Teresa couldn’t take it anymore and called him. “He’s just Jennifer’s friend, not my boyfriend. We just had dinner, Jennifer is trying to play matchmake but I haven’t said yes. Why do you always jump to conclusions? Do you really think I’d just date anyone?
She heard a sharp intake of breath on the other end
Teresa’s heart tightened, “What’s wrong? Are you okay p>
“My stomach hurts. Maybe you just pissed me off too much,” Jonathan said.
“You probably drank too much,” Teresa said. “Do you have any medicine at your place! Or is there anyone there who can help you? ”
“I’m living alone at Strico Bay Heights. I’m just here for a few days on business. Who knew you’d make me this mad? Maybe I’ll just let the pain kill me said Jonathan
Teresa was left speechless.
It was one in the morning, and there were no lakis around. Even if she could get one, she wouldn’t feel safe. So Teresa walked about two miles. Then she found a shared bike and followed the GPS the rest of the way.
By the time she got to Jonathan’s place, it was already past two
She was carrying a bag of medicine she’d picked up at a convenience store. “Good thing it’s summer and not cold at night. If it were winter, I wouldn’t bother coming to save you. ”
“I just made myself some gruel, feeling a lot better now. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? How did you even get here?” Jonathan asked,
I walked part of the way and then took a shared bike. I didn’t feel safe taking a cab this late,” said Teresa.
Jonathan stared hard at Teresa for a few seconds, something flickering in his eyes.
Teresa sighed. “As long as you’re okay. I almost thought you were going to die here p>
y here just to curse me?” Jonathan shot back.
“you came all the way?
“I don’t have time to joke around with you. I’ve got an early business meeting tomorrow. Are you really alright now?” asked Teresa.
Just then, Jonathan’s stomach started acting up again. His gastroenteritis was flaring. Teresa grabbed his car keys and rushed him to the hospital
On the way, she still couldn’t figure out why he didn’t just hire a maid. Jonathan just said he didn’t like having strangers around.
She spent the whole night looking after him, eventually falling asleep with her head resting on the edge of his bed.
She was supposed to meet a client at nine, but when Teresa finally opened her eyes, it was already hall past nine.
She hurried to the meeting spot, but the client was already gone.
Teresa called the client. “Mr. Frazier, this is Teresa Johnston from Teresouth Group…
“Ms. Johnston, you don’t need to say anything. I don’t do business with people who stand me up. Let’s just end things here,” said the muit
The line went dead, leaving only the busy tone in her ear.
Teresa’s face turned pale. She had gone through so much trouble getting here, only to find it was all in vain. The flights and accommodation cost a
fortune p>
If she’d known, she would’ve just sent a subordinate. There was no need to come in person

Jonathan had been trying to reach her for a while. When Teresa got back to the hospital, be noticed how down she looked and asked, “What happened p>
“Nothing
Since you’re feeling better, FL head out,” Teresa replied.
“The deal didn’t go through, did it?” Jonathan said, just seeing Benny’s message
Benny had mentioned Teresa was also in Strica for work, so it had to be for business talks.
Teresa said, “I was an hour late for the meeting Loverslept. The client said I wasn’t reliable and canceled the deal, it’s my own fault, if it’s over, it’s over?
“You only overslept because you were taking care of me. Give me their number, I talk to them, Jethan said.
“No need,” Teresa said. “You saved me at the bar, and I took care of you all night. We’re eye. It’s not your fault. it’s mine p>
Her words had a double meaning. At least when it came to hiding the child, she admitted she felt guilty
Jonathan said, “Just hand me the phone. rltalk to them. Otherwise, you’ll just end up going back empty handed for nothing p>
