I hesitated for a moment, but I picked it up.
“Hello.” I said first.
There was silence over the phone. No one spoke.
There was not even a sound.
“Hello?” I said again.
No one spoke.
I thought he called the wrong number so I hung up immediately.
I was still waiting for Sean on the sofa that night.
I was disappointed when I woke up on the sofa and saw that the sun outside the window had risen
completely and it was nine o’clock.
Sean’s slippers were still at the door as they were yesterday.
It proved that he had not come back.
I didn’t even have a missed call on my cell phone.
Where did he go? If he didn’t come back before, he would at least send me a text message.
I called Sean.
No one answered.
I was worried and wanted to call Daisy, but I was afraid she would lose her temper. If Sean did have an
enemy, she would be involved.
All day I hesitated to call Sean again.
Because of my disfigurement, I even began to wonder if Sean didn’t like me.
I was depressed that day.
But Sean was back at nine o’clock in the evening.
“You’re back.” I stood in the living room.
When I saw Sean, I was a little overwhelmed.
There were some snowflakes on the shoulders of his black clothes. I said, “is it snowing outside?”
“Yes.”
Sean changed his shoes and walked in.
I thought he would go upstairs again, but I didn’t expect him to come up to me and hug me. “Sorry, I
didn’t contact you yesterday.”
This time I could smell that he had a faint smell of perfume besides cigarette smoke.
I felt upset for some reason.
I couldn’t help but say, “can you give me Cindy’s number?”
“She?”
Sean seemed surprised.
He looked down at me. His black eyes were a little secretive.
“Yes.” In fact, to some extent, I wanted to see Sean’s reaction.
Sure enough, he was surprised.
I explained, “last time my grandma was ill and Carter Family didn’t want to pay, so I sold the house. It
happened that the buyer was her. Now my grandma died, and that’s the only thing she left me. I want
to buy it back.”
“I see.” Sean seemed relieved. “I’ll tell her for you.”
“I will say it myself.”
I said decisively.
I really wanted to buy back the house so I wanted to find Cindy. By the way, I’d like to ask about her
and Sean.
I was afraid Sean was lying to me.
Sean hesitated and finally found a number in his cell phone for me.
As soon as I wrote down the number, the screen of my mobile phone lit up.
It was Daisy.
“Hello.”
“June, June, where are you? Come and help me!”
As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Daisy crying.
I got nervous. “What’s the matter? Where are you? Speak slowly!”
“I’m at my door.” Daisy’s voice trembled. “I turned down a suitor before, but he came to my house. Can
you come quickly?”
“OK, OK, wait for me. Don’t move.”
I felt flustered.
I quickly ran upstairs and changed, then I went downstairs and rushed to the door. When I put on my
shoes and just wanted to go out, my arm was pulled.
Then I heard Sean’s unhappy voice, “where are you going?”
“Something happened to Daisy. I am going to her.”
I said without hesitation.
“You alone?”
I was stunned by his words.
I hadn’t thought about going with Sean.
Yes, I should go with Sean. When I realized it, I immediately said, “can you come with me? Daisy met a
pervert. She’s out alone now and it’s snowing.”
I said a lot.
He didn’t speak and put on his shoes and clothes he had just taken off and went straight out to start the
car.
I sat on the copilot and smelled the perfume on his clothes.
Had Cindy ever been in this car?
I felt annoyed at the thought of it.
Nearly half an hour later, we arrived at Daisy’s house. I saw Daisy standing outside in a red coat.
She was very beautiful in dress and make-up.
Many passers-by were looking at her.
“Daisy!” I quickly ran over and asked nervously, “what’s the matter?”
Daisy didn’t look at me but at the car behind me. She was silent for a while and said, “there was a man
on the plane who asked for my phone number shamelessly and I didn’t give it to him. But he found my
phone number and address! I almost got raped by him!”
“God! Did you call the police?”
“Not yet! He went to my door and scared me to death!”
Daisy exaggerated.
I looked at her and thought she didn’t seem afraid at all.
Before I spoke, Daisy grabbed me directly and said, “it’s too cold outside. Go to the car quickly.”
“OK.”
At this point, I seemed to have realized what Daisy was going to do.
But I couldn’t ask Sean what he did so I could ask Daisy to ask him. If only he could tell me.
As Daisy and I headed for Sean’s car, a sports car stopped behind us.
Before we got on the car, a man got off the sports car. He waved to us, “Daisy!”
It was Jack!
Sean got out of the car, too.
Four of us stood together. Sean said first, “I asked him to come. Daisy has an accident, so I think he’s
fit to help.”
“...” Daisy’s face turned bad. She tugged at the dress and shivered, “I’m too cold. Can we find a warm
place to talk?”
“OK!” Jack fawned on Daisy. “Come on, get in my car.”
Daisy also seemed embarrassed to take Sean’s car. She had no choice but to take Jack’s car.
Soon Sean drove to a fancy hotel and opened a suite.
We went upstairs to the suite.
The heating in the room seemed to have been turned on ahead of time. It was very warm when you
entered.
Daisy took off her coat. Her long sexy sweater came out. Jack was staring at her.
Sean and I sat on a divan. He put his hand on my shoulder and looked at Daisy and said, “Daisy has
been acting for a long time. You must have something to say.”
