"Jerry, what on earth are you talking about!", said Janet. She was too sheepish to look Jerry straight in the eye. 'Did they see Daniel downstairs?', she wondered.
Sally then whispered to Janet, "When we were on our way back here, we came across my brother. He was returning to his mansion from here, right?"
Janet completely denied and shook her head, and she changed the topic immediately, "Jerry, what's in this?"
Jerry took a sniff out of it and then covered the lid, "Don't you know? It's an ointment developed by Chuck."
"An ointment? For what?" asked Janet.
"For an injury, bruise, whatever. It works pretty well," replied Jerry. Jerry squinted at Janet, who was suddenly lost in thought, and then realized what had just happened.
He passed the ointment back to his sister, "Where does it hurt?" 'Daniel brought it,' thought Jerry.
"I accidentally hurt my elbow. But forget about it. Jerry, Sally, I'm going to sleep now."
Janet then took the ointment out of Jerry's hands and then swiftly went on her way back to her bedroom.
"Jane, what about us sleeping together?" asked Sally. She watched Janet running off. 'You've abandoned me so fast!' she thought.
Jerry then said, ''Dear, don't even think about it. We're sleeping together!"
...
In the bedroom
Janet gawked at the ointment, and she was now confused. 'What does Daniel really want from me?
What the hell was he doing here in the first place? Was he wielding both the carrot and the stick?'
Disgruntled, Janet threw the ointment in the trash bin. 'I don't give a fuck for any of your stuff!
Now go to sleep!' she thought.
She turned on the bed lamp, turned off the other lights in the bedroom, covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes and then went to sleep.
Five minutes later
She tossed and turned for a while and then got up from her bed and searched the trash...
After this, she picked up her phone, and texted Brian on WeChat, "Brian, Daniel was talking nonsense. I am not his mistress..."
On second thought, she deleted those words.
'Honestly, if Jerry hadn't called me in the nick of time, I probably would've had sex with Daniel...'
Feeling even distressed, Janet post something in her Moments, which read, "It is quite baffling! Fretful! Ah ah ah!"
She locked her phone, threw it on the other side of the bed and then went back to sleep.
However, five minutes later, a WeChat message alerted her. Janet, who still couldn't sleep, unlocked her phone and checked her inbox. She was confused by the name.
S.
'Who's S?' she thought.
Janet frowned at the incoming message, which read, "Humph? In the mood for sex?"
'Who could this be? And why is he so rude!' Janet thought.
She checked his Moments, and saw that there were a lot of links about the SL Group.
So, he was...
"Why did you add me as friend on WeChat without even me knowing!" Janet texted.
'He must have added me as friend when he was locked in the room!'
"You got a problem?" he replied.
''Of course! Unfriend me! Hurry up! Or else I'll video-call you when you're with your girlfriend!" texted Janet.
"Whatever!" he replied.
...
Janet could not help but wonder, 'Does Daniel really love his girlfriend? And if he does, why is he flirting with me... Behind his girlfriend's back?
Or, does he want to have two girlfriends at the same time?'
