Chapter 43 Later that night

Later that night "Why do you always prefer to keep things hidden?" Liam sounded angry.

''] was wondering why the little girl looked familiar! She is, I believe, Elias's cousin too? Jamie asked, a bit surprised. She was happy, in a way, and not angry like Liam.

She thought Amy looked familiar when she saw her back in Arty City, but she could not place the little girl.

"Back then, I should have known. But what's with you and Elias? Aren't you supposed to get along?" ''T have no idea what the issue is with him." Jeff frowned and explained how he met Elias at All-Star and how the

latter behaved.

"I had no idea Elias was that way. He was my senior in high school, and we attended the same one," Jamie remarked. "I've heard many rumors but I just didn't believe." "It is only you who does not realize how conceited and brash he is," Liam exhaled a breathless statement. "You just do not know that you are one of those fans who are obsessed." "Hey, look who is talking. When I was singing one of their songs, did not you join in?" Jamie retorted. "I will listen to his song if it is good, but even though I am a fan, I can not support his arrogance." "Whatever the case! It appears that Jeff is his new target. Liam chuckled. "Be prepared; he is going to bully you."

"I thought this was a fun place to be and not something to discuss," Jeff remarked absentmindedly. ~~ While Jeff was sipping his drink and watching Jamie and Liam dance wildly, the dimly lit bar was bustling with possible introductions and sideways glances.

Jeff sat by himself at one end, sipping his drink while he was engrossed in the cacophony of laughter and voices.

As the neon lights flickered, a girl with a mischievous smile approached Jeff.

Her hazel eyes held a glimmer of curiosity, and her presence energized the air around them. She leaned in closer and said, "Care to dance?" Jeff looked surprised, shocked at her audacity. He hesitated for a moment before flashing a charming smile.

"Sure, why not?" As they smoothly twirled and spun around the dance floor in unison, the contagious beat of the music coursed through their bodies.
