Amelia looked at Christopher, feeling a moment of fascination. When did he begin to sense the charm of this man's Eastern presence?
After thinking for a while, Amelia realized that it was probably during their encounter in Sydney at the end of 2009.
He stood tall among a group of foreign businessmen.
Though he could speak fluent English, he didn't say a word in a foreign language on that day. Instead, he spoke Chinese proudly, drawing the attention of all the foreign businessmen present.
Not long ago, Amelia heard that a foreign businessman had learned Chinese just to strike a deal with Christopher.
Such was the dignity of a Chinese man.
During their first encounter in Sydney, Amelia saw the charm that only her compatriots possessed in this man.
Later, inside his car, she found out that he was a heavy smoker, but extinguished his cigarette after learning that she didn't like the smell.
Just a single cigarette.
But it revealed a person's character and upbringing.
