Before leaving the house, she remembers to put on the new black LV she specially chose, but forgets to check the weather forecast."I don't have any ideas. Andrew doesn't say much. We can ask him about it if we already tried the food here" Jane told Marisa with a smile tugging at her lips "I hope this makes for an interesting little story—"Jane felt cold splashes of water thrown at her and immediately closed her eyes. She stopped dead in her tracks. Her entire right side was damp. Her mouth wide open as she gasped. She just remember the good statements when observe how you spend your time. No currency can replace the time you have spent. Take a moment to embrace that precious moment when you will find your destiny in that moment... destiny huh?!"Oh Lord!" Marisa said while looking at her boss. For a few seconds Marisa didn't know what to say or do. Jane slowly opened her eyes and looked at the direction where the water was coming from.A middle- aged, brown-haired man with a bit of
Jane is not easily saddened by what she sees. It is true that life has its tribulations. But, one thing always worked out for her with worries ending where faith begins because sometimes he doesn't know how much something means until it's gone "—Is this the design he made?!" Marisa covered her mouth while staring at the clothes again "and I haven't seen this at all launching!!" Marisa announced in a lowered voice looking at her boss with challenge, Jane was slightly amused by her secretary's suggestion, but this wasn't the right time and she didn't want to add to the issue between them so she just shook her head just as someone was knocking on their door."Ma’am, Mr. Pinault would like to see you now," a woman said with a smile, adding proudly "You look great, by the way." she mumbled as she admired Jane, forgetting about Marisa who was facing her who the one opened the door“Thank you Louisa,” she replied with a mocking smile as she read the name tag on her chest “I will never forget
Every morning has a unique story. There's always some seed of possibility waiting to sprout maybe it's true she gets up very early, when she doesn't like to miss the beautiful morning light but it might be the light of day "—16 years to be exact" Jane said trying to sound cheerful but she failed because of the sadness she felt in his absence. "And it's amazing that we're the same… I mean, we're not that young anymore…" Jane mentioned trying to smile, though her face reflected nothing but astonishment."I'm sorry but I still can't recall all of my past memories but it's amazing how you don't reflect the passage of time..." added Gary, looking straight into her eyes with honestyAnd there she blushed as she nodded, looking at the look on his face and his feature hair. It had been so many days and so many things, good and bad, but he was still the only one who managed to make her blush like that. She had forced herself to not remember the years with his absence because it hurt her so muc
"—Goodbye sweetheart and I love you too" Jane hung up the phone with a smile plastered on her face. Lily was the only person who managed to get that smile even after only a few minutes of calling. She loved her more than anything in her life and was very happy to have her in her lifeBut Jane's smile disappeared as she stared at Gary who was still with a deep frown lost in his own thoughts. But when a few minutes she observe, what is this? was there something that surprised him.The treasure of life is filled with thousands of moments, and every moment is priceless. He, as a human being, is lucky to have a conscious mind. It led him to believe that he should spend our lives doing something constructive "—Hey" she muttered as soon as he was blink his eyes and seemed a bit uneasy now that he could see her face."Hey" It was all he could respond to as he jolt from his thoughts, even though he was trying so hard to keep his act together. "You've done." He remembered the polite gesture, th
-0-0—FlashbackLe Meridien. Sept. 20th, 2006Despair has driven Jane to the end of France for a vacation, huh vacation! she just wants to take a break, because lately everything at her lectures is boring, you know the longer you are there the more the longer semester ends, everything has to be finished quickly even though final exams and other assignments are piling up... she just wants to find peace!.The same despair made her hands tremble and her heart beat fast as she gazed at the beautiful scenery explore the amazing view of the Mediterranean Sea, opening and closing her eyes, she breathed in the fresh air on the Bar floor of the Le Meridien hotel.Jane father knew she was on vacation and Jane didn't want to tell him where, even if she didn't tell her father, himself could figure quickly, but her father wasn't angry or upset, or didn't even approve, he knew exactly how his daughter was behaving and after all Jane was 22 years old, and most importantly her father really love her,
-0-0— BackTORealLifeMeeting and parting are two things that cannot be separated from human life. The meeting is the beginning of a new story or story for a variety of different reasons. A number of different reasons… Jane's eyes twitched as she heard her office door open"Jane, I'd like you to meet the CEO of Clawn company...." Jane was sitting peacefully on the sofa in her office with her legs and arms crossed when her office door opened wide with Marisa announcing to her surprise walking in with a man she had known last night.Her secretary walk in to her office room with a man wearing a dark blue Tailor suit by her side, so she immediately wondered how someone could be called an expert at his age, when she was also new to her own fashion company and this man was quickly establishing his own."Jane Arnault" she stood up finally approaching the man she had met last night, but showed no surprise and held out her hand.“Richard Clawn” he said his name and after the necessary eye conta
