In the middle of cleaning the table, Rosie said, "He doesn't only come here to have meals, but he would also get one to go every time. No jalapenos on the one to go. He says that you can't take spices because your stomach doesn't handle it well."
Sierra did have a stomach problem but it wasn't till the point that she couldn't take spicy food at all. Moreover, Johan had never brought any tacos back for her.
Sierra figured that he was probably getting it for someone else so she asked, "What did he say to you when he asked you to pack it?"
Rosie smiled and said, "He said that he was going to bring it for his girlfriend. He's obviously talking about you, isn't he?"
"Oh, his girlfriend." Smiling, Sierra did not put forth any more questions as she knew that Johan had never regarded her as his girlfriend.
For him, she was nothing more like a leech that he couldn't shake off.
Rosie looked at Sierra and said earnestly, "I know you two fought today but it's fine. Go back and talk things out with him, and everything will be okay. But you have to listen to my advice. Don't say any more hurtful things to him. The more a man loves you, the more hurtful it will be."
Sierra didn't understand why Rosie insisted that Johan loved her. Did she know Johan's feelings for her better than she did?
"Go after him quickly, don't let him wait too long." When Rosie saw Sierra keeping quiet, she didn't say anything more.
However, as she was collecting the dirty dishes, she recalled that Johan's words were slightly different the previous time he was there.
Johan, who was usually quiet, actually chatted with her that time. It was indeed a rare moment. Rosie thought.
He told her that he was not packing food for his girlfriend but for his wife.
At that time, Johan's expression was the same as usual, but she could still make out a different light in Johan's eyes.
With her experience at this age, she could be sure that it was an expression of joy of a man marrying the woman he loved.
Rosie thought that she had to relay this to Sierra so that she wouldn't get mad at Johan so easily all the time and jeopardize their harmony as a wedded couple.
Rosie scurried out, but Sierra was already long gone.
She looked out and saw that Sierra was about to walk out of the alley. She called out but Sierra did not respond so she thought that she would tell her the next time.
What's more, she believed that since Johan loved her so much, he wouldn't let her go that easily, and that they would definitely stick it till the end.
Sierra walked out of the alley and glanced around but she didn't see Johan or his car.
It seemed that Johan had already left without her, so she had no choice but to take a cab.
After getting into the car, Sierra could not help but sneer as she thought of what Rosie had told her.
If a man really loved a woman, he would never leave a woman outside alone in the middle of the night no matter how angry he was.
However, what Sierra didn't know was that another car was following closely behind and that car had never left until she had gotten home safely.
Sierra hadn't slept much in the past few days but sleepiness didn't kick in at all now that she was in bed.
She didn't want to recall those unpleasant memories, but her mind was full of Johan and Miranda.
Miranda!
Miranda!
It was Miranda yet again!
