“ 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
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
