“ What are you trying to say, doctor?” Alexandrine asked in worry to the doctor who retorted in response, “ If in the next seventy-two hours, the patient doesn’t awaken, then, the patient’s lifeline will be at risk.”Having taken conscience of the situation, Alexandrine asked, “ Would it be possible to see him?” The doctor looked at her and said, “ Not right now. He’ll be moved to a normal ward and then, you can see him.”“ Alright!” The doctor walked away and Alexandrine was even more worried about Johnson than before he was found.Thinking of informing his family members, she phoned the mansion and got through to his grandmother who she informed of the dire situation her grandson was currently in. Rushing to the hospital, she reached the hospital an hour later and when she came in contact with Alexandrine, the two shared a mutual hug, and as they separated from each other after a while, his grandmother asked, “ How is he? What did the doctor say?”Looking at Johnson’s grandmother, A
Several days before the cruise party, at the M company, a board meeting was held with the major shareholders and executives.“ What are your ideas for the next event?” Johnson asked for everyone’s opinions as to what events should be held at the board meeting which was held in the conference room.As the shareholders and executives talked it out among themselves, they came up with a great idea that enchanted Johnson greatly, “ What about a design context?” One executive brought to the table. “ This is a great opportunity for us to put in something great for once by hosting our very own design competition.” The executive added to which he said in addition, “ Not only will it profit the company, but we’ll be making lots of profits as well. What do you think, President?”The executive was very enthusiastic about the idea he had just brought up before Johnson and was expecting a positive reaction from the latter. Pondering on the idea his executive had brought up, Johnson slightly grinned
As the executive was done explaining things to Alexandrine as they genuinely occurred, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Having been angry at Johnson for locking her inside the villa grounds, she hadn’t been keeping much with the news as she should have been which would explain why she wasn’t aware of the design context incident.Now, all the things that occurred recently made much sense to her, among which Johnson’s attempt to bankrupt Nathaniel’s company. As of right now, things have made a lot more sense to her than it has ever been. Things became crystal clear with nothing left unturned.“ As of right now, we’re facing a dire financial crisis, adding that to the case at hand, things have taken a turn for the worst.” The executive was helpless as to how to continue the debate. Alexandrine could see just by his expression just how much the company’s decline was affecting him.Trying to say a few reassuring words, she muttered confidently, “ Thanks for informing me of the situation at t
“ Why in the world did you slap me just now?” Nathaniel asked the latter in denial and that infuriated Alexandrine even more than she was before showing up at his doorstep. “ Really now, Nathaniel? Do you not know the reason for my presence?”The anger Alexandrine had at that time only intensified as she asked along the lines, “ How long are you going to play dumb for?” Shouting even further at the end of her statement, Nathaniel finally made some kind of a response.“ Wow, Alexandrine, you’re even more beautiful when you’re angry. I love it!” He smirked in sarcasm. Alexandrine was furious at his audacity. Judging by the expression she was currently making, he uttered, “ Sorry for making fun of you earlier. It wasn’t my intention, believe it or not.” Adding further to his claim, he said, “ It’s just that I haven’t had the chance to contemplate you in so long that I wanted to take advantage of it for a slightly bit longer. Tell me you’re not angry at me or I’m afraid I’ll be tremendous
Alexandrine walked inside the villa right after settling things with Tina. Banging against the door, she subconsciously wondered, “ Those two are sick in the head. They’re both crazy and need immediate treatment.”“ My lady, are you alright?” One of the housemaids asked her tenderly. “ Yes, I’m fine, Louise.” She responded as she harbored a lightheaded grin to her at the same time. Louise looked at her, not seeming all that convinced by her explanation, “ Are you sure you’re alright, my lady?”Louise’s eyes were reflecting tenderness and care. At that moment, Alexandrine realized how much the house staff cared deeply for her, a care she had never once spotted due to going through so many hardships in the past. “ Why wouldn’t I be?” She asked Louise who said, “ Ms. Tina came here looking for you and she was furious when we refused to let her in.” Pausing for an instant, she continued, “ And then, you came looking upset and out of it, so I thought—---------” Alexandrine stopped her befo
“ What should I wear to the hospital?” Alexandrine couldn’t quite decide on what to wear to the hospital. She had her clothes scattered across the room, unable to make a decision.“ My lady, what are you doing?” Two of the housemaids entered her room after knocking beforehand. The two housemaids were Laura and Louise. Upon seeing them, Alexandrine was somewhat happy. “ Why does the room look like that?” Laura commented, followed by Louise, “ And all these clothes? Would you happen to be going somewhere, my lady?”Alexandrine stopped searching for dresses for a moment and announced to the housemaids, “ Johnson regained consciousness not so long ago.” She muttered to which the housemaids overjoyed retorted, “ Master Santos finally came around; That’s great news, isn’t it, my lady?”As soon as the housemaids asked, they noticed her stiff expression and immediately asked, “ My lady, is it just me, or don’t you look happy with the news?” Laura was the first to forward her concern to Alexan
“ What is Johnson suddenly talking about?” Alexandrine subconsciously wondered as she looked pensive. “ The way he’s speaking isn’t like him. Could this be related to the accident that occurred at the cruise party several days back?”“ Don’t concern yourself with me and take the kids along with you!” “ The sooner you leave, the better.”While he was uttering all of that, Johnson didn’t look Alexandrine’s way even once. After a moment of silence, Alexandrine uttered in return, “ Why don’t you dare look at men when you’re speaking to me?” Johnson didn’t react, giving way to her to continue, “ Normally, you would look at me when spewing your venom, so why are you avoiding it?”Johnson wasn’t ready to face Alexandrine’s interminable questions. “ Do you remember that I asked you numerous times to let me go, but you wouldn’t cease my request, so why now, all of a sudden, you’re willing to let me go?” Alexandrine was adamant about getting answers from Johnson and so she kept pushing the matt
“ You wouldn’t have abandoned me in this situation.” She paused before adding, “ I’m doing what’s best for all.”At the sound of her last statement, Johnson let go of her, and looking apologetically at her, he muttered pretty sadly, “ Unfortunately, I didn’t do the same for you when you needed it. I did not take your side and let you suffer in silence all the times you had been slandered. I’m so sorry, Alexandrine. Even if I were to apologize all my life, it still wouldn’t be enough to compensate for all the pain and agony I’ve put you through over the years.”…Alexandrine wanted to mutter to him that it was okay and that she understood, but had she done that, that would have been an understatement. Although she knew the truth about Nathaniel and everything in between, that didn’t change the fact that she was deceived by all that she cared about. Looking into his eyes, she muttered, “ Let’s not bring up the past anymore because it stings!”…“ I’ll be on my way now. I just came to ch
