"Let's make a deal." Taking a big sip of beer, Alice could do anything to achieve her goal, which was also taught by Jacob.
"Oh, what deal?" There was a playful smile at the corners of Thompson's mouth. The woman in front of him was interesting. They had only met twice, and she even didn't know who he was. She wanted to make a deal with him.
"First of all, I know you like Sara, and I like Jacob. From a certain point of view, we are comrades."
Taking a big gulp of beer, Thompson looked up at Alice and said, "Go on."
"So if we work together, we can get what we want respectively. Take what we need. " Alice believed that Thompson was a sensible man. There were some words that she didn't have to make too clear to him, and he should be able to understand.
"But what's the good of it?" Thompson lowered his head and touched the jade ring on his finger with his right hand, as if he was thinking about something.
With a sigh, Alice said, "I told you, you can get Sara."
Thompson continued to raise his head and took a big gulp of beer. The light in the KTV was dim, so they couldn't see each other's faces clearly. They could only tell their thoughts from their tone.
"Of course I know this obvious benefits. I'm not talking about that. Let's talk about how we cooperate first." Thompson looked at the person in front of him as if he was looking at a prey. It was just a sheer of fun, but she said it in a pure and lofty way.
"I'm in trouble. I leaked the news that Jacob divorced, but I didn't expect that Jacob would be so infuriated. As a result, my relationship with Jacob is very bad now. Can you help me find a way? We will be comrades in the future. " Alice's voice was a little low, not as vigorous as before.
Looking at Alice in front of him, Thompson smiled. "It's not impossible for me to help you. It depends on how you behave. What benefits you can give me is very important."
How could Alice not understand the meaning of his words? She reached out and held Thompson's hand. Since she could use him, there was nothing to hesitate.
Looking at Alice who took the initiative to hold his hand, Thompson felt it interesting. It's so easy to get Jacob's first love. "Let's go out and have a talk. It's noisy here."
Alice nodded ambiguously and acquiesced in everything.
Thompson couldn't help laughing. She turned to Melissa and said, "Melissa, we have something else to do. We're leaving now. Have a good time."
Melissa looked at the two suspiciously and didn't say anything. She had to nod and tell the two to be careful on the way.
When they walked out of the private room of the KTV, Thompson walked in front and Alice followed him closely. The two didn't talk all the way. Alice's heart beat fast. Finally, the world around her ears became quiet. Not knowing why someone would like such a noisy environment, Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Thompson walking in front of her, who was dressed in casual clothes, with a straight back and slender legs, Alice gradually lost the sense of nervousness. If she could get Jacob back, she could do anything. The key was whether the person in front of him could help her or not.
Alice was not sure, but she knew very well that if he couldn't help her, she would never let him take any advantages from her.
Even if she had to do anything, she had to achieve her goal. Otherwise, it would be sheer sacrifice.
When they walked out of the door of the KTV, Thompson couldn't wait to hold Alice in his arms. Although she resisted in her heart, she couldn't lose her temper. She had chosen the way, so she couldn't retreat halfway.
With his arms around Alice's waist, Thompson whispered in her ear, "Where are we going?"
Alice's good smell refreshed Thompson.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You haven't helped me yet." Alice tried her best to hold back her impulse to run away.
