“Anna, and this is…?” Frank turned to Steven.


    “Oh, he’s my cousin,” Be lied.


    These park rangers spent most of their time in the woods, not pay much attention to the bustle outside.


    They had no idea that they we with Be Thompson, thetest buzz in Savrowtely.


    “Your family is blessed with good looks, Ms. Brown. Your cousin is handsome,” Xavierplimented


    sincerely.


    Steven blushed with glee.


    Even if he could not date Be, he was pleased to just be her cousin.


    “Anna, the weather has been unpredictabletely. We could be expecting a storm.


    “1


    Frank looked at her worriedly. “I’m happy to see you today, but you don’t have to hike.”


    “I’m alright. Don’t forget that I’m an honorable member of the park rangers. They call me the Goddess


    of the Mountains.” Be patted her chest with pride.


    “Hahaha… We are graced by the presence of two major figures today. How lucky,” Frank said with a


    chuckle.


    Be raised a brow. “Huh? Who can top me?”


    “Justin Salvador, president of the Salvador Corporation,” Xavier interrupted.


    ?


    Be and Steven blurted, “Who?”


    “Justin Salvador, president of the Salvador Corporation. Isn’t that a pleasant surprise?”


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Xavier’s eyes beamed as he appreciated Justin’s aplishme learned who he was two years ago,


    but I wouldn’t be able to t was a privileged president by his climbing technique and skilled hiking. He


    hiked with Frank the year before and saved two hikers trapped in the rainstorm. He even rescued them


    with his own chopper. Many dubbed him the God of the Mountains.”


    “There is no room for two gods.


    Be pressed her lips tightly together as the past brought back a lot of emotions. She murmured, “I am


    the Goddess of the Mountain, while he’s the ghost of the past.”


    “What did you say, Anna?” Frank asked.


    “Huh? I said Mr. Salvador is such a helpful, nice guy.” Be smiled pretentiously and gave a thumbs up.


    “Yeah, Mr. Salvador is a good guy. He makes time every year to hike along the mountain and donates


    to the National Forest Park.’


    Frank said with a relieved smile, “I have been wanting to introduce you two. You have contributed a lot


    to Mount Jaglee, and you both are hiking enthusiasts. You will have a lot inmon to talk about.


    Be was not having it. “I-I don’t think that’s necessary. I.have social anxiety.”


    “7


    ?


    In the end, Be`sent Steven away and joined Frank and Xavier to walk to the base of Mount Jaglee.


    Be’s mind was elsewhere throughout the journey.


    She was brought back to thirteen years ago, when Justin saved from the abyss.


    Like her, he had been returning to the ce over the years.


    Curiously, they would hike the mountain, handle rescues, and donate every year. Yet, they never ran


    into each other.


    Be clutched her backpack and moved ahead with heavy footsteps and her head down.


    She curled her lips wryly.


    Sure enough, she and Justin were never meant to be.


    Apart from the fateful encounter thirteen years ago, Be was the one


    who forced things to happen between them.


    The group arrived at the foot of the mountain.


    A few park rangers rushed over.


    “Frank! We received an S.O.S. that the hikers went missing in the mountains. Two of them have made


    their way back to the camp base, but one is still trapped up there. We areunching a rescue now.
