Chloe Sinclair was a little surprised. "You didn’t go home for the New Year?"
"Yeah, the Winter Games are about to start, so none of us went back this year."
Chloe understood.
Even if they did go back, they’d probably be too distracted to enjoy the holiday.
After they finished chatting, an awkward silence fell between them, neither knowing what to say next.
Shawn Styles, in particular, looked like he had more to say but couldn’t get the words out.
Chloe asked, "What’s wrong?"
Shawn Styles said, "Are you dating that Mr. Shaw?"
"Yes."
Chloe added, "I’ve also met his parents."
When Shawn Styles heard this, for some reason, he felt a faint sense of disappointment.
But he said, "Congratulations."
Chloe gave a polite nod and changed the subject. "Want to go for a run?"
Of course, Shawn Styles was there to run. But the ground was slippery, so for safety, they didn’t go very fast. In an hour, they only managed twenty laps around the area.
Shawn Styles was a key athlete for the Winter Games, so he hurried off to the training center after their morning run.
Chloe didn’t mind running alone. After a short rest, she went to a senior activity center in the apartment complex to do some pull-ups.
The senior center was bustling with old men and women practicing sword dancing and tai chi. A single glance revealed that Chloe was the only young person there.
Chloe’s presence drew the attention of many of the seniors.
But since they were all strangers, no one approached her.
However, what shocked them was when Chloe walked over to a pull-up bar that was nearly six feet high, leaped up effortlessly, grabbed it with both hands, and started doing pull-ups.
Even more surprising was her speed. After five minutes, she was drenched in sweat, but her pace hadn’t slowed in the slightest.
"Whose family is that young lady from? And her face is so pretty!"
