“Hey, Jocie isn’t that Anna?” Hope said pointing at a lady over at the accessories shop.
“Yeah. Aren’t she with the guys?” Jocie replied and held on Hope’s hand and walked towards Anna.
Anna Jean Santiago was NSYNC manager.
“ANNA.” Jocie shouted.
“Hi girls!” She smiled happily.
“Why are you doing here? Aren’t you with the guys?” Hope asked curiously.
“Oh, I am here to buy something for my sister. And for Lance’s too.” She said.
“Oh Rebecca’s birthday is coming soon too.” Jocie said, “So how old is she this year?”
“18.” Anna smiled, “But still like a little baby.”
“Oh come on, with a sister like you, I also want to be a baby sister.” Hope laughed.
“Yeah. How I wished I have a sister too. Anyway, aren’t you suppose to have a meeting with the guys?” Jocie asked.
“Well, something happen.”
“WHAT HAPPEN?” Hope interrupted before Anna could finish her sentence.
“Well, you guys are meeting them later right,” She asked and then continued after they nodded their head, “It’s something relating to their personal commitment and didn’t JC or Lance told you anything?” Anna looked at Jocie.
“Nope. But I know that Josh is feeling really moody these few weeks. And why should Lance told me everything, we are just friends.” Jocie blushed.
“Oh come on, everyone know you and Lance like each other a lot but both of you kept denying.” Hope laughed loudly.
“HOPE.” Jocie screamed at her.
“Anyway, I am sure the guys will talk to you about it later.” Anna said and walked towards the cashier to pay for the bracelet she chosen for Rebecca.
“Are you joining us too?” Hope asked.
“I don’t think so. I need to get back to office later to settle some urgent stuffs.” Anna said and looked at them, “I need to go now. I’m going over to the other side to look for Lance’s present.”
“Okay bye.” Both of them said.
Jocie and Hope walked out of the accessories shop right after Anna left.
“So what does Anna mean by personal commitment?” Hope asked.
“I don’t know. But it sound so serious.” She said and looked around, “Hey! Let’s go in there. Well let’s see whether we can anything from that shop.”
“Okay.” Hope replied back and looked at her watch, “Jocie, it’s 3pm, we have to get the present fast.”
“Yeah.” Jocie said and walked into the shop.
Joey held on to Amanda’s hands and walked into an Italian Restaurant.
Amanda Megan Herron, 24 years old was tall at the height of 5'8". She had short dark brown hair.
“Good evening Mr Fatone, may I know how many people?” A waitress asked.
Joey knew that he and Amanda were the first to reach there so without any hesitation he said, “Table for 8.” He smiled.
The waitress looked around and saw a table right at the end of the restaurant and then she replied back, “Mr Fatone, please follow me this way.”
Joey and Amanda walked behind the waitress and they realized that some of the people recognized him. Joey waved and smiled to them like he always does.
They reached the table and sat down. The waitress placed two menus in front of them.
Joey looked at Amanda, “How about getting a drink first?” he asked.
Amanda looked through the beverages and she looked up, “Pepsi please.”
Joey looked at the waitress and added, “Make it two.”
The waitress nodded her head and walked away.
“Joey.” Amanda paused, “So you are going to tell the guys about our intention to move to Paris tonight, right?”
Joey looked right into her eyes. He held her hands tightly and said, “Yes, I’m going to say it out today.”
“Okay, but will the guys blame me?” Amanda was concerned.
“I haven’t been telling you this but even if we are not going to move to Paris, NSYNC might still split.” Joey sighed before he continued, “Recently, Justin had been saying that Veronica wanted him to leave the group to move to solo singing. And you know about Lance’s company, well he wanted to spend more time on recruiting new singers. And Chris is always saying that he is too old to be in a “boyband”. Well I guess, JC is the only one who still wanted this group to be together."
“Oh no, I didn’t know so much things has happen.” Amanda said.
