“Yeah. Her eyes are a carbon copy of yours.” The manager forced a smile onto his face as he watched his arm turning red under Julia’s grip.

Tears welled up in Julia’s eyes immediately. “It must be Rina. It has to be her! She isn’t dead! She’s still alive! Where’s that girl now, sir?” Julia’s cheeks were soaked with tears as she questioned the manager in a trembling voice.

 

“She left just a while ago, so she might still be in the mall,” the manager replied. Right after the manager answered her question, Julia sprinted out of the store without even bothering to take her handbag with her. She ran around in search of a girl who might be her eldest daughter. After hunting around the entire mall, she couldn’t find anyone who wore the necklace or shared the same eyes as her. Julia eventually returned to DT Jewelry with a dejected look on her face.

The manager quickly brought her a glass of warm water. “Did you find her, Mrs. Gray?”

“No,” Julia said while shaking her head.

“Don’t give up just yet. I’m sure you’ll be able to find her since she’s in Seafield.” The manager offered her some words of comfort. He wasn’t sure how Julia and the other lady Julia referred to as ‘Rina’ were related, but he assumed they were close since Julia seemed to care for Rina a lot.

 

“Thank you.” Julia tugged her lips to give him a smile. She pulled her card out and paid for her bracelet before she rushed back to the Gray Residence. “Honey!” Julia cried once she stepped foot into the house.
