Ever since that eye contact with Jason Hawthorne across the sea of people, Laura Quincy felt like she was being watched wherever she went, as if someone had their eyes fixed on her...
She found an excuse to go to the restroom, taking the opportunity to clear her mind.
After leaving the restroom, she didn't return to the hall immediately, as she stumbled upon a secluded balcony where she could breathe fresh air.
Laura delightedly leaned over the balcony and took off her high heels, feeling comfortable all over.
While she was happily enjoying her solitude, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching, startling her into turning around quickly.
When she saw who it was, she was shocked, her mouth falling open.
"Why are you here?"
Jason Hawthorne stared at her with deep eyes, "Why can't I be here?"
Laura instantly felt the atmosphere around her drop significantly. Tired of arguing with this dangerous man, she bent down to put on her shoes, ready to leave.
