Forget Me Not

Chapter 16

After Josh walked Allie to her apartment, he decided to have a few drinks at the bar. It was a habit he had when he was not feeling good. Sitting at the bar made him feel even more depressed at his relationship with Allie. He always felt that she was alot more shy but today proved it to be much more than that.

Josie was sitting at a table with a group of friends she met a few weeks back at the same bar. Her eyes glanced at the handsome guy that sat by himself at the bar. One of her friends seemed to notice "Go talk to that guy." Lisa (Angie Cheung) said brightly when she noticed Josie looking at the guy.

Josie smiled "Not my type." she shook her head. Suddenly a sly smile crossed her face "You hit on him." she pointed to her good looking friend Lisa.

Lisa snickered "Girl, I'm not that brave." the group laughed in agreement.

"No. Let me explain. He's actually a boyfriend of one of my good friends. I want to test him, he knows what I look like. So why don't you go." she pushed her friend.

Lisa debated it for a few minutes and ended up nodding "Sure, anything for a female friend." she got up and smoothed down her tight black dress. "Wish me luck." she gave Josie and the others a wink of the eye and went on her way.

Josh called for another beer when he felt a warm hand on his shoulders. He turned to see a sultry girl with a long dark maine, her black dress was tight enough to see every curve. "Yes?" he asked.

She leaned on the counter, letting her hand rest on his shoulder as she moved it down his arm ever so softly "Can you buy me a drink?" her voice was barely a whisper.

He nodded "Sure." he waved to the bartender. "Get her a beer." he ordered.

Lisa smiled seductively "Thanks, handsome. What's your name?" she leaned back at the counter while playing the sly one, her eyes locking with his.

"Why do you want to know?" he asked the question with another question.

She shrugged slightly "Just wondering. I like to thank the guys that buys me drinks."

"It's in the phone book. Look it up." Josh said sarcastically. He was a tee bit drunk.

"A guy with an attitude, I like that." she didn't seem faltered by his comeback. "My name is Lisa." she brought out a delicate hand for him to shake.

Josh looked at her hand as if it was some foreign object "What kind of name is...Lisa?" he asked, his drunken voice taking over. She could smell the alcohol on his breathe. She glanced over at Josie's table where some seem to be laughing at her defeat. She lifted her hand and made a cutting of the neck motion to Josie, indicating her failure to seduce her friend's boyfriend.

Josie nodded as she waved Lisa back, taking her place as she slumped on the stool next to Josh. "Hey." she said casually.

Josh looked up at her "What do you want?" he grunted.

"Nothing." she said defensively. "What's with all the alcohol?" she pointed to his empty shot glasses.

He lifted himself from the seat and turned to face her "When people are...sad...they drink." his words were dismantled.

Josie paused for a few seconds to clear out his words "Sad? You? Why? I mean you have a great girlfriend, not to mention your job as a delivery boy is as stable as it gets."

Josh was only sober enough to catch the fact that Josie did not know of his identity. "You don't like me do you?"

She laughed brightly "Like you? I can barely tolerate you." she was being brutally honest "But what can I do? Allie likes you, eventhough I don't agree with your relationship-"

He stared at her strangely as he cut her off "What do you mean by that?"

"Don't get me wrong, it's just our first impression was not that good. All that bickering? It was fun, don't you admit?" she said lightly.

He chuckled in his drunken stage "Fun...I'm not sure what that means anymore."

"Oh come on, don't get all drama queen on me. No one's life is any better or worse than yours." she said a matter of factly.

"Tell it to the judge." he pointed to the sky.

Josie sighed "Look, just because I don't like the fact that you're dating Allie, doesn't mean I have to hate you. If you have something to talk about, you can tell me. But you don't have to trust me..." her words were totally contradicting each other but it gave Josh peace of mind.

"She doesn't even like me, so why is she even with me?" he muttered.

Josie's smile brightened "She doesn't like you?"

Josh glared at her through blood shot eyes "Can you smile a little wider?"

She quickly dropped her smile "Sorry. Go on." she leaned in closer for him to continue his expressions.

"Why do girls say they like someone when they actually like another person?" he asked almost with frustration.

Josie sighed "That's women for you." he rolled his eyes and she knew it wasn't helping. "Look, sometimes feelings are expressed through gratitude or pitiness. But it doesn't make it unreal. Maybe she does like you...in her own little way. Have you tried talking to her about it?"

