Eric stared back at her with an emotionless look on his face. “If you were a victim, or if it was truly an accident, Jackson will provide you with justification. But the truth is, you’re not. You’re not a child anymore. You know what it means for a girl to go to a man’s house at night alone to drink with him. And the man is your friend’s ex, an ex whom she’s still pining over. How innocent could your intentions possibly be in doing something as inappropriate as that? I’ve known Jackson for many years. Do you really think that I wouldn’t understand him? He’d never mistake a face, even when he’s dead drunk. He would never force himself on you. He would never have that notion at all!”
Tanya turned around and smiled at him. “Heh… You’re right. You’re absolutely right. I did it on purpose. Thank you for once taking care of me. Goodbye.”
Eric pursed his lips and did not say anything more. He felt a weight on his heart as he watched her leave. Was this the very same pure-hearted girl who was like a blank piece of paper, who had called him “Ricky” all day long? Life was like a large vat of colors. Someone was bound to forget their roots and turn into something completely unrecognizable.
More than a month after that scandal, everything was deathly still. No one mentioned the affair between Jackson and Tanya again. Tiffany and Tanya left Eric’s company respectively. Tiffany remained brooding at home. Many companies had sent her offers, but she put them all aside and did not accept them immediately. Of course, Alejandro naturally extended an olive branch too. His company’s industry was not in line with her career, so she dodged the subject. Most important of all, she hadn’t considered her next move just yet.
Alejandro had grown even more affectionate after Tiffany and Jackson’s relationship entered complete destruction. It was as if he knew exactly what had happened. Tiffany had a small inkling of this, but she did not expose him for it. She had always felt as if Alejandro had been watching her closely. He would have found out about it if he wanted to.
