Attempted Murder?Alexandrine was devastated at what had just occurred. She couldn't believe how the wedding show had turned into slandering accusations on her person that she had plagiarized her own designs. Who was Violet Sanders and why did she frame her? More importantly, what did Doriane think of all of this?Thinking Doriane would certainly fire her now that the investors and collaborators had nullified the contract, she rushed to her office to justify herself before the latter made some baseless assumptions about her character." Boss, may I come in?" She knocked on Doriane's office but no response was coming out. Alexandrine began to panic, but when she saw her coming from the opposite side, she gave out a faint grin.“ Alexandrine, what are you doing standing outside like this?” Doriane asked. “ Why didn’t you come in?” Alexandrine fixed her but did not see a glimpse of anger or disappointment on Doriane’s face. The only thing she saw was care and concern for her which wasn’t
“ What is Johnson doing here?” Alexandrine subconsciously wondered. “ Is he here for me?” Alexandrine became hopeful upon having that thought cross her mind.“ Officer Frost, would you please come with us for a moment?” Two police officers came looking for Nathaniel for assistance on the current case. Looking at Alexandrine lovingly, he muttered, “ I’ll be right back. It won’t take long, I promise.”“ Go tend to your work and don’t worry about me!” Alexandrine nodded, giving Nathaniel a slight grin which angered Johnson even more.Delighted that Alexandrine had grinned at him, he walked out of the ward happily. He didn’t spot Johnson as the latter had hidden quickly.Once Nathaniel was gone for good, Johnson walked into the ward. Seeing him, Alexandrine was happy, mistakenly thinking he had come to see her because he cared and was worried about her all the same. She went to him and held his hand firmly asking, “ Johnson, why are you here?”Johnson kept silent without a word. Alexandri
Alexandrine went inside Violet’s ward to seek an explanation from her but upon seeing her, she became fearful and started panicking.“ Get out! Get out!” She shouted as soon as she spotted her inside the ward. Alexandrine didn’t even have time to ask her for an explanation that she was asked to leave the ward by the doctors as Violet needed rest and tranquility.Outside, she met up with Nathaniel who asked her, “ So, how did it go? Did she reveal anything?” Alexandrine expressed her answer by nodding which he understood as not bearing any fruit.Nathaniel scoffed and muttered, “ Violet Sanders keeps insisting you’re the one who attempted to kill her in the car accident.” Alexandrine asked Nathaniel, “ What would my motive be in her scenario, huh?”Nathaniel’s response to that question was, “ To cover the plagiarism and because she went against you and denounced you for plagiarizing her designs.”“ What absurdity is this?” She was angry that someone she didn’t know and never heard of u
Alexandrine cried throughout the night that when she woke up in the morning, her eyes were puffy from crying so much. Her tears had tried and yet, her heart still stunk from the pain. " Enough, Alexandrine! Enough! You can't keep suffering for that man who doesn’t give a damn about you or your feelings." She muttered as she stood up and headed to the washroom.Moments later, after taking a shower and clothing herself, she was about to make breakfast when her Bell rang." I'm coming!" Opening the door, Nathaniel was standing there with a tray. Alexandrine guessed by the tray he had brought breakfast for her, so she let him in." Were you planning on making breakfast?" She nodded in response and he muttered, " Then, I came just on time, didn't I?"He put the tray on the table and asked her, " How do you feel now, Miss?" He was immensely worried for her due to the bad experience she spent in prison for something unrelated to her.Alexandrine responded, " I'll be okay, Nathaniel, I'll be
Getting back to a couple of minutes earlier, Alexandrine joined back with Nathaniel at the table. Tina was there eyeing us." Are you okay now?" Nathaniel asked out of concern for her. Alexandrine nodded and muttered in response, " Yes, I must have eaten something inedible, but I'm fine now."" I'm glad to know you're okay." Nathaniel expressed his deepest emotions and Tina intervened at that time and asked, " Where did the two of you meet?"Alexandrine looked at her in annoyance. Why did she want to know all that? What was her problem? She wanted to ask her those questions but she held it in. Instead, she muttered to satisfy her curiosity, " We met at the police station where Nathaniel works at. It was thanks to your lover that our fateful encounter was possible. Do you remember the accident you were in?"Remembering the accident, Tina became irked and frustrated. To get back at Alexandrine for making her remember something unpleasant like her car accident, she suddenly muttered, " N
Alexandrine and Johnson arrived at his residence. " I'll go into the kitchen and make something for you to eat." She muttered and as she was about to head into the kitchen, Johnson stopped her and asked, " May I come too?"" What would you be doing in the kitchen?" She asked in confusion. For the time they've been together, Johnson had never stepped into the kitchen. What did he want to do in the kitchen? Was what Alexandrine was wondering as she stared at him.Johnson responded before she had the time to ask him, " I'd like to see you cook as I don't know whether I'll get to have this opportunity again." He grinned slightly.Alexandrine was conflicted by his words and feelings. The person she had in front of her wasn't the husband she once knew. There was something about him that was different but she couldn't quite get nor understand what it was that was different about him." What do you say, Alexandrine?" He asked kindly. " Will you let me go into the kitchen with you and admire y
Upon arriving at her apartment, she tried to forget about the mistake she made last night and decided to pour her heart into her work in preparation for the upcoming fashion show in Paris in which she was to be the lead designer." How is the work coming along, Alexandrine?" Doriane came to inquire about the progression of the designs she was drawing. Ever since the announcement of the fashion show in Paris, Alexandrine has been working her butts off by drawing design after design into her notebook and Doriane has been noticing her efforts alongside the whole team.To Doriane's question, she answered, " It's going well but I don't yet have the appropriate designs for the competition." Doriane grinned slightly and muttered, " Why don't you stop here for today and accompany me somewhere?"Confused, Alexandrine asked, " Where are you taking me?" Doriane didn't utter anything more and simply dragged her along with her.Alexandrine was stunned when Doriane took her to her house. " Why have
In the city, Nathaniel went to discuss something with his superior in his office. His superior had a very imposing stature and was a strict man." What may I do for you, Officer Frost?" His superior asked him and he responded in kind. " I'm here to ask you for a favor, sir."The superior looked at him very suspiciously and asked him straight away. " A favor? What kind of favor?"Nathaniel took deep breaths and answered, " I'd like to take some days off, Sir."Nathaniel's response shocked his superior. Never once before had he taken days off ever since the day he joined the police division. " You've never taken days off in the past, so why now?"Nathaniel didn't answer the question and then the superior asked another question that would certainly get him an answer. " These days off you're asking for, are they due to a girl?"Although he didn't answer the question this time around as well, he slightly blushed at the mention of a girl and the superior quickly caught on to the situation.
