I glanced at him inexplicably, “What’s the matter?”
He was unhappy, “Does going out alone with me make you feel wronged? You’ve so quickly made a few calls and called all of your friends along.”
I ignored his child-like temper. I looked at how prosperous City A had become and sighed, “City A is developing rather quickly.”
My gaze fell on Twin Towers in the bustling area, and looked at Luis and said, “This office building is so tall!”
He knew that I was changing the subject, and said angrily, “The George Group’s office is no shorter than this, and this is not a company’s office building.”
I was a little curious, “You know about it?”
He gave an acknowledgment, and said lightly, “My mother and a technology boss bought this place, and she’s got a bond firm in it.”
When I thought of Luna, I admire this woman a bit. She was as rich as she was beautiful.
I recalled previously when I ate at L Community, she mentioned that she seemed to have a daughter, I couldn’t help but looked at Luis gossipy and asked, “Do you still have a sister?”
Luis didn’t seem to like being mentioned by others and said with a bit more gloom on his face, “That’s her daughter, it has nothing to do with me!”
Judging from his response, I knew I couldn’t ask too much. I saw that there was a puff shop in the basement of the Twin Towers, I suddenly wanted to eat it.
I looked at Luis and said, “You can go to the mall first to wait for Mario and Diana, and I’m going to buy some stuff.”
After speaking, I walked directly towards the puff shop. Both Diana and I liked to eat it. We were very similar to a certain extent.
After ordering a few puffs, I started to daydream of my memories of when I was a child which were long forgotten. I only remembered that I like to eat sweet snacks, that were cold.
“Boss, two puffs!” Suddenly a low voice sounded in my ears which was familiar yet unfamiliar as if it was a memory of a long time ago.
If it weren’t for the boss’s response, “Okay, please wait!”
I thought that I was still dreaming!
I always had some instinctive reaction under certain circumstances, such as the fear of Leo. I didn’t know when this started, but whenever I perceive his presence, even if it is thousands of miles away, that kind of physical primordial fear would be instilled in me.
The sun above my head was scorching and dazzling, yet my body began to feel like it had fallen into the ice cave. My breathing began to be difficult, and my hands began to tremble.
Behind me, the man’s voice was low, with an incomparable indifference, “Clara, it’s been long since I last saw you!”
My body stiffened and my breathing began to become abnormal. I saw the puff boss handing me the prepared puffs, but I didn’t have any strength at all.
The man behind me raised his hand to take it, and then naturally pulled me back and placed the puff in the palm of my hand. His voice was gentle yet cruel, “Clara, your reaction makes me, your brother, very dissatisfied.”
After some time, I managed to calm my breathing and adjusted my breaths. I abruptly took a few steps back, suppressing my body’s fear, and said in a trembling voice, “Sorry, you’ve got the wrong person!”
After speaking, I wasn’t able to see the person I haven’t met in five years. I could even describe myself as fleeing in fear.
Leo had ever said that he will not take the initiative to find me unless fate allows us to meet again. Once we meet, it would be the beginning of the next ploy.
I thought that the world was so big that as long as he left Newton Town, it would be impossible for us to see each other again.
