She is about to say something when she walks in front of Dan and Lisa grabs her hand while crying pitifully, “Cousin, please take me away, this man is horrible, he just wanted to …”
She didn’t complete her sentence but everyone knows what she means.
Jamie looks at Lisa’s tear-soaked face and her lips pursed, her voice is chilly and calm, “What did he do to you?”
Lisa winces and pretends to be embarrassed, wipes the corner of her eyes and says to Jamie, “Cousin, I know that if I were to say these it will affect the relationship between you two. But this man was just about to do something to me. If you didn’t come in suddenly, I may …”
As she says this, she covers her face and continues to cry. She really looks like someone who had just been taken advantage of.
Jamie laughs from the corner of her mouth, but her laughter reveals her suspicions. She looks coldly at Lisa and lifts her chin, saying, “Are you blaming me for interrupting your advances?”
Her voice is so cold it sends chills down Lisa’s spine.
“No, cousin, that’s not what I meant…” Lisa pitifully held back her tears and wipes her face.
Jamie turns and looks at Dan who remains calm throughout, “What about you, don’t you have anything to explain to me?”
Dan raises his eyebrows and sits back into the sofa. His dark eyes look calmly into her crystal watery eyes and say: “Do you believe her or me?”
Lisa’s heart skips a beat and a bad feeling come over her. She becomes worried and looks at Jamie’s expression. It was calm, quiet, emotionless. She’ll believe me, wouldn’t she?
Don’t all women of this country hold their reputation in high regard?
“Cousin, he is not who he says he is. Don’t fall into his trap, you won’t be happy!”
“Oh? Do you mean him?” Jamie looks at her and questions her in return.
Lisa quickly nods pitifully. If it was someone else, she’ll believe her. But Jamie isn’t anyone else.
“You just said that Dan was about to molest you? Jamie sneers coldly and with sarcasm.
Lisa cowers slightly but she looks into Jamie’s dull eyes and perseveres, “Yes, yes … he was!”
As soon as she says “Yes”, Jamie picks up the coffee cup and pours it over Lisa. She is swift and sure as if she had done it before.
The coffee in the cup is still warm and steam rises from her long blond hair.
But it is obvious that Lisa is scared silly and didn’t notice if the coffee is hot. She blinks and her blue eyes look in shock at Jamie as if something unbelievable has happened.
“Cousin, cousin, you, you…”
“Cousin?” Jamie scoffs, she then picks up another cup of coffee and pours it onto Lisa. This time she is slow and deliberate, as if to show off to Lisa.
