Chapter 342 - Celebration (2) (1/2)

Jamie was holding an empty glass bowl and as she heard what Jessica said the bowl dropped while she stumbled back, her heart racing quickly. Jessica supported her by holding her shoulders as she said ”Are you okay?”

Before Jamie could reply Rachel who had just stepped out rushed back in ”Mom! What happened.”

Jamie smiled ”I am fine, it's just that I am a little clumsy today.”

She looked at Jessica and then back at Rachel ”Go ask your dad to help me in the kitchen.”

Rachel nodded and went out ”Alright, I will send him.”

As Rachel went out an expression of anxiety appeared on her face ”Why is he coming?”

Jessica realised her hands and supported her back against the wall ”Both of them want to meet each other as they want to know their worthy opponent.”

Jamie's mood turned sour ”Why did she have to be so good at business, will it be alright. I still feel it is too soon.”

Jessica said in a calm tone ”Don't worry bout of them didn't have any memory lapse so it should be fine but the problem here is not that. It is that if they detect each others powers Rachel might end up killing him.”

Jamie's eyes widened ”You are right, what are we going to do.”

Jessica smiled ”Let's make tonight's celebration a masquerade ball so that they can not see each other. She won't kill him in front of someone many people and she won't be able to find him later, when he wears a mask.”

Jamie smiled ”You are smart, it's a great idea, let's go with that. I will let all the guests know about this.”

Jessica nodded ”It is perfect for them to spend some time together and with Rachel's attitude, she is never going to ask the other person to remove the mask.”

Jamie nodded and she was about to tell her to go to Rachel when Charles rushed in worried ”Are you alright, did you get hurt.”

Jamie smiled and placed a hand on his arms ”Don't worry, I am fine.”

Jessica left the kitchen and Charles pulled her to the side ”You stay away I will get it cleaned, you take some rest.”

Jamie smiled and placed a hand on his cheek ”Your worry is useless, I am perfectly fine just help me with some things in the kitchen.”

He called a maid to get the floor cleaned and then lightly pushed her out of the kitchen ”No, you are not needed here, I will handle everything.”

Jamie tried to protest but she was pushed out of the kitchen so she went to see the other decorations. Rachel was sitting in her room checking the details of the University that she was going to study in as the classes were to start in next 2 weeks, she began to make a list of the things that she had to study and the time that she had to give to everything, she wanted to be ready for her first day and grasp as much new knowledge as she could. She was always a focused person while doing her work but now as she did her work her thoughts continuously drifted to meeting this mysterious person. She didn't know why but she felt even more excited than she should have been feeling.

Robert had never seen Rachel before he began to plot against her but the day she beat her, he immediately switched on her television and watched her interview. He wanted to see this person and her attitude but what she saw was beyond his expectations. She was the person who had grabbed his attention more than anything and he had felt the urge to live which had vanished from his heart. He smiled coldly and said to himself ”It is a must that we should meet.”

Later he called her but her number was switched off and he had to say that it made him sad. He had asked his sister to arrange for the number and she was more than happy to give it to her. Later when she called back, a smile formed on his lips a little bit of happiness crept into his heart.

After talking to her the smile on his lips widened ”What an exceptional person, I have never seen anyone talk to me in that tone only after hearing my voice. I have to say that in this long and boring life it is the first time someone brought an excitement to it. I am so looking forward to meeting you tonight.”

Later he told Jessica that he was going to join the party which had her worried initially but when her brain gave her the solution, she went to talk to Jamie about it.
