The door opened and Alex walked into the villa on his own.
Unexpectedly, the living room was completely empty. He felt the sudden urge to pee and rushed to his usual room. There was a bathroom attached.
He flung the bathroom door open and froze.
There was someone inside of the bathroom, Beatrice Assex, whom he had met at California State University just a while ago. More importantly, she was bent slightly forward, attaching her sanitary pad on her underwear.
Their eyes met.
Beatrice was surprised too.
After freezing in place for five seconds, she let out a high pitch scream. “Rockefeller, you jerk! I’ll kill you!”
Alex was smart, he knew he needed to run. “Hey, I didn‘t mean to! I didn’t see anything.”
Just as he tried to get out of the house, Alex noticed that Claire had come home.
Hearing Beatrice’s screams, she grabbed Alex, who was ready to make a run for it. She said angrily, “Hey Rockefeller, you ungrateful loser! Have you been bullying Beatrice again? Don’t you dare run, I need an explanation here.”
Beatrice came running, crying. “Mom, this bastard saw my private parts!”
“What did you say?” Claire lifted an arm to slap Alex, screaming. “You really are a bastard! Beatrice is your sister-in-law! How dare you molest her? I’ll beat you to death!”
As a man, he knew he was unable to reason with them in this situation.
So, he just let Claire’s slap happen. But when Claire wanted to slap him again, he dodged and said, “Mom, don’t be mad, this is all just a misunderstanding. I wanted to use the toilet, but Beatrice was in there. How could I know that she was in the restroom downstairs? She didn’t even lock the door!”
Beatrice was fuming. “This is my house, I can be wherever I want! And it’s my choice whether to lock the doors or not. You don’t even live here.”
She was still mad about what happened in school earlier. Now, she wanted to kill Alex if she could.
Alex replied, “Fine then, I’ll apologize, okay? I didn’t mean it, and I just saw a black bush, I didn’t see anything else!”
‘Black bush?’
Beatrice was going to explode from anger.
Alex knew that he would never be able to reason with them. He found a chance and ran out the door.
‘F*ck, what luckI have!’
‘These two will probably complain to Dorothy later!’
As expected, he received a call from Dorothy before he got back to Maple Villa.
Dorothy wasn’t a madwoman like Claire.
“Did you get into an argument with my sister again? This time’s worse, she said you molested her. What happened?”
Alex immediately explained everything to Dorothy. After listening to him, Dorothy was still slightly uncomfortable with what happened. However, Alex was not to blame for it, so she changed the topic. She talked about the selling rights of Thousand Leaves.
Alex said, “Don’t worry, I have the selling permit in hand. You don’t have to feel threatened by the old lady again.”
A day passed quickly.
The next morning, Joanne, Anderson and Emma arrived at the Assex Construction City South Subsidiary Company.
At that same moment, a client came by to get their purchases.
Anderson yelled. “Stop right there!”
