“Enough about me. Say, where have you been for the past ten years?”
“Sigh…”
Quincy sighed.
“Back then, something happened to my boyfriend’s family. I was devastated and moved to Melpolis with my family. I just came back. Coincidentally, I heard a member of the Cadens had survived and even managed to take back the former businesses’ of his family from The Great Four. I thought about it and decided to see what it was all about. I also applied for the vice-president position while at it.”
Quincy looked at Thea.
“By the way, I heard you got badly burnt while you were saving a Caden from the Caden residence?”
“Yes.” Thea nodded.
“Who was it?” Drinking her coffee, she looked at Thea.
Thea shook her head and said, “I don’t know. He was on fire when I saved him. The situation was dire, and I pulled him out of the fire without having a clear glimpse of his face.”
“Did he not look for you?”
“He…”
Wearing a flustered look, she contemplated and said, “I guess he did. However, he was wearing a ghost mask. So, I couldn’t see his face. I came here today to find him and explain things to him.”
“I see…”
“By the way, why didn’t you tell me your boyfriend from ten years ago was a Caden?”
Hearing this, Quincy sighed. “We were only dating for a few months. We planned to announce our relationship after graduating senior high. However, I didn’t expect such a disaster to fall upon the Cadens before graduation. Sigh…”
Thea was curious. “What’s his name?”
“James.”
“Huh?”
Thea froze.
“Oh, I remember now.” Quincy caught on. “I heard the Callahans found you a new husband. He’s called James, too, isn’t he? What a coincidence.”
“Yes, indeed.” Thea recollected herself.
As James Caden was a common name in Cansington, it was not surprising for two people to have the exact same name.
They conversed in the coffee shop, recounting their past events.
“Oh, yeah…”
