For someone like Jeff who had been pampered since childhood, it was normal for him to be afraid when he went through such a life-and-death situation.
But he shook his head, put his forehead on the back of my hand and spoke word by word with sobs.
“This world is too dangerous. I want to give you a home. Tyne, I feel sorry for you. Stay, stay with me, okay?”
I didn’t know if it was because Jeff’s red eyes were too sincere at the time, or if the words he said were too touching.
When he asked this question, I nodded for some reason.
From that day on, I tried my best to leave the organization, hiding my identity and stopped by Jeff, fantasizing about having a home with him.
And the bullet was made into a necklace by Jeff and he always carried it with him.
“This bullet will tell me at every moment that Tyne is the love of my life.”
But now, he clearly knew the meaning of the bullet, but still gave it to someone else.
Then it was time for me to leave.
Jeff finally went home at noon the next day.
There was a business cocktail party this afternoon and he came back to pick me up.
I looked at the clock on the wall and it was still a few hours before the boss sent a car to pick me up.
I didn’t want to arouse Jeff’s suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble later.
I nodded, changed into a dress and accompanied him out.
I followed Jeff, holding his arm and drank decently at the banquet.
At this moment, a man with a fat belly and few hairs on his head suddenly tripped and the red wine glass in his hand fell directly on me.
The dripping red wine slid down my collarbone and the old man’s eyes were fixed.
“Mr. Hurlbutt, your female companion is really good.”
Jeff smiled and took another glass of red wine from the table and handed it to the old man.
“Mr. Edwin, you are joking. When you go out, you can’t bring a woman who is too embarrassing. Since Mr. Edwin thinks she is not bad, I just ordered a table of good dishes tonight. Let’s go together and have a good chat about the development of the resort.”
Hearing Jeff’s words, the old man’s eyes lit up and his sticky eyes like a venomous snake apricot kept wandering over me.
In the past, I was often taken to such occasions by Jeff.
Now that I thought about it, in his eyes, I might be a good bodyguard, a tool to block the wine, or even a bargaining chip in a business transaction.
But not a fiancée.
I lowered my eyes to hide the disappointment in my eyes, smiled and spoke to the two men in front of me.
“I look a little too rude now. I’ll go to the lounge to deal with it. Wait a minute.”
When the waiter washed my clothes and sent them back, an hour had passed.
I changed my clothes and prepared to go back to the banquet hall. When I passed one of the lounges, the door was ajar and a dirty sound came into my ears.
The woman panted and spoke in a voice full of tenderness.
“You say you love me, but why don’t you want to bring me to this kind of occasion? Am I so ashamed?”
The man’s voice was low and full of lust.
“Men in this kind of occasion are beasts. You are so clean. How can I bear to let you come to this kind of place? I wish I could put you at the top of my heart. How can I bear you to get hurt a little bit?”
The woman smiled coquettishly and spoke half-heartedly.
“Don’t be so excited. Didn’t you say she was changing clothes in the lounge? Maybe she’s next door.”
The man’s movements were unrestrained and he seemed very satisfied with the woman’s reaction.
“I really love you. Your contrast really surprises me again and again. Don’t worry, the sound insulation of this high-end lounge is very good. I closed the door specifically. She won’t hear it.”
The moment Jeff finished speaking, Serena under him turned her eyes and met my eyes in the air.
At this moment, what else did I not understand?
Whether she appeared here or let me see this good show, it was all intentional by Serena.
I raised the corners of my lips, retracted my gaze and helped them close the door of the lounge.
As soon as I went downstairs, my phone rang.
“Tyne, where are you? I’m here to pick you up now. The plan has changed. We have to leave immediately.”
After telling the boss the address, I tied my loose hair into a ponytail and walked straight out of the hotel without returning to the banquet hall.
Since the plan had changed, it was all God’s will.
Jeff, goodbye.
We will never meet again!
