Jessica collapsed onto her seat, exclaiming, “It’s all Ms. Larson’s fault! If she hadn’t joined the company, we wouldn’t have met with this misfortune.” The other employees in the design department had already submitted themselves to their fates. Once Carter left the office, he immediately got into his car and drove off to a certain neighborhood. It was the one in which Tiffany stayed. Carter parked his car. He sat inside, but the road was quiet outside. It was hard to tell if he was waiting for someone or if he had merely driven here by coincidence on a joyride. Carter remained in this position for nearly half the night. When he finally caught sight of a woman walking towards the entrance, Carter immediately leaped into action.

He got out of the car and dashed straight towards her. The woman was none other than Tiffany, carrying a rubbish bag and dressed casually in a t-shirt and flip-flops. She waved to the security guard on duty as she walked past him. However, she had only taken a few steps when she encountered the sight of Carter racing towards her. Tiffany stopped short in her tracks. She froze for a moment. Then she quickly recovered her wits and strode off hastily in the other direction. Carter quickened his pace and caught up with her. Fearing that she’d slip off, he grabbed hold of her arm. “Wait, Tiffany! I have something to ask you,” Carter had long since abandoned every thought of preserving his cool image in his great urgency.

This exchange had roused the security guard’s suspicions. He ran out from his post and eyed Carter with distaste, saying, “Ms. Winters, do you need my assistance?” Carter broke in. “She’s my friend.” Tiffany glared at Carter. However, she was unwilling to escalate the matter further. Tiffany thus replied the security guard, saying, “I’m fine, Mr. Langston. He’s my friend.” The security guard fixed his gaze on Carter as he said, “That’s fine, Ms. Winters. Just give me a yell anytime you need my help.” Tiffany nodded. After the security guard had returned to his post, Tiffany said scornfully, “Mr. Scott, you’re indeed a jinx. Even the security guard thinks that you’re a bad seed.” Carter looked thunderous. “Tiffany, I didn’t come here to be insulted. I came to explain the matter regarding Amelia.” Carter decided to get directly to the point.

“Carter, can’t you get it through your head that Amelia’s already married? Is there any use for you clinging onto her like this? If you still hadn’t managed to succeed all those years ago, what makes you think you’d have a better chance now?” Tiffany tried to wrench her arm from his grip, but Carter held fast. “Carter, what on earth are you trying to do? I live here. What will my neighbors think when they see you clinging onto me like this?” Tiffany decidedly did not want to be associated with Carter. He was handsome and eligible, and much like Oscar, turned heads wherever he went. It was impossible for anyone not to notice him. Tiffany was terrified that her neighbors would mistake him for her boyfriend or one of her suitors.

of any genuine desire to rekindle their old friendship, to be sure. “Carter, you can say whatever you came to say right here. I don’t want to get into any trouble because of you. You’re a brilliant man, but you’re also very much a jinx. Nothing good will come out of meeting you.” It was impossible for

chapter in his past that he’d fervently hoped would never see the light of day. Carter had truly loved Amelia. He had left Amelia behind with good reason, but the fact remained that he had deserted her in her time of need. “I’m sorry,” Carter mumbled in a low voice. “Carter, let’s not bring up the past. Let me remind you once again that Amelia is doing well now. If you truly care for her, don’t look

struck by lightning. What did she just say? Did Amelia like me previously? Is that true? “Did you say that Amelia liked me?” Carter stammered with some difficulty. Tiffany looked at him curiously. “Is it that much of a surprise to you?” “Did Amelia really like me before?” Carter repeated. Tiffany nodded. “Amelia liked you since you were in university. Or I should say had a crush on you, rather. I thought an intelligent

able to tell just how great an effect this news had on him. Tiffany waved a hand in front of his face. “Hey, jinx, are you OK?” Carter seized Tiffany’s hand and looked at her with a piercing gaze. “Does Amelia really like me?” “NO!” Tiffany shot back immediately, exasperated. “I only said she liked you before, but certainly not now. You’re just a figure from her past now.” Carter naturally interpreted this to mean that Amelia still loved him. He was suddenly filled with endless longing and an insurmountable hope that
