Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 5

"What consequences? Am I telling the truth? Didn’t your mother seduce my father?!" Nia held her head high stubbornly and did not compromise at all, "You tolerated so much unpleasant words about Heath Jordan just now, but now you are afraid that I will be angry and embarrass your mother when I back home, am I right?"

Because of her loud voice, several people gathered at the door to see what’s going on.

Slap!

Rae slapped her again. This time, she slapped her harder than before, and her palm was numb.

Nia endured the pain and did not fight back. Because she knew she couldn't beat Rae.

And now Rae looked a little scary when she was angry, to some extent, a little like Jensen. For a moment, she felt that the two were exactly the same. Just that little resemblance made her afraid to fight back. Although she couldn't fight back, Nia knew very well that Lola was Rae's weakness!

It was beyond imagination that for mother’s love, how thirsty a child abandoned by its mother would be!

Her pain was probably nothing compared to the pain Rae was experiencing!

With this in mind, Nia then spoke with extreme cruelty, "By the way, you didn't see how bad did my dad beat your mom after he got drunk last night, and you have no idea about how did your mom cling to my dad's thighs and begged him not to kick her out. It was really impressive." Nia deliberately said each word harshly and extremely slowly, as if she was afraid Rae couldn't hear her clearly!

Slap!

The third slap.

"Nia, try saying that again?" Rae raised her hand and pointed at Nia. Not knowing whether it was because of anger or sadness, her hands were trembling. Although she was warning her, her heart was aching because of Nia's words. She didn't understand why her mother preferred to stay with that man? Wouldn't it be better for her to go back to her and live a happy life? Why would she would rather to kneel down than came back?

"OK, I've finished anyway. But remember, Rae, I won’t forget these three slaps!" Nia said indignantly with a trace of evil in her eyes, and then went into the restaurant with her friend.

After Nia left, Rae felt her world suddenly quieted down. She looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. Just then her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Jensen calling her for dinner with an address, and Rae didn't dare to delay anything related to money, so she answered the message and took a taxi to the SV Hotel where she would have an appointment with Jensen.

...

Rae opened the door of the private room and saw that Jensen was alone. So she just took off her high heels, then stepped on the soft carpet towards Jensen and sat down next to him, looking very casual.

"What's wrong?" Jensen saw an unusual trace from Rae's eyes though she kept her head down intentionally.

"Darcy is pregnant. I'm going to pay a lot of money if she messes up the shoot." Rae blurted out, then picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. Just now she forced herself not to cry but almost choked up.

Jensen put down the menu and said seriously, "Given her personality, she won't keep the baby. You know that very well." So she was lying. And in his opinion, Rae never let herself suffer easily. If she was hurt, it would be when she lost to the person she loved. That's Rae. She was like a warrior in front of strangers, but in front of the one she loved, she embraced them easily because she was afraid of being alone.

"Ophelia now holds forty percent of the official accounts, which is three percent more than I have. Now everyone is sucking up to her, and my business is worse." Rae told another lie.

Jensen was silent because he didn't want to answer the lie.

"Hey, I'll have to spend my hard-earned money again by twelve o'clock, and then I'll have to ask you for money again at the end of next month." Rae sensed that Jensen was getting serious, so she sighed heavily and pretended to have a headache, trying to make Jensen believe what she said. Sometimes she felt Jensen knew her well. This understanding made her afraid. In fact, she didn't really need some words of comfort, because it would make her feel pity for herself. Instead, she felt better when she said something casually or told a lie.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Jensen didn't want to listen to her bullshit.

He just wanted to know who was giving her a hard time.

It wasn't that he didn't know the answer, actually. After all, there were only two people in this world that Rae would care about.