Jane threw herself onto the couch exhaling a tired breath. Obviously, this could be a day that could drive everyone crazy due to month end closing. She stared at the messy files above and glanced at the wall in front, scattered with several designs. All the staff were running around the office trying to avoid her stares, Jane had checked the line-up of a very important magazine that was going to be printed later this week for release Monday morning, and the files of some of the items that had just been launched that were going to be sent around the world, this calmed her down. Since she had already completed several tasks, it would imply tremendous prestige for the company, in addition to several billion, trillion dollars.From her office, with the large transparent mirror surrounding her, Jane saw the situation outside her office but one couldn't see inside her room, she couldn't help but smile as she finished a few cups of coffee then immediately pursed her lips because the answer t
Jane opened a drawer and took out some files and hurriedly put them in her bag. She looked at the wall clock which showed 8 pm, this was the right time to go home to prepare herself for the weekend with her daughter's favourite guest let alone her favourite, biting her lip she took the name card of the man who stopped by her office this afternoon but she stopped there when she heard a voice coming inside…“Hey— there are firecrackers in the room” Marisa knocked on the door of her boss's office room who had been standing observing her boss like she was in a hurry before leaning against the door frame."Excuse me?" Jane frowned, her curiosity peaking, before turning her body to look at her assistant, trying to considering her words"That's a Joke" She straightened her posture and forced a smile in response to her boss's question"Okay." Jane said stuffing the name card into her bag quickly deceiving her assistant's focused gaze on her, by putting on a straight face.Seeing her boss now
Jane changed into her thin black lace pajamas with see-through and went about her nightly routine, replaying that night's events in her mind. After they returned to the table, Richard continued to explain, taking every opportunity to point out similarities and common interests between Herself until Jane could barely speak to one another; Richard had said all there was to them. while Jane is tempted to look at her past lover, but forces herself to be a good poker face, relaxing and sipping her wine. There would be time to think about Richard later.She was beginning to suspect Marisa had been talking more to Richard in her absence too, because by the time they all said goodbye it was clear he had the impression it was indeed a date, no joke. he. She pulled him aside and told him in a charming tone how wonderful it was to meet her, and would hope to see her again sometime, to talk business, or…. Jane groaned closing her eyes, for in her memories of being with Richard distracted by the i
Luckily, the orchestra chose that moment to finish the song and the couple in the ballroom stopped dancing, applauding their final performance.She took that as an excuse and checked the watch on his wrist watch “Oh, I didn't notice the time. It's very late," she said to him, "I have an early meeting tomorrow, with your team"Richard looked surprised and disappointed but just nodded at her. She knew it was a lousy excuse and probably one of the worst performances of her life, and they returned to their table again when they wanted to finish the bill."You understand that I invited you to dinner just to not piss me off, right?" he said.Jane laughed at him gently, "Yeah, that's pretty obvious.""So officially, I still owe you another dinner," he smiled, after he waved and silently asked the waiter for the bill, "But we can make it dinner in Chicago if you want," he said as casually as he could and waited for her to answer.Before she could say anything, the waitress returned with the b
He chuckled but pretended to look offended, “Of course! In fact, I am a great dancer. I'm the grandson of the British Ambassador, remember? I started taking ballroom dancing classes at the age of four, just in case Queen Elizabeth stopped by New York,” he said as she joined in on the laughs, irony isn't it? and she'd be dealing with politically strong, it was too complicated Jane thought"—Oh wait. I understand. It's a car thing, right? You don't think people who own automotive companies can dance," he continued the conversation, following another song.More like a robot linker and an airplane, Jane's mind thought with a smile.Out of the corner of her eye she saw a pregnant girl in her twenties dancing with a friend of Richard's who she knew was in his late fifties and her smile faded. She asked herself again, for the thousandth time, how a man could do such a stupid thing.Richard noticed the change in her mood and followed her gaze, “It's Hiko Yamato and his wife. You've probably s
