Chapter Refusing 96
Chapter 96
Throughow the morning, nothing Valerie said could attract Julia's attention. She remained despondent, resting her head on the desk. She didn't have the inspiration to make the design sketches Kathy asked for. During lunch break, Valerie noticed Julia's continued lack of e what was wi
The cafeteria was crowded, making it difficult for Julia to speak up. After hesitating for a moment, she leaned close to Valerie's ear and whispered, Have you ever had a wet dreamt
Valerie was taken aback at first. "Awet dreamn! You had onc
Julia quickly covered Valerie's mouth. "Keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid someone will overhear us? I meant to ask you, have you ever had a
wet dreamt
Valerie pried Julia's hand away and took a deep breath. She thought to herself that her voice wasn't that loud. It was probably Julia being too sensitive. "Having a wet dream is normal. Why are you reacting so strongly Haven't you ever hard one? Judging by Julia's reaction. Valerie knew she must be experiencing a wet dream for the first time. She pulled Julia closer and whispered, 1 had one in high school. Tada mush on a celebrity, and I dreamed about him"
"You had a wet dream in high school" Julia was utterly surprised. She couldn't believe what she was hearing from Valerie. Why did Valerie still seem proud of having a wet dream!
"Have you ever experienced the embarrassment of having someone find out about your
wet dream? It's like facing social death. I was so embarrassed at the time. Ive never done anything so shameful my whole life," Julia said, feeling like she was facing a death sentence and not wanting to revisit the details of that morning.
"Pit, having a wet dream isn't something to be ashamed of We're all adults, and having physiological needs is normal. Don't you have them?" Valerie asked. "Don't you and Harry ever."
Juha was speechless. How could she tell Valerie that she and Harry had never even held hands? They didn't have intimate interaction, and their relationship didn't allow room for any further development.
Julia" Valerie put her hand on Julia's shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't be so sensitive. Having a wet dream is no big deal. You don't need to act like you've done something wrong
After a pause, Valerie subconsciously connected Julia's abnormal behavior in the morning. "You were down because of this in the morning, weren't you? You're overreacting. I occasionally have wet dreams too. It's not just you and me. Other women have them too. Don't b
Julia was afraid that Valerie would ask someone else, so she hurriedly stopped her. Just then, Otis and Colin walked by Julia quickly gestured for Valerie to bush, and Valerie nodded understandingly.
"Valerie, welcome back, Otis said gently, but his eyes were on Julia.
Valerie shot Julia a knowing smile, but Julia's lips twitched, pretending not to see.
"Mind if we join you for lunch?" Oils asked.
Valerie replied, "Of course not"
Valerie didn't mind, but Julia thought of what Harry had said and felt like refusing. However, she couldn't find a suitable reason, so she chose to remain silent. Fortunately, Valerie didn't let Otis sit next to her. Julia appreciated Valerie's tactfulnes.
Valerie vividly recounted how she had spent the entire day yesterday, mentioning that she had been checking job listings after being dismissed. She received a call from HR asking her to work today.
Julia silently ate her meal, her mind not on Valerie's conversation. When her phone vibrated, she instantly picked it up, thinking it might be a message from Harry, However, it was just a regular news notification.
Satting opposite her, Otis didn't miss the disappointment that flashed across Julia's face. Half-jokingly, he asked, "Are you waiting for Harry's call?
Sering Julia's lack of response, Valerie nudged her arm discreetly. "Are you waiting for Mr. Wright's call? Did you two have a fight?"
"No. Don't worry," Julia replied calmly, then put her phone away. Her earlier actions might have made others suspicious
Julia didn't dwell on it. She had bumped into Harry frequently, and he kept messaging her on WhatsApp. Not receiving a message from him today felt strange to Julia. She had checked her phone countless times. Even Valerie asked, "You've been distracted all day. What's wrong? Did you really have a fight with Harry?"
Julia replied, "No. Do I really seem distracted?

Valerie nodded solemnly. "Anyone can see you're not yourself"
Julia subconsciously touched her face. Was she really showing it? She didn't even know what expression she had
"Here" Valerie said, pulling out a mirror. "Take a look. Don't you look like you have a lot on your mind?"
Julia glanced at herself left and right. It was all nonsense.
By the end of the workday, Julia still hadn't received a message from Harry. She had repeatedly clicked on his profile, wanting to ask if he was coming back tonight, but she hesitated. Why did she even want to ask!
It must be because Harry had been hovering around her so often lately, making her accustomed to his presence. Sitting in the car, she shook her head. It was all Harry's fault for appearing when she had nothing to do. Now, he forgot about her when he was hury.
Meanwhile, Arya looked at Hany with joy in her eyes. She had tried many times to find him, but he always used work as an excuse to avoid her. She knew if Harry didn't want to see her, she wouldn't have the chance to find him.
Now, staring at Harry, Arya's gare didn't waver for a miniir, Whatever Harry Wright did, her gaze followed him closely.
"What have you been so busy with lately that you don't have time for me? Arya rested her chin on her hands. Her eyes were full of affection.
"Company matters," Harry replied with a casual glance at Arya.
Arya said. "I wanted to come to the company to find you, but I was afraid you'd be angry, so I held back. I thought you'd come to me eventually, but I waited for you for so long and you never came. I thought you were with Julia" Appearing to express her grievances, Arya was actually trying to test Hary
Harry saw through her little trick. He poured her a glass of water. "My life isn't all about love and romance."
Arya said. "I know. I don't have to think this way, but I can't help it. If you don't divorce Julia soon, I always feel you'll fall in love with her"
Harry asked. "Are you that lacking in confidence!
"I just..." Arya paused for a few seconds. "I just feel like you've been acting strangely lately."
