After the accident of her father, she could no longer sleep at night. Sometimes, she managed to fall asleep, but had nightmares all night.
This night, she dreamed about her father again.
She dreamed that she returned to her old house. That big villa witnessed her favorite childhood. She used to walk hand in hand with Joshua and her mother along the street. She remembered his father held her as they played in their garden; but all of this came to an abrupt end in that summer when she was eighteen.
Her dream suddenly transferred as she came to the Joshua Group downstairs. She never witnessed her father’s death, but she kept dreaming of such things. She saw him wearing a suit, even if he was bankrupt, he wouldn’t allow himself in plain clothes or to be looked down by others. His self-esteem propped him up.
Downstairs was her mother crying on her knees. Also the red banner of requiring him to pay his debts. Her mother begged him not to jump over and over again, however, Joshua jumped to his death without any hesitation. From the 20th floor, his body was completely destroyed.
"Ah--!"
The final image fixed on Joshua’s unrecognized face. Janiya woke with a start. After she saw clearly her surroundings, she slowly put her mind at ease.
Here was her old house, nor the Joshua Group. She was in the Nans villa.
Yesterday she was forced to move into this villa, because she had no place to go.
She scratched her hair, ease had gradually come to her. Just at this time, someone knocked on the door. She looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"
Outside the door, it was Mammy Zhang, "Miss Janiya. Master Nigel asked you to get up. Later you’re going to try the wedding dress. The wedding ceremony will be held tomorrow, you have to make preparations in advance."
"Coming!" Janiya scratched her hair and stayed in bed for a while before she finally washed up and got dressed. On her way out, she cleared all her phone messages and communication records, then went downstairs with relief.
So long as she went down, the scent of breakfast came from the living room. Nigel has already sat at the table, watching the latest news on the iPad while eating a western-style breakfast. She stepped softly and sat aside, ready for the breakfast. However, when she saw the food on the table, for an instant she froze and forgot to eat.
At the table, except for Nigel's breakfast, all that left were her once favorite Chinese-style breakfast. The classic small steamed buns, the thick jellied bean curd, the fried bread sticks, and even the fried leek dumplings, all brought her back to the memories of past life.
She used to have a big breakfast every morning with her parents. But since the accident, she began to enjoy sandwiches and coffee, especially coffee, the bitterer the better.
Nigel saw her hesitation, and asked without looking up, "What's wrong? You don’t like these?"
Janiya didn't know why she was so angry. She just felt that she had no decency or dignity in front of him. He knew everything about her; she even felt that he was warning her through all these. So she stood up and flung all foods on the table into ground, soup splashing and steamed buns scattering everywhere. The maid standing aside hurried to clean up.
"Nigel. Do you think that if you get the bottom of my story, then I must obey you? Let me tell you. It just a deal between you and me. From today on, you cannot investigate anything about me. "
Nigel remained emotionless to her words. Instead, he turned off the iPad gently, then stood up, looked at her pair of almond-shaped eyes and said, "Oh....Are you afraid of me to find out something?"
"I hate you. You know, every time you twist the knife made me fell disgusting." Janiya glared at the man in front of her in a rage. But his next move caused her stand stock still with no response.
Suddenly, Nigel reached her, pressing her head towards him, and kissed her heartily. She could feel that his lips were a little cold, his breath was a bit unstable, and the fragrance of fresh mint from his body made her blood freeze.
The crackling sound of slap made Janiya come to her senses.
It wasn't that she successfully hit Nigel. On the contrary, her wrist was tightly grabbed by Nigel. He raised his eyebrows, said triumphantly, "Sorry. I've learned taekwondo, black belt now."
Nigel looked at the woman in front of him with a gleeful smile, as if he was warning, "I found that only when I touch you that you will stay calm. If you are being very unkind, I think it’s the only way to calm you down. "
She hated the feeling of being taken advantage of him but still unable to fight back.
Janiya couldn’t beat Nigel, so she glared at him, then ran into the bathroom to brush her teeth. She wished she could break her teeth to remake one, if it weren’t for she cannot change her anatomy, she would like to have a try.
Nigel kept still and watched her figure disappearing, dabbing his lips with his fingers, showing an enigmatic smile.
On the car, Janiya originally insisted on sitting in the front row, but Nigel threw her in the back of the car. Since moved in to live with Nigel, Janiya felt everything was awkward, let alone be happy. Every day she struggled in her mind over a million times and kept telling herself that she needed to be casual. Only in this way could she subdue her anger.
"Later you are going to try the wedding dress with me. Then I will take you to see some of my friends. As an actor, your behavior should be more convincing." Nigel muttered as he looked at the fleeting scene outside the car window.
Janiya listened, staring at him, then said grumpily, "So...Was this morning also acting?"
Nigel kept silent, gave Janiya a detached look and said, "You’re not supposed to ask these kind of questions."
Janiay was a smart woman. She already understood it after he spoke these words. It seemed that even as the richest man of the country, he still had a difficult life.
One could only understand this truth when he lost his freedom.
The car soon reached its destination and stopped in front of a fancy bridal shop. Janiya knew that this shop was a chain store throughout the country. She saw a lot when she was in C City. Their wedding dresses were very beautiful, but too expensive.
It was said that this bridal shop only gave service to some celebrated stars and wealthy businessmen, excluding those online stars. Their style of work was very highbrow.
"Welcome. Mr. Nigel." The first shop staff, judging from her clothing, didn’t look like an ordinary employee. When Janiya peeked at her name tag, which said "General Manager". It seemed that Nigel was a distinguished guest here.
After all, no one would like to mess with money.
"Mr. Nigel, we have various styles. I don't know which one you are looking for? All of our dresses are classic limited editions, and most of them are unique." The manager looked at Nigel, hurrying to show him their album of wedding dresses. However, he waved to decline, his eyes were on Janiya all the time.
The manager was also a opportunist, she moved to Janiya for showcasing; but Janiya ignored her, appreciating these gowns on her own way, and finally stopped in front of one dress.
Only this one surprised her.
