Jane Sampson thought for a moment, then shook her head honestly, "No."
That girl Jillian Carter was glaring fiercely at her James Black. She couldnât stand it anymore.
"Then thatâs it," James Black said. "Her request indeed doesnât follow the rules, and the rules werenât made by you specifically for her, so then, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"Youâre so right!" Jane Sampson felt immediately comforted by James Blackâs words.
Right, she had confronted Jillian Carter, but she wasnât in the wrong.
Jane Sampson felt relieved at this moment, but after some thought, she still made a phone call to James Carter.
After several rings, she heard James Carterâs amused voice from the mobile phone, "Why the sudden call? Are you filming with the film crew at this time? Whatâs up? Are you getting used to King Town?"
"Not yet. There was a small incident this morning, so Iâve now arrived in King Town but havenât entered the film crew to start work yet. King Town is pretty nice. James Black took me to a super delicious hot pot restaurant. Mr. Carter, guess who I ran into at the hot pot restaurant!" Jane Sampson teased James Carter to make a guess.
However, even if given James Carter a hundred guesses, he wouldnât have come up with the answer.
James Carter guessed a few names, but Jane Sampson said they were all wrong. Finally, James Carter conceded, "Just reveal the answer."
"I knew you wouldnât guess it, Mr. Carter! Do you know how coincidental I am? I actually met Mr. Carterâs sister, Jillian Carter, at the hot pot restaurant!" Jane Sampson burst into laughter after saying this.
"Thatâs impossible," James Carter blurted out. "Sheâs still studying abroad and hasnât returned to the country yet."
"What? Really? But I truly ran into her in King Town. Mr. Carterâs sister is named Jillian Carter, right? I saw a photo of Mr. Carterâs sister at your home back then, so the moment I saw her, she looked so familiar. Now I remember, she is Mr. Carterâs sister," Jane Sampson explained. "James Black took me to Martyrsâ Mausoleum just now, and after coming out, I ran into her again at the doorway. She told me sheâs working as a journalist for the Social News Department at a large newspaper agency in King Town."
"Mr. Carter, I even saw her press card. The âJillianâ in her name is âJillianâ like the mountain wind, and âCarterâ has the same three water points and a sunset as the character for âCarterâ in your name," Jane Sampson said. "Is there a mistake in the name?"
James Carter was immediately stunned.
Yes, his sister who was supposed to be studying internationally was named Jillian Carter, and indeed, it was the very characters Jane Sampson mentioned.
James Carter remembered that back when Jane Sampson had visited the Carter family home, he had shown her photos of the family but had not told her his sisterâs name.
"Alright, I got it," James Carter responded. "Iâve got something here. Iâll give you a call back when Iâm free."
"Sure, Mr. Carter, go ahead with your work," Jane Sampson said with a smile as she hung up the phone.
Over there, after ending the call with Jane Sampson, James Carter immediately phoned a friend in King Town and inquired whether there was a female journalist named Jillian Carter.
To his surprise, there was.
James Carter asked his contact to send over the information on this female journalist.
minutes later, James Carterâs email inbox contained the electronic resume of the female journalist named Jillian Carter.
Opening it, the first thing he saw was the ID photo he knew all too well.
No mistake, it was truly the Jillian Carter who was supposed to be studying abroad.
