On Friday,

At 4 pm,

Jim arrived downstairs of her apartment.

The car was parked by the side of the road,

He was bored of waiting. He saw a cafe across the street, so he went in and ordered a cup of coffee, waiting slowly.

Hayley hadn't come back yet,

There was a BMW parked downstairs,

David Bashrov got out of the car, took out a large bouquet of white roses from the back seat, and quickly entered the apartment.

Jim wondered if he had the key to her apartment?

Hayley came back around 5: 30.

The car was parked by the side of the road,

When she got out of the car and saw David's BMW, she was immediately displeased.

Then she saw Jim's car parked a little further away, and she was a little happier.

Jim came out of the cafe and hurried across the road,

"Hayley."

"When did you arrive?" She smiled like a flower.

"A little after 4 pm."

"That's good.

Where's he? "She pointed at the BMW.

"Half an hour ago." Jim raised his hand to look at his watch.

"Let's go up and see what he's up to." She handed her schoolbag to him very naturally.

He carried his schoolbag in one hand and held her hand in the other.

They took the elevator upstairs,

They opened the door and entered the apartment,

They saw David placing a small plump vase on the coffee table in front of the sofa. There were a few white roses in the vase.

Seeing her come in,

He smiled and said, "I should have arrived a little earlier. I haven't finished setting it up yet."

"I don't remember giving you the key." Hayley frowned deeply. This guy!

Where did he get the key?

David didn't explain about the key,

His gaze swept past Jim,

It swept past their clasped hands.

"I'll take you out for dinner in a while,

I've booked a restaurant. It's your favorite French food. "

Hayley was a little impatient. "When did I say I was going out for dinner with you?

You didn't make an appointment at all. "

"Do I need an appointment to ask you out for dinner?

Everyone has to eat. Is it different from who eats? "David was actually very calm.

Hayley had a look of "Did this guy take the wrong medicine?" "Is that so?

Then Jim wants to go with us. "

David shrugged. "It doesn't matter. As long as you're happy."

Hayley glanced at him and said to Jim, "Don't let him drive you away again.

Give me the bag, I want to change my clothes. "She took the bag from him and went to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, vases were placed on all the cabinets that could be used to store things, and white roses were everywhere.

The standard of flower arrangement was average, but no matter how the flowers were placed, they were still fresh and full of vitality.

She hated people, but she didn't hate flowers, not to mention the flowers that she liked.

Hayley quickly changed her clothes, washed her face, redid her makeup, and put on the crystal necklace that Jim had given her last year.

Seeing that she was carrying his gift, Jim blushed slightly. "I thought … you threw this away long ago."

"No, this is your birthday present to me. I won't throw it away." She tiptoed and kissed him lightly.

Then, he glanced at David. "Let's go. Drive your car."

David was very calm. "Have you bought a car?"

"Yes, Nissan," she answered curtly.

The advantage of Japanese cars was that they were small, fuel-efficient, practical, and beautiful, and they weren't expensive.

"I wanted to give you a car."

"No, I'm just buying it for school. I'll sell it after graduation. If you give me a car that's too good, I don't know if I'll smash it or not."

"Ha." David smiled. "You don't like me, but you don't hate the things I give you.

You don't have to accept it, but it'll be a pity if you smash it! "He pretended to feel sorry.

"Come on, young masters like you pour a lot of champagne down the toilet at parties every year. Why do you have to pretend like this?" Hayley said bluntly.

Extravagance and waste were a pair of good brothers.

The atmosphere during the meal was a bit strange.

Hayley basically ignored David and only talked to Jim.

After the meal, Jim wanted to pay the bill, but Hayley stopped him. "Are you going to compete with David to see who has more money?"

David smiled and called the waiter to pay the bill.

"This meal is my apology to you.

Haley, please forgive me for kissing you when I was out of my mind.

Jim, please forgive me for driving you away from Hayley's house that day. I have no right to drive you away. It's my fault. "

Hayley sneered contemptuously. "You're always like this, speaking in a strange way.

Last time, you apologized to me in front of Helen, but you mentioned your mother. This time, you mentioned that you kissed me that day.

What?

It's just a kiss. Do you think Jim can't stand it?

I won't forgive you, never.

If you can ignore my wishes once, there will be a second and third time. Why do you think I'll tolerate you? "

"I have to try." David was very calm. "I was wrong before, and I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

Hayley stood up decisively. "You can apologize, and I can refuse to accept it.

I'm going back. "

David walked them to the ground floor of the apartment building.

Jim got out of the car first, turned around, took her hand, and led her out.

David also got out of the car, but didn't go around. "Hayley, I'm going back. I'll come back next Friday."

Hayley didn't respond to him.

*

The same scene repeated over the next few weekends.

Jim felt more and more that something was wrong. It was like a date between three people, and he couldn't get rid of David's shadow.

At the end of October, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What does this guy want?!"

Hayley looked at him strangely. "What else does he want?

Of course, he wants you to leave me angrily. This way, he can take the opportunity to comfort me, saying that beautiful boys like you are unreliable, exaggerated, and heartless. "

Jim was startled. "No, I'm not angry at you. I'm —" But he was still a little angry. She would always agree to dinner and drag him along. Eating too much of such a weird dinner would give him stomach ulcers.

"You don't want to have dinner with him?

I don't want to either, but this kind of person, "she put down the book in her hand," is crazy and can't stand being rejected.

I'm thinking about how to get rid of him once and for all without too much trouble. "

"Have you thought of any ideas?" He liked hearing that.

"Not yet." She was also very troubled.

"I can't be too aggrieved. I thought about finding a chance to use my acting skills when he comes over and call the police to say that he raped me. Believe me, I can definitely convict him, but I don't want to leave any police record."

Jim was shocked. "No!"

"You don't think it's good either, do you?"

Hayley sighed. "I don't want to use this kind of method to frame others by harming myself."

Jim's heart ached. 'This damn rich young master, look at how he's forced Hayley!'

"Think of something else?"
