Samantha turned around, raised her hand again, and rubbed Billy's head gently. "See you, Billy. I'll visit you again some time."
Billy still did not react. It was as if the moment he raised his gaze and looked up at her was nothing more than an illusion.

During the next three days, Samantha did not go anywhere and merely stayed at home with Old Madam Barker. She never even set foot outside the house.
During that time, Walter called her to inform her that she could start work at Lychee TV at any time since he had already notified the human resources department.
He probably felt that she was content with what she had and decided to ask in passing, "Will you be coming over to the awards party?"
