In the dark, Winnie was completely awakened by Brian's harsh words. Because of his question, she realized that she had done something that she shouldn't do, which almost exposed herself.
In the dark room, Winnie could no longer feel the warmth coming from Brian's body. Her face was pale because of Brian's question.
Fortunately, she turned off the light before going to bed. Although she accidentally exposed her familiarity with this place, the darkness could conceal the panic on her face at the moment.
It was impossible for her to spend the night peacefully anymore.
Winnie calmed down. She got up and picked up the remote control next to her to turn on the light again.
"Mr. Bennet, you are too sensitive."
Winnie glanced calmly at Brian's face which was full of vigilant and suspicious. He seemed to treat her as a thief and as if she had made a big mistake.
Winnie smiled bitterly. She got out of bed and picked up her clothes on the carpet one by one. While wearing her clothes, she said again.
"Mr. Bennet, you always think of me as a liar, so your first reaction is what tricks I'm playing, right?"
Winnie paused for a moment. Before Brian could answer, she continued speaking.
"Mr. Bennet, if you don't trust me, why did you bring me here? You can just pick one hotel causally. If Penny can't satisfy you, you can find another woman. Why did you look for me, a liar?"
Seeing the suspicious looks in Brian’s eyes, Winnie got hurt. She felt ached.
"Knock it off. Just answer my question."
Brian also felt bad when he saw the sad face of Winnie who was wearing clothes. But he asked again harshly.
"Nothing. The reason why I've been familiar with here is because I have already come here last time. I am thirsty and I want to drink water. I can't wake you up. I need light to go to the bathroom. So I fumbled to turn on the light. I didn't do anything except these. As for the stuff in the drawer you said, I didn't watch it either."
Winnie said indifferently. She had already put on her clothes. Looking at Brian confidently and stubbornly, she continued to speak.
"Mr. Bennet, I have been the villa twice and it was all because of you. You took me directly into this room. I didn't move anything except using your bathroom and drinking the water in your refrigerator."
"Oh right, I just took one contraceptive pill."
"I haven't moved anything except this room. Mr. Bennet, you can check this room carefully. I can compensate you if you lose something."
After speaking, Winnie turned around to wear her canvas shoes. Then she went straight to the door.
She walked to the door and stopped, because she felt particularly aggrieved.
"Mr. Bennet, I admit that I am a liar, but I never steal anything. Don't look at me as if I’m a thief."
Winnie thought she would feel better after she said these words out, but she didn't expect that she felt more uncomfortable.
She furiously opened the door and slammed it closed.
Walking out of the door of the villa, it was pitch black and cold outside. Winnie took a breath and was a little scared. Even if she was so scared, she felt it was better than being questioned by Brian.
Thinking of this, Winnie walked into the darkness with courage.
At this time, Brian was wearing clothes. It was so dark outside. He didn't think Winnie would leave here. He thought Winnie just went to the living room or another room.
But when he came to the window, he found that Winnie had already reached the gate and was opening the door.
Brian panicked suddenly and ran downstairs quickly. How could he forget that Winnie was a so stubborn woman?
When Brian went downstairs, Winnie had already walked out of the villa. So Brian had to drive to chase her up.
There were wild boars and weird birds from time to time on this dark mountain road. Even a mouse that came to the road would make Winnie feel creepy.
Thinking of this, Brian speeded up. Then he stopped the car in front of Winnie after less than a minute.
Brian got out of the car and slammed the door closed angrily, questioning loudly and coldly.
"Are you insane? Don't you know how dangerous this road is? You will be scared to death. Don’t you know?"
Although Brian was shouting angrily, he felt relieved because he finally chased Winnie up.
"Please get out of my way. It's better to be scared to death than to be wronged."
Winnie said arrogantly, bypassing Brian and continuing to walk down.
She was not afraid of death. Death was a relief for her. But she was afraid that she would die with an inexplicable crime. She was afraid that others would put an inexplicable crime on her when she was dead.
"Winnie, can you curb your temper? It's so dark and dangerous outside. Don't make trouble here unreasonably."
Brian quickly came to Winnie's front. Watching Winnie continue to walk into the darkness, he was full of anxiety. He didn't know how to keep Winnie staying, so he could only shout loudly.
Winnie stopped and suddenly looked into Brian’s eyes. She was pissed off.
"Am I making trouble? You can just lose your temper for no reason. I didn't want to hear that you lose your temper, so I left. But for you, I’m just making trouble? Don’t you feel it’s a bit unfair? I want to ask you, what are you to me? What rights do you have to lose your temper to me?"
Winnie was angry. She asked back loudly. Her voice sounded particularly bleak on the dark and silent mountain road, which was just like her life.
Brian frowned. Seeing the sad expression on Winnie's face under the light of the car lights, Brian felt so sorry.
"..."
He couldn't answer Winnie's question. He didn't know what the relationship between them was now.
"Let’s go back and have a good talk. It's too late now."
