3. The Search

“Mom, how can Claire survive if she has nothing?” Lindsay said, shocked. 

She had never expected Christine to be that kind to her granddaughter.

She then added, “Mom, please let her carry it all.” 

“No. Let's take out all the facilities that I gave you, Claire!” Christine commanded, not wanting to be denied.

With tear-filled eyes, Clairer reached into her wallet and took out all the cards she had and the car keys. She wiped her tears and left the living room. 

Before she reached the door, she heard her grandmother still grumbling, “What does she think it's like to live outside? Let her understand how hard it is to live outside.” 

Claire closed her eyes for a moment, endured the pain in her heart and then walked quickly away from the house. 

She stopped a taxi. “Sir, could you please lift the suitcase?” 

“Oh, yes ma'am, just a moment.” 

Jasmine watched her sister's departure from the window. 

After the taxi left the front yard of the Michel family home, Jasmine grinned, “I'm sorry, Sister. But if it wasn't like this, I can’t be with Ludwig. Happy poor life out there.”

London, England

Felix just got his satisfaction after he made love to a top model he met in one of the UK's famous nightclubs. Breathless, he stepped away from her. 

“Where are you going, Baby?” she asked in a broken voice. 

“The bathroom,” Felix replied shortly. 

After he entered the bathroom, he quickly locked it from the inside. He washed his body until it was wet all over.

However, he felt annoyed with himself strangely. 

He even punched the wall several times. 

“Damn it! What's wrong with me?” 

“Why won't that woman's face leave my memory?” 

He rubbed his face, frustrated. 

“And why can't I ever be satisfied with another woman? What's wrong with me exactly?” 

“SHIT!” 

Felix shook his head vigorously, completely clueless as to what was happening to him.

“Remember, Felix. Remember, she's just a comfort woman. Not worth thinking about.” 

However, it was useless. He still couldn't get the thought of her out of his head. In fact, the more he tried to forget, the more he was reminded of her charms. 

“Oh, this can't be happening to me!” he said in exasperation. 

He turned off the faucet and went outside after putting on a towel. 

“Baby, do you want some more?” Sofia asked with a sensual smile.

She even removed the white blanket covering her body, as if inviting Felix to do something with her.

Felix just smiled stiffly, “No. You can leave now, Sofia. I have some urgent business.” 

The beautiful woman's eyes widened, “What? You're telling me to leave now? But usually you don't just do that once with me, Felix. Was I not able to satisfy you earlier?” 

“Do you want me to do something for you, Felix? You can tell me,” Sofia said, not wanting to just leave.

“No.”

“Felix, you-”

“Andrew will take care of your payment,” Felix cut in quickly. 

Sofia understood that Felix didn't want her so she left the luxury hotel disappointed.

As Felix had said, Andrew quickly did the young master's bidding.

 

“Andrew, call Laura to reschedule all my activities for tomorrow. And ask her to clear my schedule immediately for one week,” Felix ordered. 

“Yes, sir?” Andrew said in surprise. 

“Prepare yourself because we are going to Canada and you have to find that woman for me no matter what,” Felix said flatly. 

Andrew was wide-eyed, “That woman? You mean ....”

“The woman of the night. I have to meet her,” Felix said seriously.

“That woman? What do you mean by that ....” 

“Yes, the comfort woman who danced with me and spent the night with me back then,” Felix replied, making Andrew gasp even more. 

He was quite surprised. Because this was the first time his young master had sought out a woman.

What makes women so special? Andrew wondered. 

Montreal, Canada

When he arrived in Canada, Felix was amazed at what he was doing. 

“I thought I was crazy.” 

He shook his head and muttered to himself, “Felix, you really are out of your mind.” 

The man with the bright blue eyes stepped into the nightclub that had brought him together with the woman he could not forget until now. 

As usual, as soon as he entered, he immediately became the center of attention. He effortlessly made several women look at him with interested gazes. 

Who wouldn't be mesmerized and smitten by a Felix Homann with such perfect facial lines? 

In addition to his extraordinarily handsome face, he also had a model-like posture that was the dream of women. 

On top of that, his elegant appearance and dazzling smile always managed to keep women captivated in just a few minutes. 

The man who was worthy of the nickname handsome Don Juan was now casting his eyes all over looking for the woman who had kept him from sleeping soundly for weeks. 

“Hey, handsome. Do you need a friend in your bed?” a woman in a fiery red dress asked. 

Felix just smiled slightly and continued his search. 

“Damn it! Why is she so hard to find?” he said in frustration.

Andrew Finn had searched for the Canadian woman but couldn't find her. He had even hired a detective to investigate her origins but still couldn't find the slightest information. 

Unfortunately, he still failed. The woman his master wanted to meet seemed to have disappeared into thin air. 

Indeed, Felix only had one photo that he had taken secretly. However, unfortunately the photo was not very clear due to the minimal lighting. 

Felix took it when they were in the hotel hallway. In fact, the photo only showed the woman's nose and lips. Her eyes were covered by her hair because they were both drunk at the time. 

So, the only thing Felix could do was go to the nightclub in the hope that the mysterious woman would appear there. 

“Did you find her?” Felix asked hopefully. 

Andrew was confused to death, “Not yet, sir. I asked the officer to check the CCTV for that night but strangely there was nothing.” 

Felix turned his head, “What do you mean ‘nothing’?”
