Xavier. She didn’t want any more unclear entanglements.
Jose was a good guy. He deserved a better girl–not someone like her, who couldn’t give him what he wanted.
She was a good girl too. But she couldn’t give Jose what he needed.
She looked at him seriously. “Ldon’t need a backup.”
Jose looked crushed,
He couldn’t even land the role of backup.
