“ You—----, how dare you treat me like this? Release me immediately!” Tina screamed in pain. Alexandrine looked amused at the situation she was currently in and looked at her with a smug expression.“ Why are you looking at me like that?” Tina kept spreading her venom at Alexandrine and said, still smiling at her, “ Why are you screaming like that in my house?” Tina cringed when she heard her statement and said almost immediately, “ What did you just say? Did you imply just now that it was your house?”Alexandrine laughed at her question as she found it quite amusing. “ Tina, why are you so hilarious today, of all days?” “ You’re asking the stupidest questions today. Have you always been like that, or am I just finding out now?”Tina reacted even more strongly to her assertions. “ How dare you call me stupid and whatnot?” “ Just because Johnson took pity on you and decided to take you back, don’t you think you’re better than me?” Alexandrine smirked at her as her last sentence ended a
“ Alexandrine, what happened to you?” Johnson tried to wake her up by spilling water over her eyes, but nothing occurred. She remained unconscious and wouldn’t open her eyes. Concerned over her state, he picked her up and brought her to the room.Tina, having followed them, kept spreading her venom to Alexandrine although she was unconscious. “ What do you even find in her? What’s so special about her?” She asked Johnson who looked her way and said lovingly, “ She doesn’t have a wicked heart like you and treasures her relationships, unlike you.”Feeling quite offended by Johnson’s words, Tina provoked him by saying, “ Johnson, stop being so delusional! Alexandrine Claire isn’t as innocent and pure as you think. She wouldn’t have left you for that hot guy, Nathaniel Frost and she wouldn’t have left you all these years ago if she truly treasured her relationships as you said she does.”Being enraged at what Tina had just speculated about Alexandrine, “ Need I remind you thanks to whom m
“ Johnson, I cannot breathe. Could you please let go?” Out of breath, Alexandrine complained to Johnson, and realizing they had been hugging for quite some time, he released her, and looking at her with brightening eyes, he asked, “ Could I ask you something, Alexandrine?”“ Yes, what is it?” Alexandrine wondered before the question came what question Johnson could have for her. “ Why did you faint earlier?” Johnson forwarded the question to her but for some strange reason, she was unable to comprehend its meaning.“ What’s wrong, Alexandrine? Why are you staring at me like that?” Alexandrine looked as if she was staring into space. Johnson wanted to understand why she was being like that so when he confronted her, she muttered in response, “ I can’t quite remember the details but when I saw Tina’s necklace earlier, it looked kind of familiar to me. It looked as if I had seen it somewhere before. I cannot remember anything else past that, I’m sorry.”Her head started throbbing for som
“ I know you have a hard time believing my claims, given the thought that he had done so much for you, but believe me when I say he approached you with a purpose in mind.” Johnson’s words gave an end to Alexandrine’s reflections and as she stared at him confusingly, Johnson muttered, “ We shall be on our way now or we might get there late.”Johnson started the engine and drove off the villa while Alexandrine looked at the flier of the invitation to pass the time. According to what the flier implied, the cruise party was hosted by a wealthy British businessman. After reading the note, Alexandrine subconsciously wondered, “ As I have no choice but to attend this cruise party anyway, I hope I'll get to enjoy myself at least.”As her reflections ended, Johnson thought about how the atmosphere inside the car was so calm and thought of striking up a conversation. “ You are awfully quiet, Alexandrine. Are you thinking about something?” Alexandrine glanced toward him and asked, “ What do you
“ Alexandrine, come back here! I haven’t yet done talking to you.” Nathaniel chased Alexandrine around like a maniac. Alexandrine ran as fast as she could to escape from Nathaniel.As she continued running, she stumbled upon a path leading to a hallway and took it straight away. " I should be safe here." She subconsciously muttered as she hid somewhere in that location.Nathaniel, on the other hand, has lost her track. “ Where did she run off to?” Nathan ran to the opposite location from where Alexandrine had hidden.Alone, Alexandrine let her thoughts wander around in the breeze. “ How can someone change so drastically? Nathaniel, who used to be so sweet, has turned into a totally different person, and Johnson, who used to be a jerk, is becoming somewhat human. Is this what people call reverse psychology?” Alexandrine thought of the two various memories of her life. She first thought of Johnson’s unreasonable behavior in the past and how his indifference toward her led to her misery
Alexandrine rushed to the ship and as she was about to jump in there, the ship’s captain stopped her and pushed her back. “ What were you trying to do here?” The ship’s captain interrogated Alexandrine on her intentions and she responded in a state of panic, “ I have to save him, can’t you understand that much? I have to save Johnson.”Understanding the situation from a better angle, the ship’s captain tapped on Alexandrine’s shoulder and muttered, “ You shouldn’t worry, Miss. Our rescue operation team will certainly find Mr. Johnson Santos and return him to you safe and sound.” Alexandrine looked into the eyes of the ship’s captain and felt sincerity from him.“ Do you promise to find him?” Alexandrine asked with hope in her eyes and the ship’s captain responded in earnest, “ Yes, you have my word, Miss. I promise that we’ll find him and won’t let anything happen to him.” He stopped for an instant before continuing and said, “ For this rescue operation to be a success though, we’ll n
“ 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
