At that moment, Johny's mind was going to explode!
He remembered the scene when Kirs proposed to her. It never occurred to him that they slept together. Ceres had boundaries.
"You're lying!" Johny said fiercely.
However, Ceres narrowed her eyes and smiled. "For more than three years, we have been together day and night. I am lonely, he is alone, and we go together to the bar sometimes, isn't that normal for our age?"
Johny stared at Ceres, he became outrageous!
Ceres knew this would make him uneasy.
She knew he would not go near to a woman who had been with another man. So she lied to avoid him.
Johny straightened up, Ceres followed.
She tidied up her clothes and said, "Johny, I will send you another paper. My patience is on the clock, hope you think about it!"
Ceres left his office.
Johny punched the table angrily!
Why did she hate him so much? They used to have such a good spark, could it be over?
He betrayed her once but all the goodness he had done to her didn't make amends.
...
City M.
In a villa in the city center, Ceres's assistant, Nick, picked up the phone.
He answered her with caution, "Yes, he has been doing very well in kindergarten. He adjusted to the environment. He said he have missed you. Except that everything is in order, don't worry."
The boy was playing with his fake guns while Nick was on the phone. And he looked at Nick mischievously.
This little boy was called Swedum and this name came from his mother who wished him the best with a blessing.
He resembled the exquisite look of his mother, Ceres. When he entered kindergarten, a lot of little girls had a crush on him.
Nick was relieved when he hung up the phone. "Kid, are you happy now?" he asked.
Swedum shook his head, "Not yet. I want you to take me to Imperial City."
And that made Nick flinch, "Swedum, are you serious? You want me to lose my job and my girlfriend, don't you, my boy?"
Ceres was not at home, so Nick took his girlfriend with him in the middle of the night. This secret was Swedum's power over Nick.
"If you don't take me, that is fine. But don't blame me when I tell my mom about the secret, and this!" He was holding a condom!
Swedum had no idea what it was but Nick's reaction made him realize this thing could be used as a bargaining chip.
Nick looked at the condom and freaked out. If Ceres knew her young child was exposed to this, she would kill him!
He was with his girlfriend for not so long and he couldn't afford to lose his job.
"Oh, my boy! Give me a break! Please!"
Swedum shook his head and said, "You buy the ticket to Imperial City and I will let go of this."
"But your mom told me you can't go to Imperial City! She wants you to be here and attend classes."