"If I didn't, I would not be sitting here drinking my life away and talking to a person that can barely tolerate me." Josh sighed.

"I see..." she began to feel sorry for the guy. She felt that he really did like Allie, maybe even more than she could imagine. "Look, if you want, I'll talk to her for you."

He looked at her with pure suspicion "How can I trust you?"

She shrugged while getting off the stool "You don't have to, maybe I'm just out to get you. To make your life a living hell...." she threatened with a smile. "Take care, and stop drinking, you won't be able to drive home." she smiled and left him in his own misery.

He smiled to himself, it was a while since a girl made him smile. Well, everyone but Allie.

*****************

The next day at the restaurant, Josie had a change of attitude. She was not all over Sunny like how she normally was, instead she tried to talk to Allie as much as possible. "Hey, how are you two doing?" Josie asked, when she took her break at the same time Allie did. Allie had a habit of sitting by the back door while staring into space.

"Good..." she said slowly with a smile. "Its been a while since we talked, Josie. How are things with Sunny?" she knew it was a touchy subject but she wanted to clear the air after the encounter with Sunny in the street the other night.

Josie waved her hand carelessly "Oh that, I'm over it. It was never anything to begin with..." she stopped when she realized what she was saying.

"What?" Allie shook her head, not sure if she heard correctly.

"Okay, so we never dated...or never will for that matter." Josie wrinkled her nose in disgust "Yuck, its like dating your brother."

Allie laughed "That's what I thought, but seeing you guys all lovey dovey. I thought maybe it was a friendship turned to love."

She shook her head vehemently "Never!" she said firmly. The girls laughed comfortably "I saw Josh yesterday night." she tested the subject carefully.

Allie stopped smiling instantly at the sound of her boyfriend's name "Where?"

"At the bar not far from here. He seemed really upset." Josie said slowly.

She looked up at Josie with caring eyes "About me?" she guessed it on the nose.

"Yeah. He thinks you like Sunny." Josie said straightforwardly "I think he's right too."

"I don't deny there is definite feelings for him, but I can't...there's something oddly wrong about being with Sunny that just bothers me. I can't seem to figure it out." Allie said.

"Maybe you're afraid of fate?" Josie questioned.

ALlie smiled "I thought you didn't believe in that mumbo jumbo?"

"He grows on you." she quirped "Anyways, he does have a point, Josh I mean. Why be with someone you have no feelings for? Its not fair to him or to yourself."

"I know. That's why I feel guilty and if I break up with him, I will feel even more guilty that I led him on. It's not fair that he likes me and I can't do the same for him." Allie argued with herself.

"Love is not about being fair. Ever hear of 'all's fair in love and war'?" Josie asked, Allie nodded "Well, this is not the case. Because it is not fair."

Allie smiled "YOu make much more sense when you are not laughing about everything." she teased her friend. Josie gave her a pout that made her laugh "What would I do without you? My voice of reason?" she gave her friend a hug "Okay, I promise, I will treat him like a boyfriend. If my feelings are still not there, I will break it off. Nothing like giving love one last chance."

Josie nodded in agreement "That's the strong Allie we know and love! Go and get him!" she giggled happily as the girls came back to work.

Later that afternoon, Josh dropped by to see Allie. She gave him her brightest smile "Hey there stranger!" she leaned up and gave him a peck on the cheek.

He froze in his place "Was that a kiss?" he asked with a grin.

Allie laughed "No, that was a peck on the cheek."

"Hmm...how about that kiss?" he asked.

Josie was within ear shot when she snorted "Oh please. Get a room."

JOsh looked up to catch her wink at him. He smiled gratefully "Let's go to dinner." Josh asked Allie.

"Sure, just us two?" Allie teased, knowing that it would probably be just the two of them.

Josh's face fell "Actually, my parents want to see you. My mom actually..." he added sadly.

Allie knew the day would come to meet his family officially. "Okay." she said without hesitant.

His brows ruffled "Really?" she nodded firmly "After all my dad said to you?"

She smiled "After he told me I wasn't allow to see visit you in the hospital." she corrected.

He nodded "Yeah, I almost forgot about that one."

Allie laughed "Wish me luck."

