Chapter 219 Dance Macabre
Chapter 219 Dance Macabre
Jamie clenches her fist, and her eyes look like a misty lake shrouded by a layer of blurred glory. And a firm decision shows in the bottom of her eyes.
…
In the manor.
Dan goes to the company. In the large restaurant, only Jozo is dining on the rectangular dining table, which seems to only appear on western feast. With Alma standing behind her, she is also accompanied by two rows of servants standing on both sides of the table.
Jozo looks at Cindy. She smiles and says, "Today's breakfast is good. Thank you."
"This is what we should do." Cindy doesn't like Jozo. But since she is a guest of Dan, they have to take good care of her. So she responds politely.
Jozo doesn’t speak anymore. Her face always has gentle smile and she looks at the layout of the villa quietly.
The furnishings and decoration of the villa are very particular while it’s luxurious and low-key. But it will not be dazzling, giving people a very enjoyable feeling.
As soon as she thinks of staying here again with Dan, she feels that she is floating happily.
She raises her eyebrows triumphantly, and drinks the soup.
At this moment, Jamie and Ian walk into the villa while holding each other’s hands. Those on the patrol are very familiar with Jamie and Ian. When they see them, they say hello politely and respectfully.
"Mommy, Daddy is in the company this time. Don't you need to go?" Ian turns to look at Jamie. They’re getting closer and closer to the villa. They walk to the door and opens it.
"He’s in the company ..." Jamie trances for a while and her whole person feels shocked as if she is attacked heavily.
She uses her fingers to count and finally she breathes a sigh of relief.
"Mommy, there seems to be someone in the restaurant." Ian hears the sound of chopsticks and bowls in the restaurant.
He can hear that the person uses light force when he picks it up and down. So it mustn’t be Dan.
Hearing these, Ian becomes little dissatisfied. He drags Jamie and doesn’t want to let her in.
"No matter who he is, let's go upstairs." Jamie glances at the restaurant carelessly. Then she takes Ian's soft little hand and walks up the spiral staircase.
A sound of wheelchair rubbing against the floor turns out behind them. Jozo's soft voice comes and it sounds so sweet, "Is Miss Moore back?"
Jamie just feels shivering. Hearing the sound, she seems to have goose flesh and have the Dance Macabre in her body. She turns around on the stairs and looks at her.
She has to say that Jozo is indeed beautiful, unlike July's visually striking beauty. She always has a soft smile on the corner of her mouth, giving a gentle and tender feeling.
But such kinds of people are really dangerous.
Jozo's patience is very good, and she knows how to use the brain to achieve her goals. This is what Amelia can't compare with.
However, with such a hypocritical smile, Jamie feels tired when she just sees it.
"What's the matter?" Jamie asks lukewarmly and a little indifferent emotion turns out on her small face, as if it doesn’t affect her mood with Jozo’s existence.
"Is Miss Moore going upstairs? I don't know which room is yours. My room is on the far right of the second floor. Dan arranges it for me." Jozo is pushed by Alma towards the stairs and she looks up at Jamie, who is standing on the stairs and looks impatient but has to pretend to smile.
On the far right of the second floor?
Jamie's lips raise a smile. The rooms on the far right of the second floor are all used to entertain guests.
"Of course my mommy is staying with Daddy. What does it matter with my mommy where do you live?" Ian glances at Jozo with a cool expression on his small face, refuting Jozo's words back.
Jozo looks at Ian on the side of Jamie and exposes a trace of imperceptible disgust. She thinks that what she said to him last night could make them shrink back from difficulties. Unexpectedly, this little boy brings Jamie back.
Jozo doesn’t care about Ian's words. She thinks he is just bragging for the sake of grumbling for his mother.
"Miss Moore, your child is really clever and he’s very similar to Miss Moore." Jozo glances at Jamie and Ian, leaving such a meaningful sentence. Then she lets Alma push her out of the villa.
"Mommy, watch out for her." Ian hold Jamie's hand a little heavily and says.
This woman is very dangerous.
"Mommy knows it. Even if she wants to something, she has to understand where she lives now. And I will not let her succeed." Jamie shrugs indifferently and leads Ian upstairs.
Fortunately, Jozo doesn’t do anything extraordinary during the meal. A few rhetorical words are not harmful for Jamie. Jozo just asks for a snub. For Jamie’s calmness and ignorance, she gives up fawning on her. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
It seems that there are many works recently in CR. Although Jamie spends the week at Moon's filming location and Wendy's house, she hasn't missed anything about CR.
A week ago, Dan is seriously hospitalized and injures his right hand. So it piles up a lot of documents waiting for him to see. In addition, CR has recently bid for an investment case. Dan will be busier in recent times.
When she hears that Dan will be busier, Jamie doesn’t take it seriously. He can still take time to accompany the beauty to the party, which shows that he still has much spare time.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the car of Dan still doesn’t show up. Jozo sits in the living room and waits. It seems that she won’t go to sleep until he comes back.
Jamie doesn't care so much. She can just wait if she likes. Then she goes upstairs to prepare for sleep.
Instead of falling asleep immediately, she takes out her white laptop and turns it on. Then she connects it with the wireless network and goes surfing on the network.
After watching it for a long time, she feels tired and prepares to sleep. But she can’t fall asleep.
"How can you film tomorrow if you don't sleep?" Jamie rubs her hair helplessly, and suddenly remembers that Dan's study is beside. She can go to get a book to read. Maybe she will fall asleep while reading it.
In the past, when Jamie can’t sleep, it’s a normal method for her. No matter what book it is, as long as it is a book she can’t understand, she can sleep at first sight!
The light is on in the study, and she stands in front of the bookshelf to look for a book.
This is the first time she walks into the study. It has black and white style and it really fits his character.
Her gaze suddenly stops at a collection of stories.
Only this book is placed upside down.
This arouses Jamie's curiosity.
This book is very familiar.
She opens it and looks at it a few times. She finds no difference. When she is ready to put it back and find a new one, a blue sticky note suddenly falls.
Jamie thinks it is weird. She picks it up and looks at it. There are lively and vigorous characters on it.
Page one hundred and twenty-one, line four, twelfth word; page one hundred and forty-eighth, line twelve, seventh word; page one hundred and seventy-six, line ten…
What does these mean?
When thinking about it, the sound of a car stalling suddenly comes from downstairs. Jamie doesn’t think too much, and puts the book in place and goes back to the room.
