When the young man reached the carpet that leads to the entrance, the driver had opened the car door and slowly an old man stepped out of the car.
Jordan was wearing a white shirt that had royal blue colored stripes. He buttoned the dark grey double-breasted blazer that had the checkered design in the blue color. The blue tie perfectly fit behind the blazer while the precious blue stone brooch was adorned on the blazer lapel.
The cameraman didn't miss capturing the images of the antique brooch. It was finely designed like the wings of an eagle on either end and a crown on top with the small diamonds flickered under the sea of lights.
Jordan flashed a soft smile at the young man when he passed the cane from his assistant to him. "Nobody would think of you as the Evans if you are so down to earth." He chuckled before both stepped ahead.
The young man responded to Jordan's comment, "What if I am Evans, people tend to forget we are humans too." A faint smile of dissatisfaction flashed on his face.
The rich know the problems of the rich. They would strive to have a normal life instead of being eye candy of the media or topic of discussion to the gossipers. While people often think the world belongs to the rich, the same people constrict the riches' world to their home and office without giving them the independence to walk and breathe anywhere in their own city.
Jordan sighed, accurately knowing how the young man must be feeling. Jordan was again surprised when the young Evans went aside to let him get some pictures before the reporters urged the young man to stand with Jordan.
The pictures were numerous as the questions. They didn't let Jordan go so easily and let out all the questions, one after the other without letting him speak.
Some asked about the young man next to him, some questioned about the recent accident at Coasta, some about Lisa's girlfriend, and a few about Ruby Jane and whether she will attend the party.
Somebody in the crowd screamed suddenly, "Jaxon... That's Jaxon Evans. 'The Evans' from country S." The reporters held his mobile showing Jaxon's picture to everyone.
The gentleness on Jaxon's face vanished in a second and a professional aloofness was drawn on his handsome face.
Slowly reporters analyzed and gasped, assuming Ruby Jane is Evans from country S. Meanwhile Jordan and Jaxon had left and entered the calmness inside the hotel.
The duo breathed before they smiled in resignation. "Now, I understand why Ruby Jane said technology is better than human memory."
Jaxon chuckled remembering Jennie who he knew as Twyla. He really didn't know Ruby Jane, his new younger sister is Twyla until today. He felt his world was really too small.
---- Two hours earlier ----
The sun was setting when Jaxon Evans came to the city inconspicuously. Milo Wen who had reached the city with Karsen, picked him up from the airport briefing why Lisa couldn't make it.
Milo Wen was driving towards the Manoban mansion as hotels couldn't be safer than the Manoban estate. However, Jaxon wanted to check out the city so he changed the plans, "Then, let's pick them up."
Thus the car went towards the high-speed rail station. Jaxon watched the city which was much more peaceful than his own business city.
Alighting the car, Jaxon was leaning on the car when the couple exited the station, hand in hand and the lady carried a black oriental cat in the other hand which was resting in her arm like a baby.
Milo Wen expected Jaxon to be delighted but the lines of confusion appeared on his forehead.
Jaxon pointed to the lady next to Lisa as he asked, "She... is she, Ruby Jane?"
