Chapter 601 Leave
It still rained heavily outside.
The second Laney stepped out of the club, the cool breeze chilled her to the bone. She rubbed her
arms and ran to the nearest convenience store to buy an umbre.
As she was about to pay, she saw a mother with her child nearby. The child seemed to want to buy
the candy bar on the shelf, so he reached out to take it. However, the mother immediately patted his
hand and shook her head. "You already have a cavity, little one. You can''t have sweets until the
dentist fills it."
Having been stopped, the child immediately burst into tears. The mother shot Laney an apologetic
smile and pulled the little tyke out of the store.
The cashier smiled helplessly. "Kids, am I right?" Laney smiled back subconsciously, but then the
smile froze on her face.
It suddenly dawned on her thatst night, Garrett didn''t wear a condom.
After paying for the umbre, she headed to the pharmacy to buy emergency contraception.
They had sex less than a day ago; she couldn''t take the risk.
As soon as she got home, she quickly took the pills and then sat there, not knowing what to do next.
If she stayed in Barnes, she''d inevitably run into
Garrett.
After thinking for a while, Laney soon came to the conclusion that she had to leave. Last night had
made it clear that she couldn''t control herself around Garrett. It was best if she removed herself
from the situation literally.
And the best way to put some distance between them was for her to go far away. Anyway, she knew
she''d have a job anywhere given her prestige as a bodyguard.
Thinking of this, Laney felt a bit better.
That very night, she packed up all her things.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
When she went to Ethan to tender her resignation, thetter didn''t have any reason to object. Ethan
simply asked, "Are you sure that this is what you want? Your sry here is way above average."
Laney nodded firmly. "And I appreciated that, sir. But it''s not that I''m dissatisfied with the pay. I''m
just not used to life here in Barnes and I want to try going abroad. Plus, I have too many enemies
here. I live in constant worry of being ambushed."
Well, at least what she said was half true.
Seeing that Laney had made up her mind, Ethan didn''t force her to stay and simply signed her
resignation papers.
Before leaving the city, Laney went to J to say goodbye.
When J saw Laney at her door, she was pleasantly surprised. She smiled and teased, "What
brings you here?"
She stepped aside, letting Laney into the house.
Fidgeting with her hair, Laney looked a little uneasy and embarrassed. "Actually, I came here to say
goodbye. I''m leaving the country tonight." "What?" J gasped in shock. "You never told me that
you were leaving. Is it because of Garrett?" Laney nodded. After she told J about what had
happened between her and Garrett, she didn''t know what else to say.
"You guys moved way too fast... But I''ll support you no matter what choice you make. Take care,
okay? I''ll visit you when I have the time, or perhaps you cane back to see me." J sighed
heavily, clearly reluctant to part with her friend.
Laney stayed with J until it was time to go to the airport. J drove her there herself.
The atmosphere was depressing. Neither one of them knew what to say.
It wasn''t until Laney was about to depart that the two looked at each other with silly smiles, their
eyes filled with tears.
Holding the flight ticket tightly in her hand, Laney suddenly threw her arms around J tightly. "I''m
lucky to have you as a friend. But I never thought we''d be separated so soon."
Patting her on the back, J smiled through the tears. "We''ll meet again."
Just then, the airport announced that Laney''s flight was about to depart. Wiping her eyes, Laney
took onest look at the cityscape in the distance and then turned around to walk towards the
boarding gate.
