Chloe Reed shot to her feet, pointing at the man outside the window. "Gra—!"
"What’s wrong? What’s going on?!" Fiona Linton was startled by her reaction and quickly got up to look.
By the time Chloe Reed rushed outside and looked up again, the figure she’d seen was nowhere in sight.
She looked all around. The streets were bustling with traffic and crowds, but she couldn’t find a trace of that figure.
’What was going on?’
’Was I hallucinating in broad daylight?’
"Chloe, why did you suddenly run out like that?" Fiona Linton followed her out, looking completely baffled.
Chloe Reed’s lips pressed into a thin line. She checked the spot where she had seen the man one more time, then took Fiona Linton’s hand and walked back inside.
After sitting down, she took out her phone and began to type. A cold, electronic female voice sounded out, "I just saw someone who looked a lot like Julian Grant."
Fiona Linton blinked in confusion. "Isn’t Julian Grant Walker Grant’s older brother who passed away?"
During her time living at Jardinelle, she had already figured out the relationships in the Grant family.
Chloe Reed nodded, letting out a soft sigh before she continued to type, "Yeah, he passed away. I must have been seeing things."
Just then, Annie York came over with two milk teas, placed them on their table, and sat down. "Why did you suddenly rush out just now? Did something happen?"
Chloe Reed shook her head and typed, "No, I just thought I saw someone I knew, but my eyes were playing tricks on me. I was mistaken."
Annie York nodded and smiled shyly, her eyes shining as she looked at her. "Chloe, it’s my birthday the day after tomorrow. I’m planning on cooking a simple meal at home. Would you be able to come?"
The hope in her eyes was unmistakable.
Chloe Reed was a little surprised, then nodded as her fingers flew across the keyboard. "I’ll definitely be there. Send me your address."
Annie York was delighted. "Okay, I’ll send it to you right now. Chloe, I’m so happy you can come."
Chloe Reed’s lips curved into a gentle smile.
