Before she could come up with an explanation, Bonnie laughed and said, "Are you the kind of person who loses all direction at night?"
"Well, yes." Emily increasingly believed that Bonnie was such an innocent and lovely girl. Bonnie was complacent about her judgment of Emily.
Suddenly, they saw the gleam of street lamps up ahead. Bonnie exclaimed, "Look! We have arrived in the downtown area."
"I saw it. By the way, my name is Emily. What's yours?" Emily introduced herself as she wanted them to get acquainted with each other.
"Bonnie Sun, but you can just call me Bonnie."
Bonnie licked her lips, clearly a little shy. The car stopped outside an old residential building. Bonnie got out of the car and waved goodbye to Emily. But Emily stopped her and said, "Wait, it's so dark in the building. Do you need me to accompany you in?"
"Thank you. But I'm okay on my own." Bonnie began walking into an alley. However, as she spoke, she accidentally stepped on a branch, and she cried out as she almost tumbled. By that time, Emily had already gotten out of the car. She smiled and said, "You're welcome. But let me walk inside with you."
"Thank you!"
Bonnie didn't refuse this time. She thought that the least she could do to thank Emily was to invite her into her rented room and offer her a glass of water. However, she couldn't unlock her door.
Bonnie tried several more times and checked her room number again and again. She was sure that this was her rented lodging, but her key wouldn't open the door.
"What's wrong?" Emily couldn't help asking when she saw Bonnie's odd expression.
"I can't open the door. But this is the room I am renting." Bonnie was on the verge on tears. All her belongings, including her books and personal effects, were locked in there.
"Shall we ask a locksmith to come help tomorrow?" Emily could not help offering a suggestion to her.
Bonnie nodded. The thought of Darren's gloomy eyes filled her with terror, though she had planned to call him. However, thinking that she might appear ungrateful to have secretly escaped from Darren's place tonight, she didn't dare call him now.
"Emily, can I stay at your place for one night?" Bonnie asked in a small voice.
She thought Emily seemed like a good person.
"Well, my home is a bit far from here to reach at this time of night, but my family bought me a new apartment
how I found out. As the owner of the house, I have many sources of information. In any case, I won't let you rent my house anymore. Get all your stuff out of here!"
the landlady insisted as she took out a key and unlocked the door.
"Hurry up! You had better clear out before 6 o'clock tonight, or I will call the police!" She merely glanced at Emily before turning around to leave.
Bonnie felt so aggrieved. She had just paid the month's rent, but the landlady had suddenly broken the contract, now leaving her destitute.
"Don't cry. Let's find a moving company, and you can move into my apartment. After all, there is a guest room next to my room." Bonnie looked up at Emily, her eyes shining with gratitude as she said, "Emily, you are so kind to me."
"It was fate that we met. But I'm curious about why you would shelter a man with a gunshot wound." Bonnie's eyes flashed uncertainly at Emily's question.
She kept silent, unsure of how to explain.
Emily smiled and said, "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to, but you should be careful. There have been a great many wanted criminals on the loose in the city recently."
"He was definitely not a wanted criminal." Bonnie almost stammered and blushed as she said, "A wanted criminal can't be so good-looking." But she bit her lips and mumbled the words out of the side of her mouth instead. This kind of reasoning was not really a convincing explanation at all.
"Okay, I won't pressure you about this anymore." Emily gently tugged Bonnie's ponytail and asked, "How much rent does the landlady owe you?"
