After Being Cheating

"Janet, did Daniel... do anything to you?" After his hard day finally ended, Brian lit a cigarette and smoked it in his car.

It took a long time for him to finally make up his mind whether he should call Janet or not.

She was shivering from the cold, outside Daniel's mansion. When she heard him, she sobbed at his concern, "No. Brian, are you still at work?"

"No, I've just finished. Janet, what happened to you?" he asked. When he heard her crying, Brian immediately put out his cigarette and got out of the car.

Janet looked around her. It was dark and late, "Can you pick me up?" she asked. "I can't go home."

She wasn't afraid of being lectured by her parents, but she just didn't want to worry them in any way. And also, if they ever saw her dressed like this, who knows what they might think happened to her?

"OK, where are you now? I'm already on the way." He looked at his watch, and it was almost 12 PM. He had to step on it.

"... I'm still at the No. 9 mansion... I'm at the door." She looked with morose eyes at the lights of the mansion's second floor. They were on. But the light that was once kindled in her heart, off.

"Wait for me, " Brian said. Brian then hung up the phone and rushed towards Daniel's No.9 villa.

Half an hour later, when Janet was almost numb by the cold, a military vehicle stopped in front of the gate.

"Janet!" It was Brian.

"Here!" Janet stood up from the marble staircase; she could barely feel her legs anymore.

Unable to move a single step forward, she almost fell on her knees.

When he saw her, Brian cut across the garden and ran to help her.

When he saw what Janet was wearing on her, Brian, who was always calm and collected, nearly staggered on his feet and fell in the garden.

When he finally came back to his sense, Brian took off his military coat and covered her with it.

He lifted her up on her feet and then strode towards his car.

Janet started to shiver the moment he gently put her on the back seat of his vehicle. She felt better when Brian turned on the car's heat.

And then they left the mansion's grounds.
