Stephen accompanied Sofia to return to her apartment. Claire and Clark were left at their table. But, seeing the vacant seats next to them, James and his friends went to join the two.
"Yo! James, your younger brother is here!" one of James' friends was the first to speak.
"Mmn," James gave a nod to Clark and Claire before he proceed to take a seat on the opposite chair. "Mom and dad should be here. Maybe after lunch. They wouldn't miss the marriage of the Lee family," he added after not hearing any response from his young brother. But his eyes lingered for a while on Claire, as if carefully examining her.
In terms of outfit and appearance, Claire looked completely decent. Her makeup was still on her face and the dress that she wore looked sophisticated.
