I looked at Sean Jessop and didn’t know what he was going to do. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I naively thought he would leave after dinner. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So I cooked and asked him to eat together. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The dining table in this room was round. Sean Jessop sat down, patted the chair next to him and said, “Sit here.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hesitated and sat down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this point, I was thinking of satisfying him and waiting for him to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat down and watched Sean Jessop eat. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A bowl of rice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Two bowls of rice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he asked me to serve the third bowl of rice, I kindly asked, “How come you eat so much for dinner?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop did not answer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t ask him any more and then I served him another bowl of rice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After dinner, he said he wanted to borrow my tablet to work. I dared not refuse and lent it to him. I went to my room alone and texted Daisy Johnson on my cell phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I told her all about Sean Jessop’s anomalies today. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy Johnson responded, “He likes you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said, “That’s impossible.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Later, Daisy Johnson kept saying, “Men are cheap. When he has you, he doesn’t treasure you. When you don’t like him, he will like you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She talked about the theory for more than an hour. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I looked at my watch again, it was 11 o’clock. I went to the living room to ask Sean Jessop when he was leaving but I saw him sitting on the sofa with my tablet computer in his hand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But his posture was a little strange. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went over and asked him, “It’s so late. Don’t you go back?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m not going back.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop said firmly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought he looked a little strange. I saw a layer of sweat on his forehead. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His face was a little white. He was obviously out of order! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What’s wrong with you?” I went up and half squatted down to ask him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m all right.” Sean Jessop shook his head, pretending to be calm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I had noticed that his face was not normal. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“If you don’t feel well, we need to go to the hospital.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was going to make an emergency call but he stopped me. “Do you have any stomach medicine in your house?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Stomach medicine?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Only then did I realize that he must have eaten too much at night and had a stomachache! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I just arrived at this house and hadn’t bought these standing-by medicines yet. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’ll go out and buy it for you.” I was going to wear shoes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fortunately Sean Jessop had been in the house before. I hadn’t changed my clothes. It was convenient now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I poured him a cup of hot water before I went out and coaxed him into bed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After I hurried downstairs and bought a pile of stomach pills, painkillers and food tablets, his shirt was soaked with pain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him with pity. I fed him medicine and sat aside. I couldn’t help blaming him, “Your stomach is not healthy. Don’t eat so much food at a time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop closed his eyes and said nothing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at his painful expression and thought of my childhood. Every time I had a stomachache, my aunt in the orphanage rubbed my stomach. My stomach wouldn’t hurt anymore. I said, “Let me rub your belly.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I regretted it as soon as I said it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop was the president of the Giant group. How could he possibly allow me to do that? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But when I waited for him to reject me, I saw him pull his shirt out of his belt and reveal his strong abdominal muscles. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned for a moment before I knew that he had agreed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t repent what I said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had no choice but to heat my hands and rub his stomach slowly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After a while I asked him, “Are you feeling better?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop nodded slightly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He did not speak and his eyes were closed. But his expression was no longer as cold as usual. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He lay in bed like a obedient child. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I first met Sean Jessop more than a decade ago. At that time, he was so weak lying in bed… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I fell into memory, the man slowly opened his eyes and looked at me and said, “Get ready for me to take a bath.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was ordering me again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I watched his face recover as usual and was not angry at all. With a sigh of relief, I got up and went to prepare water for his bath. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The bathtub was almost full. I was about to turn around and call him but I saw him standing behind me. His shirt had been stripped off and he was wearing only pants. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His belt was unfastened… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You!” I blushed quickly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly walked out of the bathroom, closed the door and said, “You take a shower, I’ll go to bed first.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
By this time I had understood that he was a patient and I could not drive him away. He was sure to sleep here tonight. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at the bed in the big bedroom. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This was my first night in this house. But I couldn’t sleep in this big bedroom… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sighed a long sigh and went to the small bedroom with a little complaint. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I reported to Daisy Johnson and soon fell asleep. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After a while, I felt my quilt lifted. Then I was picked up! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was frightened to exclaim but I soon realized that Sean Jessop had finished taking a bath. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Where was he going with me? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I opened my eyes and sneaked a glance at the man. His upper body was naked. The cold moonlight shone on his strong muscles. It was tempting. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was an unexplained agitation in my heart and I closed my eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Soon I felt the man put me in bed again and hugged me from behind. His wet hair rubbed against my cheek and I itched a little. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was afraid of what he was going to do, I felt his thin lips sticking to my ear. He said in a very soft voice, “June Carter, I seem to like you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
These words shocked me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What did he mean? He liked me? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How was that possible? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe Daisy Johnson was right. Men would not cherish you until they lost you. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t really like you. Because you were no longer under his control, he had a sense of frustration. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought for a long time and finally fell asleep in his breath… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I woke up the next morning, Sean Jessop and I were still in the same position last night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I got out of his arm and got up to change my clothes. I cooked our breakfast and was ready to go out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Ming Jessop’s door open, too. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It suddenly occurred to me that Sean Jessop’s shoes were still at the door. I hurried out and closed the door! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Good morning.” Ming Jessop looked at me with a smile on his lips. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Good morning, brother Jessop.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I remembered what he told me yesterday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After we went downstairs, Ming Jessop offered to send me away but I refused. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got to the company, I met Daniell Cook in the tea room. Just as I wanted to say hello, Daniell Cook’s cell phone rang. I waited intently for the water to boil. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell Cook answered the phone and listened for a few seconds. His face changed greatly. “What? You wait! I’ll go right now!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
