“Okay!” I nodded seriously. “Are you going back to Jelaston now?”

“Yes, seeing for myself that you’re okay will make me feel at ease.”

“Jack, you don’t have to…”

He responded lightly, “Can’t I be concerned about a friend?”

I sighed in relief, smiling gratefully, and said nothing more.

“Call me anytime if you need anything.”

After giving that instruction, Jack looked at Megan. “Miss Smith, did you drive here? Do you need a lift?”

“I…” Megan’s eyes darted, and she shook her head obediently. “I didn’t drive here myself. My driver dropped me off and left after that. Thank you, Mr. Renolds!”

On the way back to the room, Jane asked curiously, “Does Megan like Jack?”

“I think so,” I smiled as I answered.

Megan is sweet and lively, while Jack is gentle and considerate. If they ended up together, they would make a perfect couple.

Plus, with Megan’s family background and her brother, Frank, being such a troublemaker, the Renolds family wouldn’t dare mistreat her.

Jane, however, was less optimistic. “I think it’s unlikely. Jack is great, but he’s so stubborn.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Even though you said you and he have made things clear and will only be friends from now on…” Jane frowned. “I still feel like he hasn’t really let go. In this situation, if Megan keeps pushing, she’s bound t end up getting hurt.”

Seeing my concern, she added, “But Megan might be innocent, but she’s from the Smith family and isn’t naive. She won’t be taken advantage of easily.”

In two days, it would be the day after the New Year when the Charlotte Jewelry resumed work. I didn’t want to stay in Jeswood any longer.

Jane had scheduled appointments with three wealthy clients for a fitting in the afternoon. With introductions from the Smith and Shaw families, everything went smoothly.

As we were leaving the last appointment, I checked my phone and saw several missed calls.

The calls were from Frank.

I realized I had set my phone to silent before going to bed last night and forgotten to turn it back on during the day. I had been so focused on clients in the afternoon that I hadn’t checked my phone.

The urgency in his calls was out of character for him.

Something urgent must have come up.

As I got into the car, I called him back, and he answered almost immediately.

Frank’s voice was anxious and urgent. “Charlotte, why aren’t you staying in the hotel if you’re still having an allergic reaction? Why are you running around?”

“What happened?” I quickly inferred that something was wrong and replied, “I just finished a fitting for a client introduced by Madam Shaw and was about to leave.”

“Send me your location. Don’t go anywhere, just wait there for me.”

“Okay.”

I trusted him without suspicion, ended the call, and sent him my location. I then said to Jane, “Jane, you head back to the hotel first. Frank needs me for something urgent.”

“What’s going on?” asked Jane.

I unbuckled my seatbelt. “From his tone, it doesn’t sound like it’s anything bad. Don’t worry.”

As the streetlights began to glow, I stood on the pavement, wrapping my coat tighter against the cold

wind

Turning around, a conspicuous Pagani suddenly screeched to a halt beside me.

The car door opened. I got in and said casually, “Are you trying to run me over…”

“Charlotte, was your allergic reaction last night due to yam?”
