In the cinema, Debbie took Carlos to the self-service machine to get the tickets
through her phone, while Megan went to buy some snacks and drinks.
According to the tickets, Debbie's seat was right between Megan and
Carlos, yet in the theater, Megan took somebody else's seat and sat beside
Carlos.
So now, Carlos sat between the two women.
“That's somebody else's seat,” Debbie reminded Megan.
Megan responded casually, “Nobody else is coming. Uncle Carlos’ assistant
rented the entire theater.”
Debbie was surprised. “How come I didn’t know that?’
“My assistant arranged that when you were in the bathroom,” Carlos explained.
“Fine. I knew I shouldn't have gone to the bathroom. I needed to keep my eyes
on Megan!’ Debbie thought regretfully.
The movie started. It starred Ramona Loftus, a fantastic singer who became an
actress. Her success as an actress proved that she could not only sing but also
act. It was a period piece, and Megan had to stifle a groan. Megan hated those
kinds of movies, where everyone wore robes and even funny headgear, and they
had so many rules about the roles of women and society. Even more than today.
She much preferred the more fantastic ones, with mighty magics and eye-
popping special effects, but she was left with this. It was called “The Heart
Abides™— about two star-crossed lovers. One a prince in exile, the other a palace
servant.
Of course, it was scandalous in the days of the Song dynasty. At least she was
with Carlos. Debbie, of course, was delighted. She had been waiting for this
since it went into production, and she heard that her favorite actress was starring
init.
Looking at the middle-aged woman on the screen, Carlos told Debbie,
“Your idol is Curtis’ sister.”
“Huh? Mr. Loftus’ sister? But they don’t look anything alike. Is it because she is
wearing makeup?”
“Nope. She's his half-sister, so odds are they wouldn't share any family features.
“ Debbie remembered that Jared and Damon were half-brothers. “It seems that
there are a lot of half-siblings in rich families, * she mused.
She popped a chip into her mouth and asked, “So Damon's dad married
Jared's mom, but only after Damon’s mom had passed away. What about Mr.
Loftus’ dad?”
Last time when she and Jared were at the Loftus family's cruiser party, they had
seen very few Loftus family members.
“The Loftus family is complicated. Outsiders know little about it.
