Chapter 6 The Reunion After Nine Years (2/2)

”Miguel, I didn't abandon myself. This is my job. At least I haven't slept with someone for money. I'm just earning money with my own hard work!”

”Well, I guess you just wouldn't listen to me!” Miguel was infuriated. He didn't know why Leena just couldn't stop working at that hotel. She had been molested by Carlson, but even if she could handle him, many other men could do the same thi

ng to her in the future.

Leena sighed after a few exchanges and looked at her watch to check the time. ”It's late at night, Miguel. You'd better go home now!”

Miguel simply replied, ”Then you go in first. I'll go when I can't see you!”

She turned around to leave and walked straight into the dark alley. When she heard a car revving not too far away, she knew that Miguel had gone. She couldn’t help but turn her head to look back. His car now vanished from the entrance of the alley.

For some reason, Leena was disappointed. She hoped he could send her to the gate of her house. The alley was pitch black and there wasn't a single light source. Although her home wasn't too far, she still wanted someone to accompany her on the way. Especially the one she trusted and loved, for it would mean that he actually cared about her safety. But Miguel didn’t. He drove away at once before she could even finish her way back home. Was she just too sentimental? What exactly was the nature of their relationship? Why should Miguel bother to send her home safe and sound? She shook her head with a bitter smile painted on her face and just continued her way back home.

Because of frequent rain these days, there was a puddle of water right in the middle of the alley. She paid close attention through the dark. When she saw the quiet water close to her, she took out her cellphone to use its light. However, at that moment, a car passed by the entrance of the alley and its bright lights shone into the whole alley, illuminating everything in it. She was surprised and jumped over the water in a hurry. When she got there, the car simply left. She felt herself extremely lucky. She stuck out her tongue childishly and happily went home.

In fact, the car she just saw was Carlson's. He had followed her for a few days now. Of course, he saw that Miguel himself drove her home. So he waited patiently in the corner and waited for him to drive away. He thought that maybe Leena was passing by the water, so he drove and flashed the bright lights of his car to help her on purpose. Then he parked his car at a corner and started to smoke. With a complex look on his face, he thought that Leena became more and more interesting. He never expected that she had some sort of connections with Miguel and his brother. Did he somehow find a piece of treasure?

In the following few days, Leena waited patiently in an uneasy state of mind for Miguel's appearance. However, it was strange that he didn't show up since then. She couldn't help but guess that she had made him unhappy that night. He had been waiting for her every day. Why did he suddenly ignore her after they finally reunited?

After a long chitchat that day, they didn't keep any contact information of each other, because Miguel didn't take the initiative to ask her, and she didn't even dare to ask. She thought her love finally had a happy ending, but Miguel didn't give her a chance. She had never been able to figure out what was on Miguel's mind. Now, the possibility of it happening was even worse than the odds before.

After another two days had passed, she still hadn't seen him. Due to disappointment, she couldn't help but simply mock herself for hoping too much. Maybe it wasn't that much of a deal. Even if he had kissed her that night, he had been under the influence of alcohol. It didn't mean anything at all. Many men had flirted with her in the hotel before. Why did she care so much about him, of all people?

Miguel just treated her as a woman whom he could have fun with. He had some level of attachment to her, but that was only because they had known each other before. In fact, he might have thought of her as a woman who was easy to be played with. Pondering, Leena felt some sadness inside her. But she gave up trying to think about it so much.

Carlson Qin didn't come to her as well. Everything went smoothly this week. During the weekend, her mother kept urging her to meet the man mentioned last time for a blind date. Aunt Amy had to come to talk with her in person, so she didn’t have much of a choice but to meet him.
