Jessica trudged all the way to the corner of the small garden with her back to the light and sobbing softly.
Jason called her father every week, but never replied to her messages.
He would never come back to her anymore.
Jessica choked through the sobs until she heard footsteps coming up from behind her. She frantically wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to compose herself.
"Jessica?"
When Jessica turned around, she saw Vivian standing behind her. She forced a smile and asked, "Vivi, what are you doing here?"
"I saw you come out here all by yourself and I was worried about you. There are all kinds of people here tonight and it's dangerous to just be by yourself." As Vivian spoke, she walked over and took Jessica's hand. Seeing Jessica's slightly red eyes, Vivian looked away and changed the topic, smiling. "Jessica, let's go inside."
Jessica glanced up at Vivian. She was grateful that Vivian didn't pry about the redness of her eyes. Jessica knew she wouldn't have been able to g
ade up an excuse and left with Jessica.
The waiter found a corner that was hidden away from cameras. He then wiped the glass with his index finger.
He also used the jasmine-scented hand cream.
Unknown to anyone, it was not just a simple hand cream.
After carrying out the plan, the waiter strode over to John's side. "Mr. Shi."
John took the wine glass while the waiter retreated into the background.
"I also want some wine." Nina was about to pick up the glass, but John wasn't having any of her nonsense. He stopped her and said to the waiter, "Orange juice."
The waiter swiftly came back with some orange juice for Nina.
Nina and John clinked glasses.
The waiter stood and watched from afar. As soon as he saw John take a sip, he left.
He marched into the garden and walked past Vivian.
All they needed was a sly glance to understand that the deed was done.
The waiter's payment was placed under the washbasin and he picked it up after washing the hand cream off his finger.