"You mean wish US luck." Josh said. He gave Josie a quick wave of the hand as the two left for their dinner date. Allie gave a silent prayer to help keep her sanity when facing the devil himself, Mr. Lai.

Chapter 17

While Allie and Josh headed off to have dinner with his family, Phoenix Inn was occupied with customers. Sunny was busy working on the books when he looked up in time to see a whole crew enter the restaurant. With equipment to shoot a movie or maybe a scene. He saw Nick within the crowd talking to the director maybe.

He waited paitently until his parter could pull away from the director. Nick gave his friend a broad smile "I need a huge favor." he said without greeting Sunny.

"Sure, it's half yours." Sunny shrugged casually.

Nick laughed "Great I thought you would disapprove."

"What are you filming?" Sunny asked while the crew set up the cameras and lightings.

"The restaurant we were going to use bailed out at the last minute. Some wedding or something of that sort, I couldn't think of any other place, plus the director said we needed to shoot this scene tonight." Nick quickly explained. He tried to ignore the waving hand coming from the producer.

"Sure, use whatever you need. Including the employees, any role for a handsome manager?" Sunny gave his friend a wink indicating that he was teasing.

Nick smiled slyly "Sure, if you are willing to play a gay waiter...there is a role for a waitress and I actually hit on her to make my girlfriend jealous."

Sunny wrinkled his eyebrows "Girlfriend?" he glanced around and did not spot any other actresses.

"Yeah. Athena Chu will be coming by in a minute, she was notified late of our changed shoot." Nick smiled at his friend who looked interested "Are you star struck? Forgetting Allie so soon huh?"

"I can dream can't I?" Sunny and Nick laughed together.

The producer could no longer wait as he interrupted their conversation "Nick, the director wants to go over the scene with you." he said hastily.

Sunny smiled understanding "Just let me know if you need anything." He returned to his place behind the counter and continued with his books for the restaurant. He was struggling over a problem that didn't seem to match up when he calculated the earnings for last month. He began to feel frustratated as he combed his fingers through his hair.

"Need help?" Amy's sweet voice asked as she leaned over the counter to see what he was doing.

"Tell me about it. I've been at this calculation for hours and I can't find the nitch." Sunny welcomed the interruption. "Are you good with math?" Amy shrugged with a smile "Take a look at this." he handed her the paper work.

"I'll try." she looked down at the paper and began punching in numbers from the calculator. Within minutes she figured it out "You forgot to add the produce charge for these three days." she pointed at the paper.

Sunny stared at her in awe "You did it?" she nodded with a grin "I can't believe it. Gosh, I know why I failed every math class I ever took. Would you like a job, Amy?" he teased.

"Sure." she smiled brightly "Anything to help you, since you were so kind to help me."

"Really?" he asked, he knew her job as Nick's assistant was very time consuming but if she did the restaurant's accounting it wouldn't take too long to finish it each month. "I don't want to steal you away from Nick, but I just need someone to help me out with the books once a month."

Amy smiled "Is that all? I think he'll understand since I barely have much work while I'm with him." they both laughed at the inside joke.

The producer must have heard her comment since he was within earshot. He spoke loud and clear for everyone to hear "Nick, sounds like you're paying someone to bullshit all day." he snickered towards Amy.

Amy's smile disappeared as she looked up at Sunny apologetically "Back to work." the sarcasm in her voice proved that her days at work with Nick wasn't exactly great.

Nick was quick to defend his assistant "Hey Lung, why don't you worry about your work before you worry about others." his stern voice proved to voice over the producer's.

She threw Nick a grateful glance as she set up his chair and drink. The director was ready to film as soon as Athena Chu showed up. She was obviously trying to disguise herself, wearing a black trench coat and huge black sunglasses. A cap that covered her long mane that she's been growing out. Everyone seemed to pause as the petite actress entered the room. She gave everyone a quick smile as she got straight to work.

Nick was ready to start while the director breezed over the scene with Athena. He walked over to Sunny "Can I borrow my favorite waitress?" he didn't notice that Allie wasn't around.

Sunny frowned "Not your day, my friend. She just left to have dinner with Josh's family. Why don't you use Josie?" he pointed to his friend who stood nearby.

Nick was contemplating whether or not she was right "Hmm, I can't see myself flirting with her." he said honestly.

