Strangers Again

Jackson stuck out his hand and smiled at Halia, "Nice to meet you, Miss Feng."

Halia froze and stared at the man's hand in confusion. They obviously knew each other, but why did he seem so foreign.

At that moment, a blond-haired woman suddenly ran up to Jackson and started speaking in French as she ran her hands across his chest. Jackson quickly retrieved his hand and spoke back to the woman in French. The woman was tall, her body was curvy and she had sparkly blue eyes. Who was she?

Emerson looked at the two and chuckled. He then whispered beside Halia's ear, "That's my brother's girlfriend. They just returned from France together. I heard my brother was injured and she saved his life..."

Halia's eyes grew wide in shock as she felt her heart sink. Was this why she hadn't heard from Jackson for an entire month? Did he find himself a hot French woman and forget about her? Was this why he was pretending not to know her?
