Bab 147: Another Assailant

Day Fourteen…

~~*****~~

Jack couldn't believe that he let himself be stuck with this strange woman. He was supposed to leave her alone. But after seeing her tears a while ago, he became reluctant to leave her.

Her emotions were unstable so he thought she would be vulnerable alone. What if some bad guys would take advantage of her? With his conscience, he couldn't leave this pretty lady behind.

Kathleen continued chugging down her beer until she became drunk. She talked a lot, expressing her feelings with Jack, the man whom she just met tonight.

Jack just twirled the glass of his whiskey as he listened to her sentiments. She was giggling but at the same time, crying.

"I… like him… for a long time. But I didn't have the courage to tell him. I hid it from him for ten years." 

"I tried to look good and impress him all the time! But he never took notice of me."
