Chapter 4: Run away

“Mom, Dad, this is Alisa, my girlfriend.” Jack gently removed my hand from his arm and said.

“Hello you two, my name is Alisa.” I pretended to be shy and bowed my head.

“Hello, please sit down.”

Jack's parents smiled widely, praising me for being beautiful, gentle, and worthy of their son.

Yes, I am very worthy of Jack in this role, but my real identity is like a seesaw, one end on the ground, one end in the sky.

The food was quickly served, and I also ate enthusiastically.

Because I heard about going to a five-star restaurant, I didn't even eat breakfast and brought my empty stomach here.

I may not like beautiful clothes but I like to eat delicious food, delicious food can soothe my heart before soothing my stomach.

Because I often accompany old directors at drinking parties, I am also knowledgeable about business-related issues and I answered fluently his parents' questions about my work.

“I heard from Jack that being a salesperson is very difficult, you have to accompany your boss to drink with your partners. Don't worry, once you two get married, you just need to stay home and have children.” Jack's father spoke up.

“Yes, our family is quite wealthy, has three villas for rent, several boarding houses, and shares in the bank, we don't have to worry about the economy.” Jack's mother continued.

The shrimp had just gone halfway down my throat when it got stuck. I choked up at their wealth. I want to ask the guy next to me if he can turn fake into real.

Compared to my previous customers, he was much more handsome than, tall, clean, and gentle.

If he doesn't like women, I don't mind being his sister, making money together, and sharing it.

“Eat slowly, no one will take it from you.” Jack gently pulled out a tissue, wiped the grease stains on my cheeks, and said.

“Thank you. The food here is so delicious. You should eat it too.” I picked up a piece of meat and put it in Jack's mouth, collaborating with him to play the role of a couple who loved each other to death.

After eating for a while, Jack's parents said they were tired and left first, giving us space to talk.

Without them, I'm not polite anymore, I eat like a hungry tiger.

Jack has to pay anyway, so why not eat?

“What excuse are you planning to use to break up after three months?” I asked while chewing.

“I haven't thought about it yet, just say that we don't have compatible personalities.” Jack answered after a moment of hesitation.

After eating everything on the table, leaving only cups, plates, glasses, spoons, chopsticks, and tissues, I spread my hands in front of Jack and winked a few times.

He nodded and quickly took out his wallet and gave me a wad of cash. The banknotes are very new, have very sharp edges, and can be used as a razor.

“Are you satisfied?” I asked as I put the money in my bag.

“Your acting is very good. Remember, if you are unlucky enough to meet my parents on the street, please say hello to them. After three months, I will announce our breakup and you can ignore them.”

“Rest assured.”

After paying, Jack offered to take me home but I refused and went to the bathroom. Just now, I ate and drank too much so my stomach was a bit bloated.

During the time of flushing to save my life, I pulled out the stack of banknotes and counted them. If a banknote is missing, I will chase him. Fortunately, he paid in full.

I was walking out of the restaurant when I saw a figure that looked very similar to the guy who slept with me for a year.

And when he turned around, I was sure it was Ryan because this was a five-star restaurant, not a bar for low-income people.

Seeing a middle-aged woman carrying a potted plant, I immediately ran to her side, bent over, and walked side by side with her so that the potted plant could act as a shield for me. It can help me get out of here without being discovered by the evil Ryan.

The tricks he used to deal with his opponents were extremely sophisticated, cruel, and completely legal.

“This tree is so beautiful.” I spoke up because I saw the woman looking at me with a surprised expression.

“Of course, its value is great and will be placed in the most luxurious place.” She shrugged, proudly showing off.

The two of us continued to accompany each other. If she goes then I go, if she stops then I stop.

Finally, after showing a smile that was quite similar to the witch's smile, she suddenly changed direction, leaving me unable to react and revealing myself to Ryan's bullet-like eyes.

My feeling right now is like the clothes I'm wearing have been stripped away, bare and cold.

The moment I saw Ryan striding towards me, I panicked, quickly curled up my legs, and ran away.

My eyes wandered around, trying to find my lover whose name was similar to the Caribbean pirate, Jack.

If Jack asked me to give this money back to him so he could help me play the role of lover, I would agree. At least when Ryan sees that there is a man next to me, he will temporarily ignore me.

“Alisa.”

The sound was like an echo from hell, making my legs feel like they had two pairs of wings. I rushed out the main door and ran down the stairs, straight to the parking lot.

“Jack… Jack, honey.” I called out loudly when I discovered my savior.

The man turned and looked at me with a shocked expression. Everyone around me was also surprised by my bell-like voice.

I didn't mean to attract attention, but I was wearing high heels and couldn't run fast. If I was one step slower, Jack would get in the car and Ryan would catch me.

Just a few steps before approaching him, I thought of a perfect scenario to avoid losing the money I just earned. I love money like my life, how can I not think of a way to save it?

“Yes... what's wrong?” His voice stuttered, clearly showing fear.

“It seems like I just saw your parents. It seems…”

Before I could finish speaking, Jack picked me up and carried me towards the car. I hesitantly clung to his shoulders with both hands.

The moment I regained my composure, I looked in front of me and saw Ryan had stopped.

He stood still, like a beautifully carved statue amidst the flow of people, his eyes staring at me.

Fortunately, I was not caught by him.

I hope he doesn't chase me, I hope he forgives me. I am living peacefully, I don't want to run away anymore.
