It was about time that I went back to work, so I called Mr. Pearson to schedule a time to finish the final payment and sign the contract.
Jackie had fixed the meal when I finished the call.
She had to get to work, so I didn’t keep her to have dinner with me.
Seeing that she was in a hurry, I said, “I’m quite all right now. I’ve called Mr. Pearson to finalize the payment tomorrow. You can stay at the company and help me.”
Jackie scanned me and was a bit concerned, “Are you sure you are okay? Aren’t you supposed to rest for about a month after the abortion?”
I beamed, “Do I look terrible to you? Moreover, this matter will keep delaying if I don’t meet Mr. Pearson in person. How much of a loss would the company suffer? Dennis wouldn’t be just cold-shouldering me then.”
Well, I didn’t really get an abortion and if I kept on resting at home, things would get complicated between me and Dennis as my pregnancy belly would gradually show.
I got to make the best use of my time and leave Newton Town after settling everything.
