“We’ll make a move now, Mr. Murray. See you around,” Selena said politely.
Jason hastily responded to her before she left. “I haven’t managed to visit you since I arrived in Astoria. When will you and Mr. Fowler be free?”
Pierre looked like he was about to say something, but Selena hastily interrupted him with her words. “You can come anytime you’re free, Mr. Murray.” Then, she slipped her hand into Pierre’s. “We’ll be leaving now. Our doors are open for you whenever you wish to visit us,” Selena uttered before she dragged Pierre away. On the other hand, Jason zoned out for a moment as he watched Selena’s figure disappearing into the distance.
Pierre raised his voice the moment they got into the car. “Since when did he arrive in Astoria? Based on the conversation I heard earlier, it sounds like you guys have already met each other, huh?”
Selena flashed him an awkward smile. “He’s no big deal, anyway. I didn’t think it was necessary to tell you about it after I met him.”
“You’re getting way too bold nowadays, Selena!” he growled as he started the engine.
“I’m not! It was just a coincidence that I bumped into him. How would I have known that he was in Astoria?” She was just as surprised by the situation. What are the chances of me crossing paths with Jason multiple times?
“A coincidence? I bet he did it on purpose. He just gave you some excuse about his aunt being buried here. He must have stalked you and found your schedule. He’s only here because he was following you around intentionally!” Pierre didn’t believe in coincidences, fate, or anything like that! He was sure that it was all arranged!
“No way…” Selena couldn’t bring herself to picture Jason as a stalker. He’s so elegant and charming. How could he be that sort of guy?
“Why not? How else can you explain the fact that you just bumped into him at the headquarters of a cemetery?” Pierre hissed.