"Me neither." Sunny quipped. He saw Josie throwing daggers in his direction as he stopped smiling. "How about Rain?" Nick shook his head "That's all my waitresses." he patted his friend on the shoulder "Sorry, I couldn't help." he looked around and his eyes caught on Amy, who was watching intently at the director, she was always interested in that stuff. "How about Amy?"

A slow smiled crept on Nick's face, "I don't know why I didn't think of her!" he rushed over to ask Amy. "Amy." she quickly looked up to see what he needed "I need a favor."

"As long as it's in my job description, I will help you with anything." she said brightly.

He laughed "I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it in our contract....but...well, I need you to play a waitress. Just a short two sentence role. You ask me what I want to order and I say, you if it's possible. You look at me and say Excuse me. I give you a wink and slide you my number. It's part of my role to get Jackie, Athena's role who is my girlfriend to be jealous."

Amy wrinkled her forehead "I'm not sure if I can do it, Nick. I've never acted before."

He frowned "You have to help me, I have no one else, the girl that was suppose to play the role just bailed out at the last minute and I would chose any of the other waitresses, but they're not as good looking as you." he gave her his shinest of smiles.

She laughed with her head shaking "Alright, you talked me into it. But I'm warning you, I'm horrible at reading lines."

Nick raised an eyebrow "Sweetie, it's just two short sentences. I'm sure you can do it." he patted her on the shoulder "Come on, let's get you a uniform.

****************

At Josh's house, the atmosphere was so thick that you can cut it with a knife. The only good outcome of the dinner was the fact that Mrs. Lai was very much interested in Allie, since she had a good impression on the first time they met. Mr. Lai continued to be as rude as can be, but he was more tolerable this time.

Josh's brother came in about an hour late for dinner. He was flushed in the face, maybe from his earlier drinking rendevous with some call girls. He was a player and the newspaper constantly proved it with pictures. Allie threw Josh a glance when Joey (Ma Tak Chung) stumbled through the door.

Mrs. Lai was the first to rush to her youngest boy "Joey, you're home. Come and have dinner." she linked her arm through his and supported him to the dinner table, where he was seated next to her. "This is Allison, your brother's girlfriend." the lady of the house was quick with the introductions.

Joey looked up and turned away without acknowledging Allie's smile and nod. He quickly barked to the maid "Where's my bowl of rice?!"

Mr. Lai was calm as he waved to the maid to fetch it for his obvious spoiled younger son "Why don't you kids talk after dinner? Josh, you have not spent much time at home after you started with your new relationship."

"He changes girls more than his clothes." Joey said rudely. Never did Allie imagined that her first encounter with Josh's brother would be so negative.

She smiled gently "That's soothing to know." she turned to Josh who was scowling. She quickly reached under the table and gave his hand a little squeeze. He quickly caught her eyese as they smiled, knowing that the dinner would not happen again. He would not make her survive another one of the torture sessions.

After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Lai turned into bed early leaving their kids to talk and try to bond. Josh knew of the attempts too much, they constantly tried to get them to talk but it was like pulling teeth for Josh. He had absolutely nothing in common with Joey.

The room was quiet until the phone rang, the maid returned and told Josh "It's for you, Sir."

Josh smiled as he patted Allie on the hand "I'll be back." he whispered and left the room.

Joey finally smiled at her "So Allison, what do you do?" he spoke her name with a surupy tone.

She smiled "I'm a waitress." she spoke it with much confidence now.

"Really?" he raised his eyebrows with interest. He got up and moved his seat next to Allie. Maybe a little too close. "I didn't know my brother liked low class, low payed girls. I would have introduced him to a bunch of them at the night club I just came from."

She felt uneasy as he leaned in close enough to smell the alcohol he had "I may have low pay, but at least I enjoy what I do." she didn't mean to snap at him but it came out that way.

Joey belted out a fake and sarcastic laugh "You look awfully familiar, are you sure you don't work at the Pussycat Club?" his lips were centimeters away from her own.

Allie quickly stood up "Look, I came here out of respect for my boyfriend, if you will not respect me as a person, why should I stay here and listen to this?" her face was steaming red.

He laughed comfortably with his head nodding "I like you. Too bad my brother got you first." he spoke like she was a piece of meat. "Maybe when he's done with you, I'll take the leftover?"

She was disgusted by the rude remarks, she thought Mr. Lai was bad but his son was 10 times worse. "Excuse me." she walked briskly away towards the den, where Josh was finishing his business call.

