Jean awoke the next morning feeling relaxed. She smiled as she turned in bed. The events from the night before felt like a glorious dream. Although she had a headache from the excess wine, she was looking forward to what the day would bring. She had wonderful pictures to show Sonny and her relationship with Zed was a little less uncertain.
As she opened her eyes, Jean didn't see Zed who had slept by her side last night. When she looked around the room, she noticed a note and some cold breakfast on the bedside table.
She picked up the note and read the message Zed had left her. ”I had to deal with something at the company.”
Looking at these words, Jean felt a sense of loss. But when she recalled what had happened last night, her face immediately flushed.
Jean had gotten used to being with Zed. Whenever Zed wasn't by her side, she felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness. She didn't know when she had become so accustomed to his presence in her life.
When Jean looked at the breakfast, she found the thousand dollars Zed had placed under the tray for her. Jean took the money and thought about the night before.
At the pub, she and Zed had drunk a lot of wine. Albeit they had a rough evening, it had ended cathartically. Both, Jean and Zed had finally expressed their feelings for each other. Jean wondered if their feelings were real or wine influenced.
The memory of subsequent events was still vivid in Jean's mind. Despite how many times Zed had told her that he loved her, Jean's low self-esteem wouldn't allow her to believe it. She had been in love before, and it had only brought her heartache. It was understandable that Jean would be a little diffident. Standing at the window, Jean was lost in thought for a while. Later, the ringing of her mobile phone interrupted her thoughts.
Ethan was calling.
She stared at the screen for a long while as she wondered how she was going to deal with Ethan. Jean finally ignored Ethan's call.
After finishing her morning routine, Jean ate the cold breakfast before heading outdoor with her camera. As soon as she walked outside, Jean received a text message.
”I am at Kim Village. Where are you?”
Jean was stunned as she read the message. Did Ethan say that he was in Kim Village?
Ethan had parked at the exit of Kim Village. He waited for about five minutes before he saw Jean walking toward him. Ethan ran over and hugged her. ”Jean, I have finally found you.”
To Jean, Ethan's hug felt strange. She used to look forward to his hug, but now...
Jean pushed him away and looked at him. ”Why did you come here?”
”I called Sonny. He told me that you got in the wrong bus and your wallet had been stolen. I was worried about you. So, I came here to find you.” At first, Ethan seemed genuinely concerned. After making sure Jean was all right, he was full of joy.
