Chapter 27: First Date
Time is quarter past eight at night when the stars gaze in the dark blue sky, and lights on the streets lighten up the way for the people.

After having that dinner with Jamie, Jamie returns to his place on his own. Victor starts his car and fetches me up at the entrance.

Why did she talk like she was waiting for me to go somewhere together? Who is she? Do I know her? Has she mistaken me for her friend? Because if she has, I swear I can be her very best friend of her life for the following few minutes.

With a blank mind, I stand in front of all the messes the juices had made. A cold catches me from my nape causing me to turn a little light-headed.I bow my head low, not because I want to keep my eyes on the floor, I am just too timid to raise my head and look at Jamie’s face.He had a bad day. Being insulted by his employee in front of the clients isn't just any small matter that the boss can get over easily.