He was looking frustrated when he hung up the phone but the minute he saw Allie, a bright smile came over his face. She was relieved to see the friendly face "Miss me already?" he teased.

She laughed and hugged him "Your brother is a charmer." her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"I see you had a quick liking to him." he responded with the same sarcasm. He let out a sigh as he embraced her "How about we get out of here?"

"I thought you'd never ask." Allie said with obvious relief as they left the house, only nodding at Joey.

He ignored his brother completely as he threw Allie a dashing smile "I'll see you soon, Allison."

She only nodded, trying to ooze out the last inch of respect for Josh's brother. During the drive back to Allie's home, Josh asked her "I know I shouldn't bother to ask since I know the answer. But how was dinner?"

Allie smiled "All I can say is thank God for your mom. And you too." she quickly added.

He laughed "I'll drink to that!" he suddenly remembered his brother's comment to Allie before they left "Was Joey rude to you?" he asked cautiously.

She pushed out a smile "No. He was fine." she assured him, although it didn't even sound convincing.

Chapter 18

The next day at work, Allie seemed more than preoccupied. She made three wrong orders and switched two easy orders around. Sunny noticed something wrong the minute he caught her mistake, it was unlike her to do such a thing "Allie!" he called to her after a customer complained about his wrong order. She walked over looking unfaltered by the situation "What's wrong with you?" he asked with concern. "You never make mistakes."

She looked up "No one's perfect."

He sighed "Okay, now I know something's definitely wrong. Tell me."

She looked around for an escape route. Her only chance was Steve who walked through the door in a silver shiny suit. "Nothing. Sunny, I want to get back to work. I'll be more careful next time." she added before rushing off to greet Steve. "Hi Steve!" she said brightly.

He took a step back and put up his guard "What are you going to do to me?" he said with fear in his voice.

She twitched her head to the side "What do you mean? I'm not going to harm you. I just wanted to seat you."

He eyed her carefully "Something's wrong." he said with observation.

She laughed nervously "Of course not!" she wondered how even Steve noticed.

"First of all, you have not made a comment on my suit." he brushed off a lint that landed on his left shoulder "Second of all, you are in a hurry to help me. Lastly....I...well, I can't think of it right now. But I know something's wrong."

Allie groaned "Stop trying to be observant. Nothing is the matter, what is wrong with you people?" she quieted her voice when a few people turned to look at her. "Sorry." she closed her eyes and inhaled a deep breath "Let's start over. What can I do for you sir?" she gave her most professional smile.

"I want my waitress back." Steve frowned "You're scaring me."

She rolled her eyes "Do you want to eat or what?" her tone very much frustrated.

He smiled "That's my girl." he nodded "I would like a table by the window please."

Allie looked around and they were all taken "Sorry, they're all full. Would you settle for a special room?"

Steve pouted "Can't you kick some people out of the table or something?" he turned and found a couple beginning to leave, he pointed to that table "That one's open." he didn't wait for Allie to seat him or even have the bus boy clean off the table as he seated himself. He let out a comfortable sigh "I like this seat."

She waved for the bus boy and he quickly cleared the table for Steve. Allie picked up the receipt and asked "What would you like to eat?"

"Anything you recommend." he smiled.

She tilted her head "You're not Nick, I can't just conjure up something and hope you'll like it. You're pickier than he is." she said straightforwardly.

"I resent that. I am as much not picky as Nick is." he argued.

She smiled "Now that did not make any sense." he crossed his arms as she nodded "Okay, I give up. How does peiking duck with snow peas sauteed in garlic sauce sound?"

Steve nodded with obvious approval "Perfect."

She collected his menu and began towards the kitchen when she turned back to him "Nick is meeting you today?" she only wondered why he didn't take the special room.

He shook his head "No. I don't have to meet him to eat here do I?" she shook her head "Actually, I'm waiting for this girl to pass by. She works across the street in that building." He pointed to the high rise building.

Allie nodded "I see. I thought you were married?" she asked confused.

"Divorced now." he put up his unringed hand.

She concealed a laugh "I wonder why." she walked away before he could say anything else. After a while, his food came as Allie served the dishes "Still no girl?" she asked when his eyes were glued to the life outside.

He shook his head "I guess she's not working today." he sighed but began eating his lunch.

