The shop was empty; only Carla and her brother were present. Indeed it is not very strange since with the cold winters many prefer to stay warm at home around a fireplace drinking a hot drink than to go out even for the best of books. This day, therefore, exceptionally, there was nothing to do and I could allow myself breaks at any time. Mr. Burns was sitting checking some documents while Michaël and I were facing Carla and Johan. I had learned about what had happened with their father and the consequences on their family and I wondered how they were doing. Indeed, and it is not at all Michaël's fault, their father, unable to find suitable investors for his activity which, according to public opinion, lacked modernism, had finally bankrupted. They lived in a house that their father had been able to keep after the seizure of his property and every day was quite difficult because after going bankrupt the family broke up. Their mother left their father no one knows where she i
Michaël arrived at the premises of his father's central management when he received a princely welcome. Honestly, why were these people making such a big deal out of it? He was walking in the middle of a human hedge and it annoyed him. People who stopped as if he were the master of the world and greeted him with their heads down had a knack for horrifying him, resulting in him royally ignoring them. Did he have to go there? His father likes that stuff, but he's not really into it. He walked the halls with Fabian behind him while his father's private secretary came immediately after the reception to escort him personally. "The president has been meeting since the morning, he will soon be free, allow me, sir, to lead you to the president's private room and return the amenities to you" The woman was polite so Michael didn't want to hurt her. " GOOD " She smiled before leading Michaël to his father's private living room, there was an adjacent door that led directly to his fath
Jeanne was in front of the cold and lifeless body of the one who had been her best friend for less than a month and a half. It was awful, her chest had been butchered and she wondered why such savagery. Peggy was not one to hurt people, she was admittedly naive and a little crazy but she was a good person. Why did she have to die like this? She wanted only one thing, to earn enough money to be able to support her family and live decently. She knew how difficult it was every day. She told her that her father was far too old to continue working in the fields, and that her mother was trying somehow to feed her little brothers and sisters with the meager sums that she sent her and also, what her own cadets managed to bring home. They didn't really have time to study, who would pay? She still wanted her two little brothers to graduate from primary school so she sent more money from her own resources to pay for their schooling. She's in so much pain, she didn't know any more genero
I stayed by Aden's bedside until almost noon when he woke up. I smiled because his face was less pale, a sign that he was feeling better so I decided to apologize because I had to go to work. I was about to sign to warn him of my imminent departure when I received a text message from Michaël. It seems that he has finished his work and is already at the shop. [Mr. Burns tells me you went to visit that boy?] I felt that if Michael had said it to my face, it would have been in a tone full of judgment and remonstrance. Anyway, that's how I feel. [Yes he got sick and I came to see how he is…] [You're not a doctor it seems to me] [Michael?] I didn't understand why he was being so cold, bordering on mean. It was a sick person there, moreover, Aden was very nice to me, he is my friend. [Never mind it seems to me that you have already spent enough time with him come in immediately] I clenched my fists before sighing. Michaël loves me which is why he is like that. Even though I
Jeanne was silent for over an hour as Fabian told her almost everything about his past. There were always facts he didn't dare tell her and for a particular reason. He loved Jeanne more than his own life but he was afraid that if she found out about this particular fact, she would be disgusted with him and want to break up. It kills him to think about that so even if it gives the impression of hiding something certainly important from her, he must not play with fire. So he told her about his admission to the orphanage after the death of his father, and the fact that the living conditions there were not good so they had to go to the streets. He, Sophie, and Carmen. "Did you grow up with Michaël's mother?" » “Yes … we were very close” Fabian lowered his head as Jeanne frowned. "I imagine she's the woman you occasionally refer to with that sad look. You were in love with her, weren't you? » Fabian looked away before pulling himself together. “I forgot her a long time ago…
The next day very early, I was at the airport saying goodbye to my boyfriend. Jeanne was also there with that famous Mr. Tim who had come to bring Jeanne and me back on Fabian's orders. I sighed remembering the last time Michael had to leave like this, I felt so nervous. "Don't worry, babe, there's no one who would dare to hurt you now" I nodded as Michaël and Fabian were leaving, the latter having tenderly kissed my sister who didn't look so sad. Left alone waiting for Tim to pick up the car, I asked her why she looked so cheerful and she smiled at me. "Fabian promised me a priceless gift on his return" I looked at my sister puzzled, she's not the interested type so what's this twisted answer? She is weird. ** Are you now focused on the material? ** “Hm of course not and Fabian knows it. What he promises me must be something related to what we talked about yesterday…well, I fervently hope so. Even if it's rushed I just can't wait any longer you know, I love Fabian like I
The days flew by as the term examinations drew to a close. Soon the end of year holidays and I wondered what I would do during these days. Michaël offered to go to the mountains for a week but I couldn't accept yet since Jeanne also had plans. I sighed before leaving my room. Sister, I feel like we've been drifting further and further apart lately. We indeed have our own lives now, it's not like before when there were only the two of us. Now we have boyfriends, and friends we need to hang out with. I also like that we can have this but she had something special planned for both of us and I don't want to hurt her by preferring to stay with Michaël rather than her. I sighed before leaving my room. Today is the last day of class and I know that tomorrow I will be free. Mr. Burns has decided to close the store for the holidays wanting to enjoy his time with his children and grandchildren. But he is going to organize a party for New Year's Eve and I am of course invited. Mich
Sebastian had followed Jeanne, realizing that she had gone back to this man's agency. He smiled because he knew it was to tell him what she thought of him. He would finally be by her side like he should have been from the beginning, he had missed her so much all these years. He will take all his time to make her happy and give her all the attention she wants. He waited a little while before seeing Jeanne enter a bar. He didn't know if he should go straight to it or if he should wait for her to calm down a bit. He knows the girl, he knows how explosive her temper is and even if she is angry with this guy, she is not going to welcome him with open arms. So he decided not to leave for the moment and to wait until she was a little drunk so as not to push him away. It's indeed cowardly but he wants to be close to her. He waited for some time before finally deciding to enter the bar, he saw her lying on the counter while the bartender looked at her pitifully. She was crying while
