At each side of the parking lot, Flora was saying goodbye to Jason.
Flora just went downstairs to see Jason get into the car.
At the other side of the parking lot, Luk and Marina had already got in the car, Luk quickly drove out of the parking lot.
When the car arrived at the villa of the White family, Marina first stayed in the car and looked around. After she confirmed that there was no one around, she got out of the car.
When she got out of the car, Luk followed her as well.
Marina was eager to ask him to drive away quickly.
Perhaps because the two of them just had an intimate time, Luk kept fresh with Marina in front of the villa of the White family.
Luk didn't stop until he heard a slight movement in the villa courtyard.
After Marina entered the courtyard, she looked through the crack of the door. Seeing that Luk's car had left, she returned to the living room with ease.
Her first thing after coming back was to ask Zamani whether Jason had come back.
She was relieved when she knew that Jason had not returned at all.
Marina told Zamani not to tell anyone that she went out for a while at night. Zamani needed to keep it a secret even from Tina.
Zamani agreed and went away.
Marina hummed a tune and went upstairs, wanted to take a shower.
She felt that her body was stained with the smell of Luk's cigarette smoke. It was really stinky.
Just as she had her pyjamas ready and was about to enter the bathroom, the door of the room was opened.
Marina was a bit shocked. She didn't expect that Jason would be home at this time.
"Why are you back?" Marina asked surprisingly.
Speaking of this, she seemed to feel that her question was not appropriate. So she added, "I mean, why didn't you tell me earlier that you would come home so late? Have you had dinner?"
Jason pretended to be tired, "I ate in the company. I wanted to stay in the company and work overtime all night. But I thought you were waiting for me to go home, so I'm back."
Marina almost forgot what she had said to Jason previously.
In fact, she was just casual. Anyhow, the food was not made by herself, but by the servants in the kitchen. She said that she cooked it herself only to make Jason happy.
"Okay, I'll take a shower first."
Marina didn't want to stand in front of Jason any longer.
She was afraid that in just a second, she would give herself away. Even she couldn't stand the smell on her body anymore.
Jason thought similarly to Marina. His body smelt perfume. If he had a considerate wife, she might immediately realize something went wrong.
Fortunately, Marina was about to take a shower. So Jason also took the opportunity to leave and go downstairs.
He felt so thirsty that he went to the kitchen to get some water. He happened to see Zamani preparing food for the following day in the kitchen.
Jason asked casually, "Did Marina scold me when she was having dinner alone at home tonight?"
When Zamani heard this question, she didn't know how to reply for a moment.
Anyway, Marina told her not to tell Jason that someone had come looking for her.
She didn't want to offend Jason either, and she was afraid that if Jason saw the fridge full of leftover dishes that were nearly untouched, he would know that she was lying.
Zamani had little choice but to say, "Marina didn't have dinner at home tonight."
Jason didn't care much about it. It was very normal for Marina not to eat at home because she often had something to do at dinner time.
When he returned to his room, Marina had not come out of the bathroom yet.
