Chapter80
His flashback ended and he came back to see that she was still sniffling her tears in front of him for some reason, this woman crying in front of him really looked like that girl who had hurt herself and called him mean that day. He was really at a loss. What was he supposed to do now? Right now...she looked so much like.... Raymond shook his head. What was he thinking? Did he miss her so much that he was thinking that everyone that he met right now was her? He really did not know what to do with this woman in front of him. He turned to leave the house. He really did not have the strength to deal with this now.
Allen saw that he was going out. She was scared. What is he going to do? Won't he be coming back? What is going to happen to her now.? She went after him and held on to his sleeve. "Please listen to what I have to say. I...I really did not mean to decieve you. It's just that I did not have a choice. There was no way for me to save my grandmother. She is the only family that I have left. I really can't watch her die so I felt that I had to do something to save her life. That's why I agreed to do this. I was supposed to leave when Joanna showed up. I can still do that....I'll leave....can't you...can't you...just let this go?" Allen begged him
[2/22, 7:59 PM] Sonia: Allen saw that he was going out. She was scared. What is he going to do? Won't he be coming back? What is going to happen to her now.? She went after him and held on to his sleeve. "Please listen to what I have to say. I...I really did not mean to decieve you. It's just that I did not have a choice. There was no way for me to save my grandmother. She is the only family that I have left. I really can't watch her die so I felt that I had to do something to save her life. That's why I agreed to do this. I was supposed to leave when Joanna showed up. I can still do that....I'll leave....can't you...can't you...just let this go?" Allen begged him.
Raymond turned to look at the pleading woman. No matter how much he looked at her, she looked so much like the girl that he had met in that town. The girl that gave herself up for him. He knew that he had to get away from this woman. He had to get away from her as soon as possible or else he did not know what he was going to do. What did she say? When Joanna comes back? Definitely she did not run away. Who knows what happened to her? When will she be back? Does she even know what she has gotten into? "I'll think about it" Raymond said. It was an excuse. He needed to get away from her.

After Raymond left, Allen was left all alone in the house. She did not know what she was supposed to do from now on. She was already shaking in fear. He said that he was going to think about it. What would be the outcome of her thinking? Her biggest fear right now was her grandmother. She did not want anything to happen to her. She did not want her to be affected by the mess that she had caused. When her grandmother had asked her about what kind of work she was doing she had kicked up a fuss and told her not to worry because she did not want her to know. How will she react when she gets to know this news?
Allen did not know when she started to cry. She felt that she was so pitiful. She was caught in some big plot and she was only a chess piece. Compared to all of these people, she was nothing. And there was nothing that she could do to them. They could ruin her entire life and no one would even bother about her. Why did she have to be this pitiful? Why did she have to have such a pitiful luck? She still wanted her life to have some meaning. She did not want to be controlled so much by other people. But she also knew that right now, she did not have a choice. She had to patiently wait for whatever Raymond was going to decide on.
Because she was crying so much, Allen was already feeling weak. She did not know when she fell asleep on the couch.
*********
Raymond came back to the house when it was already very late. He had left because he did not know how exactly he was supposed to deal with the situation of Allen. And he did not also know where the hell Joanna Anderson was. When he was out, he had done some thinking and he had decided to believe Allen . She did not seem like she was lying to him. Also, immediately he left, he has asked his secretary to run some background check on a woman called Allen. He had gotten the information. She was just an ordinary girl working in a bar, and then about a month ago, she completely disappeared. It all made sense now. She had come to act as Joanna Anderson
When he entered the house, she was lying on the couch sleeping. They were tears marks on her face. Obviously, she had been crying. Raymond told himself that it had nothing to do with him. It isn't his business and he should not he concerned with her. But no matter how much he tried, he knew that he could not ignore the woman in front of him. He found himself walking over to her. He looked at her face. She isn't even the person that he is looking for but whenever he looked into her face, he could see himself going back in time, to when that girl was still following him around and annoying him very badly. Raymond shook his head and looked up. This isn't good. This isn't good at all. He did not bother to wake her up. He walked inside the house to his room.
