Deirdre told the electronics store’s owner the phone number, and he quickly sent it. "Okay, I’m done!"
“Thank you.”
Deirdre gave the money she received from Kyran to the electronics store’s owner. Following that, she stood at the door and called Tobey.
The other end quickly answered. Deirdre took a deep breath and said, "Tobey, did you receive the photo I sent you?"
Tobey was silent for a moment and smiled wryly. "It turns out that you were the one who sent me this photo. Deirdre, do you think that I’m emotionless? You rejected me, and after you got together with Kyran, you actually sent me a photo with your loved one. Did you send it so that I can enjoy it as well?"
Deirdre was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, "No! That's not what I meant..."
Tobey smiled. "Don't be nervous. I was just joking with you. Although I am indeed quite sad, I am relieved seeing that you look happy in the photo."
Deirdre’s eyes were downcast and misty. When she found her voice only after a while, she explained, "Tobey, I sent you this photo for another reason. May I know if you know Brendan Brighthall?"
"Brendan Brighthall?" Tobey was surprised to hear the name. He thought for a while and said, "Do you mean the only son of the Brighthall family in Neve? I heard a little about him when I was working. He is a successful businessman."
Deirdre couldn't help being nervous. "Then you… Have you seen him?"
Tobey replied, "No, I haven’t. Deirdre, you’ve thought too highly of me. People like them have their own circle. I'm just a mere staff member. How could I have met them?"
The answer was not surprising to Deirdre. Brendan had always been mysterious and seldom appeared at commercial receptions. Only a handful of his photos were posted on the Internet, and it might even be possible that Brendan edited them before posting.
