Falling in Love with a Bad Boy No Escape(4)
12In the second half of the meal, Yohannes was absent-minded. Although he still listened to me, smiled, and said funny things from time to time, I could tell he seemed to be pondering over something.I was keenly aware that Yohannes was worrying about something."What's wrong? Did something upset you?"Yohannes replied innocently, "No. What makes you say that?"I shrugged and didn't say anything more. The atmosphere became a little quiet.I suddenly realized where the silence came from. In the past, Yohannes always talked and laughed cheerfully at the dinner table. In addition, I was immersed in my pain and sadness back then, only enjoying Yohannes' warmth and not paying attention to how he was at all. I didn't care if he was chatting or silent, or if he was really happy or just behaving that way to cheer me up.Ah, I just realized what a scumbag I was.I decided I had to treat Yohannes better.There was really a huge difference between a 9 to 5 job and a 10 to 5 job.Althou

15Jasper said that he appreciated my enthusiasm for art and hoped to promote me so that I could have the opportunity to participate in foreign art exhibitions, get in touch with more artistic works, run some projects with my own hands, and get in touch with outstanding people in the art circle within and outside the country.I subconsciously refused. I could not even draw a portrait. Compared with professionals, my insights into paintings were just based on inadequate information, let alone go deep into the upstream and downstream of the art industry. How could I do that?Nevertheless, Jasper told me very seriously that he believed in my perception of the work, and this empathy was exactly what the creative industries needed.To be honest, his suggestion was not untempting. I could go further on the career path and be exposed to a lot of creative things. Unlike sitting in an office building and thinking about how to take advantage of the users, I would have more opportunities to s

17Yohannes was very concerned about my work and thought that I disrespected him very much because I did not discuss it with him in advance. He mentioned my condition repeatedly, although I felt fine.I mentioned that I often forgot to take medicine recently, and the symptoms did not worsen. I should be getting better.Yohannes was stunned. He said in a serious tone that the medicine could not be stopped; otherwise it would be difficult to cure it. He also said that he would pay more attention to reminding me in the future.When Yohannes heard that Jasper was my new boss, he began to be jealous again. "The man who sent you back last time is your boss? Which boss will simply send a female employee home? And he only sent you...""It's just a coincidence because I didn't bring an umbrella..."Yohannes did not give up and he frowned. "So how long have you been working?"I smiled awkwardly and told him by shortening the period I worked.If Yohannes heard that I was going on a busine

19When we flew back and got off the plane, I refused Jasper's offer for a ride home. Instead, I hailed a taxi on my own, planning to comfort Yohannes later.It was a blessing for me to be able to have a normal job at that time. Not only could I devote myself to work, but I could also brave the challenges of both work and life. Gone was the fear in me, even when I came across a new environment or met some new faces. I could not have dreamed of attaining such a feat had it been a few months back.I could not wait to share my joy with Yohannes.He would be happy for me, too, I believed. Anyone would be glad to see their partner glow with confidence and move forward in life. Yohannes was the one who lifted me up and led me away from the dark stretch of living hell. He was my savior, my hero.All of a sudden, I received a call from Daniel.He sounded a tad hesitant on the other end of the line as if he was still considering whether to talk to me or not. What he said next almost stunn

21When I was in Grade 7 that year, a boy was transferred to the class. He was well-dressed and elegant, just like a prince. After school ended, there was always a black car to pick him up.At that time, those young children did not prioritize money, but it was more about strength and achievement. Thus, tall burly boys always had the right to speak. As such, someone like Jasper looked slightly more awkward in such an ordinary public school.It was unknown whether Jasper was quiet and shy by nature or whether some people had deliberately isolated him. No one became his friend. He always walked through the school building alone. When he was attending classes or reading books, there was no fear on his face. However, there was no joy as well. It was as if he was living in a vacuum.Who was fond of staying alone forever? He must have wanted to have his own friends, but perhaps he was too reserved that he did not dare to take the initiative. I could not stand to see anyone be this lonely

23Yohannes did not show any anger or shout at me after hearing about the breakup. Moreover, he did not even show that he was surprised. He merely said in a calm tone that he took note of it. It was difficult to know what he was thinking.I felt that I had never really known Yohannes from the beginning. At least, I never knew everything about him."Let's have a meal together after I cook it. We can treat it as our final goodbye." He added sadly, "You used to like eating the food I cooked. Let me cook it for you once again."The sadness in his words made me sad as well. Thus, we sat down at the table and had our last meal together.There were honey-glazed ribs, beef brisket with potatoes, salt and pepper spare ribs, and poached sea bass. All of them were my favorite dishes and looked absolutely mouth-watering. They filled the entire table. It was supposed to be our final farewell.While eating, all the previous scenes filled my mind.The one about us having our meal at the table,

25I wondered who would come to my rescue.My phone was in Yohannes's hand. He might have already pretended to be me and contacted others to pretend nothing had happened. No one in the world would be observing me so carefully. Perhaps, just like last time when the psychopath kidnapped me, no one would notice that I was kidnapped until two weeks later.I was wrong. I should've left Yohannes decisively when I first noticed something was off about him.Natalie was right when she said I was weak. To some extent, I seemed to long for the warmth that Yohannes gave me and subconsciously hoped that we could go back to the past.I didn't completely regain my senses until I was trapped in the utility room.No one in the world would be good to someone unconditionally. They must have had other intentions if they treated someone too well.The utility room became a prison. I lay down on the narrow folding bed every day in despair, looking at the ceiling in a daze and fantasizing about the day

27"It's the footage of the car's dash cam. Some dash cams have the function of motion detection. As long as the setting was turned on, even if the car was turned off, it'll start filming when it sensed there were moving objects within the camera range."I clenched my fists for fear of missing out on what Jasper said."It took Leticia 25 minutes to get home. She might have gone missing on four streets. There was a total of 19 cars parked on the four streets that night. 16 of them were equipped with a dash cam, and nine of them had motion detection functions." Jasper was calm and continued to analyze incessantly like a detective.He then continued, "Seven of them turned on the function. In the footage of the seven cars, a total of 57 pedestrians passed by the streets in that 25 minutes."Yohannes was getting a little impatient. "What are you trying to say? Are you deliberately stalling for time?""This was a huge investigation process because someone might have ambushed ahead of t
