Chapter 10 (2/2)
“I even have access to ive commands to every employee in their co my parents and they wouldn’t care less They letI want”
“That is how they love you?” she asked, amazed Jennafei can’t believe that there are parents like theossips regarding Dex’s previous offences at the school that were dismissed because his parents paid for their son’s offence They even bought a big part of the university so all of their son’s offences will be legal
He did not answer Instead, he looked away She actually wanted to ask a follow-up question because he did not give a direct answer to her question but she’s hesitating because he appear to be deeply thinking
That is one of the things she noticed about Dex during the three days he stayed at their house He often looks far like there is so about It’s so unlike him, based on his looks, to be the type of person who thinks hard In her knowledge, people who thinks hard are those who have a lot of issues and probleo-lucky and reckless How could a person like hi issues inside?
“Are you sadthat your father will be leaving for work soon?” Dex asked after awhile
It’s like it just finally sinked in her mind about her father’s departure She just remembered to switch off the recorder “Sad and happy Sad that on’t be together for months but I’m happy because I know that Papa is happy He’s happy, because he can finally gain back his self-estee tiain I know that he’s also sad that he has to leave us again but he’s only doing so because of his family”
Jennafei saw him furrowed his forehead “Is ether?”
She stared at him An idea formed in her head Could it be that he really was not happy being alone in their big mansion? That he was not happyevery time his family leaves for business That he is not happy about their wealth and things he easily get but what he really wants is for his faether
“Well, for etherelse But parents also have ambitions for their family They strive and work hard for the future of their children, to give their faht to prohibit the their dream for us becoain a lot ofinside the shi+p
He did not speak for a while She’s not sure if Dex is sad or what because there is no e Until Jennafei was forced to tell a story to end the deafening silence
“Anyhen Papa ay, it’s like we’re still together because he always calls and texts us During long-distance call, it’s always like a reunion and it’s we’re always loud and happy When he’s sending us a package, ere happy not just because he sent us gifts WE were happy because even when he’s far, he shows us howas she tells the story
She saw his lips curve in a smile but the smile eventually vanished as he looked away She felt that Dex needed to be alone so she told hiarden to water the plants and flowers her mother planted
“You water in the evening?” He asked after following her
“Yes, why? I often water the Plants and flowers are like huave therow beautiful”
She did not hear anything fro at the flowers She smiled as she stared at the lovely flower It’s her arden She can’t help s every time she looks at it
“Lovely,” Dex whispered “Even in the dark”
Jennafei nodded to agree to the coave to her favorite flower
“Even with glasses on,” Dex continued and stopped her s at the flowers but instead at her
He’s obviously referring to her and not the flowers because flowers don’t wear glasses She can’t get used to contact lenses that’s why she will take them off in every opportunity and whenever she’s at home Jennafei sed She does not like the way she face heated up from his compliment
He s at her “Come with me tomorrow”
“W-where?” She cursed herself inwardly Why did she have to stutter?
“I want to be interviewed outside”
“No,” Jennafei answered Her fears on him have faded but she still didn’t trust hi her
“I’ you my plan”
Jennafei ht to say no “Fine! Now go away if you don’t want to be watered as well” In a bad mood, she warned him
Dex just smirked and did not obey her He just watched her as she watered Annoyed, Jennafei pointed the hose on hirabbed the hose from her
They both ended up getting wet and laughing
