As I turned to leave, Sean grabbed my arm.
“Wendy, what’s going on with you? You’ve been acting strange these past two days. Are you jealous of Josie?”
He sounded confident, and I almost rolled my eyes.
Not wanting to argue, I just nodded.
He let go of my arm and spoke in a superior manner. “Josie and I are just colleagues. Don’t read too much into it. If you like something, let me know. I’ll pay for it.”
I was about to refuse, but he and Josie had already gone into the dessert shop.
When I left the mall, the weather was nice.
Both of them were waiting for me outside.
Right then, I noticed that Josie was wearing a bracelet. I had bought it for Sean at church two years ago.
It was not expensive, but it almost cost me my life.
I had gotten in a car accident that day and almost died.
However, I had clutched that bracelet tightly, so it was perfectly intact.
Back then, Sean had told me how important it was to him. He promised that he would always wear it and never give it to anyone else.
I shook off the thought and gave Sean a mocking look.
He must have read my thoughts because he quickly tried to explain, “Josie wanted to see it, so I showed it to her.”
Just then, someone with a knife lunged at a nearby person.
It looked like he was about to hit Josie.
Before the knife could reach her, Sean jumped out of his wheelchair. He quickly grabbed Josie and ran.
Meanwhile, I got stuck in the crowd. I stared at Sean as he ran away with Josie in his arms.
He looked for me after things calmed down, but failed to locate me.
He did not know that I had already left the mall. I changed my flight and went to the airport.
