"Mr. Simon is here!" Someone suddenly announced it in the crowd.

"Who is that young lady beside him?"

"She looked so beautiful."

"Is she some big shot?"

"I have never seen her before."

"I don’t think I have too."

"Could she be Mr. Simon's daughter?"

"Did you forget that he does not have a child?" This lady is more beautiful than Gladie."

The second lady beside the first one who said the first statement narrowed her eyes. "Thinking about it now, I think you are right," she said.

Gladie raised her head toward the entrance.

She did not really pay attention when she heard that it was Simon. But she was curious about who the lady was. She could hear whatever the ladies beside her were whispering to each other. She did not see the lady’s face because the lady’s back was facing her, but she was looking at the figure. She felt that it was oddly familiar. But she cannot remember exactly where.
