Chapter Eighty-nine

leave a red stone.

After Isabelle had left, Nikita and Alexis had not bothered themselves to get up. They were just sitting there and l being lazy.

"Do you find silence comfortable sometimes it?" Nikita spoke as she stared at the distance. "Like sometimes you don't have to fill it?"

"Yes, " Alexis muttered. That was true. Sometimes not talking was just as effective. 

Alexis thought of what Julia had said. How old and bygone her thinking was. Even if Alexis had a child, which was not anytime soon, she would take a maternity break and bounce right back into the game.

She would be back in no time.

But she wondered how Julia could not keep up with the change in times. And appreciate the opportunities that everyone now received as compared to the most. Yet, she could just sulk about it. 

Nikita sighed, "Isobel did not come tonight, she is not immediate family and she tends to avoid the grandmother."
