Or maybe, she just didn't want to hear the truth.

What if the truth hurt more than her ignorance?

If she could just keep in mind that he could risk his life to save her, then even the girl he had in his heart didn't matter that much.

Besides, it was perfectly normal for him to have several secrets, right?

He was a big healthy man. It was normal if he was with a few other women before her.

Despite all that she told herself, she still needed some time to digest and then forget what she heard.

She pulled herself together and walked into the dining room with a fresh smile on her face.

Alick and Willie were already seated, but they hadn't started eating yet.

“Isaac is taking care of Joe. We can eat first," she said as she took her seat.

“Why don't we just wait for.

“We don't have to, it's fine." She scooped up some food and put into her mouth.

“Come on, eat up. He'll join us when he can."

They couldn't refuse after this. So, they started eating.

“Do you want to drink?" she asked some time into the meal.

Willie didn't answer because he didn't have a problem. He could drink, same as he couldn't.

But Alick shook his head and said politely, "I can't. I have work tomorrow, and getting drunk will only draw me back."

Camila nodded and let it go. She only asked out of politeness.

After they went back to eating, Alick's phone suddenly rang. He stood up and went to the Living room to answer the phone.

Camila glanced at him until he was out of earshot.

Alick was a more thoughtful and cautious man than Willie.

If she wanted to find out who that girl was, Willie was her only shot. She placed a dish in front of him and said with a smile. "Glenda's fish is more delicious than the ones in restaurants. Eat enough, okay?"

Willie was both surprised and flattered by her actions, but he still picked up a piece of the fish

Just as she had said, it really was delicious, and he appreciated it “This is yummy."

She held her fork a little tightly and asked, "How long have you been working for Isaac, Willie?"

His voice was a little muffled since he had food in his mouth. "It's been really long since I've been working with him. I can't quite remember when I started.”
