Chapter 23: Lord Jason

"Lord Jason?" he asked, and she quickly packed her snacks into her basket, grabbing the rest in his hands and sliding away. Jason Normandy needed clarification. She slipped away, her seemingly frictionless shoes skidding on the white stone tile. Her running figure was quite amusing. Just as he was about to turn away, he spotted someone right in the corner of his eye and frowned. The familiar man seemed to hold a woman's hands, caressing them gently. He circled the shelves to find a spot where no one could see him, then fixed his gaze on their figure. He couldn't see their faces well, so he walked around another shelf. Unknown to him, he followed Janet, who had run away just a second ago. Janet had thought she had successfully run away. She placed her hand on her chest to calm her heart. How could she have called him Lord Jason? Why did she run? She slapped her mouth as embarrassment washed up again at the thought of running away like that. She actually slid away.
