Serenity wrapped her hands around Jackson's neck, gazing at his familiar face up close.He's... Jack. The Jack that she could always... rely on."I'm so happy today, Jack," she whispered.His eyebrows furrowed hearing that. "Happy?" "Yeah... So happy... Watching the show and dancing along makes me forget all my problems..." she mumbled.What kind of problems was she trying to forget? She couldn't remember anymore.But holding onto Jack like this made her feel safe. It was a feeling that she had not had for a long time."Lisa said... the band earlier... have been very popular lately...""Lisa likes the guy who dyed his hair white, but... I prefer the one... with black hair... I've always preferred dark hair." "I... wanted to fight for their clothes too... when they took off their clothes and threw them to the crowd...""Lisa said... if I really liked the vest she got, she would give it to me..."Connor could feel the atmosphere in the car getting heavier as Serenity spoke.
He vaguely remembered having the same conversation with her once, back when they had just started living together.Back then, her answer was..."Of course I'd like you, Jack!" Serenity grinned, though it was a drunken smile. Her answer was the same as before.Was she only saying that because she was drunk? Back then, she was his Sis, and he was her Jack.He asked her again, "If I'm good, will you be my Sis?" Be his Sis, and stay by his side.Although he couldn't give her love, he could give her everything else.He could make her dreams come true. He could make the people who looked down on her bow down to her. He could help her become someone important.As long as... she remained by his side.That might be the only way to make him feel better."Sure, but... I'm already your Sis," she said softly, "Jack, don't be scared... I'll protect you... I'll definitely protect you..."As she talked, her eyes slowly closed. Her voice kept getting softer until finally, she dozed off.He s
The maid made hangover soup while Terry sat Lisa down on the couch. He promised to drive her home after she finished the soup.But Lisa pouted and said, "I don't want to go home! I want to watch the show! Take me back to the bar right now so that I can ogle at hot men!"That annoyed Terry. "Ogle at hot men?! Lisa Quest! You told me you had to work, but you went to a bar instead?! How dare you?! I need to teach you a lesson!"Lisa's body tensed. Even though she was drunk, she knew she was the one in the wrong. "How did you... find me? I... I didn't tell you I went to the bar!" she grumbled, still displeased. "How do you think?!" he grunted in annoyance. If she hadn't posted that picture on social media, he would never have found out."Give me the vest," Terry demanded. It annoyed him to see her hold onto another man's vest. "No!" Lisa shook her head vehemently, clutching the vest even tighter. "It's mine! *hic* I fought hard for it!"Fought hard for it?! Terry was so mad he s
However, that threat seemed to be effective against Lisa. Her hands, which had been holding onto the vest tightly, relaxed slightly, but her expression remained unwilling. "Terry, you... you're so mean. You won't even let me keep a little vest?" She spoke with difficulty, her drunken eyes looking pitiful."Didn't you say I was better looking? Why do you still need another man's vest?" he rebuked, forgetting that he was arguing with a drunk person. "They... can dance, unlike you," she grumbled. Terry was exasperated. He said, "How do you know I can't?""Show me, then. I want to see... a strip dance..." she said.He stared at her, then said, "If I dance for you, do you promise you won't think about other men anymore?" "Yes, I promise!" She nodded her little head vigorously. "Okay, but if you go back on your word..." Terry paused briefly before continuing, "Well, it's not like I'd give you a chance to go back on your word anyway." He then started to unbutton his shirt and
"Yes, sir! I'm sorry, sir!" The maid quickly put the bowl of soup down and left the living room.Lisa and Terry were alone once again in the large living room. "Lisa, get up!" Terry commanded."No!" Despite being intoxicated, she said that loud and clear."Quit fooling around. Be a good girl and drink the soup," he coaxed in a gentle tone. If his subordinates were to see this, they would be shocked.He was never one to easily form bonds, so he had never coaxed anyone like this. She was the only exception."Terry, I don't know what to do. I think I'm falling *hic* harder and harder for you..." she mumbled.He knew she was drunk so he shouldn’t take her words seriously, but he still felt like his heart had been hit by something heavy. "If you really like me, why do you still go to those shows and snatch another man's clothes?" "I wanted to... help Serenity... de-stress... Hehe... Also, they're hot... But..." she hiccuped again, then put her hands around his face, "I just like t
However, she felt some regret as she couldn't remember much from last night because she was drunk.Suddenly, she remembered something and shouted, "Where's Serenity? I was with Serenity yesterday!"Terry became upset with her again. "Oh, were you with Serenity yesterday? I thought you were working on a project?"Lisa shrunk back guiltily. "I was just trying to make Serenity feel better. Besides, I really was working on a project during the day. I only went to the bar with Serenity in the evening!""Then what about the vest? I've never seen you fight for my vest," he said angrily, but his hands remained gentle."I... I grabbed it for Serenity!" Lisa quickly used Serenity as a shield.It wasn't a complete lie. She did offer to give it to Serenity."Wait, what happened to the vest?" She realized with a jolt that the vest was gone."I threw it away," Terry replied.Lisa blinked a few times, then wailed, "Why?! Why did you throw it away? I could have sold it online for a few thousa
"Then... they knew that we... Oh my god!" Lisa cried. Her parents were very conservative. If they found out that she slept with someone, would they punish her when she got home?"Are you that ashamed to be with me?" Terry got upset. She was treating him as if he was an embarrassment."No, not at all! Being with you is my greatest honor!" Lisa quickly said, "It's just that my parents are kinda conservative. I don't know if they're okay with this." It seemed like every time Terry was mad at Lisa, she would always say something that amused him. "All I told them was that you had a little wine and would be sleeping over in my guest room." Phew!Lisa breathed a sigh of relief."Get dressed. We'll go down for breakfast. Some hangover soup will make you feel better," he said. She never got the chance to drink the bowl of soup he asked the maid to make last night. "Okay!" said Lisa.Terry got out of bed and handed Lisa a new set of clothes. He then retrieved his own clothes and began
"I'm fine. Terry took me back to his mansion to spend the night," Lisa was too embarrassed to tell Serenity that she pounced on Terry once again.During breakfast, Terry told her with a serious tone, "You keep doing that kind of thing to me. If you don't take responsibility, I'm gonna kill you." Lisa was speechless. Wasn't it always the woman who was disadvantaged in that kind of situation? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for her to say that to Terry?"Will you take responsibility?" he asked, staring right at her. "Ugh... I will," she answered with a nod under his intense stare.Recalling what happened that morning, Lisa was speechless, but it was also kinda sweet. Being compelled to take responsibility by Terry didn't feel that bad!After chatting with Serenity briefly, Lisa put away her phone and turned on her work computer, ready to start working.On the other side, Serenity also set aside her phone. Staring at the files on her table, she fell into deep thought.Her mind w
