Right at that moment, Jay received a call from Charles asking him to join for a drink at the "old place".
The so-called old place was the Shades Bar, which was often visited by Charles and Jay during summer vacation. This bar was the most luxurious place in the city. Rich and famous people of the city visited there frequently as they were given special treatment there.
So Jay decided to stand Doris up.
Then he drove to the bar to have a drink with Charles.
Sitting at the table, Doris played with the candlestick. Jay had told her that he would come back to join for dinner, but he still didn't show up.
Jay was a liar, a total liar!
She lay on the table filled with dishes and glanced away through her narrowed eyes. She became more and more sleepy and gradually fell asleep.
At about twelve o'clock in the midnight, Jay came back. He thought that Doris should be already asleep at this time, but when he walked into the living room, he saw the candle light in the dining room.
Then he pulled off his tie, changed into slippers and walked
to jump into the cold water to take a shower.
This feeling was intense.
Her consciousness got a little distracted, and she began to miss Jay.
She stumbled upstairs. Jay was leaning against the window in the corridor, holding a half burned cigar between his fingers.
However, at that moment, Doris seemed to be a drowning woman, and Jay was undoubtedly the only man who could save her.
"Jay, Jay, I feel so bad. Please help me..." As her hand was grasping her dress, she stared at him with blurred eyes. She seemed totally different from the graceful and dignified woman she used to be.
The light smell of Jay's lighted cigar was a fatal attraction to her. She was like vines wrapping around Jay, her hands and feet restless.
"How do you feel? Does it hurt?" Jay quickly pressed the cigarette into the ashtray and held her hand to support her.
He had already checked the surveillance video and found out what she had done. When he saw Doris picking flowers from the garden, he knew what those flowers were for.
What did she really want to do?
