Linda was about to go back to her room, but Jason stopped her. “I’m not sleepy yet, Linda. Can I go to your room?”
“Huh?”
Jason went to Linda’s room before she could even say anything, so she went along. “Are you alright now, Jason? Is your stomach acting up? Do you need anything?” Linda’s voice was barely a whisper.
Jason didn’t answer her. Instead, he had a serious look on his face. “Why did you do that?”
Linda averted her gaze. “What do you mean, Jason? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“There’s only the two of us here, so tell me the truth. You used my phone to text Selena, didn’t you? And then you sent someone masquerading as her assistant to invite me to the hotel. You were also the one behind that incense in the room, weren’t you?” He didn’t think Linda did it alone. Jason knew she had been going around all alone, and he knew she must have been suffering. He knew she was no longer the young, innocent girl she once was.
Linda was staring down, then she pushed her hair back. “Jason, I…”
“Tell me the truth. What is going on?” Jason was as gentle as usual. He knew Linda must have her own reasons for that.
“I… I could see that you like Selena, so I wanted to help you out.” She looked up at him, tears welling up in her eyes. “I know you don’t like Jane at all. She’s just an arrogant, narcissistic woman. You don’t like women like her. I know you prefer Oriental women. We’re a gentle kind, after all.”
