Chapter 2

I picked out the better ones, but I was satisfied with only two or three pounds.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal. But I didn’t expect Aria to ask me for money!

After all, the Chilean cherries were only 20 dollars a pound...

I found Aria replied, [Yes, that’s right!]

Well, that was what she meant.

I was speechless for a moment and decided to let James solve the problem.

James and I were in different departments of the same company.

I was in administration, and he was in the business department. So he often went on a business trip.

We didn’t have much time to be together, so we rarely talked about our families when we had time.

So far, all I knew was that he was from Orlando, his parents were alive, and he had a younger sister.

When I called James, he was boarding.

"Your sister just added me on WhatsApp."

"Yeah, I know. She asked me for your number."

"Do you know why she contacted me?"

"Hey, Ella, the plane is about to take off. Let's talk when I get back tonight. Bye!" After being urged by colleagues and flight attendants, James quickly hung up the phone.

I looked at WhatsApp and decided to ask James before replying to her.

I was so busy at work that I forgot about it after the call.

James came back in the evening. We didn’t see each other for a few days, so we passionately kissed behind the door.

He suddenly received a call, and he casually put it on the shoe rack on speakerphone and continued kissing me.

"James, let me tell you. You have to break up with your girlfriend..."

James was shocked, wanting to reach for his phone, but I quickly held him down and covered his mouth.

I wanted to know why she said that!

"In the afternoon, I asked her for the cherry money. I told her the price and my card number. Guess what? She pretended not to see it and hasn't replied to me till now!"

"I've never seen such a shameless person! She eats overlord meals."

"James? James, why don’t you answer me?"

I was so angry at her words. James mouthed to me, "Let me deal with it."

I angrily stepped on his foot and he let out a cry.

"James, what's wrong?" Aria asked with concern.

What's wrong? I was so angry with you!

I went straight to the refrigerator to take out the remaining cherries and threw them on the dining table.

I heard James coaxed her, "It's okay. I know what to do."

He turned off the speakerphone, so I didn't hear what Aria said back.
