Alex glanced at me and then at Jessica, “Why did you two come together?”
Jessica explained hurriedly, “I’ve always wanted to express my thanks to Miss. Kennedy. When we met in the yard downstairs, I came to talk with her.”
Alex was confused, “When did you know each other?”
“Four years ago!” Jessica smiled and cast a glance at Leo, “If it had not been for Miss and Mr. Kennedy, I might have been dead now. I must express my gratitude.”
I pressed my lips. I felt vaguely there was something not so innocent with her.
Leo frowned and said nothing.
Yara wanted to say something but lowered her head silently.
Folly had a look at Jessica and said, “You two did such a good deed to save a girl!”
And she paused a moment and added, “Miss. Jessica, don’t let it weigh on you too heavily. Your saviors have probably forgotten that.”
Jessica smiled, “I was the one who was saved. I wouldn’t forget.”
Folly raised her eyebrows, “Why not reciprocate through having sex with Leo?”
Jessica flushed instantly and was reduced to silence.
Folly was straightforward, “Actually, the best way to repay is to let it go and not to interfere with the helper’s life. Am I right, Mr. Kennedy?”
She was implicating something.
Leo didn’t reply but put the soup that the waiter served just now in front of Yara.
It seemed that he agreed with Folly.
When we got out of the restaurant, it was late.
Folly had already gone with Zack.
Alex and Luis had left too.
Luis told Jessica to hail a taxi when he left but there were few near a private restaurant.
Dennis didn’t care about that and let me get into the car so that we could go home.
I saw Jessica standing beside Leo and Yara and saying something.
Leo nodded and Jessica got into the car with him.
Yara was left standing there alone.
I was shocked. What the heck happened?
Did they fight and thus leave her behind?
“Let’s back to pick Yara.” I said to Dennis.
He glanced at the rear-view mirror and saw Yara.
He frowned and drove back.
I got out of the car and saw Yara in the cold wind.
I frowned and asked her, “What happened? Why didn’t you go with Leo?”
She smiled, “He gave a ride to Miss. Jessica. A driver from home would pick me up soon.”
