Chapter 3

Simon put out his cigarette, turned around, and left.

The tears I had held back for a long time finally came out.

After cleaning Peyton's body and burying it, I went straight to the company.

Simon must have told my boss about it. So, I was soon allowed to leave after I submitted my resignation report.

The HR department told me to move out as soon as possible. Someone else was waiting to move in.

I packed my things and left with the boxes.

The elevator door opened halfway. I saw several men in suits standing outside.

I subconsciously moved to the corner.

"Lily Skye?"

I followed the voice and saw Jacob Grant in front of me, wearing a black business suit. He was as handsome as ever but looked more mature.

He went to the same college as Simon and me, and he graduated two years earlier than us.

Jacob was a famous figure back then.

But he and Simon had some conflicts.

Every time when Simon got drunk, he would swear that one day he would defeat Jacob.

Because of that, Jacob and I hadn't had any contact in the past few years.

But the fact was that we were close in college, and he and I had the same professor. So, I was nominally his junior sister.

Recalling the past made my face turn red.

'Lily, what have you become all these years because of Simon?' I sighed.

Jacob must have realized it was inconvenient for me to carry the boxes alone. He offered to give me a ride.

I wanted to refuse, but somehow, I got in his car.

"Where do you live?"

I shook my head. "I quit my job, and my company asked me to move out as soon as possible. So, I'll just live in a hotel for now."

Jacob glanced at me and said, "Let's have something to eat."

I haven't had anything all day.

"Can I drink? I'm in a bad mood today."

Jacob didn't object to me. He ordered a bottle of red wine for me.

He had to drive, so he couldn't drink.

When we finally left the restaurant, I was so drunk that I could barely walk.

Jacob had to carry me into the car.

"Jacob, the last time I saw Senior Levi, he was already fat and bald. How come you are still so handsome and in such good shape?"

I tended to talk when I got drunk. Simon had always hated me like that and told me to shut up.

But Jacob had a good temper. I kept talking, but he just focused on driving.

"Jacob. Senior Levi told me that the most beautiful girl in your class is still single because of you."

"Jacob, do you have a girlfriend? What kind of girl do you like? Jacob, you are so cute. You must have many admirers over the years."

"Senior Levi's wife gave birth to a daughter, which made him very happy. But his daughter looked too much like him. He was worried about his daughter won't find a husband."

"Jacob, you don't have that kind of problem, right?"

"By the way, Jacob. I remember that beauty in the law school also liked you and even wrote you a love letter, but you refused her and made her cry. I saw girl the other day, and she was still thinking about you."

"Lily."

Jacob suddenly turned his head and glanced at me.

"What's wrong, Jacob?"

"Hold on tight. Your seat belt is loose."

I looked down and saw that I had not fastened my belt tightly when I got in the car.

I lowered my head to fix it myself, but I was too drunk to do it myself.

Instead of fastening my own seat belt properly, I accidentally unbuckled Jacob's seat belt.

I apologized and frantically tried to help him buckle it again.

The car happened to go over a speed bump. Suddenly, I lost my balance and fell on his chest.

My head went right into his crotch.

My forehead bumped on his belt buckle hard, leaving a red mark.

Before Jacob could get angry, I started crying. "Jacob, it hurts. Your belt buckle scratched me..."
