Capítulo 389: New life

As Merl's love began to hearten, so were her fears. Before Nick finds about her identity through another source, she wished to tell him the truth, but the moment her lips parted to utter a word, they would automatically close in fright. 

Days passed. Nick was as caring as he was to her. On one day, while having breakfast, Merl spoke up.

''Nick, I wanted to tell you something important.'' 

''What is it, sweety?'' His gaze from the food shifted to her face.

Merl shyly smiled at his honey-coated words. She was contemplating telling him the truth about her identity, but in the end, she said. ''I have resigned from my job. In another week, I will complete my notice period as well.''

''What!'' Merl's sudden statement perplexed Nick. ''Why did you resign?''

''I am not feeling comfortable over there.'' Replied Merl, digging deep into her plate like crazy.
