Chapter 1875: A Sense of Foreboding
"Mr. Marsh, please have a seat," Elisa said as she snapped back to reality. She quickly handed him a bottle of juice, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she explained, "It's all we have at home, the kettle broke this morning."
Ivan accepted the bottle with a simple "Thank you," and drank straight from it, sitting casually on the couch. Today, he was just an ordinary person inquiring about Summer's past, with no official identity.
Elisa was struck by Ivan's down-to-earth demeanor, so different from the legendary figure in the business world at their company. Sitting across from him, the young girl felt a bit reserved, as if everything was surreal.
"I heard from Fiona that you and Summer were very close in senior year, so I came to ask for some information about her," Ivan said. "Could you please think carefully? I... I want to know about her."
A vision of the girl appeared in Elisa's mind. "Just a moment," she said before getting up and heading to the bedroom.
Ivan waited, unsure of what she was up to. Soon enough, Elisa returned with a bag and sat across from him, laying out polaroid pictures, albums, yearbooks, and letters on the coffee table. "Take a look," she said.
Ivan's slender fingers picked up the polaroids, one of which showed Elisa, recognizable even after many years. Was the other girl Summer?
Her most striking feature was her waist-length jet-black hair, beautiful big eyes, and a sweet smile. In an era without beauty filters, she was undeniably beautiful.
"We were classmates in senior year, and she always had a small vase on her desk, with fresh flowers in it. She was a slow-paced person, and later I found out her family owned a flower shop." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Why did you lose touch if you were so close?" Ivan asked, flipping through the yearbook.
"I don't know," Elisa said, still puzzled. "We had planned to have dinner after the college entrance exams, but her phone suddenly turned off that day. I waited until evening, but she never showed up, and we lost touch from then on."
"Do you know where her family's flower shop is located?" Ivan inquired.
The girl shook her head with regret, "I had planned to visit her shop several times, but senior year was too busy, and I never found the time. We had agreed to go after graduation, but..."
Ivan noticed that Summer's page in the yearbook did not include a home address, but every other detail like her zodiac sign and blood type was filled in.
"If you have any information about her, please let me know," Elisa said with a hint of sadness in her voice. "I miss her." After all these years, Summer had always been on her mind.
Not knowing if she was alive or not, Elisa had a sense of foreboding. How could a person disappear so completely, breaking a dinner date they had planned? After knowing each other for so long, Summer had always been punctual.
"Okay," Ivan nodded, agreeing. "If you hear anything about her, please let me know."
He closed the yearbook, took a sip of juice, and asked, "Do you know about her romantic life? She had a boyfriend before she transferred, but it seems they broke up in senior year. Do you know why they broke up?"
Elisa vividly remembered those days and answered, "She was going through a tough time, often too upset to eat properly. I later found out she had broken up with her first love."
