Sean took a look at me and focused on driving and didn’t speak again.
It was windy and rainy on the mountain, but it was only drizzling under the mountain.
The car arrived at York No.1.
I couldn’t be more familiar with this place.
Looking at the car entering the community, I quickly said, “President Jessop, where are we going?”
Sean still didn’t speak.
I was so scared that I put my hand on the doorknob and said nervously, “President Jessop, if you are going to take me to your house, I will jump out of the car.”
“Then you jump.”
Sean held the steering wheel in his hands and didn’t look at me. It seemed that my life had nothing to do with him.
Actually, I dared not jump.
I hurt my foot. If I jumped down, I was sure I would get hurt. I would be hit by a car. Then my work would be affected.
I thought for a while and sat in the car.
As I expected, the car stopped in the parking space downstairs of Sean’s house.
He made a phone call in the car. “Someone’s sprained her foot. Come here with something.”
When he called, I got out of the car with my bag.
The chassis of SUV was very high. I jumped down and hit my ankle hard again. It hurt so much.
I gritted my teeth and saw water on the leather seat in his car. I took the tissue out of my bag and wiped it.
Sean hung up and watched me clean my seat. He frowned. “What are you doing?”
“President Jessop, your seat is wet. I’m cleaning it for you.”
I said naturally.
I wanted to make sure that my behavior was not the same as before.
Sean was impatient and suddenly furious. “I don’t need you to do this!”
I was startled. My hand was in midair and I didn’t know what to do.
He came impatiently.
I was so scared that I took back the tissue and closed the door.
I jumped back two steps.
He came straight up and picked me up again without hesitation!
I was ready this time. I bit my lips with my teeth and didn’t speak.
He squinted at me and seemed to see through my tricks.
I calmed down and said, “President Jessop, can you put me down?”
“No way.”
He strode to the elevator.
No.
I couldn’t do that. I didn’t want to have anything to do with Sean!
I struggled in his arms, “President Jessop, you have a wife! You hold another woman. Your wife will be very sad!”
“It’s my business.” Sean’s hands were a little stronger.
We were getting closer to the elevator and I was getting scared.
I knew what would happen if I went into his house!
I struggled desperately!
Finally, he didn’t hold me. I fell to the ground!
It hurt.
I was in pain and inhaled. I clenched my teeth and stood up and limped, “President Jessop, I don’t want to go to your house.”
