Chapter 84
You wanted to see blade Arlina stood there, lost for words but what more could she say... Jeff already left.
She noticed him trailing behind Professor Paul like a young child as she made her way back inside. Jeff had an unmistakable quality that made him stand out.
When he chooses to reciprocate verbatim, when he displays indifference, and when he shows kindness toward those who are important to him... He appears to bea different person every time.
This was the same boy who made her feel fear.
"you are back, inside," Amelia said to
her boss. "Are you alright?" "Yes," was Arlina's response. "Run a background check on him." Without uttering his name, Arlina fixed her attention on Jeff. When Amelia saw Jeff, she was taken aback as well. What was the boy doing at the Trinder's birthday banquet? "All right, Boss," she replied.
Keeping secrets is just one of the many things that come with working for a large family.
11$0 much drama," Amelia mused to herself before leaving to pickup a phone call.
professor Paul kept talking to Jeff which annoyed Jeff to the core. Because of the looks he got when he entered the ballroom, he did not want to stay by
himself.
Jeff was a young, attractive man. Many people were captivated by his appearance.
"Just stay in one place," Professor Paul said from behind.
"Don't talk to other people and stay in one place" Jeff answered. "These are reasons I don't like attending events like this." you wanted to see Blade." With his eyes fixed on his teacher, Jeff answered, "That was because you said he was so difficult to see and I need answers from him." "What answer?" Paul the professor enquired.
. g . RITE with a hint of sarcasm, Jeff said, "Just
face your music and do not interfere with our special traditional medicine thingy." "You promised to choose Music as your minor course" Professor Paul suddenly recalled. "You are such a liar!" "It's not even long since we resumed. A week or so. I don't lie unlike you" Jeff shot back, glaring at his teacher.
you know what?! Stay in one place and don't follow me around anymore." "No, I will do what I want." "You are..." "professor Paul." A voice called out, breaking their playful exchange. Jeff turned to look at a stranger who was giving him such a
sweet look.
Jeff frowned.
"Ah, Hi," Professor Paul said, a smile creeping into his lips. "Miss... I'm sorry I forgot your name." "That's so unfair" Although she gave a pitiful response, the woman did not seem to be upset. "Since you can not remember my last name, just call me Gloria." "Oh, I will do just that." The way Professor Paul answered... It was like he had been waiting for the precious moment to happen.
Gloria nudged Professor Paul with her elbow and said, "I did not know you had a son." For more than a minute, Jeff and
Professor Paul gazed at Gloria with peculiar looks that were almost identical.
"Am I not right?" Struck by their peculiar expression, she inquired.
"You are very wrong" Jeff and Professor Paul uttered simultaneously.
"0h, you have such a strange relationship." Jeff turned away from her, choosing to move away from both her and Professor Paul. The woman seemed interested in Professor Paul.
But tell me your name, because you seem familiar, but I can not remember where I saw you." With her eyebrows raised, Gloria pressed her lips together as though she was trying to recall
something.
jeff answered, "I am Jeff," and he turned to head out once more.
"Right! You are the new cover for Draco Magazine. Director Anderson claimed that he made an impromptu modification to the model. I never expected to run into you here." As Gloria talked, her voice was beaming with excitement.
"You know Director Anderson?" Abit taken aback, Jeff inquired.
Gloria reached into her purse and pulled out a white business card. She said, "Please take it," and gave it to him.
Jeff's gaze moved over the business card, taking in its contents.
Jeff read the words, "Gloria Santiago,
CEO of Draco Magazine," and was taken aback to learn that the CEO was a young woman. "Ahh... Nice to meet you." Jeff thought back to what Liam had told him in Arty City. The Malfoy, The Scavo, and the Santiago Families are the three biggest families in Starry City.
Since he arrived, Jeff had not heard a single word about the Santiago Family, it was like they never existed. He was quite surprised to find one.
"Good to meet you as well," Gloria said. "Director Anderson is a close family and we are very familiar with each other. He said you aren't interested in becoming a model." Nah, I just helped because the male model was nowhere to be found."
"Oh okay," Gloria smiled awkwardly.
"And don't worry about the male model. If anything happens, we will take action." Jeff murmured his thanks leaving Gloria with Professor Paul who had been throwing daggers at him with his glances.
Just as he walked forward, he picked up a glass of champagne.
"What are you doing here?" From behind him came the sound of a familiar voice.
Jeff turned to see Ella and her husband observing him with curious eyes.
"0h, Uncle Shawn and His wife" Jeff greeted, turned his head away, and decided to leave.
"What are you doing here? Are you
here to cause trouble knowing that Grandmother Hemsworth will be here" Shawn couldn't help but ask. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
The last time he had met with Jeff was at the police station where he had tried to lock Ella up using his Identity.
If Shawn had involved the Trinder family back then, things would have remained the same because no one really cared about Shawn.
1] came with a friend," Jeff said and shifted his gaze to Professor Paul.
"And you should know by now that I'm not a troublemaker. I only trouble those who trouble me. Please let's keep it peaceful and avoid bumping into each other. Thank you." A look of regret flashed through Shawn's eyes as Jeff walked away. He wished he was more nice to Jeff. Maybe
the Trinder Family would have considered him a family if it was known that he knew a genius Although, Edward was a genius... There are some things he didn't like about Edward, some things that can only be seen with inner eyes.
"Madam Trinder is coming, the birthday banquet has officially begun." Shawn turned his gaze to Madam Trinder and as their eyes met, she turned her eyes away hurriedly.
