Soon, one week went by. It was the day Megan and Jake would visit Queenston Village.
The outburst Megan thought would follow did not materialize. She was glad since Jake did not show up. However, the occasional uneasiness in her heart reminded her that Jake was a time bomb.
That morning, she was woken up by the continuous honking of a vehicle downstairs.
At first, she thought that it was the doing of some unscrupulous drivers. It was not until she saw the twenty over missed calls on her phone that she realized that she was the reason for the honking.
“Stop it. I'm coming now!” she shouted at the Mercedes-Benz downstairs after putting on
clothes and drawing the curtain open.
She used ten minutes to put on a simple makeup and picked up the flight ticket that Jake had given her beforehand.
“Aren't you going to have your breakfast, Megan?” Donna hurriedly called out to her as she saw Megan leaving the house with her bag right after she placed the breakfast on the table.
Waving her hand, Megan took a packet of milk and stuffed it into her bag. Then, she quickly opened the door and replied, “No. Didn't you hear the honks? It was Jake. Don't wait for me for dinner tonight. I'll see you the day after tomorrow!”
Without giving Donna a chance to ask further, Megan hurriedly closed the door and ran downstairs.
After a few minutes, she got downstairs and saw a black car. Deep down, she did not want to see Jake, but she knew that she would be doomed if she refused to see him.
Left with no choice, she could only do it.
Taking a deep breath, she opened the car door and got in.
