Blair didn't hear Wesley coming up behind her. She rolled her eyes and decided to say something to make him jealous. She turned around and asked the man leaning against his car, "By the way, there's a guy I'm talking to on WeChat. He lives around here. He's good at taekwondo, so he can definitely protect me. Don't worry about me."
Wesley, who was about to light a cigarette, decided to call her bluff with a barrage of questions. "What's his name? Where does he live? How old is he? What does he do? How did you two know each other? Why date him? Did he ask you out? He knew you were in A Country?"
There were so many questions that Blair only remembered some of them. "He's 31, a taekwondo coach. We met at a party and started talking. He asked me to look him up when I was in town. I'm texting him that I'm here. I'm sure he'll ask me out." After saying that, she took out her phone.
Turning around, she walked to the elevator without looking at Wesley's face.
She opened the WeChat and clicked a dialog box. She wrote, "Hey, you up?"
The reply came soon. "Yeah. Free now, Bless?"
Blair typed, "Mmm hmm. I'm in your town, actually. Wanna get a cup of coffee?" She was about to click the "send" button.
Before she could do so, her phone was snatched away. Giggling in her heart, she pretended to yell, "Help! Thief!"
Wesley was stunned into silence by her reaction.
Some people in the car park looked at them to figure out what the commotion was. Blair immediately waved her hand and cried, "He...he robbed me... Mmmph..." Wesley quickly covered her mouth.
With a deadpan face, he told the others apologetically, "Sorry, guys. She's my friend. She's mad at me, so..."
Seeing Wesley's military uniform, the onlookers immediately believed what he said. One of them even looked at Blair with an amused smile, saying, "That looks like a fun game. I'll have to try it sometime. Maybe my wife would be into it."
Blair's jaw dropped. She didn't know how to retort.
Wesley deleted what she had typed and typed a different message to the guy she was trying to meet. She watched helplessly as the message was sent to Mr. Guo—"Sorry, wrong guy."
Blair was still in shock.
Wesley locked her phone, tucked it in his pocket and grabbed her wrist, striding forward. "You can go on a date when you are back in Y City. Not now. Now you have to stay with me. I took you out, and I need to keep an eye on you."
Blair tried her best to shake off his hand and snapped, "Let go of me. And don't talk to me. You're still a jerk!" Why did she have to listen to him? He had kissed her so many times and even made her give him a hand job. Yet he was obstinate, refusing to be her boyfriend. What a jerk!
"You used to bug me all the time! What's changed?"
Blair's heart broke. "Everything, that's what. We're done. I don't want to put up with your antics anymore. And I don't want to cry for you ever again. You think I still love you after what you've done? In your dreams! Boo...hoo..."
Although she said she didn't want to cry for him ever again, her tears betrayed her, streaming down her cheeks.
Wesley was shocked when he saw her tears. 'She's in the wrong business. Translator? Try actress, ' he thought.
"Wesley Li, you asshole!" she said, voice hoarse from crying. She was choking on her heartbreak.
Wesley held her hands softly and asked in the softest tone, "Why are you crying?"
"You just said I seduced you. I feel cheap." She wouldn't admit that she seduced Wesley.
She cried more after saying that. Wesley's heart was crushed. He wiped her tears with his rough palm and said hurriedly, "No, that's not it."
