Lleft Leo‘s place by calling myself a cab.
I didn‘t know where to go, I didn‘t feel like going back to Lance‘s mansion to pack. I didn‘t want to see him, or Lexi. I was afraid that Lexi might make it hard for me to leave.
“Miss, you need to tell me where you‘re heading.” The cab driver said to me.
“Um, sorry, can you head to Pavilion Residences?” I said awkwardly.
“No problem, you must be rich to live there!” the driver said.
“No, I‘m just temporarily staying with a family. I‘ll be leaving soon.” | sighed. At this time, I didn‘t notice that I
said ‘family‘.
Treached Lance‘s mansion and got down the cab. I paid the driver and went to his door.
I stood at the doorstep, I didn‘t know why I was afraid of taking a step
- in.
Suddenly, the door was opened. Lance stood in front of me.
“Why are you standing here? Come in.” Lance said softly.
“I‘m back to pack……” I said in a low voice.
“I know, I have already asked the maid to pack for you. There are 3 luggage of your stuff.” Lance said. He seemed pretty excited that I was leaving. Huh, so much for loving me. He signalled for the maids to push the luggage to me.
I nodded my head and said, “T‘ll be
leaving then, thanks.”
“Don‘t you want to see Lexi one last time?” Lance suddenly asked, before I stepped out of the house.
I stood there, with my back facing him. I didn‘t know why, I wasn‘t able to bring myself to turn back around. Then, I heard a little girl‘s voice, “Mommy?”
Tears started forming in my eyes. I remained frozen on the same spot. Then I spoke, without turning back, “Baby girl, mommy is going to a new place to work. Daddy will take good care of you starting from today. Mommy loves you forever okay?” my voice broke at the end of my sentence.
I could feel my body shaking. But I still couldn‘t bring myself to turn around. Lance didn‘t say anything.
“Mo–mmy, wh…..Where?” Lexi asked in her baby voice.
I couldn‘t take it anymore, if Lexi continued to speak to me, I would not leave.
- BO.
