Chapter 140 - Fare

Hearing Janessa's words, Arabella clutched her bag tightly.

Vincent gave a rare smile. His smile was so imperceptible that Janessa thought it was just her illusion.

"Let's go." Vincent held Emily away and walked to the guest house.

They looked like a perfect match and the height difference between was quite cute. Janessa opened the camera hanging on her chest and shot a photo for them.

Arabella's face darkened for she was ignored by them. After people took their luggage and went to the guest house, she finally followed in her high heels.

There weren't many rooms. Two people had to share a room. As soon as Arabella walked in, she saw Emily and Vincent went in the end room. She looked at Randy with confusion and asked, "How can you put them together? What if...?"

Before Arabella could finish her words, Randy shrugged his shoulder and said, "It's Vincent's decision and none of my business."

Hearing this, Arabella went silent.

Jaquan didn't know what to say. He just handed Arabella the key and said, "Take it. Yours is the single-room. I've put down your luggage."

"Thank you." Arabella smiled again.

Jaquan nodded and then walked towards Armando's room with his luggage.

Armando was stunned, "Aren't you gonna sleep with Arabella tonight?"

Jaquan glared at him. "I'm gonna sleep with you tonight."

Armando, "...."

He didn't mean that.

Armando tried to explain, "I mean..."

"When you and Janessa... Damn!" Before Jaquan could finish his words, Armando stopped him by covering his mouth. Jaquan patted Armando's hand disdainfully, "Why do your hands smell so disgusting? What did you put you on?"

Armando smelled his hand and then looked to the ground, "The suitcase."

"Well." Jaquan sighed with relief.

Armando hesitated a while and said, "But on the tire...."

Jaquan kicked him off and said, "Get out of here."

Armando dodged him nimbly. Then he had the reason to go to the washroom and to see if Janessa needed any help.

Randy planned to stay overnight at the guest house and then climbed the mountain the next day. Therefore, his team members all stayed in their rooms and played mobile games.

Armando passed by several rooms. His teammates were all playing games. Finally, he walked to Janessa's room. The door was closed.

He raised his hand and knocked.

Janessa didn't open the door. She probably knew it was him and shouted, "Go and hang out with your friends. Leave me alone."

"Fine." Armando felt depressed and was about to leave.

Janessa sighed helplessly. She opened the door and said, "Come in."

Then, Armando immediately walked in with pleasure.

Janessa took the camera and adjusted the focus. After shooting some pictures, she adjusted the brightness and color saturation. Armando was standing beside her quietly. They enjoyed the scenery together.

There were two beds in the room. Emma was making the bed. Stony took out the slippers in the suitcase and put them in order. Then, he took out a cup. "Mom, I'll go to get a glass of water."

"Ask someone to help you. Don't touch the hot water switch by yourself." Emma instructed.

"I know." Stony replied and ran out with the cup in his hand.

After making the bed, Emma saw Janessa and Armando standing by the window. Although she knew their relationship, she still left quietly.

There was a resting area in the hall of the guest house. She slowly walked to the hall and sat down. It was already the middle of November, but the weather was just right. The breeze brought her the fresh air of the trees.

Jaquan saw Emma after washing his hands in the bathroom. He was curious about her appearance here.

No one was at the front desk, nor in the corridor. Jaquan walked over and sat on the chair opposite Emma and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Enjoy the hot tub." Emma said concisely. Then she took out three hundred yuan from her pocket and placed it on the table.

Jaquan had forgotten about the thing. He was stunned about Emma's action and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The fare that I borrow last time." Emma looked at him helplessly.

"..."

'This woman is really annoying.' Jaquan thought.

Stony came out with the thermos. After seeing Jaquan, he said, "Mr. Jaquan"

Jaquan thought Stony was not that close to him now. He didn't know if this was his illusion. Although they hadn't been that close in the past, Stony should be more familiar with him than with the others. But now the way Stony treated him was not different.

After greeting Jaquan, Stony walked to Emma. He put the thermos cup on the table and whispered, "Mom, can I go watch they play games?"

Emma caressed his head and said, "Sure, but don't disturb them."

"I see." Stony left happily.

The resting area fell quiet again. Jaquan also left. Armando didn't come back yet and Arabella was not in her room. He walked a few more steps and heard Arabella's voice from the end room.

"Vincent, it turns out that the public-interest ad of RH Company is our joint project. I watched the video yesterday and felt that something was missing. I recorded it on my phone. Just have a look of this..."

The door was open. Jaquan could see that Arabella was standing beside Vincent. They got so close to each other. Emily was playing her phone on the bed. She seemed to totally ignore such a scene.

After backing to the resting area, Jaquan found that Emily was not there. Randy and his teammates were playing mobile games. He couldn't find Armando and Ferne didn't answer his call. As for Vincent...

Jaquan sighed and walked out. He saw Emily and the owner of the guest house chatting at the mountain foot. The owner was a man in his forties with whiskers, dark skin and red cheeks. He smiled plainly and pointed at the mountain, "It will take you an hour. It's too late for you to go now and it will be dark two hours later. Go there tomorrow. It's really dangerous at night since there has no lights."

Emily thanked him and then looked at the mountain in front of her.

Jaquan walked out and followed her gaze. Then he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Emily didn't answer him. The owner was still there. After seeing Jaquan, he smiled and said, "She wants to see the Dragon Spring. It's halfway up the mountain. You can enjoy the spring there if it's summer. The water is so clean that you can even drink it after you take a bath in it. But I heard that she is injured. It's dark now. You'd better go tomorrow."

After saying this, the owner left gladly.

Jaquan held his shoulders and looked at Emily strangely, "Are you going to take a bath?"

Emily didn't want to answer him. However, she couldn't help correcting him, "A foot bath."

Jaquan looked at her injured leg and suddenly realized it, "So it gonna help you recover?"

"No."

Jaquan was confused.

He finally drew a conclusion, "You came all the way here for a foot bath?"

"Yes." Emily looked at him as if what she did was completely normal.

"...."

Jaquan didn't want to talk to her anymore. He'd rather be bored to death.

He found a bamboo stool at the entrance of the guest house and sat down. Then he called Ferne.

Still nobody answered.. Jaquan felt very bored and hung up the phone. Then he thought, "Could it be that Ferne is kidnapped?"
