Jane's Revenge

First Impression

Goddess Fortuna is siding with Jane. As soon as he entered the Bar, Edric Harisson had sat alone on the very end bench enjoying his drink. The luck that won't come a second time.

Either Edric was sad because of Vivian's death and tried to calm himself with booze. Or he was celebrating his freedom.

Hold Jane Ainsley! Hold yourself! Breathe in, let out!

Do not let him jump towards Edric and then immediately strangle him to death. Even if it was his biggest wish.

Put on a smile like when meeting an important client.

"You look like you just lost someone.."

Edric immediately turned to the source of the voice. He raised his eyebrows. A beautiful woman he did not recognize was throwing a smile at Edric.

Jane put herself next to Edric without permission.

"I don't want to be accompanied by anyone." Edric replied coldly.

You think I'm doing this because I'm interested in you?! Just be right! I have to throw away my pride at this moment!

Even Edric didn't really recognize Jane. Friend of his own wife. That was a big question in Jane's head. Between Vivian who never told Edric herself? Or was it Edric who was being indifferent to Vivian?

"I won't be here long. Just want to recommend a drink that suits you. I ordered it, it'll be here soon.."

Sure enough without waiting for a long wait a waiter came with a glass of drink.

"One glass of Negroni, please.."

Jane thrust the drink towards Edric.

"Well! Try that! This Italian drink is very famous for its good taste. I'm sure you'll like it.."

"Why are you acting all you want? We don't even know each other."

"I told you right from the start, 'cause you look so pathetic since coming here like you lost someone. I want to cheer you up a little.."

How brave this woman is! Maybe he already knew who Edric was and saw the news on social media about his wife's death so he could talk like that.

Does Edric look so pathetic? Though he came here to relieve fatigue from the pursuit of journalists who are still trying to dig information from him.

"Now I'm going. I paid for the drink. Let's just say I treat you. Enjoy.."

Jane left Edric without looking back. The first rule is not to flirt too much. Just leave a deep and mysterious impression. People will be curious.

And Edric Harrison was curious. He glanced at the glass that the woman had given him.

"Who is he?"

Edric grabbed a drink called Negroni and began to taste it. The sensation of bitter and sweet taste mixed into one and left the fresh aroma of orange.

Well, Edric admits this drink is pretty good. Unknowingly, he had already spent it.

"Not bad either.."

Bizarrely. For the first time Edric was interested in a woman. He asked a waiter to find out.

"You're here!"

"Can I help you, sir?"

"Do you know the woman who just ordered this Negroni drink?"

"Sorry Mister. He was just a regular visitor like the others. I don't recognize him at all.."

"alright. Thanks."

"Together Mr."

Edric tapped his long fingers on the table. Hmm, can they meet again later?

***

Since there was no approach at all from Edric, Jane thought he had failed in yesterday's plan. Is the man trying to find her? Maybe Edric thought Jane was a freak.

The next weekend Jane came back to the bar. He will make a second plan.

Edric Harisson was waiting for him. As Jane was about to order a drink for herself, Edric approached her.

Jane looked at me with a confused look.

This second rule is time to play pull. Usually men have a high ego, especially Edric Harisson who is famous for his perfectionist attitude.

Jane will pretend not to recognize Edric as if she forgot about their meeting last week.

"You don't remember me?"

Edric was completely troubled by Jane's attitude. This woman who approached him first then she was also the one who quickly forgot about him.

Edric had negative thoughts about Jane. Equalizing with other women who try to seduce him in such a way as to be willing to throw away his own pride just to be able to stand beside him.

But in fact Jane only considers Edric a wind then. It makes Edric more and more want to conquer Jane.

"sorry. There are a lot of people I've met lately.."

Jane smiled.

You've been in my trap!

"I'm the guy you thought was pathetic last time until you bought me that glass of Negroni.."

"Oh! Yeah I just remembered.. Now you look much better.."

"Bless you."

"really? You like this drink? I told you it tastes so good you'd like it.."

"Now it's my turn to pay for your drink so I don't have a debt of gratitude anymore.."

"Thank you.."

"What's your name?"

"Jane Ainsley."

They began to meet and talk lightly. For some reason, Edric felt a match for Jane. It can be seen from the way she speaks, Jane's a smart woman. Edric likes that. Not in vain this week Edric often visited the Bar just to meet him again.

I don't feel like time is going on. Jane glanced at her watch.

"I have to go. There's a place I'm going to.."

"Want you to take me?"

"no need. I brought my own car.."

"I'd like to take you out for another drink next time."

Jane looked weighed. Edric doesn't like rejection.

"All right.."

Then they exchanged phone numbers.

"See you. It's good to meet you.."

As soon as Jane was out of Edric's reach, the smile on her face instantly disappeared.

Jane doesn't know if she should be happy or sad. His plan had worked but in the depths of his heart he felt guilty towards Vivian.

I'm sorry Vivian. My way is wrong. But Edric Harisson must get the punishment he deserves for what he did to you. I hope you understand.

***

Ahkir-ahkir this Samantha felt there was something different from Edric. Her secret lover was becoming colder than usual. Even when Samantha tried to tease him, Edric immediately brushed off her hand.

"I'm tired. You just go home.."

Is Edric tired of Samantha?

Or does he have another lover?

That can't happen. Edric was just his. Any woman who becomes a bully of his relationship with Edric should be immediately removed like his wife.

Which is the problem, who doesn't know who that woman is? Samantha bit her well-kept finger cookies. He has to find out.
