He should have done everything in his power to stop Samuel Johnson earlier! Or when Amanda Smith entered the room, he should have pulled her out!
He wasn't close to Amanda, but he had almost grown up with her. To allow Samuel to do such a thing, he now so regretted it that he wanted to slap himself!
Amanda rose from the desk, her steps a bit unsteady, even staggering as she came down, but she quickly steadied herself. With her hair disheveled and barefoot, she stumbled toward the door.
As she passed by Samuel Johnson, for the first time in her life she didn't stop. Instead, it was Samuel who shuddered, looking unconsciously toward Amanda.

The cold skin of the woman in his palm felt like the cool moisture of jade, making it hard to feel the warmth of a living person.
