"Yes, I'm coming! I'm coming out right now!" Doris yelled back from inside the restroom cubicle.
"Damn it! Why is the door locked?" a voice complained from outside the restroom.
"What's wrong with that door?"
"Hey, waiter! Could you open this door? Come on!"
Thud! Thud! Thud! The sound of knocking kept coming from the outside of the locked restroom door.
Jay's face immediately darkened. He ground his teeth as he considered the situation.
"Do you plan to sleep in here, Doris?" Jay asked in an irritated tone of voice.
"No! You bastard! Come in here! My belt got stuck and I can't undo it!" Doris shouted out at Jay from
inside the restroom cubicle.
Jay balled his hand to a fist and slammed it on the wall. "Doris..."
He felt like he was starting to lose his temper as he walked towards the restroom cubicle where Doris
was.
But he never hurt women nor even scolded them. He had enough patience to endure whatever came to
him.
Jay went into the cubicle and his simmering anger quickly melted away when he saw her embarrassed
and pitiful look.
Her face was so red with embarrassment. She kept trying to loosen her belt from the iron ring of the
water pipe behind her. Her pants were loose and kept dropping down her legs. And the more she
pulled up her pants, the tighter her belt got stuck.
"Doris... ...what..." Jay was at a loss for words when he saw the situation. He decided not to say
anything and just proceeded to help her with her belt.
"Don't pull it too hard, Jay. If my belt breaks, that's going to be a completely different problem," Doris
said in a worried tone.
Jay thought that his own belt not be broken easily even with some sharp tugs on it. He was convinced
normal belts wouldn't break from human strength alone.
But then again, that was his belt, not Doris' belt.
Unfortunately, Doris' belt was not made of leather at all. So, when Jay pulled hard on it, it didn't loosen
from the iron ring, but broke instead.
Doris jumped up immediately. "Oh no! My belt!" she exclaimed.
The knocking from outside told her that there were many people outside. She could not go out with a
broken belt.
Before they could do anything, the toilet door opened suddenly with a loud banging sound as it
slammed on the adjacent wall.
The people outside flowed into the restroom.
"Hey, look!"
"There's a man and a woman in here!"
"There are so many private rooms here. Why did you have to do it in here? What were you thinking?"
They were immediately flooded with questions that they had no chance to explain themselves.
"It's not... ...well...my belt...was..." Doris attempted to explain the situation but was unable to.
"We saw everything. You didn't even bother to lift your pants."
Doris was left speechless from all the people talking.
"So what? I wanted the bathroom tonight. Got a problem with that?" Jay quickly became annoyed.
'What exactly did these people thought they saw?' he thought to himself irritably. People just kept
saying things at them without even knowing what really happened.
Jay never lied about his relationships with other women. Thus, he never felt the need to do it secretly
for any reason.
"Mr. Fang... ...what're you... ...I didn't see you just now!" The men finally recognized Jay, and they knew
immediately that he was not someone that they would dare to offend.
They suddenly feared for what they said earlier and for barging into the restroom.
"Then get the hell out of here!" Jay growled at them.
"All right, all right! We're leaving, we're leaving!" The men hurriedly left the restroom and held back their
urine.
Doris gave Jay a thumbs up and smiled at him. "Benefits of being rich and powerful. Isn't it, Mr. Fang?"
Doris said half jesting.
But Jay said nothing back to her. He silently pulled out Doris' broken belt from the iron ring.
"What do you think you're doing?" Doris asked in panic as she instantly grabbed her pants and
screamed.
"We can't let ourselves get trapped here because of your dreadful belt. It would be completely fine if
we're inside a hotel bathroom. But this is a public bathroom of a bar. Do you have any idea how dirty
this place is? People with all sorts of diseases have been in here. If we stay here any longer, we might
end up getting infected by something nasty."
"Please stop! Stop it!" Doris said worried as she felt her whole body suddenly itch.
Jay couldn't help but snicker as he took off his belt and handed it to Doris. "Here's my belt. Use it
instead to keep your pants up. But don't forget to give it back tomorrow, okay?"
"Yeah. Sure." Her mind was filled with how much bad luck she'd had since she met Jay.
A group of people stood at the corridor that led to the restroom when they came out. They stood silently
watching them as they walked out.
"Look! Mr. Fang and his girl are coming out!"
"Look! It's that girl! She must have done something shameful inside!"
"She is actually good if she managed to hook up with Jay. Just imagine what she must've done to get
him."
But Doris never had the same patience as Nancy.
She pointed threateningly at the face of the women who were talking about her just then.
"Say one more word, and I'll tear up your mouth until it's twice as big. I dare you!"
She looked so malevolent that she instantly frightened the girls. They shrank back like turtles retreating
into their shells and left immediately in disgrace.
When Jay heard what Doris said, he was so amused that he laughed out loudly. He wondered if she'd
kill all of his girlfriends if he married her. Somehow, he was convinced that she would.
It was horrible and amusing at the same time.
He tucked his hands into his pockets and walked outside of the bar.
Doris followed closely behind.
"You're walking too fast. Were you planning to leave me in there? Mr. Fang, let me remind you, if you
get rid of me, then the one hundred million would be gone. It's kind of a break-up fee. If you leave me,
then we're even. Is that okay with you?" The table that was worth one hundred million weighed down
her heart like a granite stone that it made it hard for her to breathe whenever she thought of it. So, she
thought of making up that ridiculous proposal.
"Break up with you? In your dreams, Doris." Jay poked Doris' forehead with his finger. "I've been with a
lot of women before but I have never spent as much money on anyone before. So you... ...And you're a
girl that I don't even like at all. And yet, you made me lose one hundred million in a single day. You'd
better be ready to work for me for the rest of your life, Doris. I know that you're trying to get away from
it all, but it sounded so ridiculous that you really shouldn't mention it again!"
But her tricks were so simple that Jay was able to see through them immediately.
Doris instantly covered her belly with her hand and then cried out, "Oh, I feel so sick! I really feel so
very sick!"
Jay turned to her with a raised eyebrow and curled lips. "Desperate times require desperate measures,
right?"
"No! I didn't..." Doris stood up straight immediately with a look of disappointment. "I was drunk! It's only
normal that I would have a stomachache."
"This man's heart is as hard as a stone! He has no idea how to properly treat a woman!" Doris muttered
to herself in a tone of defeat.
Jay walked to his car and opened the door. He then got in and sat at the driver's seat.
Contrary to what Doris thought about Jay, everyone in the city knew Jay as a tender-hearted man.
But the woman he was with acted as if she was not a lady at all!
He started the car; his face looked emotionless as the engine hummed to life.
Doris walked towards the passenger's seat and got into the car beside Jay's seat.
"I live at No. 132 on Island Road..."
"What? Why didn't you live in outer space instead since you chose to live that far anyway, Doris?"
It was already half past eleven and the trip there would take at least two hours. Jay knew that he
wouldn't be able to sleep if he took her there and then drove back.
"I actually wanted to live in outer space, and I wanted to see how men in outer space looked like. I bet
that they are more handsome, gentle, and easygoing than you."
"Just shut up!" Jay roared at her.
Doris suddenly covered her lips with her hand and didn't say anything else.
And because Jay was distracted by his sudden rage, he didn't notice that his car had swerved into the
green belt of the road.
When he realized what was happening, the car was already headed straight to an avery tree.
"Hold your head down with your hands!" Jay might be a very good driver, but everything happened so
fast and the situation quickly got out of control.
