"I suddenly got into a strange pain," Amelie said. Then, shaking her head, she continued, "It's over. I'm completely fine."
"You could've called us," Flora replied.
"I didn't wish to trouble more people," Amelie answered. "If you tell Mom and Dad, they both will worry about me."
"I won't tell them if you don't wish to," Flora stated.
"Thank you for understanding," Amelie said. "I'll tell Gabriel about your meeting with the strange woman. Let's get assured first about her identity before taking any step."
"Okay." Flora picked up the bowl of dry fruits. "Try some."
Amelie only picked a few almonds. "I will only eat this much," she replied. As she took one almond into her mouth, she asked, "How did your interview go?"
"Ahh, not that good. I didn't get any response. I don't think I made it," Flora said, sighing. "I'll try somewhere else. Dad was telling him to use his resources, but I refused. I wanted to do it myself without using Dad's name," she asserted.
