“No, I was actually waiting for the right moment to quit, Emily said, a hint of self-mockery tugging at her lips. “Since
we can’t be together, it’s best to sever the ties cleanly”
“So, what’s your plan for the future? Are you going back to Oakdale City?” Estelle asked.
“No!” Emily’s eyes were clear and determined. “I ran away three years ago. I won’t run away this time. I was born
and grew up in J City, and I love it here. I won’t leave, especially not to lead a nomadic life with Kya. I’ve submitted

Emily turned to her, smiling. “Thank you, Estelle!”

Emily didn’t provide a reason and simply asked, “How are things over there?”
“Great. My bosses are taking good care of me, and they’ve provided lots of holiday bonuses. You don’t need to

Zachary came out of the kitchen and headed upstairs. He called to Damian, “Aren’t we closed to customers now?”

Zachary, hearing Norah had come, changed his direction and headed to the lobby, grinning. “Norah!”
“Happy holiday, everyone!” Norah carried several gift boxes and placed them on the table. “I brought some pies for
you.”
“We’re friends, Norah. No need to be so formal,” Damian laughed.
“They were given to my family, and we can’t eat them all. So I brought some for you all to enjoy!” Norah replied
with a charming smile.
Zachary cast a gaze at the elegant gift boxes and commented. “These look quite expensive. I’m curious to taste
these high-end pies, which probably cost a fortune.”
“Where’s Mr. Flemmings?” Norah asked, looking around.
