Chapter 1
"Hey? Are you still listening?" Aurelia asked, feeling a bit frustrated. She had been talking for a while, but Sofia Hamilton hadn't responded at all. Could she have fallen asleep?
"Sofia?"
Aurelia asked in confusion, and finally, there was a bit of sound from the other end, "Hold on a second."
Sofia Hamilton was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, holding a laptop, searching for flights to New York.
She had the phone wedged between her ear and shoulder, her hand busy scrolling through pages, booking the earliest flight to New York.
"What are you doing? I'm discussing something important with you."
"Hold on, hold on, I'll be done soon."
Aurelia resignedly said, "Forget it, you deal with your stuff first, I'll think it over by myself."
As Aurelia was about to hang up, Sofia hurriedly stopped her, "Don't hang up yet, I told you to wait a moment."
