"Mm, Aunt Clare, I know. I'll take good care of myself. Yeah, don't hesitate to spend that money. I'm doing pretty well now, and the company's treatment of me is getting better and better. Alright, you take care too. When I have a vacation, I'll come back to T City to see you!"
After ending her conversation with Aunt Clare, Becca took a deep breath. Lying really isn't my forte, she sighed inwardly.
Becca glanced up at the clock on the wall; the hour hand had already reached ten.
Thinking of the phone call she had made to Howard Geoffrey during the day, she sneered disdainfully.
Humph! I knew he wouldn't come back, so I called him deliberately... His mouth must be twitching with anger right now, right?
