Food was served shortly after, and Benjamin, out of habit, tried to fill Emmeline’s plate with food.
Emmeline tensed up. “Ben, you’re going to make my relationship worse.”
“Sorry.” Benjamin smiled sheepishly. “I’ll try to change.”
“You do. And you know who you should try it out with? Janie,” said Emmeline. “That’s the right thing todo.”
Benjamin gave it some thought and filled Janie’s plate instead, and Janie blushed.
“She’s been working well lately,” said Benjamin. “This is her reward. I believe she has no need for araise of her bonus.”
Janie almost spat her food.
Emmeline almost choked on herself. “What are you talking about?”
“Calm down, ladies. It’s just a joke,” Benjamin quickly said. And he speared a piece of meat for Janie.“Here. This piece looks great.”
Janie popped the piece of meat into her mouth, but then a wave of nausea overtook her. She held itdown and said, “I need to use the restroom.” She got up and made her way to the restroom, and sheleaned on the basin and threw up.
Or at least she wanted to. She came up with nothing but bile, and she went white. My period is late. Isthis morning sickness? Her heart started to thump furiously. What should I do? What should I tellBenjamin?
A worried Emmeline came looking for her. “Are you alright, Janie?”
Janie quickly turned on the faucet and pretended to wash her hands. “I’m fine, Em. Here for abathroom break too?”
“Just worried about you,” said Emmeline. “You didn’t look too good back there.”
“I’m fine. Let’s go back.” Janie smiled and wiped her hands on some tissue, then the ladies went backto the room.

The next day, Evelyn suddenly called. “I owe you a thank you, Emma.”
“Nothing much about that,” said Emmeline.
“But I’ve already reserved a room. Wanna have lunch?”
“No.” Emmeline refused to go. She had nothing to talk about with Evelyn.
“But I told my company’s top management we’d be there. They’re already here. Can’t you come?”
“I said no.”
“Aw, please? Can’t you indulge a friend?”
You are not my friend.
“I can pick you up. Are you at The Precipice?”
“Shut it,” said Emmeline impatiently. “I’ll ask Janie to come with me.”
“I was just thinking about that. We’re all friends here.”
We are not friends here. I do not want to have anything to do with you. Emmeline had a feeling Evelynwas up to something, and she wanted to check it out. Not like I have anything else to do anyway.
She called Janie. Janie was in her house, using the test kit she just bought from the pharmacy. Shewas in the bathroom, staring at the kit in disbelief. The results were positive. She was sure about it, andher legs gave out, her world spinning. I’m pregnant. “What should I do?”
She was starting to regret that time she took advantage of Benjamin getting drunk. It would be fine if hedid love her, but Benjamin made it clear that he had no romantic feelings for her.
