He was trying to analyze the situation for her.
Ashlyn’s hands froze for a brief second before she returned to her furious typing.
She breathed out, but before she could say anything, Jared continued, “The more you think about it, the more you’ll panic. Boss, you’ve got to calm down.”
“He won’t be out of contact with me.” Ashlyn downed the milk. “I’m tired.”
Jared nodded before he took the cup away. “Rest early.”
He closed the door behind him.
Silence settled in the room.
Ashlyn found herself panicking.
It had a grip on her.
She took out her phone to send a message to Lucas again. As she expected, there was no response from him.
She silently locked her phone and placed it on the bedside table.
Her thoughts and emotions were jumbled in her mind.
When Lucas woke up again, he found himself in a private jet.
This looks unfamiliar. Where am I heading to?
He slowly moved upward, about to sit up.
Abruptly, a sweet voice sounded beside him. “Lucas, you’re awake?”
Lucas’ heart skipped a beat before he turned in the voice’s direction. “Claire?”
Claire put down the fashion magazine she was reading and smiled gently at him. “Mom and Dad have allowed me to stay with you for a while. I hope you won’t find me annoying.”
“Of course not.” Lucas shook his head. My head’s killing me. He rubbed his temples, hoping to ease the pain before he sat up.
Claire poured a glass of water for him. “Dad and Mom said that you’ve been in poor health since you arrive in France. They told me to take care of you during the flight.”
“Claire...” When Lucas looked at her face that was identical to Grace’s, for a moment, he fell into a trance.
Grace and Claire were identical twins, but their personalities were worlds apart. One was calm and collected, while the other was cheerful and naive.
Claire was the latter.
She was the eldest child of the Nolan family, but she viewed the world in rose-colored glasses as if troubles would never plague her. She was patient and gentle with everyone she met.
Even though Lucas was apathetic to many people and things, he could not be so when it was Claire.
“Claire, did you see my phone?” Lucas hesitated before asking her.
