Cold and trashy personality
Jamie and Wendy exchange looks and immediately understands the other, they smiled sinisterly.
“Dad, mom, this is Jamie. Do you still remember her? We wore the same trousers.” Wendy pulls Jamie to the sofa next to her parents, a distance from Duke.
Who wore a pair of trousers with you? Jamie spits out a clot while smiling and politely greets, “Uncle and Auntie, how do you do. It has been a long time since we last met. Somehow you look even younger than before!”
Mr. and Madam Wales love to be praised for looking young, particularly Madam Wales.
“Of course I remember, this is Jamie, wow, how you’ve grown and your mouth has become sweeter.” Madam Wales replies with a smile while seeing Jamie nodding.
“How can we forget Wendy’s good friend? Jamie, treat this as your home and don’t stand on ceremony.” Mr. Wales says and gets the servant to serve them a glass of juice.
Duke casually looks at Jamie and Wendy, without any changes to his mood.
“Ms. Wales, Missus, how do you do.” Duke gently nods and politely greets Wendy and Jamie.
Jamie finds it amusing. She is younger than Duke and for him to address her as Missus, is rather interesting.
“Good day, Mr. Field.” Wendy simply replies Duke’s greeting. Now when she sees Duke, she doesn’t get excited but is calm as a pool of dead water.
“Wendy, Jamie and Duke were from the same high school, weren’t you? You knew each other well, don’t you?” Madam Wales says as she remembers, without any motives.
Jamie and Wendy are taken aback with surprise! Can it be that Madam Wales detects something?
“That was so long ago, mom, I’ve long forgotten about it.” Wendy sticks out her tongue at her mother, acting spoiled.
Madam Wales pushes her forehead with her finger, seemingly despising her for not behaving like a lady.
“Don’t forget, previously you took a stab for…”
“Mom, you are talking too much today.” Wendy worries that her mother will bring up the incident in which she took a stab for Duke and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. She quickly interrupts her mother.
Madam Wales looks at Wendy, “This child, how dare you interrupt your mother in front of so many people?”
The bantering between mother and daughter makes Jamie think of her mother. They used to do this too. But that can never happen again, she isn’t as fortunate as Wendy.
“This is not bad. If it goes on smoothly, in the coming year our profits will increase by approximately 30%.” Mr. Wales looks at the document brought by Duke and praises him.
“If there aren’t any problems, please sign on the document.” Duke smiles and takes a sip from the cup of tea.
Mr. Wales nods and practically agrees but he doesn’t have a pen with him, he looks around, “Where’s the pen?”
“I have one.” Duke places the cup down and reaches into his suit for a pen. The pen accidentally hooks onto a necklace and drags it out which drops on to the table.
Mr. Wales wipes his glasses, he picks up the necklace and inspects it in detail.
“It’s only a small thing.” Painful memories flash before Duke’s eyes but he pretends not to be affected.
