Thanks for reading. Enjoy your holiday.
Jamie's eyes widened in dismay as she saw Jeff and Jamie enter the hallway hand in hand.
Elias saw the look on her face, his gaze tracing her gaze. His gaze fell upon Jeff and the stunning woman he held.
He could not help but notice Jamie's shocked, bewildered, and dejected expression despite his happiness.
"My parents are here, let's say hi to them" Elias uttered, grabbing Jamie's hand before she could say a word.
His fist clenched as he wondered why the country bumpkin had chosen this particular day to be an eyesore.
Jeff had an extremely attractive appearance, so much so that men were drawn to him.
jeff was shocked that he had brought Tonia to the ball, but he was even more shocked by Jamie's facial expression.
Ever since her engagement with Elias, she has been ignoring him and Liam. It was like their friendship crumbled.
I | ’ | They are always on the news and Jamie didn't seem interested in talking with jeff. Even if she was busy, they could still text or call each other. ji" Jeff did ask her about dhe engagement and why she didn 't share it with him...

any Tonia was out of his plans tonight but things don't really go the way you il il | want it sometimes. I | il | "Why are you still indifferent towards me? I already apologized, didn't 1?" Tonia uttered, trying to break Jeff's indifference. |
when she asked Jeff to go to the ball with her, she thought he would say no but surprisingly, Jeff said yes.
Tonia had not yet broken up with Edward but they hadn't even talked for days. It was just like they weren't dating. | Tonia wouldn't even have to worry about anything if she hadn't heard the WEE reason why Edward asked her out then.

"Let's just get this done with, Tonia" Jeff answered. "You made a choice i back then, it was none of my business." As the Star Ball officially began, the first dance started. Each person with their partners moved to the stage, dancing and moving swiftly on the dance floor. J Jeff held Tonia's waist, moving her body and his along with the rhythm.
When he was still foolish, he had | 4
dreamt of this scene but now that is happening, Jeff didn't feel what he had anticipated then.
It was normal though. But wasn't he supposed to feel nothing instead of the dread and anger feeling his heart? His eyes met with Jamie and their gaze locked. Jamie's eyes carried a hint of sadness and hurt but Jeff soon averted his gaze, focusing on his dance moves.
When it was time to change partners, Jeff swiftly and perfectly moved Tonia's body to the next partner. At the same time, another female was in Jeff's hand. | This is so tiring, Jeff thought to himself.
"Hey, handsome!" A familiar sharp voice jolted him out of his thoughts. " We meet again tonight, in suits and gowns to celebrate this beautiful Ball." "Oh, it's you," Jamie smirked, recognizing who the woman was.
"you don't remember my name, do you?" The woman asked, faking anger.
"I knew it, my name is Bella. Don't forget it again." "Whatever" Jeff smacked his lips. " Your legs are too tight, adjust a little to make the dance perfect." Since Jeff grew up in an aristocratic family, he learned everything he needed. The Hemsworth family didn't make him learn it just because they love him, they probably didn't want him to embarrass their Family.
"Wow, I grew up going to Party Balls but I've never seen someone as perfect as you." "Thanks for the compliment," Jeff smirked.
"Someone wants to see you for real," Bella said. '"Can you please spare a minute or I pay another million? I've wasted my money on that prick." "Who is he and why should I meet him? Can't he come to meet me?" 4
Before Bella could reply, Jeff had already switched partners.
As the dance ended, Jeff found a corner to sit. He saw Billy and Liam coming towards him. i Billy also came with a dance partner today. Liam still finds it difficult to believe it because the girl is pretty, the type that would only love rich guys.
HARARE "Hl A "I swear I'm not lying! She approached me herself" Billy smacked Liam's back as they walked towards Jeff. i | | | Ili They have even become closer than Jeff who made them know each other.
"Is it even possible? Are you sure you didn't fool her?" Liam teased, sitting beside Jeff, breathing heavily. lk. Ll i J a "Is that how you fooled the girl you brought to the dance, you are such a prick" Liam rolled his eyes, taking the next seat beside Jeff. m "Jeff has no problem, he danced with the most beautiful girl in your year" Hil y
Liam commented, searching Jeff's eyes for emotion. "Are you getting back with her? Don't worry, we won't judge you." | "She's Jeff's ex-girlfriend, right? This guy has good taste unlike you, Liam.
Your taste in women is very bad" Billy commented, laughing at Liam.
| i Al | i A waiter walked past them and Jeff grabbed a drink from the tray.
At that moment, a woman dressed in il i | il | an emerald green dress appeared in front of them, his eyes full of hostility.
"Jeff," Jamie called. "Let's talk fora minute. Meet me outside.” i Jamie turned around and walked away before Jeff could refuse her.
Hil iw LE Jeff had no choice but to hand over the drink to Billy. | " When she got outside, she stood behind the big pillar, fidgeting with her fingers. Her palms were sweating and her heart was beating heavily 4
against her ribcage. | Less than a minute later, Jeff arrived outside, his hands inside his pocket.
"What the hell were you thinking when you brought her to the ball?" Jamie asked angrily, her chest heaving up and down. i "What do you mean? I brought her because she's my date" Jeff answered, unfazed by Jamie's emotion.
"She deceived you! Have you forgotten? ' Jamie was surprised by Jeff's reply, SO she lowered her voice this time.
il "It's just a Ball." "You danced together, touched her waist, held her hands" Jamie verbalized frustratingly. "What if she thinks you want to get back with her." "That's my problem, Jamie. I will sort myself out" Jeff answered calmly.
"Oh, right! Are you angry? Is it because I wasn't your date or because I got
| engaged without telling you guys?" "Whatever suits your boat, Jamie" Jeff replied, his gaze filled with indifference. "I'm not angry and will never be, okay?" Jamie was so annoyed that she stormed away without saying another word. i Jeff let down a breath, wondering why he had behaved like that, He wasn't a himgetpts | "Wow! I didn't know you are so ‘close’ with Jamie Scavo." A deep voice made Jeff turn around. His eyes met with two SE RE pairs of black eyes he hadn't seen before. i war | | "I'm Tom by name, nice to meet you, Jeff.

