Esther found the situation weird, unable to quite process it, while James enjoyed every moment.
It had always bothered him that Esther pursued Mobius so actively. Why was she all in with him butreserved with James? So, even if he wanted to confess today, he aimed to make her confess firstwith a clever move.
"Okay, okay. We're a thing now. Let's not make a big fuss about it." Esther decided to move past theawkwardness.
"So, tell me about your plans for going abroad," James asked, shifting the conversation. Bringingthis matter up made him uneasy. Pearl and Mobius knew about it, but not him.
"Well, you see…" Esther began, noting his change in expression. "The company wants me to shoota movie in Wyncrest, so I'll be abroad for about six months."
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow afternoon, at three-thirty."
No wonder Mobius seemed eager. He must've been waiting for this opportunity. It wasn't a secretthat Mobius was going to Wyncrest for training. The enrollment list was public knowledge.
Since they were both going to the same place, Mobius had deliberately kept Esther for dinnertonight, hoping to reignite their relationship. Thankfully, Esther remained steadfast. Otherwise, shemight've been deceived.
It seemed James had made the right choice to confess tonight. For the first time, he felt like he hadsome psychic ability and felt relieved.
"I have some work to take care of here, so I might not be able to accompany you. But if anythinghappens while you're abroad, call me. I'll drop everything and come to you," James offered.
Esther felt touched. "Thanks, but I doubt anything will happen. Still, I'll call you if I need to." Afterspending so much time together, relying on him had become second nature to her.
"Good girl. Let me give you a gift," James said, accelerating towards downtown.
"It's pretty late. Where are we going?"
James smirked. "You'll find out when we get there."novelbin
He drove to a commercial building in the city center. Despite the late hour, the 24-hour commercialbuilding was brightly lit.
Familiar with the route, James led her into a jewelry store and asked the sales assistant to bring outa limited edition design.
"Bring out the rings I was looking at the other day," James requested.
The sales assistant smiled. "The Fluttering Bonds?"
"Yup."
Watching his smoothness, Esther couldn't help but wonder, "Did you often bring women here?"
How did he know the store and jewelries so well? It was hard not to be suspicious.
