After a short silence, Chris Lockwood spoke. “If something worries you, don’t hold it in your heart.”
Reaching out, he rubs Jamie's hair as his eyes dote on her.
“Older brother, I’m okay. It was only the bungee jumping that made me a bit unwell. Jamie Moore lets out a smile, but it wasn’t pretty. Her face was so pale, people would think she was heartbroken and in pain. Chris Lockwood sighs softly as he caresses her hair more gently for fear that he would tear it off.
If he had to guess, this was all related to the person she likes the most; the man named Dan William. When he found her a few years ago, she looked exactly like she does now. It seemed as if his sister was doomed to forever be a part of that man’s life. Chris Lockwood narrowed his eyes, his thoughts becoming complicated. The sudden ring of a phone distracts Jamie Moore, drawing her back into reality, “Hello?”
“Madam, I have received news from President William. Tonight, on the ninth floor of the Star theatre, President William will be hosting a party for his friends and acquaintances. I am to enquire if Madam would like to attend the party”. Secretary Sam says over the phone. His words momentarily brought back the illness she had just been feeling. Her eyes shone brightly, and she quickly replied.
"Tell me the time, and I will be there tonight". After hanging up the phone, Jamie is full of fighting spirit. Although still pale, her drive was returning to her eyes. As long as she knew where Dan William was, she had a way of explaining everything clearly. "Isn't there someplace to be? Let's go. I'll escort you".
Chris Lockwood must have heard some of what was said on the phone. He gently smiled, giving her encouragement. “Brother, you’re the best”. Jamie Moore happily threw herself into his arms and hugged him. It was nice to have a brother.
“Silly girl”. Chris Lockwood let out a helpless smile. “You are like my sister. If I’m not good to you, who will be?”
On the other side, Derek William was watching the two as they hugged in the restaurant, wondering if he should tell the young master about what he was seeing. But at the thought of Dan William’s cold command that time, he decided to report anyways. The night scene is like ink. At about seven o’clock, Jamie Moore arrives at Star Theatre. With a VIP card, she smoothly enters the ninth floor. The party should already be in full swing.
Standing in front of the door, she hesitates. Should she go in or not? What should she say if she went in? At that time, a waiter passes by her, carrying a vase with flowers. Her eyes flash, and she reaches out and pulls a flower from the vase. “Excuse me, I apologize, I would like to borrow this flower”. She says to the waiter with a smile. The waiter frowns and is just about to say something when he notices that even though Jamie’s clothing was simple, it was the year’s famous winter brand and that on her wrist she was wearing a limited edition Chanel bracelet.
