My eyes warmed up, and I laughed and cried at the same time, sending her the location. âSo, youâre not going to Sentrea for a romantic encounter?â
âIs the romantic encounter more important or you? Iâm not going to let you spend the New Year alone.â
She didnât seem to care and cheerfully changed the subject. âBesides, I heard Jeswood is also quite good
for a romantic encounter.â
âSuch great kindness, I canât repay.â
I couldnât help but chuckle. âI can only offer you a full package of food, drink, and fun as a token of my gratitude.â
Actually, Jane and I were so close that we might as well be sharing money.
Neither of us cared about these things.
But when she heard this, she cooperated enthusiastically. âMs. Wilson, youâre so generous! Iâll come right away to cling to you.â
As soon as Jane arrived, my mood improved significantly.
She stood by the window, admiring the snowy scenery of Jeswood. âWhat do you think about the news about Frank?â
I was momentarily taken aback. âWhat do you mean, how do I feel about it? What is there to think?â
âStill playing coy with me?â
Jane poked my forehead. âHe seems interested in you. As for you, should you really be so closed off?â
âA little.â
I sat on the sofa, curled up with my legs, and used my fingers to indicate a small distance, blinking my eyes. âItâs the kind of thing where it could be there, or it could not.â
I had long passed the stage of letting feelings run wild.
It was no so easy to forget what I had experienced.
âWell, thatâs good.â
Jane nodded and sat down beside me. âHe has waited for the Shaw familyâs eldest daughter for so many years. If youâre still not clearâheaded and just keep rushing towards him, itâs like youâre courting disaster.â
âYes, Iâm aware.â
The possibility of me and him was indeed very slim.
Jane couldnât be stopped; she dragged me around the ancient city of Jeswood. In recent years, tourism had boomed, and even during the New Year, the streets were crowded and lively.
Frank called me, but I didnât hear it.
When I tried to call him back, he didnât answer.

In the evening, after Jane and I changed into a new set of clothes at the hotel, we went to the bar.
I had something on my mind and so did she.
Tom was getting married today.
Even though they had broken up, the circle was interconnected. Not only Jane, but even my social media feed was filled with Tomâs wedding photos.
It was quite heartbreaking.
As I drank, the people in front of me began to blur.
Fortunately, the hotel had security everywhere, so it was quite safe.
Jane, who was also quite tipsy, came over with a strong smell of alcohol and looked at me. âAre you⦠are you drunk?â
I shook my head vigorously. âNo, not drunk.â
âOh⦠then letâs keep drinking. Letâs not stop until we get drunk. Forget those stupid men!â
âYeah!â I hiccuped. âItâs fine, Jane, Tom doesnât deserve you at allâ¦â
Saying this, I tried to stand up to hug her but stumbled, tripping over my left foot with my right, and fell straight to the side.
Unexpectedly, I was caught firmly by someone!
I pushed them away, dazedly looked back at the person, my head feeling heavy and light at the same time, seeing a face swaying before my eyes.
âFra⦠Frank?â
The manâs face was as darker than ever. He grabbed my arm to keep me from falling, looked at Jane, and spoke in a deep, slow voice. âAre you alright?â
Jane waved her hand. âOf course Iâm fine! Mr. Smith, just take her back to her room!â
The manâs mood lightened a lot!
Standing next to him, I involuntarily shivered. âFrank, why do you look so much like that⦠whoâ¦â
âWho?â
âRy⦠Ryan.â
âWhich floor?â
â19!â
I pulled the key card from my bag and handed it to him
As we were about to leave the elevator, I squinted and slowly realized something. âHow come you have time to come looking for me?â
He pulled me out of the elevator. âWhy donât I have time?â

âDidnât you find Lilyâ¦â
While speaking, I felt a sharp gaze. Looking over, I saw a man casually leaning against the door to my room, and suddenly, I was dazed!
Frank?
He was Frank, thenâ¦
I seemed to wake up for a moment, shook my head, and widened my eyes to look at the man beside me. I suddenly pulled my hand away and sat down on the floor.
