"So that your colleagues will back off." Armando looked up and smiled at her.
"So you let him play my boyfriend?" Janessa opened the refrigerator and was about to take a cold drink when Armando closed the refrigerator door. He pulled Janessa into the kitchen, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it over to her, "Drink this."
Janessa rolled her eyes but drank obediently.
"He just happened to pass by, so I told him that you were working over there and asked him to send you back," Armando said as he brought chopsticks over.
Janessa sat down and took a bite of the food. "Your mother made it?" She looked back at the room, "Where is she? Did she leave? Why didn't she stay longer?"
Armando picked up some food and placed it in Janessa's bowl, "I guess she's going to catch a TV show or something. After you finish dinner, go pack up your things. We're going to spend tomorrow night at the cruise."
Janessa nodded and asked, "What are you wearing tomorrow?"
"Whatever," Armando said.
