“Honey?”
Alex calls, but Miya doesn’t respond. He calls again, and Miya still doesn’t respond.
Alex thinks he just scared her and she is angry. Is she crying?
Alex is startled, so he turns on the bedside lamp immediately.
But Miya gives him a big smile.
“You...” Alex feels a little confused.
Miya says, “did I scare you just now?”
Alex nods.
Miya says, “actually, I’ve watched the video. Aileen sent me a copy and said a lot of nice things about you. She told me not to blame you.”
“Aileen? When did you become so familiar?” Alex asks.
Miya shrugs and says she doesn’t know. “Naturally, we become very familiar.”
“When did you receive this video?” Alex asks.
Miya thinks it over and says, “I received it a few days ago. Maybe the day I came back from the company.”
“The day you came back from the company?” Alex thinks about the day Miya came back from the company. He called Aileen that day.
He asked Aileen to help him get the video. She got the video that day but she didn’t give it to him.
Alex is angry. Miya feels something is wrong.
Alex asks angrily, “now that you know the truth, why don’t you talk to me these days?”
Miya says, “I’ve got the video, and it’s someone else who gave it to me, not you. I believe you are efficient, but you have kept me waiting for a long time.”
“Honey, do you know where I got this video?” Alex asks.
Miya shakes her head and says, “I don’t know.”
“I got it from Aileen, too.” He is completely angry.
“You know you’re incompetent, so you ask someone else for help?” Miya asks.
“I asked Aileen to get the video.” Alex is speechless.
Miya looks at Alex in confusion.
