There are only two ways to live her life. there is as though nothing is a miracle. There is another as though everything is a miracle... but now Jane can't think whether she will get that miracle again when she sees him like this, her mind doesn't knowThat was how they met, or rather, she was the reason they met again, Jane's blue eyes stared blankly in confusion"Gary-" she try to asked after a moment of silent, immediately getting his attention "what are you doing?" then Jane rolled her eyes when she remembered that he was the one who was standing on the stage earlier… The problem with problems is that if you don't deal with your problems and deal with them quickly, problems tend to multiply... here we go again, Jane thought as she looked him straight in the eyes."—what is it about Gary? I- I don't understand..." Gary nodded when pear down at her who is stutter in words. Gary is still wearing his mask just like Jane but Jane can immediately figure it out when looking at his eyes,
It's not about how hard you can hit; it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward... Jane tried to focus on listening to his explanation, The fundamental cause of the problems in today's world is that stupid people are stupid people are overconfident and smart people are full of doubts, right ?! luckily she wasn't that kind of second self as she chewed on the inside of her cheek looking him moving around.Gary was putting on his mask again in the middle of it Jane answered his finished explanation"The mission is to go." Jane said through her mind trying to process what he had just said. "and the Selected Few Players, may not be chosen but volunteered to stand guard indoors and outside the surrounding area." Jane muttered as she stared at Gary who had finished putting on his mask"right, this is easy like playing casino but your company is at stake" Jane bit her tongue mocking his words while shaking her head"And I bet again why should a game like this be made?" she wh
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it... but when Jane is staring at Gary, she only thinks one thing where Don't trouble her that trouble until trouble troubles them, Gary again- caught Jane's gaze as she tilted her head but she quickly avoided his gaze because she knew if she fell into that stare she couldn't focus."Mr. Pinault..." the guide table smiled respectfully then nodded before announcing precious piece of note paper as his eyebrows rose in surprise "full holder of new company in France" He announced making cheers and claps that Jane could hear coming from outside, Jane frowned her forehead but Gary just acted casually as he smirks put the Leatherology Black Onyx Classic Memo back in his pocket, on the other hand the three men were very tempted by the offered Gary made, because full holder means they have overall power even design, projects, employees and products.Jane couldn't believe her
The trouble with life isn't that there is no answer, but that there are so many answers, but the problem is that when Jane Difficulty intends to awaken her clear mind, not minimize her feelings and emotions. Her spirit grows strong with conflict… Jane is Looking up, she narrowed her eyes at Mr. Cold, who was inattentive was currently heading towards the door. She was as bad as him if She couldn't get the winning dice."Oh! My turn!" tilting his head while rolling the dice in his hand, Mr. Claw remark. Jane seriously considered asking how he could he so relaxed with such precision. Because in this world, a male face that could convey calm was very rare to find, and now Jane had one before her eyes, so calm and sure. She was going to do it, but then decided against it, noticing that the man beside her was watching her every move too clearly, again Jane erased the thought she was sure to win something tonight. She can't let her papa’ down, she is Arnault, she can take control with one gl
The sound of the dice landed on the table get people's attention with that Jane straightening her shoulders then quickly as people's eyes focused on the dice Jane tried to swat Gary hand away but instead his hand went off the top of her thigh. It turn Gary grabbed Jane's hand quickly as he held Jane's hand however Jane tried to pull it away because she was afraid people would find out and besides above them there was a camera watching but it was possible that their lower body was not highlighted with of the unfavourable light it make Jane still felt anxious, struggled as she rabbles to release his hold but as Gary looked at her, she finally giving up... that brown tender, deep, yet dangerously sharp gaze made her heart race, Gary blinked as he nodded once, causing Jane to focus back on the dice she was throwing."Five sixes?!" Mr. Tommy rubbed his eyes with surprise. "How?!" Gary smirked at hearing that as Jane's eyes were as surprised as Mr. TommyThen Jane glanced at Gary again tryi
—'Thanks God, for the magic you showed today, I hope this warmth will continue’— ending her writing Lily smiled happily looking at her writing but also thinking about what they did this afternoon, she was very grateful to be able to enjoy that free time dessert with Gary and her Riri, she didn't know the last time she felt this happy, because maybe when her mother was busy and ‘oldpapa died she spent a lot of free time alone but luckily Riri appeared in her life, maybe it was 'oldpapa who sent Riri for her, she bit her lips when shook her head.She don't know… but her life felt so perfect with the presence of the two of them, Lily's eyes widened when she saw a car coming in at the iron gate of her house, she watched from the glass window of her study room, she quickly put her diary on the desk shelf and didn't forget to lock it, she then turned off the light highlight her studies and go down the short stairs to her bed, pulling the blanket she looked around if there was a book lying o
When you wake up in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for the breath and for the joy of life. If you see no reason to be grateful, the fault lies with yourself… Jane's body stirred as she woke up... she tried to open her eyes, but it was very heavy, but the warm body that was in her arms made Jane realize one thing, that she was sleeping in Lily's bed... It was the last memory of the night that she remembered several minute she open her eyes.Jane wanted to grunt but she realized that her daughter was still asleep next to her, she tried to slowly open her eyes and get out of bed as she try to investigate what happened last night, but when she tried to move she gritted her teeth against as the pain in her head mingled. Lifting her head felt like moving a bag of cement and she didn't have the strength to do it. Taking a deep breath, Jane glanced at Lily and she was grateful that her daughter was still asleep, mustering what energy she
In the past Lily loved the night the most, when her mother or grandfather tucked her under the blanket by reading her a story, a warm hug, or the lullaby that she missed so much but as she grew she found more treasures and hope and joy that she found in the morning…Lily groaned pulling the covers up to cover her head when the sound of an alarm sounded on her nightstand, then she quickly blink her eyes as she threw away the blanket more when she remembered that her mother was in her room last night, but she frowned when she realized that her mother was no longer in her bed, she stretched her body while looking around saw that the clock on the wall was just showing 5 o'clock... ‘Damn who is that? set the alarm so early’ she thought muttering to herself but she didn't realize that she was the one setting up the time when she had to arrange the plan to beg permission to her mother if Riri and her uncle to come here on the weekend and have a nice breakfast.Lily finally nodded and quickly
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
