Elena stopped by at the coffee shop where Ashley was working. “Cappuccino, right?” Ashley approached her table and gave her a plate of a cheese cake. “Thanks,” Elena beamed and moved the coffee cup closer to her. At the time she was taking a look around the café, it was quite empty. It was around 10 in the morning, she saw there were only three guests in the café including her and a woman with her daughter. She smirked as her eyes captured the daughter and mother interaction. The daughter appeared to be under five years old and she talked in excited expression as her mom kept listening seriously. They looked to get involved in a deep conversation and it was so cute to see that, making Elena recalled how she used to be as a little girl. She sighed and took a sip of her cappuccino, she found Ashley was standing still by her chair, and she was looking at the same direction as her. “They often visit this café but…I never seen the father…” Ashley shrugged and was about to leav
‘What twenty minutes of waiting can be solved?’ Elena walked through the walking side after getting down from her taxi. She wrapped her arms in the front and watched the walking side was quite rushing with people on the way to work or go for sights. It was eleven fifty coming to the break time at some offices around there. They had break time for lunch time at 12… but some of those small corporations did have no strictly time for their break time and getting some lunch…at least the workers had one hour to take a break from their daily work. She saw some Café or food courts prepare the space for visitors having lunch there. She just left Ashley’s café and got her cappuccino with a croissant after visiting Mom in The Wilson Senior Hospital. She was quite shaking and needed a friend to talk to about what she had found that morning. Fortunately, Ashley wasn’t so busy so she could ask her company to listen the part of her life, it was about the ring that she found that morning ins
Emir Drake threw the magazine that Craig, his assistant, brought to him to the table. It almost made his tea cup tumbling down, but fortunately Craig’s hand quickly put a hold on it. “Craig, you can leave now…please make every eyes not aim to this area…as usual…” Emir ordered the young good looking man who he called Craig. His eyes spotted to the young man who was standing behind him. The young man gave him a quick nod before leaving him in the area. “I will, Mr. Emir!” Emir Drake sighed after reading the article about Jane Dovey. ‘She made her return so surprising…’ He curled his upper lip and threw his sight to the swimming pool where his girls were swimming. They were girls in their early twenties with their curved bodies wrapped by vivid colored bikinis. Most of them were blonde haired girls and brunette with those blue eyes. They were giggling and his favorite girl, Kania, as usual as she did, was staring at him with her mysterious gaze. That morning, he wasn’t int
Angelo sniffed and watched from the main mirror of his car, the silver Jeep was following since he drove off to leave the place where he picked up Elena. He glanced at Elena who was sitting next to him. That young woman was flipping over the pages of a magazine. “Who are you?” He asked with his curious pitch. Elena stopped reading the magazine and looked at him in more direct curiosity. She curled her eyebrows. “What you mean by that question?” Angelo sneered. He rubbed his nose tip. “I mean why you are working for with Johnny?” He turned his head to Elena. “Nice salary…” Elena shrugged. “But sometimes it’s dangerous, Elena!” Angelo turned his steer at sudden. The car was almost slipped on the right side since it was on the high speed while Angelo threw the steer without slowing the speed. Luckily, he was so skillful in his driving crafts. ‘Almost, crazy! It was so scarry…’ Elena held her hand on the seat side and the magazine in her hand which she was reading sli
“May I ask you a question, Boss?” Elena stopped eating, she put a deep look on Johnny’s face. Her gaze was stern and straightforward towards the man who enjoying his lunch dish. “I hope this question won’t hit you because you know, I am into this assignment…” Elena carefully continued her words. Johnny was munching and put a white serviette on his mouth to cover and wipe the corner of his lips. “Come. I am quite open minded…” Elena turned her head down for a second and sucked a long inhale before continuing. “You seem so get involved with this issue. Was it because Irène Belle? Something unfinished business?” She encouraged herself to stare into Johnny’s eyes. Johnny coughed and put a drink before going to chuckle. He shook his head and took a look at Angelo for a while who was stopping to eat his meal and directing his eyes to Elena. His eyes were bit catching a surprise stare to her. “Is it important to answer that silly questions?” He kept giggling with uneasy expres
Emir Drake sank his cigarette on an ashtray and stirred it down to put the fire off. The remains of burning ashes were blowing smokes aired between him and his men. He rested his two elbows on each side arm seat while his clenched hands held up his chin. His eyes were staring like a flying eagle’s stare at a man who was in the middle of thirties, dark hair and sturdy body. “You saw that the girl was waiting for Angelo??” He looked at a man with muscular arms and black tight shirt, one of his men that he ordered to monitor and stalk for Elena Rouge. The man gave a nod and rested his strong arms on his thighs while he leaned his upper body forward. He straightly took a seat on a long sofa in Emir’s sight. “Her name is Elena Rouge, Mr. Emir,” Craig added after he checked his laptop. “I have all the details data that she has from The Royal Business Academy administration.” He looked at Emir Drake who was sitting with his crossed legs in his sight. “She has good achievement in b
“So, you are going to have a dinner with him, tonight at 7.30 p.m?” Ashley widened her eyes and looked at Elena with excited stare. Elena nodded. “I told him to pick me up here and I told him that I am working here…at a café.” She turned down her head and stirred her warm tea. Ashley giggled. “Lucky you, my boss came home earlier that she should. Her kid needs her so I can play a role as your boss in this café!” She put one of her hands on her waist as she was talking to Elena. Elena smirked and snapped out the time on her watch. She felt a bit of nervous since she had never gone dating for almost three years. Time was running… “You have any advices?” Elena curled her nose and looked at her best friend. “Is my lipstick too glittery?” Ashley widened her eyes hearing her question and she giggled. “Elena, you are twenty four, even you don’t put on any lipsticks…wait! Stay here…I give you some final polish!” Elena followed Ashley’s back with her eyes until that young woma
The taxi driver stopped his car in the front of a five stars rated apartment building. Some men were standing in the front of building with some security equipment as the area was full private vicinity. There was a valet parking service and the taxi stopped just a few steps from the spot. A man from the apartment staff approached the taxi and halted his questions to the taxi driver man after his eyes captured Edward Philippe inside the taxi with a woman was sleeping. Edward put his finger on his lips, asking the man to not making some voices that his voice could make Elena wake up. Edward wrapped his arm behind Elena’s back and gripped her arm as he lifted her body to be carried away by his two arms. He came out the taxi carefully. “Please pull a hundred dollar from my mantle’s pocket and give it to the taxi driver!” He leaned his body to the security guard that opened the taxi door for him. His voice sounded whispering and he kept carrying Elena with his two arms. The se
