Chapitre 195: A Rather Unfortunate, Unavoidable Truth

Noelle was beyond stressed about the situation with her mom. Larry had been incredibly kind to give her tissues and get her out of work like that but it was embarrassing that someone she saw so often caught her crying. 

She didn't know much about him. He was a programmer at BritTech based on his badge and seemed to be about her parents' age, maybe a little younger. He gave good tips too.
