While all the commotion was happening, Jake's half-brother, Jeb Lewis, entered the room as the hall doors opened, preventing the fight from escalating.
Jeb was a tall, good-looking man who exuded the recklessness of an A-list star. He was accustomed to getting anything he asked for. He recently returned from filming a film in Nation C that will be nominated for best actor.
As soon as Jeb walked into the room, everyone's attention focused on him. Those who knew him looked at him with admiration as he emanated a royal assurance.
But even with all the attention, there was only one person on his mind: Emily Moore. The only person who could melt his frigid heart was her.
The crowd murmured something under their breath as Jeb approached Emily, but he was unfazed and stared at her with unrelenting attention.
"Emily," he smiled confidently to meet her.
"It feels like an eternity since we've last met."
