TimeNovelTheir eyes met for a few moments before Soren let out a soft chuckle. "Alright, I'll
stop teasing you. We've known each other for so many years, of course | know
what you're like.
"You don't talk much, you don't make friends easily. But seeing so many new
people around you this time... | have to admit, it surprised me."
Jamie looked at him but still said nothing.
Soren continued, "I'm happy for you, but at the stime, | can't help feeling a
little... upset."
This time, Jamie finally responded. "Why are you upset?"
"Because my Jamie doesn't belong to justanymore."
His words made her unconsciously clench her palm. His gaze was warm, tinged
with amusement, yet she felt an odd weight settle on her chest, making it hard to
breathe.
"My Jamie has grown up. You're not that little girl anymore, the one who used to
follow behind me, calling my nin that soft voice. But | suppose that's a good
thing too."
Soren glanced at her, then at the Magi Pictures logo reflected in the car window
behind her. "Go on. I'll be busy these next couple of days, so | won't be coming to
see you for a while."
Jamie nodded and slowly unfastened her seatbelt.
Just as she was about to close the door, she hesitated, then said, "Soren, about
the marriage... I'll give it serious thought."
Soren held her gaze for a moment before nodding.
Jamie finally shut the door.

As he watched her walk away, a small smile played on his lips.
"Still a kit," he murmured.
In Lila's office, Amelia sat across from her, chin resting on one hand as she
stared.
Ten minutes passed. Then, without warning, she reached out and snatched the
document from Lila's hands.
"Is this boring old file more interesting than me?"
Lila let out a helpless laugh. "Ms. Joyce, if you have something to say, you could
just say it."
She had been patiently holding back, curious to see how long Amelia could stay
quiet. Turns out, it was shorter than she expected.
Amelia seemed to catch on, rolling
the document into a tube and
tapping it lightly against Lila's head.
"I don't have anything to say."
"Nothing about you and Vince? Or maybe... Jamie?"
She added the last part, just in case Amelia didn't want to talk about Vince.
Amelia smirked. "You don't see it? The Lane siblings-both of them are basically
fighting themselves."
Lila shook her head. "Vince is definitely fighting something, but it's not just
himself."
"Oh? You think he's fighting Mr. Lane?"
Seeing the slight furrow in Amelia's
brow, Lila suddenly understood the
meaning of being too deep in the
gto see clearly.
"No. He's fighting you," she said.
Amelia's frown deepened.
After a brief pause, she let out a dry laugh. "Boring. You go back to work. I'm
heading out."
She didn't even wait for Lila's response before getting up and leaving.

Xyla waiting outside.
She had changed outfits-now wearing a loose, lightweight white knit sweater
and a flowing pale yellow chiffon skirt.
Her long, softly curled hair cascaded
over her shoulders, making her look
gentle and elegant-a stark contrast
to Amelia's usual style.
"Ms. Hart, we meet again."
Lila gave a slight nod. "You're waiting for me, aren't you?"
Xyla nodded honestly. "Can we talk?"
"If this is about Vince again, | can't help you."
