Chapter 27: It Is Not Possible PART One

The girl seemed to get the message and followed him to the couch. She knelt down on the carpet beside him. She looked up to his face to see his reaction. Her eyes were like two clear ponds without ripples, faintly tantalizing.

Tristan pulled his tie to loosen it and asked impassively, "What can you do?"

The girl blushed and asked softly, "What do you like?"

Tristan didn't reply but just looked at her and gave no hint.

The long silence made the air solid, and the tension increased. The girl sighed lightly and reached her hand to his belt but didn't loosen it. Her hand moved down across the smooth fabric.

She had very nice hands. They were suitable for playing the piano. Of course, they were suitable for doing what she was doing now too.

When her hand moved to one place, it covered and massaged softly. At the same time, she raised her head. Her nervous eyes now relaxed and had some expectations, like the eyes of a cat, animated and mysterious.

Tristan felt his vision get blurry, and the girl's face seemed to coincide with another one. He trembled a little, but the feeling soon disappeared. He looked closer and felt the same cat-like temptation. He heard himself asking, "What is your name?"

The girl opened her tender lips and said softly, "Bonnie." And she replaced her hand with her lips and kissed it.

Max was a doer. The next day he started to look for a job online. With a letter of college admission and his persuasive introduction, he got a part-time job as an assistant teacher in a school.

After one week's work, he got paid and used the money to buy a royal blue colored dress for Kate in the shopping mall close to the school he worked at. Kate was touched to get this "expensive" gift, but she could not help blaming him for being extravagant.

The hard-earned money turned into an impractical dress. But Max didn't think much of it. He thought if he liked, he could take one more job or tutor some high school students on the side. But Max felt that his sister should wear nicer clothes at her age.

Jimmy called Kate and asked about her brother. He wanted to have dinner with them but then had to cancel their appointments twice for emergency tasks. It was not until school started and Max went to college that they finally could meet.

A few months had passed since Kate had last seen him. Jimmy had changed quite a lot. His face was tanned, and his eyes seemed sharper as if he could identify bad guys from a crowd with just a scan of his eyes.

Max was curious about his new profession and asked him a lot of questions. Jimmy replied to him with patience and added a couple of jokes his team made when handling the cases. Seeing him talking in high spirits, laughing heartily, Kate thought it was so good and that he was still the same with no difference.

When Jimmy went out to take a call during their dinner, Max said to his sister, "Jimmy is so much better than John. I agree 100% if he wants to be my brother-in-law."

Kate gave a glance to the direction of the door and chastised him in a low voice. "What did you say! John has a girlfriend."

"Then how about Jimmy?"

"I don't know."

"That is good then. You have a chance." Max said.

"Stop it." Kate looked depressed. "It is not possible."