Allie shrugged her shoulders helplessly "Well, if that's all you need, I'm gonna go on my break now." he waved her away as she took off her apron and hung it on her spot in the kitchen. She walked to the back door and was suprised to see Josie there.

"I've been waiting for you." she had pulled out two comfortable chairs for them "Have a seat."

Allie sat down happily "So what's up? I take it you want to ask me what everyone has been asking me?"

She nodded "Smart. No wonder Sunny likes you." Alli's smile turned to a frown at the comment "Sorry. I didn't mean-"

Allie shook her head "No, no problem...." she paused before she began talking about her dinner experience with the Lai's "Remember when I told you about Josh's dad?"

Josie rolled her eyes "Yeah, I wish I was there to tell him off." she recalled the situation her friend had to be in to visit Josh at the hospitatl.

"Well, you thought he was bad. His son, Joey is a hundred times worse, and I'm NOT exaggerating." she let out a sigh, happy to finally tell someone.

Josie looked thoughtfully at Allie "Did youi tell Josh how you felt? What did Joey say to you exactly?"

Allie snickered "He basically called me a whore." Josie clapped her hand over her mouth in disbelief "It gets worse. He said after Josh is done with me, he'll take over."

"UGH! That sicko! You have to tell Josh." she urged.

"NO!" she shook her head vehemently "His relationship with his younger brother isn't good already. If I crush that last bit of hope, they will never get along." she had her reasons, but Josie felt different about the situation.

"Look at it this way, if this big headed egotistical chauvenistic pic tries something with you, Josh would be the first to defend you right?" Allie nodded and Josie continued "So if he doesn't even know his rude comments or intentions, how will he ever protect you?"

Allie nodded "I guess you're right. But I don't think I should tell him just yet. I mean, he told me I don't ever have to see them again."

Josie looked a little more relieved "I guess. But promise me that you'll tell him one day." Allie nodded with a smile. "Good girl." she patted Allie's head like a puppy. "Okay, so how is it going with Josh?"

Allie was tried to find the right word but only ended up say "It's going...good."

"You know what I mean Allie." Josie pushed "I mean your feelings for him. Are they there?"

"I don't know. Maybe I need more time? But he is sweet to me." she added. Josie frowned and she knew it wasn't a good enough answer. "I know it seems like I'm playing with his feelings, but it's hard to tell. We don't see each other enough."

Josie nodded "I see your point. But I hope you will be true to your feelings." she eyed her friend firmly "It's not fair for anyone, especially you."

Allie smiled "You sound more like my mother by the day."

The girls laughed "I guess, she's a beautiful lady then." Josie quipped.

Allie tightened her lips "Hmm, not really. Her nose is small, her eyes are small and her lips are small...hmm, I guess you two do look alike." she teased her friend openly. They both laughed while Josie began beating up her friend.

****************

When they returned from their breaks, they found Amy and Sunny talking in a deep conversation. There were a few laughs and giggles. Josie looked at them suspiciously while Allie walked by with a polite smile and nod at the two of them.

Josie had a different idea as she tried to evesdrop on the conversation. She began to shift slowly closer towards Sunny's back. He knew what she was trying to do as he covered her face with her hand and pushed her roughly away "Get back to work you little nosy kid!"

She struggled to get his plastered hand off her face "Ew! I'm gonna get pimples now!"

He raised an eyebrow "You won't get a boyfriend with that face anyways."

She rolled her eyes "Don't be sour because you can't get the girl you want."

He turned to Amy, who smiled sheepishly at their little argument "There is no business for you here. Run along now." he pushed her roughly.

She stuck out her tongue and walked over the next waiting customer. She quckly took their order and walked over to Allie and whispered. "I almost overheard what they were saying. If you can diverge his attention, I'll get the girl to talk."

Allie laughed with her head shaking "Josie, I don't really care what they are talking about. It could be business for all we know. If he wants to tell us, he'll tell us."

Josie looked at her friend with disgust "How did you become so righteous?" She flipped her head at her friend "You are not the girl I met in Hawaii!" she walked away with her head in the air.

Allie continued to laugh, her friend was such a clown sometimes. But in all honestly if it wasn't for Josie, she would still be confused or even more confused. For the rest of the night, she tried hard to concentrate on her work and Sunny was relieved when she made less mistakes.
