Chapter 79: Assassins?
In the toy shop Talia followed Rebecca and seeing the various stuffed toys around, the inner child in her awakened. The second floor was all filled with stuffed toy in that section and the other section seemed to be newborn baby toys.
Even if this was a week day, the place was moderately filled with people, mostly women and some little kids who were shopping.
But seeing Rebecca picking up one of every stuffed animal with her eyes dead like a zombie with no soul, she felt bad and helped her sort out the ones she picked.
Surely she wouldn’t need to buy that many toys for the children. If she did, they’d need another car just for the toys.
Talia really couldn’t imagine the turbulence inside Rebecca’s mind. She could have a slight inkling of how she might feel but there is a little voice in her mind saying that maybe there should be more to Joe and Rachel’s relationship and it can’t be just romantic.
She really believed Joe is not cheating. He’d be a fool if he found some other woman to be attractive than Rebecca. And he won’t dare to lose everything he has just for an old flame. Divorces cost a lot. He is not that much of an idiot to lose everything. And that to for a woman who left him the moment he became an addict.
But she knew she cannot just say that to Rebecca now especially when she is so emotional. So she decided to talk to Joe about it first before deciding for sure.
Talia checked her phone once more to see if she could talk to Arthur but it seemed like there was still no network in her phone and she became a bit skeptical.
Talia looked around and it seemed like others were having network coverage. As she walked around, she could feel someone watching over her and she instinctively looked at the opposite building and with the bright noon sun right on her face, she couldn’t see much.
That was the Apollo International Building where most of the offices of big companies were located at. She didn’t know why she felt that weird feeling just then.
