Jasper trailed behind her, pestering, “Miranda, between Elian and Sebastian, who are you closer to? Do you fancy Elian’s style, or Sebastian’s?”
Miranda caught on quickly this guy was here for the gossip, plain and simple.
I’m pretty close with both of them. If there’s anything you want to know, just ask me. Seriously, I’m not bragging, there’s nothing I don’t know of.”
Miranda halted, making Jasper, who was lost in his own boasting, almost bump into her.
“You know everything?” she asked with a hint of curiosity.
Jasper, who had been feeling a bit ignored, suddenly felt important. His excitement was palpable.
“Of course! Whatever you want to know, just ask!*
Miranda pondered for a moment before asking. “Do you happen to know any places that specifically deal in auctions or trading of gemstones?”
She had planned to ask William or Marion later, but since Jasper was offering, she thought she might as well ask now.
Jasper was taken aback. He had assumed Miranda wanted the scoop on Elian or Sebastian. Before meeting her, he’d thought she was some sort of love expert, playing these two guys against each other.
But seeing her in person, it was clear she was oblivious to the whole situation. She didn’t seem interested in either of them.

Lysander didn’t look embarrassed at being called out, just a bit frosty. “What’s it to you?”
Orion curled his lips upwards. “I know ever since that reality show wrapped up, things have been different for you regarding her.”
Despite their constant bickering and the times Miranda had verbally lashed him, the truth was, from the moment the show ended, Lysander had changed.
Orion, being his twin, could sense the shift in Lysander’s feelings quite clearly. Lysander didn’t deny it. Instead, he walked straight to the car.
Even though Orion was technically enrolled in a music school abroad, he spent most of his time locally and also took classes at Zephra University. With the backing of their wealthy family, juggling two universities wasn’t an issue.
Their courses and majors were different, so the brothers rarely went home together. This was a rare occasion.
Once in the car, Lysander remained silent.
“Lysander, I suddenly feel if only that thing from two years ago never happened.”
Lysander’s expression shifted subtly.
“If it hadn’t happened, she’d forgive us, right?”
Orion frowned, leaving the question unanswered. After a long pause, he finally said, There’s no point in

wishing for that.”
