"Make it public?" Barry raised his eyebrows, "Of course, I don't want to. But if any news about us arises, don't clarify it. That's all."
"Alright sir."
"I'm going to my office. See you later." Barry went into the car and Robert drove him away.
Jaime became more confused as he watched Barry leave. He was used to the ups and downs of the entertainment circle, but he couldn't figure out how these two got along.
"Hello? Lucas?" Barry was on the phone in the car.
"Yes? What can I do for you?" Lucas asked roughly from the other end. "Or do you want to invite me to another love and heartbreak moment and have us get drunk?"
"I don't have time for any nonsense," Barry said with a cold voice. "I have something important to request for."
"Okay then. Go ahead."
"I know a child who needs a cornea surgery. Please, help me keep an eye on the database of donations. Call me as soon as there are suitable corneas available."
"A child?" Lucas asked. "Whose child? How old is the child? Is it a boy or a girl? What does he or she have to do with you?"
"Why do you ask so many questions? Just do as you're told!" Barry gritted his teeth.
"You are the same as William! What's wrong with asking those questions? I'm just curious. Besides, I'm a doctor. I should know the details of the patient in question.
Even William..."
Lucas was still nagging on the phone when Barry hung up on him. Finally, Barry got the silence he craved.
That afternoo
cause I wanted you to find a solution, not blame someone!"
"Ha ha!" Lucas chuckled and raised his eyebrows at Barry. "You already feel sorry for her because I just blamed her a little bit. Well, forget about what I said. I will work something out for you. Don't worry."
Selah glanced at Barry and blushed. This doctor didn't sound much like a professional when he was speaking.
While Lucas discussed with them, he suddenly sighted Jazlyn. Lucas' eyes lit up. "I've got to go. Enjoy yourselves!"
The music in the hall came alive in that moment. The male and female guests poured onto the dance floor in pairs.
"Ah, is that you, Mr. Gu?"
A man appeared beside Barry and Selah. He was about fifty years old and looked ordinary, but he stared at Selah with evil eyes.
"Mr. Feng, how are you?" Barry stood in front of Selah and shook hands with Mr. Feng, shielding her away from the man. Selah noticed this. She couldn't explain if she was touched because she had never experienced true love and was just shocked at its beauty. But what she knew was that Barry's protectiveness of her made her fall for him even more.
Barry suddenly struck her as an intensely caring man. Selah wanted to burst into tears as she stood behind him.
"May I have the pleasure of dancing with Miss Selah Shen?" Mr. Feng asked with a smile. "I've seen the advertisement she shot. She has such a beautiful body!" The nasty chuckle that ended his statement made Selah shiver.
