"Okay." Barry nodded. As he watched Selah walk farther away, he felt an indescribable ripple in his heart. "Be careful!" he blurted out.
Hearing his voice, Selah walked faster with her suitcase.
As soon as she was out of the villa, she could not help but cry. She did not know why she was so aggrieved and full of tears. Tears kept dripping down her face relentlessly.
Holding a delicate lighter in her hand, she continued to walk away from the villa, and most importantly, away from Barry. She recalled the time she had spent as she walked on the streets and lanes just to find the most suitable gift for Barry. Instead of resting on her free time during her shooting, she chose to find a gift for him. She was so excited to see his expression if he would like it, but she did not even have the chance to give it.
"Woo! Woo! Barry Gu..."
Selah cried as she walked. She wanted to throw the lighter away several times, but she could not make up her mind.
"Everybody! Put your hands up!"
"Handsome, come and have a drink!"
"Wow! Let's get high!"
In a bar at the center of the city, Selah was so drunk and her cheeks were extremely flushed. She handed the empty wine glass to the bartender and said, "One more! Give me your strongest one!"
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It rang for quite some time before she swiped the screen to answer the incoming call. "Hello? Who is it?"
"Why is it so noisy? Where are you now?" A familiar male voice came through.
"I... I'm drinking! I'm having a great time! Ha ha! Jaime, why are you calling me?" she asked with a sluggish voice.
"Where are you? Answer me, Selah!" On the other end of the line, Jaime
of a sudden, Jaime's phone rang. He picked it up and answered curtly, "Okay. We'll be downstairs right away. Sure."
"Well, it's time for us to go downstairs. Felicia is already here to pick you up."
"Okay." Selah heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.
"I'll give you some time to think about it. I won't accompany you in your shooting this afternoon." Jaime finally smiled and added, "I'm afraid you'll feel stressed when you see me there."
'How can Jaime be so calm after all of this?! He just finished what he wanted to say in a few minutes. I don't know what to do with his confession though,' Selah thought. However, she did not have energy to care about others now. All she thought about was the man named Barry.
Selah sighed silently. 'Barry...'
In Barry's villa.
Barry was instructing the housekeepers to collect Selah's things.
"Mr. Gu, how about the flowers in the balcony?"
"Hmm?" Stunned, Barry walked to the balcony, and looked at the half-withered flowers. "No need to take away this one."
"Okay, Mr. Gu."
Staring at the flowers, he slowly picked up the small watering can beside and poured some water into it. Behind him, there was a rustling sound of packing up things. For some reason, his heart felt empty.
"Mr. Gu, everything is packed up. We are going downstairs now," a housekeeper told Barry and carried Selah's belongings downstairs with others.
He did not respond. With his hands in his pockets, he turned around silently and looked around the bedroom.
The room decorated in black and white was neat again. Although it was his favorite style, Barry felt a little unaccustomed to it. 'What's missing? Why doesn't it look right?'
