Sarah Utah was startled by Gina Lopez's excited reaction and took a step back, stammering, "Mr. Lopez, I..."
"You... You must have seen James. Quick, tell me, where is he now?" Gina Lopez stood up abruptly, walked quickly around the table, and tightly grabbed Sarah's arm.
"Mr. Lopez... I... I..." Sarah was so anxious that her eyes were beginning to water. John Brown had strictly told her never to let Gina know if she saw him, but seeing how worried Gina was about James left Sarah in a very difficult position.
"Sarah, you have to tell me. What exactly is he doing? I'm really worried." Gina held Sarah's arm, her face filled with urgency.
Sarah's face twisted in distress as she said, "Big Brother Brown... he told me not to say anything."
"So you really did see him!" Gina almost shouted in excitement, took a deep breath, then softened her expression into a warm smile. Guiding Sarah to the sofa, she held her hand and said, "Sarah, do you honestly not want me to be with James?"
