Jane Sampson’s hands were shaking as she held her mobile phone. The kind of sorrow she felt was indescribable.
She had lost it. Whether it was stolen or whatever, it was ultimately her fault for not taking care of the stuff Jas Black had given her.
Just as Jane tapped the mobile phone screen, a phone call ca through.
Coincidentally, the very touch from Jane had answered the call.
Seeing it was Jas Black’s call, Jane almost wanted to hang up.
Just thinking about how she had lost the gift he gave her made Jane feel so upset that she didn’t know how to face Jas Black.
"Hello."
Although Jane had answered the call instantly, the delay in her response made Jas Black think his mobile phone was broken.
"Can you hear ?" Jas Black asked.
Jane then took a deep breath and responded, "I can hear you."
"Did you purposely pick up and keep quiet?" Jas Black’s voice was low, "Are you in trouble again?"
Jane pressed her lips together and did not speak.
The excessive silence on the other end made Jas Black slightly frown. It wasn’t like Jane to not talk back at such tis.
"Jane Sampson."
After a mont, Jas Black called her na softly, "What’s wrong? Who upset you?"
Jane had been holding back, but hearing Jas Black’s words, the sense of grievance and discomfort in her heart overwheld her.
As she began to speak, tears started rolling down her cheeks.
"I lost the lipstick you gave ," Jane said, her voice laced with tears. "It wasn’t intentional. I thought no one would take a used lipstick. Every ti I used it, I put it back in the lipstick box."
Jane felt incredibly wronged.
Her entire collection of lipsticks was just sitting there, so why did soone have to steal the one that ant the most to her?
If Jas Black hadn’t called her just in ti, if he hadn’t imdiately sensed her mood, Jane thought she might not have cried or felt so wronged.
"Which one?" Jas Black stood up from the sofa the mont he heard Jane sob, tension gripping him.
Though he often teased Jane for being touchy, she wasn’t usually one to cry.
"It was the very first lipstick you gave ," Jane responded pitifully. "The one that was specially customized."
Jas Black understood. He knew that Jane always carried that lipstick with her.
Hearing her cry so pitifully, Jas Black realized she must indeed feel very guilty.
"Jas Black, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry..." Jane repeated her apologies, then tentatively asked, "Can you please not be mad at ? I didn’t an to do it."
"Don’t cry." Jas Black went out to the balcony to catch so cold air to calm down, and then his voice softened significantly, "Are you worried about being mad at you?"
Jas Black sighed gently, "Silly, why would I be mad over a lipstick? You already said it wasn’t intentional. It was stolen, so I don’t bla you."
"You yourself said just the other day that I wouldn’t want to scold or hit you, so how could I bear to be mad at you? Huh?" Jas Black thought probably all his good patience in this life was spent on this girl nad Jane Sampson.
