Jack’s determination and fearlessness caused Katherine to be flustered. This gave her the feeling that her punch had landed in emptiness and was totally ineffective.
All the murmurs and gossips were cast upon her and camera flashes started to engulf her. Jack was long gone by the time she came to her senses.
When the main doors of the sales office of Dragon Garden opened, the home buyers poured into the sales office and the scene became a sea of activities.
She was the only one that remained standing dazed like an insignificant clown.
…
Jack took a taxi, left Dragon Garden, and headed towards Genting restaurant. The table manners of the Parry family disgusted him. Katherine’s emergence today caused him to be exasperated. He stopped loving Katherine when she took the remaining money he needed to save his mother.
If it wasn’t for the timely arrival of Mr. Ward, his mother would have died long ago. This resulted in him not having the slightest attachment for Katherine and the Parry Family! The only thing he could do was to forget about the last three years. It was impossible to expect him to maintain any form of ties with Katherine and the Parry family! He wiped his face and suppressed his depression.
Jack looked outside the window and cracked his fingers and realized why some people liked to smoke a cigarette in such a situation.
In his trance, Amber’s image suddenly emerged in his mind. He smiled gently and perhaps this was his last chance at love in this life. At least when he was going through hardships and feeling tired, she would encourage him to rest. She was unlike Katherine who made him slog and work tirelessly with unending demands.
“I’m sure that she doesn’t like the smell of cigarette smoke.” Jack shook his head and looked to the front.
He arrived at Genting Restaurant.
Situated at the top of the highest building in the city, it was as if Genting Restaurant was perched on top of a mountain overlooking all of mankind. The high prices made it inaccessible to most consumers. The price of over a hundred thousand yuan was reasonable to be able to dine among the clouds. At least that was how Jack felt about it.
When he took the lift and arrived at the top level where Genting Restaurant was, he was greeted by melodious piano music. The luxurious and elegant decoration could not be faulted. The large panel windows all around enabled a commanding view of the surrounding sky. The clouds were drifting by outside the window.
Jack was led by the waiter towards a window seat where Amber was already waiting for him.
But Amber was restless and filled with worry.
“Amber, what are you worried about?” Jack smiled.
Amber was startled and raised her head and looked happily at Jack, “Oh thank heavens, you’re finally here. I was really worried that she’ll do something to you.”
Jack smiled gently, “We no longer have anything to do with each other. How can she do anything to me?"
"I was afraid that she would cause a scene and affect your company’s reputation.” Amber expressed her worries.
Jack signaled to the waiter to bring the menu over for Amber to order the dishes.
At the same time, he smiled at her, “Relax, I’ve settled it. But I can’t help it if she wanted to make a fool of herself.”
