How was Jamie not supposed to worry?If Alvin really went for the internship at Lockhart Group, he would then forever be under Xavier's watchful eyes.She tried her best to think of something. She had to tell Alvin to reject Xavier's offer no matter what.Soon, Andrew brought Jamie out of the room, and the bodyguards outside prevented her from going back in. However, Jamie didn't leave. She just stood there and waited anxiously for Xavier and Alvin to exit.The tension in the air was thick. Jamie still stood there without moving.Meanwhile, inside the practice room, the music had already been turned off, so it was so silent that anyone could hear a pin drop."Mr. Lockhart," Peter started, trying to call out to Xavier.Xavier then said quietly, "Both of you can leave now. I want to talk to him in private."Xavier was not asking them for permission, nor was he open for discussion. It was an order.John and Peter exchanged glances once again. However, they didn't dare to linger a

"What are you doing still standing there?" Peter asked Alvin, gesturing for him to come over.Peter had always known about Alvin's financial background, so he thought that this was a one-in-a-million chance for Alvin to succeed in his career.However, before Peter could say anything else, he saw Xavier marching toward Jamie and Alvin in the middle of the room.Peter and John exchanged glances before going quiet.Alvin also realized it, so he followed Xavier until they stopped in front of Jamie.Jamie's voice was trembling as she called out, "U-Uncle Xav…"She made sure to greet him properly, forcing herself to calm down in the meantime. The wheels in her head began to turn rapidly. She was trying to find a way to explain her behavior with Alvin just now.After all, in her past life, Xavier had cornered Alvin so badly that there was no other way out for him. Jamie could still remember the desolation and helplessness she felt. Nobody in Asteria could ever escape Xavier's wrath o

The music was still playing in the practice room, making both Jamie and Alvin miss the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside.…The college dean, John Crawford, and architecture faculty dean, Peter Holt, struggled to keep up with Xavier's walking pace.Every year, Lockhart Group would offer internships to a group of top-performing students from Aster College, and many of the interns would then continue working long-term with the company afterward.Xavier himself was considered a genius in the business industry, so he had always been invited over to Aster College to give talks. Usually, he would reject those invitations, and everyone was used to his rejections.This year, however, Xavier had agreed to give the talk. In fact, he hadn't just agreed to give the talk—he even wanted to personally meet with the group of recommended top students who would be receiving the internship offer from the company.Xavier's decision confused the deans to no end. However, since Xav

Just as Jamie's lips were going to press against Alvin's, he suddenly used all of his strength to pull her away and to their feet.Their lips brushed very closely against each other, leaving just a sliver of warmth before it disappeared instantaneously. Meanwhile, Jamie had already been pulled to her feet properly. "Didn't you say you were going to practice?" Alvin asked, taking a step back after calming down.Jamie exclaimed softly. "Oh. Right. Then, I'll be practicing. You can just stay there and watch."Alvin hummed in acknowledgement. He continued standing in place as his eyes followed Jamie around the practice room. Probably because there was nobody else in the room besides them both—the look in Alvin's eyes was less restrained and a little more greedy today. Still, the look only appeared for a brief moment, so Jamie never caught sight of it.Jamie coughed slightly and went back to the sound system to replay the song. Then, she started dancing once again with Alvin as he

The look in Alvin's eyes was clear, albeit mixed in with some murky emotions.He clenched his fist in his pocket. He wasn't even moving, and the air-conditioning in the practice room was turned all the way down, yet he felt warm and sweaty.He was just simply mesmerized by Jamie, who was dancing before his eyes. He could feel himself reacting to her in a physical way.This wasn't the first time Jamie danced. However, this was the first time that he was the only audience when she danced. At one point, Alvin even started harboring extreme thoughts in his head.He wanted Jamie to dance only for him.While still lost in thought, the music slowly faded out, and the practice room descended into silence once more."Alvin?"It was only then that Jamie realized he was there.She smiled brightly at once and hurried over toward Alvin. "Why didn't you tell me that you were here?"She had been so excited to see him that she never noticed that a mat had slid onto the floor ahead of her. She

Xavier never bothered cleaning his wounds, not even until the blood had nearly dried up.As soon as Xavier answered the call, Andrew's voice was heard on the other end. "Mr. Lockhart, the dean of Aster College is inviting you over so that they may recommend their top students to intern at Lockhart Group. They'd also like to invite you to give a talk."The Dean of Aster College, John Crawford, had quite an amicable relationship with the Lockharts. Naturally, Xavier would hear them out if he received any requests from them. That was why Andrew told Xavier about the invitation right away to get his opinion on it."When?" Xavier asked, his voice low and deep."Mr. Crawford said that you could go over anytime you're available," said Andrew."Then I'm going there now," Xavier replied straight away. Andrew was at a loss for words.Xavier seldom ever acted this nonsensical. In fact, he never did. However, Andrew quickly put two and two together. Jamie was studying at Aster College, aft

Xavier then thought back to the day when Jamie argued with him because of Alvin. Suddenly, a cold chuckle escaped Xavier's lips.The chuckle made Jamie extremely nervous and pressured.She quickly calmed herself down and said, "The original performer for Freshman Night broke her leg, so the Arts and Literature Club president asked me to take over her spot. Since it was a ballet performance, I just came back to get my costumes and shoes."Jamie explained everything as quickly as she could."When is it?" Xavier asked calmly."Three days from today," she replied.Xavier hummed, still as calmly as ever. Then, he passed the bag of costumes back to Jamie.His birthday was exactly three days later too, on September 9th. However, Jamie never mentioned it or brought it up at all.When Jamie saw him handing her the bag of costumes, she quickly snatched it from him and accidentally touched his hand.Jamie shivered briefly and subconsciously took another step back."If there's nothing el

Jamie didn't mind. She slowly savored each bite until she was finally done. Then, she got up, gathered her dirty dishes, and put them away.She planned a quick trip back to the apartment at Bay Heights to retrieve her ballet outfits, figuring Xavier wouldn't be there at that hour. If Luke hadn't asked her for this favor, Jamie would never have stepped another foot back inside Bay Heights for the rest of her life.She inhaled deeply before leaving the campus in a hurry.Bay Heights wasn't far from her college—it was just three subway stops away. Jamie stole upstairs to her unit. The door was digitally locked, and she swiftly keyed in the passcode before entering.She hadn't been back here for at least half a year. The apartment was still looking like how she'd left with, without a single speck of dust. Obviously, the maids had been cleaning the place every day.Jamie didn't care. She also ignored the fact that there were a few extra men's items in the apartment belonging to Xavie

Jamie stared at the keys in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry. Luke was really putting her on the spot.Of course, Jamie knew ballet. She used to win many awards and accreditations back then. The only reason why she continued dancing was simply because Xavier liked it when she danced. So, she only put up with the hardship and tiredness for him.Xavier would always ask Jamie to dance for him on his birthday every year as his birthday gift. So, Jamie would seriously prepare for it every year. As time passed, Jamie soon learned and memorized many ballet dances by heart.Now, however, Jamie wasn't going to do this anymore. She was cutting off all ties with Xavier in this life. She hadn't even wanted to pick up ballet again anymore.Because of her decision, she left all of her expensive ballet costumes and shoes sealed away in a box back at Xavier's apartment. She never thought that she would be dancing again under such circumstances."If you don't want to do it, I can h
