Capítulo 2: Last night, that man actually _1
"Impossible!"
"Erwin Jackson really did... last night..." A crack appeared on Lyra Smith's face as Sophia Jackson's sudden words struck her speechless, feeling absurd and bewildered.
How was it possible for such a bizarre and dramatic event to happen to her??
Sophia asked softly, "Lyra, did you see the face of the man you were with last night?"
Lyra shuddered: "…No."
As Sophia's words reminded her, Lyra recalled the events of last night. Some details were unclear, but she was sure she had never seen Erwin Jackson's face from beginning to end!
Because the lights were never turned on! The room was dim, and she could only rely on her senses to experience the man's touch.
Moreover, she had called Erwin's name, and although he didn't respond, he answered her through action!
Sophia quietly showed Lyra a video of Erwin attending an award ceremony in Country H last night: "Take a look at this."
Lyra took the phone with trembling hands.
As the entertainment industry was internationally connected, celebrities attending fashion events of different countries had become normal. Erwin, a popular male star, was invited by a fashion brand to attend an event in Country H. As an award presenter, his schedule was tight. From boarding the plane at 4 pm yesterday, to arriving in Country H and immediately preparing for the awards, the ceremony lasted more than four hours, ending at 12 midnight.
That is to say, before midnight and at midnight, Lyra was rolling in the sheets with a stranger.
...
To be honest, Lyra couldn't accept that this had happened to her.
Throughout the entire process, she hadn't even seen the other person's face, yet unknowingly slept with a stranger!
Had she lost her purity of 22 years to a complete stranger?
God, just smite her already!
Sophia scolded her, "You're an adult, and you still make such mistakes."
Lyra wanted to slam the table, "It was you who told me to pursue him if I liked him, to be persistent and try harder, and that the worst outcome would be going to jail. If you are too afraid to go to jail, how can you say you like this person?!"
Sophia was choked: "…"
Sophia passed the blame, "It was probably the medication. If you were sober, this wouldn't have happened. Also, I think the man... didn't really see you clearly. Let's just..."
At this moment, Lyra suddenly stood up. Sophia was startled, looking up, "Lyra?"
Lyra said, "After all, I'm an adult, and I understand the situation. So now, I need to find that man."
Sophia stood up, "Are you sure you still want to find him?"
Lyra turned her head to look at Sophia, "I didn't see his face clearly last night, but it's hard to guarantee that he didn't see mine. If it were really Erwin, I wouldn't have cared if word got out since he's my fiancé. But he's not Erwin, and you know how detrimental it could be if this gets out. Many people are waiting to see me fail. The Smith Family's face is thin, we can't lose it so easily."
Sophia hesitated.
Lyra looked at her, "What are you afraid of? Shouldn't I be the one who's afraid?"
Sophia swallowed, "I'm just worried about you."
Deciding to go, she went immediately.
Not wasting a moment, Lyra changed into conservative clothes to cover up any marks and hurried to Moonlight Hotel.
It had been three hours since she left the hotel this morning, and she didn't know if the man had left yet. It would be best if he were still in the hotel; that would make things easier!
At the hotel front desk, she inquired about room 5122 and found out the guest hadn't checked out yet. Excited, Lyra gripped Sophia's wrist, "He hasn't left! There's still time to destroy the evidence."
Sophia trembled, "Are you... are you going to kill him?"
"We live in a society governed by law, it's wrong to call for violence." Having said that, Lyra took a deep breath, her eyes determined, "After taking such advantage of me, I can at least teach him a lesson, right?"
Sophia swallowed and whispered, "Lyra, good luck."
"What?" Lyra didn't hear clearly.
Sophia shook her head, "Nothing, let's go up."
A few minutes later, Lyra stood outside room 5122 and knocked on the door.
The moment the door opened, Lyra felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
