However, Marilyn pulled him back to the harsh reality, making him realize just how inferior and insignificant he was in front of the flawless Angeline.
"Let's go." He took Marilyn’s hand and left quickly.
After Jay left, Josephine walked out of the dark. Her sympathetic gaze followed Jay as she smacked her lips and sighed. "How did a proud man like him end up with a low and vulgar woman like that?"
Angeline's eyes were misted with tears. "That’s his fate after all."
Josephine took the supreme membership card from the shopkeeper and admonished her, "Do you know who she is?"
The shopkeeper looked dumbfounded. "Grand Asia’s president."
The shopkeeper glanced timidly at Angeline, then apologized to her in a hurry. "I'm sorry, I’m really sorry. I..."
Josephine turned her gaze to Jay, then asked again, "Do you know who that is?"
The shopkeeper looked stupefied.
Josephine answered, "The former president of Grand Asia."
The shopkeeper was so astounded that her jaw dropped. Could there be such a coincidence? She actually met two Grand Asia presidents in one day?
"Do you know what to do now when you meet them again next time?"
“Yes, yes, yes."
Josephine admonished the shopkeeper with only three sentences. Even so, her admonishment had sent the shopkeeper breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Let's go, Josephine."
Angeline’s thoughts had flown away the moment Jay left.
Josephine took Angeline's hand and whispered to her, "You want to chase after him, don’t you?"
What Angeline had was intermittent vision loss. Every time she lost her sight, her elder brother Zayne would carry her on his back. She rarely ever lived like an actual blind person, let alone walking in a strange and unfamiliar place.
She was not exactly familiar with the usage of white cane either.
When Angeline appeared, the murmurs and whispers in the lounge area stopped completely.
Everyone's attention was captured by this ethereal beauty.
Jay heard the irregular tapping of a white cane and turned around in shock. When he saw Angeline walking slowly toward the door, a trace of concern suddenly filled his eyes.
Following Josephine's instructions, Angeline walked straight ahead and out of the mall entrance. At this moment, she was exposed to the heavy rain and retreated back into the mall.
However, at the thought of Josephine's trick, she paused for a very brief moment before stepping out bravely once more.
This time, she was almost entirely rushing to the sides blindly as the heavy rain poured down on her.