"Oh," Jeff answered, staring into those dark eyes. "Why did you want to meet 4
me?" | "Why don't we move a little bit away from here, you don't want any unnecessary attention, right?" Tom uttered. if As they got to a more quiet place, Tom smiled, reaching out into his pocket.
He brought out a card.
"Let me introduce myself, once again, "Tom said. "I'm Tom Santiago by name." Tom Santiago? As in Gloria's relative? "Oh, Hello. Why did you want to meet me? I don't fancy getting disturbed whenever I'm doing something" Jeff answered, not really in the mood to talk with Tom.
"Are you close with my sister? I heard you got into my sister's car the other day, is it true?" Tom asked with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"There is nothing between your sister and I" Jeff answered, seeing the

Go straight to the point and stop beating around the bush" Jeff wasn't interested in what Tom thought of him but this guy's dark eyes reminded him of something.
"You are fierce just like I've heard" Tomm giggled. "I just need your help and I promise to pay you generously.
It's a simple task, don't get me wrong." "Do I look like someone who..." | "Of course, you don't look like | someone who would do that. So that's why I need your help" To cut in.

Before Tom could say a word, Jeff already left.
As he returned to the hall, he saw Liam sitting alone with his date.

"Me, I didn't say anything to him" Jeff raised his brows, searching for his phone. To his surprise, his phone was not in his pockets.
"I can't find my phone either," Jeff uttered, standing up on his feet.
Jeff dashed outside and Liam ran after him too.
As they got outside, they heard a loud scream and quickly followed the direction of the noise.
Their eyes landed on the girl, who was trembling.
"He fell from there... He fell..." Jeff rushed to where the girl was pointing at. His heart broke into a million pieces when he saw who the girl was pointing at.

It was Billy, covered in blood.
