Unexpected Encounter with my Boss (Vincent and Tiffany)

William's question jogged Joyce's memory. She recalled the incident he was referring to.

He had only been about seven or eight at the time. Donald had been involved with another woman, and she came to the house with her pregnancy test.

Joyce had that woman move into one of the Lewises' properties in the suburbs. She even arranged for people to take care of her.

But two weeks later, the woman had a miscarriage.

Back then, William had witnessed Joyce adding something to the woman's food to induce a miscarriage.

"What are you doing, Mom?" he had asked.

She hugged him and replied, "William, everyone in the world makes mistakes. Your dad made one this time. That baby shouldn't exist. Since it's doomed to a life of tragedy, it shouldn't even be born. I'm saving it!" This incident occurred such a long time ago that even Joyce had forgotten all about it. She never thought William would still remember it. He even mimicked her actions as well!

The thought of that filled her with fear.

...

Tiffany spent the entire day attending job interviews. Once the last one ended, she got a call from Joyce.

Joyce asked if Tiffany could make the time to see her.

Sensing something from Joyce's tone, Tiffany agreed. After learning of Tiffany's current location, Joyce told Tiffany to wait there since she was in the vicinity.

Soon, her car pulled up in front of Tiffany. 15 minutes later, both women were seated in a fine-dining restaurant.

"Order anything you want, Tiff. It's on me," Joyce said. Although she was smiling, she looked like she had a lot on her mind.

"Okay," Tiffany replied. She placed her order with the waiter.

Still smiling, Joyce said, "It hasn't been long since I last saw you, but you seem to have lost some weight. Is work stressing you out?"

"No, it's fine," Tiffany answered. She didn't tell Joyce that she was looking for a new job. "Why did you want to see me today, Mrs. Lewis?"

Joyce sighed. "Tiff, I heard that you and Brianna used to be best friends. Your friendship only ended because of what happened with William, right?"

"That's right, but it's all in the past now. I've moved on from that, so you don't need to feel bad about it," Tiffany said.

Joyce nodded along, but she couldn't resist lamenting the situation.

"Donald and I were quite fond of you,

you know. It's a pity that William did

such a silly thing. He made a

mistake, so it's only right for our family to bear the consequences. After all, Brianna is pregnant with his child

now.

"And honestly, she's not really a bad person. Donald and I are willing to accept her into the family, but..."

With a brief silence, she asked, "Tiff, can I ask you to do something for me?"

"What is it, Mrs. Lewis?"

"Are you free tomorrow? Can you drop by the house and visit Brianna?"

Tiffany gave her a strange look.

"Mrs. Lewis, even though I've moved on from what happened, that doesn't change the fact that Brianna and William hurt me deeply with what they did. I would never choose to have any sort of dealings with them ever again."

"I know that..." Joyce said with a troubled expression.

"Did something happen, Mrs. Lewis?" Tiffany asked.

Joyce immediately teared up. Her hands were shockingly cold as she grabbed Tiffany's hand and said, "Tiff, please save William. If he carries on like this, I'm afraid he'll do something even more stupid." novelbin
