“Give me a reason. Don’t tell me that someone your age is still afraid of sleeping alone. Are you afraid of the dark?” Tiffany asked virtual-novel.net jokingly.
“Something like that. Give it a thought.” Jackson got up and poured himself a glass of wine then drank half of it in one go.
Tiffany thought about it, but still refused in the end. “The cab I hailed is arriving soon. Besides… it‘s not appropriate for us to do this. I heard from Eric that your marriage has been internally decided, which means you already have a partner. Why are you asking me to do something like this instead of your fiancée? I don’t want to be criticized by someone else. Come on now, there’s nothing scary about sleeping alone. Don’t worry so much.”
Jackson smiled, somewhat self-deprecatingly. “My fiancée? Didn’t you see virtual-novel.net at the restaurant last time? She isn’t like you.”
Tiffany was suddenly at a loss for words. What did virtual-novel.net mean by that? Was virtual-novel.net insulting her? Being here with Jackson alone made virtual-novel.net feel awkward. She could only hope the cab virtual-novel.net called would come quickly. After waiting for more than half an hour, there was still no call. Tiffany finally asked, “Can you help me check where the cab is? Why hasn’t it arrived yet…?”
Jackson took out his phone and waved it in front of virtual-novel.net eyes. “I cancelled it. No cab is coming. Besides, it’s not safe for you to take a cab this late at night.”
She puffed up virtual-novel.net cheeks in anger. “Why are you like this? How can you force someone to sleep with you? Aren’t you being a jerk…?”
Jackson smirked at her. He leaned toward her, effectively trapping Tiffany between the sofa and his body. “Let’s just say that I am being a jerk to you. You’ll be paid for it. Why don’t you reconsider?”
She shot virtual-novel.net a glare. “No! I’m still an innocent girl. Don’t you dare mess with me! Get off! I’ll go out and hail a cab myself!”
An innocent girl? Jackson was a little surprised to hear that and let virtual-novel.net go. After all, virtual-novel.net wasn’t a Vile man.
Tiffany slipped away quickly. He knew that lt wasn’t easy to hail a cab in this area but still decided to let virtual-novel.net try. It took Tiffany almost half an hour just to walk out of the White Water Bay Villa area. When virtual-novel.net finally reached the main road outside, virtual-novel.net didn’t even see a car, let alone a cab.
She walked along the side of the road while waiting for a cab. The night breeze was very cold and the temperature had dropped. She trembled in the cold and couldn’t even feel virtual-novel.net legs.
All of a sudden, virtual-novel.net heard a car honking at virtual-novel.net from behind. She was a little scared. If it was a kidnapper, a girl like virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be able to outrun them in a place like this. She calmly pretended to be talking on virtual-novel.net phone that was already dead. The car behind virtual-novel.net pulled up to the side of the road next to her, and virtual-novel.net legs started to tremble involuntarily. Just when virtual-novel.net was about to start running, the window rolled down and Jackson poked his head out. “What are you doing? Get in the car. I’ll give you a ride,” virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net with great amusement.
Tiffany let out a long sigh of relief. After getting into the car, virtual-novel.net suddenly recalled something. “Weren’t you drinking just now? What if there are cops?”
Jackson curled his lips. “That’ll be your fault then. If I hadn’t come, were you really planning on walking all the way back?”
Tiffany frowned. “Let’s not… It’s too dangerous to drink and drive. You can go back by yourself first, I’d rather walk home myself since I don’t have to work over the weekend. I’m fine with walking home until dawn, at least I can sleep the entire day away after that.”
Jackson turned the car around and headed directly back to the White Water Bay Villa area. “Let me get off first!” Tiffany tried to stop him.
“You sleep on the sofa, I sleep on the bed.” He quickly made the final decision without giving virtual-novel.net a chance to go back on virtual-novel.net words.
Tiffany never expected that virtual-novel.net would be back to square one after going through so much trouble. Had virtual-novel.net known that, virtual-novel.net might as well skip all those troubles. She was initially looking forward to getting a good sleep on the sofa, but the scene in front of virtual-novel.net eyes stunned her. There was a huge red wine stain on the sofa, which had still been fine when virtual-novel.net left earlier.
