“Lucy Chambers,”
It was the first time someone had called her that after a large gap, and Bohdi Olson’s while voice was unmistakably deliberate.
“Although I do not know how you became Amelia Bright, but the fact is, you are not her, you are Lucy Chambers, if you fall in love with this man you are now beside, you need to think about what identity you love him with, are you really willing to be a double for someone else for the rest of your life?”
After the dramatic change last year, it seems that everyone around her has changed, even Bohdi Olson, who has always played with life, has been talking to her.
And she was speechless for a moment.
“I didn’t want to be anyone’s double.”
“So you’re not Amelia Bright, he knows?”
“He doesn’t know.”
Amelia Bright’s voice trailed off.
She couldn’t deny that she was putting on a show most of the time in front of Farren Austin. She wasn’t even Lucy Chambers, so how could she really indulge in this relationship? One day, she would have to go.
After hanging up the phone, the anxiety about Calla Moon seemed much less, but the dilemma about her identity was much more. A cold late autumn breeze blew in the face, and the weather forecast, it seemed, was saying that a cold wave was coming.
Farren Austin came home late and the lights in his bedroom were out.
He gently lifted the covers and lay down inside. Amelia Bright rolled over just as something cold brushed against her face, and she hesitantly opened her eyes for a moment to feel the cartridge case Farren Austin had been hanging on to.
The unevenness was drenched in moonlight, revealing two clear letters – MW
MW – Calla Moon.
When the two letters overlapped with the name that had been haunting her all day, Amelia Bright suddenly felt some chills in her hands and feet, and her heart suddenly sank, as if she had fallen into an abyss.
The living cannot be compared with the private, because the dead person’s position can never be shaken, if the most important place in his heart has long been reserved for such a dead person, then no matter what happens in the future, she can’t surpass that person’s existence.
At this moment, she somewhat wishes she did not know these things.
The next day
After breakfast, Farren Austin stopped by to take Amelia Bright to the Austin Group.
“I was a little busy in the military last night and didn’t come back to have dinner with you.”
“Oh, I had dinner at Grandpa’s house with Mom.”
Amelia Bright had been sullen all morning, and hadn’t said a word at breakfast.
“I’m going to Yunnan in the next two days.”
“Oh, is there a mission?” Amelia Bright asked casually, perfunctorily.
“No.”
Farren Austin looked at her.
“Mrs. Liu’s brother, Dru Qiu, owned a bar in Beauty River, but turned it over to his friend to run it three years ago, and before that, coincidentally, Barbi Paisley also lived in Beauty River year-round.”
At that, Amelia Bright froze for a moment, and only then did she find a few moments of energy to
“You are going to Yunnan to investigate the relationship between Dru Qiu and Barbi Paisley?”
“Well, I was going to take you with me.”
“Huh?”
“But it doesn’t look like you’re interested.”
“I am,” Amelia Bright straightened up immediately, “I’m interested, it’s an important thing to clear my name, how can I not be interested.”
Farren Austin looked pale, leaning back in his chair with a good-natured smile.
“Not talking all morning, really do not see you have any spirit.”
“I … that I was too tired coming back from a trip to the harbor and didn’t rest well yesterday.”
“…”
“By the way, the woman who came to cook for me yesterday afternoon was a woman who said she was a team member, and she … seemed to dislike me a lot.”
At that, Farren Austin looked at Adjutant Xun, “You had Bick come over to the house to cook?”
“There is no other woman in District 8 now, just one Bick,” Adjutant Xun was busy explaining, “And Bick’s cooking skills are good, there is nothing to do lately, so let her come and help out.”
After saying that, he looked at Amelia Bright.
“Ma’am, you don’t mind, Bick is just like that, usually treats us all like that, doesn’t look good to anyone.”
It seems that Farren Austin did not know that the person who came was Bick.
Amelia Bright nodded slightly, glanced at the black leather leash around Farren Austin’s neck out of the corner of her eye and asked, seemingly unintentionally, “There’s a female member of the Blue Eagle team, huh? That’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“Ma’am, you do not know, this is the tradition of Blue Eagle, when the initial formation of the initial plan is a male and female partners, because there are many times, women in combat is advantageous, but later on the selection of members, for several years down to a total of three female soldiers selected.”
“Three?” Amelia Bright asked curiously, “Is there anyone else besides Bick?”
Adjutant Xun froze for a moment and gave Farren Austin an unnatural look.
“Ma’am just don’t ask.”
“What’s wrong? Is this too confidential to ask?”
“Sacrificed,” Farren Austin’s voice rang out in the car, dull with a wordless pathos, Amelia Bright looked at him sideways, but found that he was looking out the window, a lost look.
At this moment, she actually wanted to ask if the necklace around his neck was engraved with Calla Moon’s name.
But then she thought that if the final answer was not what she had hoped for, she was afraid she would be even more disappointed, so she deliberated for a long time and finally held back.
After arriving at the Austin, the car pulled over to the side of the road and Amelia Bright walked into the group building with her bag.
She was about to go to the president’s office to report to Steven Austin about her trip to the harbor, when she was stopped by Joziah Austin halfway.
“Good morning, sister-in-law, finally back to the company.”
“Since it’s the company, Associate Director Austin should know to call me Vice President Bright.”
There is still a lot of difference between associate director and vice president, knowing that Joziah Austin cares a lot about this, she is inclined to key words to upset him.
“It’s been so long since you’ve been in the office, I thought you were planning to stay home and have a baby and raise a family.”
“Sorry, no such plan at the moment, all for the Austin family to do their best, I think I can help Dad to manage the company, as for the birth of children to pass on the things, Austin deputy director you can work hard.”
“I haven’t seen you in half a month, your mouth is even slicker, who can’t just talk big?” Farren Austin’s voice grew colder, with a sneer.
“I do not know when it comes to the shareholders’ meeting, facing that bunch of old things, you can still be so righteous.”
“I don’t want the Austin assistant director to worry about me, so why don’t you think about how to improve your department’s performance this month, so that you won’t be laughed at?”
Amelia Bright is now a shareholder of the Austin Group and is qualified to attend the AGM. Before going to the harbor, she proposed a takeover of the Chambers family group, which was opposed by almost the entire board of directors, but she insisted on her idea and lobbied Steven Austin several times.
The shareholders’ meeting, which was supposed to be held at the end of the year, was to be held in the near future.
After handing over the contract for the seaport to Steven Austin, Amelia Bright stood unassumingly in front of her desk, waiting for a reply.
