Chapter 62 Capturing the Hearts of the Masses The women who were in the midst of a heated discussion were startled by his voice. They reflexively turned around and hid the phone behind their backs. “Umm… Mr. Brown.” David wasn’t a stern man. But he was Lucian’s assistant and represented him. Lucian was known to dislike employees gossiping in the office even during break times. “We’ll go to the Finance Department and write ourselves up. Can you please turn a blind eye to this? I accidentally opened it. So, I took a tiny peek.” David frowned and persisted with his question. “What is that program called? Answer my question. I’m not interested in your nonsense.” The female secretary cursed him internally for being nosy and answered, “It’s something about craftsmanship.” The documentary was about traditional crafts of intangible cultural heritage. The first episode featured conservator restorers. But what had him interested in the program wasn’t its contents. It was the person who never showed their face from beginning to end. The entire episode was shot with a focus on their hands. Even their gender remained uncertain because of the way they dressed and the size of their hands. A glance clued him in on how familiar the pair of hands were. Now, he was certain. It was Calista! He took a tablet and knocked on the door of the president’s office. “Ms. Everhart is on TV, Mr. Northwood!” Lucian frowned. His first thought was that his relationship with Calista had been exposed by the media. Reporters weren’t invited to Selena’s birthday party. But with so many people there, there were no secrets that could stay hidden forever. “Have the PR team handle it. Don’t report such trivial matters to me.” David aulne +15 BONUS “I think you should take a look at this, Mr. Northwood.” It would’ve been alright if it were just an ordinary explanation about the restoration of cultural artifacts. But there was also a clip of the hands of two people. He wasn’t sure what was happening with the people online. They were pairing them together. An ordinary mistake produced so many unrealistic ideas. Some people have made clips of the moment and posted them on a video site. The show wasn’t popular. But the video of them holding hands took off. It was on the trending searches. Most of the comments were about wanting the woman to show her face. Only a small portion of the comments were about the man’s good looks. The director certainly knew how to catch the curiosity of the people on the Internet. A documentary about the profession was filmed as if it were a cheesy soap opera. The two protagonists, one who showed his face and the other who didn’t, had captured the hearts of many. What David showed Lucian was an edited clip. The man looked coldly watched as the hands accidentally touched in the video before quickly separating. He could hear the soft, distorted voice of a woman echoing in his ears saying, “It’s okay“. His emotions were taking a drastic turn. Something was churning from within him. But he reigned it Lucian had a good memory. He instantly recognized the man in the video… He was the person who sat next to Calista at the stall the last time they met. He looked up and turned his gaze to David. “How do you know the woman to be Calista? Only her hands are in the frame.” David’s heart skipped a beat. He noticed that Lucian sounded off. But he had no idea how he had offended his moody superior again. He answered honestly, “Ms. Everhart has a mole on the back of her hand.” t wasn’t a particularly distinctive feature. But having a mole in the same place was relatively incommon. Lucian’s gaze returned to the tablet. The video kept replaying the segment where heir hands briefly touched. +15 BONUS He spoke in a low voice, “Leave me.” David hesitated. He couldn’t quite grasp what Lucian was thinking and ultimately set the tablet down. He could feel the growing tension in the office and quickly left. Lucian paused the video with a blank expression. There was a grim look in his eyes as he watched the fair and slender hand being held by another man. He was quick to let go. But Lucian found the sight to be an eyesore. He opened his call log and gave Calista a call. They hadn’t contacted each other since their last argument. It had been nearly half a month since then. “Sorry. The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.” Lucian was silent. He called again ten minutes later. Still, there was no answer. The man smiled coldly as he put on his coat and left the office. When he passed David’s workstation, he, for some reason, took David’s phone and dialed Calista’s number. After a brief moment of silence, a beeping sound could be heard through the receiver. 1 That woman had blocked his number! His expression grew even colder. He didn’t […]
