Chapter 34 Don't Be Afraid Because I'm With You
Smith said, "I'll be there in ten minutes."
Jane said, "I'm fine. Mr. Smith, you don't have to bother to come here."
Smith said, "I'm going to hang up."
Thus, he hung up. Jane couldn't see his expression, so she couldn't know how he felt. She turned around and walked towards the room. After taking one step, she suddenly stopped and tsk. She realized that Hunter answered the call by using her phone. However, she lied to Smith that Hunter thought she was still home, which was full of flaws. Smith must hate people to treat him as a fool.
But then she thought, if Smith thought that she was eager to protect her boyfriend, he would think that it was reasonable. Jane sighed in her heart, "It was Garcia's fault that he had annoyed me, so I couldn't tell a perfect lie!"
Jane went back to the room. Hunter and Baker were waiting for her to start the meal. Upon seeing that Jane went back, Baker asked immediately, "Is everything fine?"
Jane said, "Yes, it's fine. The guest of room 101 is Ken Garcia, and he deceived Smith and asked him to come here."
She picked up food with chopsticks. Baker and Hunter sat opposite of her and stared at her without moving.
Baker eagerly stared at Jane and said, "Ken Garcia? Why did he pay for you?"
Hunter frowned and said, "Who is Ken Garcia?"
Jane replied to Baker, "You're right. He's really annoying."
Then she said to Hunter, "Later you can ask Baker to tell you."
They talked in the room. After a while, Jane's phone rang, and it was from Smith.
Jane quickly answered, "Mr. Smith."
Smith said, "I'm at the door."
She stood up and said, "I'll come out soon."
Jane walked out of the room fast. She didn't find Smith in the hotel lobby, so she stood at the door to look out. She found that a car was signaling her with the headlights. She walked to the car, and after the window was lowered, she greeted Smith.
Smith said, "Get in."
Jane opened the door and sat on the passenger seat. Smith was smoking with the window open, whose expression was hard to figure out, and he said, "How did you get out?"
Jane thought, "How did I get out?"
She thought that she walked out of the room. However, after pausing for a while, she realized that Smith asked her how she got out of Garcia's room.
"I came to have dinner with my friends. The waiter said that a guest from another room sent a bottle of wine to us and also paid the bill because he was an acquaintance of mine. I have no acquaintances in S City, so I wanted to know who he was. However, I found he was the man I met that day. He asked me something, and I answered him the part I should say without telling him other things. He couldn't ask for more information from me, so he let me go."
She said lightly, but Smith imagined other scenes in his mind. He knew the most about what kind of person Garcia was, and it was impossible that Garcia would let Jane go easily.
Smith drew on his cigarette and puffed out a cloud of smoke through the window. He said, "He asked you to swear at me. Why didn't you do that?"
Jane said, "Mr. Smith, you are my first customer in S City, and you gave me a lot of opportunities. I have been grateful in my heart, and I can distinguish who is close or distant, good or evil, and right or wrong."
These were indeed parts of her true thoughts. However, she had the more important reason that she didn't want to offend Smith rather than Garcia.
It turned out that she did the right thing.
Smith tilted his head, and it was hard to figure out his expression. She only heard him saying nonchalantly, "You are sensible."
Jane secretly pursed his lips and thought that she was forced to be sensible.
Smith knew Garcia very well. He asked, "What was his condition to let you go?"
Jane said, "He asked me to take the initiative to say hello to him if we meet each other in the future."
Without any expression, Smith said in a deep voice, "No way."
He said resolutely and unquestionably, which mixed with the anger after being provoked. Jane secretly sighed but said without changing her expression, "Mr. Smith, in fact, you don't need to pay attention to him. I'm not sure whether this example is appropriate or not, that children love to fight for things. As long as one of the children doesn't pay attention to that thing, the other one will not pay attention to it either. However, if one of the children shows more interest in that thing, the other one will be more convinced that this thing is worth fighting for."
After listening, Smith turned his head to Jane and said seriously, "I won't give up my things to others."
Being stared at by Smith with his burning eyes, Jane was like a cat on a hot tin roof. She almost blurted out why he looked at her because she didn't grab his things.
Without waiting for her answer, he asked again, "Are you a thing?"
Jane, "..."
Smith said, "My things, the people around me, even if I don't have to use them, other people can't keep thinking about them."
Jane swore at him in her heart. She didn't want to persuade them to forgive and forget, but she honestly didn't want to get involved in their business. It said that celestial beings would follow the rules to fight with each other. However, this was the fight between the 'Black and White Impermanence', so she didn't know who she could ask to mediate.
Jane was silent. Smith suddenly asked nonchalantly, "Do you want to get involved with Garcia?"
Jane turned her head to look at Smith, and she found although he was expressionless, he was actually angry and easy on the trigger. Therefore, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, I don't. I'm trying to hide from him."
Smith said in a deep voice, "If you want to go to Garcia's family, you will have to teach his father except for him."
Jane held her breath secretly and said without changing her expression, "I didn't expect to be a tutor of his family."
Smith said, "Then stay away from him. If he gets close to you, you can slap him directly. Don't be afraid because I'm with you."
Many women dreamed that a man could say, "Don't be afraid because I'm with you", let alone the man was Smith.
Many women would envy Jane if they only heard the second half of this sentence. However, at this moment Jane only regretted that she came to S City. She regretted that she took the risk of being his family tutor, and she was too arrogant to take control of the situation.
"Mr. Smith..."
Jane opened her mouth to say something but stopped. Smith waited for a long time and finally couldn't help but asked "What do you want to say?"
Jane said, "Mr. Smith, you don't have dinner, do you? Would you like to have some with us?"
Smith didn't expect that she changed the topic so quickly. He felt a little surprised, but then he said normally, "You just go ahead."
Jane said, "You helped my friend in the reception before, so she has been looking for an opportunity to thank you. She is there, and there is no one else. Could you please come and have some tea?"
Smith said as usual, "Maybe some other time. When I called you today, your boyfriend said you were taking a shower. I'm afraid that the next time I call you, he will say that you are changing the sheets."
Jane pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm so sorry. My boyfriend is..."
Smith didn't want to dig deeper. Before Jane left, he said to her, "Justin has recovered, so we'll meet tomorrow at the old time."
Jane stood by the car and nodded, "Okay, I got it."
The window was raised, gradually blocking Smith's good-looking but not smiling face. Jane stood in place, watching him gradually driving away. In her mind was what he said, "Don't be afraid because I'm with you."
Rich people were always confident, as they often said that money was the easiest thing to get in this world. What could this mean? It meant that when people had money, they loved to talk nonsense!
