Janessa had just put her luggage into the back of the taxi when a man in his thirties stopped her. In a dark gray suit, he looked like a man of learning, elegance, and gentleness.
With rich experience and status, the man at his age was extremely manly. His every move could attract many inexperienced young girls, causing them to flush out of adoration.
Janessa was one of those girls back then.
Warren looked at her and asked, "What happened? Why do you suddenly ask for leave? Something happened at home?"
Janessa wouldn't say anything and bowed to close the trunk.
"You are not allowed to leave before you make it clear!" Warren directly moved the luggage down.
Janessa stared at him in disbelief. "Who do you think you are? It has nothing to do with you!"
"I am your boss!" Warren did not want to be embarrassed on the busy street. He grabbed Janessa and carried the suitcase towards the apartment. "You have to make it clear before you go. What happened?"
Janessa couldn't break free from his hand and was dragged back. She stopped downstairs, where no one was beside her. Warren stood there and asked, "Did your family force you to go back?"
Janessa shook her head tiredly.
Warren hugged her and said softly, "Give me some time. I..."
Janessa leaned on him and said faintly, "Forget it. We are done."
"I know you annoy me, but I..." Warren hugged her tightly, "I feel responsible for our child and family. I don't want to..."
"Then take the responsibility." Janessa pushed him away and said mockingly, "Liar."
Warren lost countenance and he instinctively grabbed Janessa's arm. "What exactly happened? If you need help, I can go with you."
"Go with me?" Janessa looked at him and said ironically, "What's your role? My boss or my lover?"
"No matter what, I am your man," Warren said.
"You are shameless." Janessa shook him off and said, "If I had known that you had a wife and a child, I would never sleep with you."
Janessa was like a coquettish kitty when she was in a good mood. Once she got angry, she would turn hostile and spout insults to hurt others.
Hearing this, Warren was tempered. "Haven't you kept staying with me after you knew?"
Janessa slapped him, with tears in her eyes. "Fine. It's me who pestered you. From now on, I will never do it again! If I, Janessa Diaz, come to you again, I would be killed by a car!"
Warren suddenly hugged her and tried to kiss her. "Don't say that!"
"Go away!" Janessa kicked him.
A passerby came back from shopping. Warren felt that he had lost face, but he was worried about Janessa and didn't let go of her. He had lost face countless times those years, but he couldn't blame her, or he would lose her.
He believed that he had done much for Janessa, but she was stonyhearted.
Janessa stood quietly, looking at his face. "I have always forgotten to tell you one thing."
Warren felt that he wouldn't be glad to hear that thing.
But he wanted to know.
"What?"
Janessa chuckled, "I slept with someone else in New Year."
Warren immediately grabbed her wrist and glared at her. "What did you say?"
"Why are you so shocked?" Janessa smiled indifferently, "It's the same that you had a lover and still slept with your wife."
"I didn't! I didn't touch her after you!" Warren gritted his teeth.
"Well. Sorry. I threw my bottom line. I would feel sorry not sleeping with other men after sleeping with a married man like you."
"You are lying." Warren looked at her and said gently, "You know I won't believe that."
"I was drunk." Janessa was smiling, with tears in her eyes. She looked up and stopped her tears, "I thought the man was you."
Seeing that, Warren was nearly convinced. He held her in arms and kissed her, "I'm sorry ... Don't say that. Don't..."
"But I enjoyed it very much." Janessa was still smiling. "I don't remember how many times I slept with him. I only remember that I was feeling good."
"Shut up! Shut up!" Warren yelled as he hugged her tightly.
"You know I am telling the truth." Janessa chuckled. "I don't want you to touch me, not because I am angry, but because..."
Warren couldn't feel his heartbeat, hearing Janessa's voice come to his ears.
"I slept with another man."
"Janessa!" Warren let go of her and glared, "Are you punishing me?"
Janessa chuckled, "Why should I punish you?" She touched Warren's face. Her index finger moved on his eyebrows, nose, and lips, and then she tiptoed to kiss him.
She was full of dreams and aspirations when she first came to this city. Her unyielding personality quickly attracted her superior, who was looking for a girlfriend with the help of the entire tourist company. Janessa asked curiously, "He looks quite charming. Why doesn't he have a girlfriend?"
She once guided a tourist group and happened to meet him at the same hotel. On those days, they greeted briefly at days and had meals together at night. She thought they would just have such a simple intersection. Later, she was drunk during a company gathering. Not knowing her home, he sent her back to the hotel and returned home alone.
After she woke up, she felt his thoughtfulness and began to fell in love with him uncontrollably.
Then...
She accidentally answered his phone, and a child asked softly on the other end of the phone, "Dad, when are you coming back?"
Her dream was shattered all of a sudden.
Warren thought that she regretted it and was about to love her more, but she let go of him peacefully.
"I loved you. It's over. Goodbye." Janessa waved at him.
Warren stood there and watched Janessa leave with her suitcase chicly. He recalled the time when they first met. She confidently greeted him and then turned around with documents in her arms.
It was raining?
He looked up at the blue sky. No rain.
He wiped his face in a daze, then laughed bitterly.
Soon, he madly rushed out. He couldn't let go. She was ruthless and he wouldn't see her again after departure.
When Warren chased to the door, he only saw that Janessa had closed the door of the taxi. He hurriedly ran out, but the taxi had already left.
The car never stopped even though he chased for more than 20 meters. He saw the beautiful face revealed from the back window several times. She looked cold and strange.