-0-0—YESTERDAY“-uhm, and why do you like roses?” Jane tried to break Richard’s gaze too fixated on her“Well, it’s different with you I guess I should explain first—” Jane smirked as Richard teased her before he continued “Apparently my father is an American businessman who grew up in Europe and my mother is British,” he began after tasting the wine, “They have nothing in common, just the fact that they’re both fresh. Students from the same university in France. My father is a student engineer and my mother studied Literature. Dad loves numbers, and mom loves words. Dad is brown hair, and mom is blonde. Dad is friendly and talkative, mom is shy and introspective—” Jane laughed looking at him“and it’s very specific The other way around” Jane laughed making Richard smile happily“In every way imaginable,” he nodded, “They met at one of those student meet and greets once. “He said he was instantly smitten by her, while mom wasn’t impressed with him at all,” he laughed, “Instead of givi
“I thought you want to help me?” Gary said speaking up. “You said you need me for a mission to get all this started so what do we have to do?” She wasn’t surprised Gary was the first one to ask that question. He had the most experience working with the CIA after all.“It will actually be two missions,” Sia said turning back to the image. “This place belongs to you leader of one of the stronger factions but you hold on it is gonna through black mail and you are assisted in this by your father whom I believe you are familiar with.” An image of his father appeared on Gary mind.“Yes me is leading a Fashion businessman?” Gary said clearly shocked. “I mean I know he’s ruthless enough but I didn’t think anyone would follow him.” She could understand their disbelief but one Gary know the whole picture of his father done then he migh be understand. “He has control over the Command system ship through it’s Dark control systems,” Sia said bringing up the image. “He has allied with his brothe
She glanced at Gary and looked uncomfortable with what he was about to ask her and she did her best to look supportive when his eyes found hers. “I know you would prefer to take some time to deal with leaving your home world again but we don’t have time,” Gary finally said. “We have an important matter to discuss, if you’d tell them what you asked me to do.”She took a breath as She look at him again “Some time ago I asked myself to consider putting myself in contention for this Mission alone.” She could see the understanding look on Gary face. “I agreed to consider it and discuss it with the rest of the truth but when Chief mantion you it kind makes me challenge Doing my job”“This is why you not stepped down to this mission isn’t it?” Gary asked looking at Sia. “You’ve agreed to go along with this mission idea of you take me in to this?” Sia nodded and Gary glanced over at his other side. “You knew about me accidently?”“Only after Chief be seen supporting you behind” Sia said afte
The silent level in the cafe was deafening; so much for the belief that a meeting of the him was always conducted in a decorous fashion, hah. Sia exchanged glances with hm. Of the people present on CIA, she is must to meet him, and here she is. And the only two who weren’t currently expressing their opinions at the top of their lungsDespite the seriousness of the situation, Sia had to stifle a grin as Gary rolled his eyes and whispered, “Now I know why Captain has resisted being promoted for so long!”“I certainly would go insane if I had to deal with you on a regular basis,” Gary agreed. She looked around at the room; to her left. At her immediate left, before She was glad she couldn’t make out more than a few distinct phrases from that particular ‘conversation.’“Gives you a greater appreciation for how tough it is to be CIA agent,” Gary said. “It’s not just I’m who’s unhappy, though I think most of the others were all right until this brought up the plans for the colony.” He shift
“Although their motives appear to be pure,” Gary said with only a trace of irony disappointed in his voice, “but why my dad assets been included to them?!”Sia nods when sigh “That’s why we’ve decided that it would not be prudent to have you going back this job. I’m sending a second ship with you-the Odyssey.” Sia pause considering “but I do want to help you” Gary closed his eyes grunts in annoyed This was exactly what he didn’t want to know about his dad done or his assets... even the Dark Auction wasn’t any worse“Who will be in command of the selection of this mission?” Gary asked slowly“I am but you will be in charge of the overall mission if you join me,” Sia said immediately, answering his unspoken question. “Captain Effic La Farley will be in command to help in France. He’s an excellent officer. Although he’s never held a field command before, he’s headed up a variety of research teams, plus garnered immeasurable experience serving on senior staff for nearly fifteen years befo
“Do they have any other purpose other than making a living for their group?” he asked after awhile “After much effort and time I don’t think so but if the Federation cooperates in their business I’m not so sure” Sia said it made sense because people need dark political funds “There aren’t many easy worlds for illicit or unclaimed business that fit in, especially in that area,” Sia said leaning forward in her chair. Suddenly she had an insight. “Do you think there are the size of the hands of the higher ups in France?” she remembered how the Humans there offered arrivals a chance to settle down if they had sufficient funds. And this must be how the new ship got involved. The more she thought about it now, the more sense it made. Gary’s eyes met hers. “Ahh I think that’s how They claims her Retail is easy since Ms. Arnault’s father is from and settled in France.” Gary sat back, stunned. Many images and memories of his time in France – with Jane, for what they thought would
