Gigi nodded firmly and dropped to her knees with a thud.
Surprised by her sudden move, Damian asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm begging you to please help Aunt Beah. She's in critical condition..."
Damian helped her up, sat her on the nearby couch, and gave her a tissue. "Don't cry. Take yourtime and tell me everything."
Wiping her tears, Gigi began, "We agreed to keep it a secret from Pea and came back home to hidesafely. But Aunt Beah's really sick. We're running out of money for her treatment. I had to take thisjob to make enough money."
Listening, Damian felt guilty for his impulsive behavior earlier. "I apologize for kissing you like that."
Gigi blushed at the memory. "It's okay. I mean, it happened so fast. I didn't even have time to react...I mean, I don't mind. It's fine." She was inexperienced with relationships and caught off guard.
Seeing how hard she worked for Pearl's mother, Damian was moved and patted her head. "Don'tworry. Tell me where she is, and I'll cover her expenses. I'll also find a great doctor for her. But, youshouldn't work here anymore."
Gigi's eyes lit up. "Really? But Aunt Beah will scold me when she finds out."
Damian felt a wave of warmth for her bravery. "She'd be more upset knowing you work here for hersake, and she'll refuse treatment even more."
Gigi, anxious, nearly dropped her drink. "Can you please keep this between us? Promise you won'ttell Aunt Beah."
"If you accept my help, it's a deal."
Gigi gritted her teeth and said, "Deal."
Damian smiled, then noticed her exposed skinny legs. He removed his suit jacket and draped itover her legs. "Make sure you stay warm."
Gigi was touched by the gesture, leaving her speechless and holding onto the jacket tightly.
"Would you like a ride back?" Damian offered.
Gigi almost nodded but declined, shaking her head. She was worried it might be inappropriate.
"Then be careful on your way. I've had a few drinks so it's better if I don't drive." Damian's friendlydemeanor vanished as he stood up, turning back into the stranger Gigi first met.
Watching him go, Gigi felt a mix of emotions. The intimate moments they shared were like a dream,yet real. Memories from her youth resurfaced, as if a dormant part of her woke up, leaving herstartled and a bit scared.
Shaking off these thoughts, Gigi quickly cleared her mind. "What am I thinking?"novelbin
She quickly got up, clutching the jacket, and hurriedly left.
