Day Eighty-Four…
~~*****~~
Jane shifted her gaze back and forth between Vincent and Nathan. She felt conflicted for a moment as she understood the meaning of Vincent's gesture. He wanted her to prove to him that she was serious about choosing him over Nathan.
"Jane, can we please talk for a moment?" Nathan softly asked her.
The elders just observed them silently, waiting for Jane's decision.
"Fine. Let's talk. But Vincent will be coming with us."
Vincent smirked the moment he heard that. On the other hand, Nathan felt disappointed.
"I wish to talk to you. Alone," Nathan mumbled firmly, his eyes not leaving her face.
Mr. Hiroshi and Old Master Yan could feel the heavy tension in the air.
"Then I won't talk to you," Jane responded with finality in her voice. She lowered her gaze since she couldn't look straight into Nathan's eyes.
