| replied casually, “Yeah, I've made peace with the world and let go of many things.”
Jared frowned slightly. “What brought on this sudden enlightenment? Didn't you mention attending some
spiritual course last time? Did you go?”
| had forgotten all about that. However, since Jared brought it up, | recalled a twhen | felt deeply troubled
and stuck.
A few society ladies had introducedto these supposed mental wellness courses, claiming they helped
overcinner conflicts. | had even signed up.
“I didn’t go. Those courses are just money traps,” | said calmly.
For sreason, Jared found this amusing and chuckled. “So you knew they were scams? | thought you'd need
to be conned at least three times before waking up.”
“My brain isn’t that slow. I'd rather invest in gold with that money,” | scoffed lightly.
“You like gold?” Jared raised an eyebrow.

“Who doesn’t?” | thought his question was rather redundant.
Seeing that | wasn’t in the mood for a conversation, Jared didn’t push further. We arrived back at the villa late at
night.
As | headed downstairs, Jared asked, “Is your... tover?”
| immediately understood his insinuation and thought, ‘What's up? Tracy didn’t satisfy him enough, so he’s back
hseeking more?”
“No,” | replied before heading to my room.
Jared didn’t botherafter that. The next morning at the breakfast table, he suddenly reached over and
touched my ring finger. “Is this a new ring you bought? It doesn’t look that nice.”
I had bought it cheaply from a second-hand market, so of course it couldn't compare with new ones. “I like the
antique style.” | fibbed.
Jared didn’t say anything more after that.
During my lunch break at work, | received a text message from Nathan. He was abroad and senta scenic
photo, with himself absent from the frame.
| glanced at it and replied: [Beautiful.]
Nathan replied: [It's even more stunning here in winter when it’s covered in snow.]
My heart fluttered at the thought. People said sharing was a silent confession, and Nathan seemed to get that.
[I'd love to see it sometime.] | texted back.
He simply responded with a “sure”, and knowing not to overdo it, he didn’t send anything else.
In the afternoon, after wrapping up most of my tasks, | noticed | was added to a new group chat on WhatsApp.
Sally had addedto the chat, mentioning she would pick up Yvonne that afternoon so we could focus on work
without
worry.

| saw Jared, Quinn, and James being added one after another. Sally then renamed the group.
Sally mentioned that any announcements about picking up the kids would be made in this group. | replied with
“Got it.” Jared chimed in with a simple “Okay,” and Quinn immediately sent a voice note complaining about her
busy startup schedule. James remained silent.
With nobody needingto pick up Yvonne, | headed to my old dance stuto practice. | had sbackground
in dance, and after plenty of practice in my previous life, | had developed a good sense of rhythm.
As soon as | walked in, the dance teacher wavedover. “Con, let's film a bit. You did great last time.”
Dancing was my ultimate relaxation. However, not wanting to be recognized, | went downstairs to buy a mask
and borrowed a baseball cap from a classmate.
Dressed in white shorts and a light crop top that showed off my waist, with my long hair flowing freely, | joined
my stylish female teacher for a hot dance routine.
Initially, I was dancing for the students present, but someone nearby was recording the session. Completely
absorbed in the dance, | didn’t notice. Someone approachedto ask if | was the invited instructor because my
moves were so expressive.
The dance teacher gavean appreciative look. “Interested in teaching here? The girls seem to really like you,
and you have a strong sense of rhythm.”
| shook my head. “I'm just here to relax. | don’t have tto teach.”
“These girls are aiming for entertainment careers; money isn't a concern for them,” the dance teacher added.
| was momentarily surprised, realizing they might have misunderstood my situation. When | signed up for the
class, | hadn't mentioned my background, so they probably assumed | might need the job.
