After that banquet, Amanda Smith had been contacted by Joy Parker a few times, and each time she had excused herself due to being busy at work.
She didn't dare, or rather, she was afraid of getting involved with those two people again.
The fact that Samuel Johnson was still alive, and living just as well as before, was good news, but it no longer meant anything to her.
She was happy for him, but she did not want to get tangled up with that person again--subconsciously, she didn't want to get any closer to that man.
That day after work, as Amanda left the office, she heard someone calling her name from afar: "Amanda—Amanda!!"
Without thinking, she looked up and saw Joy Parker waving at her cheerfully from not too far away.
Her long hair flowed loosely, her smile bright and joyful, making her look very happy. Amanda was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and approached Joy, asking, "What's up?"
