Watching You Lisa Jewell 소설 & 이야기

“Well, I'll leave you two to enjoy your evening. I just wanted to check in and see how you were doing.” Lisa thanks her again, and Elsie gives them a little wave as she leaves the sitting room. Lisa and Herzl turn their attention back to the show they're watching. It's a classic story, one that they have watched quite a number of times before, but they never get tired of it. As they watch, she pauses occasionally to ask Herzl questions about the story in the show. He always has such insightful answers, showing that he's really paying attention and absorbing the story. After a while, Herzl yawns and snuggles a little closer to his mother.

He said it smoothly, leaning back and making Laura feel incredibly claustrophobic as he crowded her with his large body. “What are we watching?” He asked and Lisa told him. Alejandro did an admirable job of concealing his grimace. Lisa barely contained her own grin before hitting the play button. Warren rejoined her on the sofa, sending periodic glares over at her husband, who kept his eyes glued on the screen and looked unfairly relaxed.

“Thank you. It’s been… a lot.” “And the inheritance?” the woman asked, lowering her voice. “Your brother must be stepping into big shoes.” Lisa smiled softly. “Castor’s handling things.” It wasn’t a lie. Just not the whole truth. She excused herself and made her way toward the refreshments when she felt it that strange sensation of being watched. She turned. Melissa stood near the far end of the room. Not dressed loudly. No bright colors. No desperate need to be seen. Just calm. Controlled. Effortlessly present.

University. Family gatherings. Even recent pictures taken only days earlier. She whispers, “Someone has been watching me…” Elias replies quietly, “Not someone.” He points upward. “Them.” Lily slowly looks toward the ceiling. Dozens of tiny surveillance cameras stare back at her. The chapter ends as Adrian and Elaine arrive outside the warehouse just in time to hear Lily scream from inside.

Lisa : choose anyone not her. Zayn : calm down, what. Happened to you? I don't see you like this before why you behaving like this lately. Lisa : no I'm just feeling bad. Zayn : don't worry I'll watch her . Lisa : no you don't... I'll watch her. You have so many works so you don't need to watch her. Zayn : okay up to you. I have some meetings outside. Take care. Then Zayn left his company Lisa went to see Sara again.

This is something else entirely. This is just watching. Ellie drops into her seat with the satisfied air of someone who has pulled off a minor heist. "Better than the broadcast. So much better." Lisa's quiet for a moment longer than the others. She'd spent three years watching Tyler from a screen, alone in her apartment with the volume up. She still hasn't told Tyler she's here tonight. But here she is anyway, she thinks. On her own terms. The overhead lights surge on all at once—full stadium brightness, no warning—and the crowd erupts.

“Because life doesn’t work like that, Amelia. You know that as well as anyone.” “Yeah, well, I’m tired of it,” I said, my voice sharper than I intended. “I just want this to be over. I want Gabby to have her son back, I want Frank out of our lives, and I want some semblance of peace for once.” Lisa didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms over her chest. “You know, for someone who’s been through as much as you have, you’re still holding up pretty well.”

Lisa chuckled softly while a smile played on her lips. As the conversation lulled, Kiara turned on the television and began to flip through the channels. Lisa excused herself and turned to leave but paused when she heard Kiara's sudden gasp. She spun around to see Kiara staring at the TV screen, her face pale. "Kiara, what's wrong?" Lisa asked, kneeling beside her. Kiara pointed mutely at the screen as her eyes filled with horror. As Lisa's gaze fell upon Blake's image on the television, a solitary tear slipped down her cheek.

"Found one" Another voice echoed from across the room. "There's more!" Joseph's gaze flicked to Lisa, sharp and unyielding. His voice was low, dangerous. "You've been watched, Lisa. For a long time". Lisa's knees weakened, her stomach twisting as the reality sank in. Cameras. Hidden. Everywhere. And if they were here – who else had seen her every move?

"No. I am busy Daniel. If you don't have anything important to say, I'll hang up." "Wait....you must watch the news. I'll call you later." Dud... dud...dud... Lisa pulled her eyebrows together and stared at the screen blankly, totally mystified. She thought what was there in the news that she must watch? She went to the waiting area to watch the news out of curiosity. When she saw it, her jaw dropped, and her eyes grew wide in surprise. She couldn't react for a while and only eyed at the television screen. A wave of happiness hit her heart, and a smile appeared involuntarily on her face.
