So, was Walter Smith planning to…
Lissy Lock's thought was interrupted by a push on her wrist from Walter. She looked seriously at him, and then shook her head, "I…"
Didn't understand.
"Do you, want, to, come, with me…"
Walter looked into her eyes, speaking slowly, word by word, pronouncing each word with distinct clarity.
The confusion has vanished from Lissy Lock's face. She... understood.
Does she want to go with him?
Go? Where to?
Can she get away?
Lissy Lock thought, count to ten silently, and she was certain John Fame would arrive soon.
Just ten counts, she reckoned, was the limit of John Fame's patience.
Behind her was John Fame, Kai Piers stood by her side, she was facing Walter Smith, and there were occasionally passing by employees.
Lissy Lock licked her lips.
This brief moment suddenly feels so prolonged.
How should she respond to Walter Smith?
Lissy Lock was staring at him, without batting an eye.
