Clearly, Jerome didn't believe what Summer said, "Why?"
The current Jerome was much shrewder than he was and was not at all easy to deceive.
"I don't know. Maybe I'm unaccustomed to the food here." Summer looked up at Jerome, pretending to be "weak".
Too many things happened this morning. Summer ran away from Leonardo and was still frightened and pale. So, Summer did not look good.
Jerome glanced at the gate and said, "I'll go with you."
"Thank you." Summer stood up and allowed Jerome to support her walking towards the bathroom.
After all, she was "weak". And she couldn't refuse Jerome's help.
When they arrived at the bathroom, Jerome stayed at the door, waiting for her.
Summer became nervous when she entered the bathroom. She leaned against the door and waited quietly for time to pass.
She had to wait until the last moment of boarding before leaving.
Summer had to prevent Jerome from boarding.
She had a premonition that the current Jerome would not be much kinder than Leonardo.
It wasn't until Summer heard the broadcast of taking off that she tidied herself up and left the bathroom.
Jerome was very impatient then.
However, when he saw Summer, Jerome asked with concern, "Why did you get out so later? Are you OK?"
"I'm fine." Summer nodded but walked very slowly.
The radio was reminding that passengers of Summer's flight were about to be prohibited from boarding.
Jerome was very anxious and quickened his steps.
Then a middle-aged woman walked past Summer.
Summer was struck by a sudden thought.
She glanced at Jerome and suddenly reached out to grab the boarding pass from his hand. Meanwhile, Summer touched that woman's butt.
The middle-aged woman turned her head when she felt that touch.
Quickly, Summer slapped Jerome on the face, "You're so dirty! How can you do that?" Jerome was confused and did not react at all,
"What?"
Summer turned around to look at that woman with hesitation, "I saw it. You just touched her..."
The middle-aged woman was a dangerous person.
Hearing Summer's words, she believed that Jerome had just touched her butt.
Though Jerome was a gentleman from a wealthy family and was much more handsome than others, he was a man. Naturally, that woman trusted Summer instead of Jerome.
Therefore, she reached out and pushed Jerome, "Though you look gentle, why are you so shameless?"
Jerome turned cold, "I didn't."
Then he understood Summer's purpose. Summer didn't want him to get on the plane.
Jerome sneered and was about to speak when he saw a few tall men walking toward him.
One of the tallest men asked Jerome in a dialect, "Are you taking advantage of our Madam?"
Summer was stunned. Was the middle-aged woman the wife of a certain "Boss"?
If Jerome had no bodyguards with him, he would definitely lose the fight.
But Summer couldn't care about him.
Jerome would at most be beaten up.
Therefore, Summer silently said "I'm sorry" to Jerome and left when he was surrounded by the bodyguards.
