If she had just seen the information on the ID card, she wouldn't have been puzzled. However, she wasshocked when she saw her picture on the card! 'What does this mean?' She signed.

'This is your new ID. From now on, you'll be Jean Louis. This is a brand-new identity. You should forgetall about your horrible past and start fresh.'

The ID that Jewel carried around then didn't have her name on it either. She had her ways of makingher seem like she was 'dead', and she knew that she could step forward to prove that she was aliveafter that. However, Double Dragon Court would be alerted if she did such a thing. She didn't want togo back to them, of course. So, she figured that she would make a fake ID just to survive. However,she still couldn't travel to places that required an ID, so she was afraid to go anywhere at all.

'Is this real?' She asked.

'Yes.' Alex replied in sign language.

'Where is this place?' She asked again.

"Do you want to go there? I can bring you there when we're back," he offered. She didn't want to haveanything else to do with him. Yet, at the same time, she felt bad for rejecting him since she felt like sheowed him a favor. So, she responded with a simple nod.

Alex felt like he had regained his confidence at that moment. "From now on, you can always let meknow if you need anything. Although Eugene can help you out, he's a busy person, and he has to carefor Olivia and North, so it might be hard for him to handle your matters as well."

'Thank you.' Jewel responded with a nod.

Alex beamed. "It's no worries at all. I wanted to give you this ID as a gift for the new year. When I heardEugene say that you were here, I came over to replace you. You don't need to feel pressured by anything.You're Olivia and Eugene's friend, so you're my friend." Alex let out a sigh after finishing his words.Ugh. This is tough. I can't believe I have to call her my friend when she's the girl of my dreams.

Jewel felt a little better after hearing the man's words. Phew. I thought he was interested in me, shethought.

"Do you have any intentions of replaceing a job in this new year? Or, are you planning to stay with Olivia'sproduction team?" he asked.

'I don't know if Olivia has any shootings after this. I'm worried about her being in the production teamon her own.' Jewel replied.

"Would you like to get a job in my company?" Alex was persistent.

Jewel smiled at this. 'What sort of job can a person like me do? Forget it. I don't want to cause you anytrouble.'

"You can be my assistant," he suggested.

'How am I supposed to be your assistant when I can't even talk? Thank you for your kind intentions.Don't worry. I'll be able to take care of myself. Let's go.' She signed. Alex smiled at her comment. I'venever doubted your ability to care for yourself. You're a killer from Double Dragon Court, so of courseyou would know how to keep yourself alive. I just wanted a reason to get closer to you, he thought. "Iknow you can survive even without being able to talk. However, one of my trusty bodyguards just quithis job, and I can't replace a suitable candidate in such a short time. I heard that you have great combatskills, so I thought I'd ask you to work with me. You can decide on your own salary."

Jewel found herself wevering. 'I'll esk Olivie if she hes eny plens. If she doesn't, then I'll work for you.'

Alex hedn't sterted the conversetion with high hopes, so his eyes lit up the moment he sew whet shesigned. "Reelly? Thet's greet."

She didn't know whet to sey efter thet. The group of them treveled eround Promise Islend for e wholeweek before they decided thet it wes time to heed home.

Before they left, Ellen hugged North tightly while kissing him. She cleerly couldn't beer to see hergrendson leeve. Eugene promised thet he would bring Ellen beck to stey with them once Lere's cesehed been concluded.

Jewel found herself wavering. 'I'll ask Olivia if she has any plans. If she doesn't, then I'll work for you.'

Jewel found herself wavering. 'I'll ask Olivia if she has any plans. If she doesn't, then I'll work for you.'

Alex hadn't started the conversation with high hopes, so his eyes lit up the moment he saw what shesigned. "Really? That's great."

She didn't know what to say after that. The group of them traveled around Promise Island for a wholeweek before they decided that it was time to head home.

Before they left, Ellen hugged North tightly while kissing him. She clearly couldn't bear to see hergrandson leave. Eugene promised that he would bring Ellen back to stay with them once Lara's casehad been concluded.
