This island wasn't a really big one. Its area was almost two times that of the whole residential quarter of Unit No.1.The restaurant on the island was next to the beach.When Dave and I were sitting for dinner, I noticed the sun setting little by little and finally, disappeared above the sea.Such a scene was pretty.After dinner, Dave took me to his room so I could change into the clothes he had prepared for me in advance.I flipped through the clothes and found that the clothes he had prepared were either bikinis or semi coated sunlight proof clothing..."These clothes...""I..."Carrying a bikini top in my hand, intending to question Dave, he hugged me from behind.He gently kissed my hair and said in an ambiguous tone, "Besides the ones guarding the island, I am the only one here. Feel free to wear it. Only I will see you."Although I didn't want to wear a bikini, I surely couldn't get used to the weather on the island with my current outfit.I could only choose a bikini which wa
I opened my eyes and looked at the big house, thinking of what Blue had said over the phone.Dave was a businessman.These capitalists were always keen on profit.He once promised he wouldn't do anything to Haick Design but he had gone back on his words.Why do I feel that what Blue said has nothing to do with him?What's more, Blue said Haick's mother had got a sum of money from the Mitaka Group...I was restless and the temperature in the house was low so I changed my clothes and sat in the garden downstairs.When I was staring at the sereny in a daze, I saw Oogway passing by from a distance. He was walking to his apartment.Just as I was hesitating whether to say hello to him or not, he turned his head and happened to see me.At first, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes but soon it was replaced by a smile.He came up to greet me and asked, "Why are you here?""I have nothing to do, so I came out to enjoy the senery."I was lying.Oogway seemed to see through me at a glance.
Kim's house was as messy as usual.I went straight to the kitchen to make her something first. However, as soon as I opened the refrigerator, a foul smell came out and water dripped out too.I tilted my head and glimpsed at the plug next to the refrigerator. The poor plug was lying quietly on the ground.I couldn't help complaining, "Are you sure you want to cook with the ingredients in your refrigerator?"Kim came over and saw the messy scene in the refrigerator. She patted her forehead and said, "I forgot to plug the refrigerator in the socket.""I'll clean up the refrigerator for you.""No need. no need. Let's go out to eat. I'll hire someone from the housekeeping company to clean it up tomorrow."Kim pulled me out as I got a cloth and was about to clean up the dirty water on the ground.She brought me to a spicy hot pot store near her house. The owner was an old lady.Since it was early spring, the weather was very cold so there wasn't any guest at all.As soon as Kim entered the
Dave rolled his eyes at Desmond and said, "You are so nosy. Go and drive the car.""Yes, yes!" Although Desmond promised readily, he looked at Kim's back reluctantly.Desmond sent us home. At the residential quarters, Dave took me upstairs. Along the way, he kept a straight face.I was nervous as I wondered why he was angry.Was it because I misunderstood him this afternoon or because I didn't pick up his calls?I was even more worried about what would happen at home...When the door was opened, I looked inside feeling a little scared.I wondered if Dave would lock me up.Or...While I was randomly guessing, Dave stretched out his hand and pulled me into the house directly.I subconsciously apologized, "I'm sorry, I..."Before I could finish my words, Dave suddenly hugged me.He hugged me tightly.I was stunned as my body pressed against Dave's chest.At this moment, I could only hear the sound of his strong heartbeat.It wasn't until a few seconds later that I heard Dave's voice abo
Anger overwhelmed me in an instant."Shut up!" I was so angry that I clutched the plastic bag containing eggs in my hand and swung it directly. I smashed it on Helen's head.Bang!Because of my great strength, all the eggs got broken.Blended with the broken eggshell, both the egg white and the egg yolk flowed out of the gap of the plastic bag, pasting on Helen's hair and face.She was stunned. She then loosened her grip and I pulled my hair out of her hand and said coldly, "All of this is Lita's fault. She reaps what she has sown and it has nothing to do with me.""Get back, go with us, and apologize to Lita. Tell the media that Nicki's drawings were forged by you!"As soon as I took a step, Thomas held my hand.He was a man and his strength was none compared to mine."No way. The drawings aren't fake." I looked at Thomas and found him ridiculous, "Lita is your daughter. Don't you know her capability? She's so stupid. Don't you know what kind of works she can design?""Don't talk non
Helen wanted to stop us but Thomas stopped her. After all, even though they could offend me, they couldn't afford to offend Dave.Dave took me into the residential quarter and naturally wanted to walk in the direction of his house.I stood where I was and asked him, "Dave Mitaka, were you by Lita's side last night?""Yes. Yesterday, she..." When Dave said this, he paused for a moment. It seemed he was deliberating on something.Then he added, "She committed suicide. Fortunately, a passerby found her in time and saved her life.""If she commits suicide every night, would you accompany her every night?" I asked with a mocking smile then added, "Why won't you, she's your fiancée anyway."Knowing that I was angry, Dave didn't speak or respond. He just stretched out his hand wanting to hold me in his arms.I took a step back and dodged him, asking, "Dave Mitaka, how's our child's search going? Is it as she said?""I've sent someone to look into it. There's no evidence yet." Dave said.I di
I hurried to the stairway next to the elevator, feeling quite confused in my heart.The Hospital was the best private hospital in the City. How come Lita could find someone to be her accomplice in such a place?I became more and more convinced that Lita was not a simple person.I was sure Dave would come here, I waited downstairs to see how serious Lita's illness would be after a while.Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Dave arrived.He walked in from outside quickly and headed for Lita's ward.I followed behind him secretly and looked through the small window of the door, only to find Lita was completely different from what I had seen earlier.With an infusion bottle hanging above her body, she was lying on the bed with a pale face.Poor Dave! As a great president, he was fooled by a woman.I left the Hospital.That evening, it wasn't until about 10 p.m. that Dave came home. The smell of disinfectant on his body indicated clearly where he had gone.I took the initiative to hel
Two weeks later, it was the day of my birthday. I went to work as usual and Dave waited for me at the next intersection across the company to take me home like we usually did.After I got in the car, he took me to his stylish team.My make up was done smoothly and the evening dress he had gotten for me complimented me perfectly.After I was ready, Dave drove to the hotel.In the restaurant, when the waiter opened the door for us, I stood at the door and saw that there was only a table with a small candle on it in the large dining hall...Dave made a gentlemanly gesture beside me, signaling me to go in first.In fact, I was a little scared.I was scared of the dark. I looked at the shaky candle in the middle of the table, feeling like it would go out in the next second!"Don't be afraid."Dave, grabbed me with one hand.I, whose hands were originally trembling, seemed to feel a little better after feeling the warmth coming from his palm.I summoned up my courage and stepped into the d
Looking at Bryan, I felt a heart wrenching pain. However, I didn't know how to comfort him.At this time, Jason on the side raised his hand to rub Bryan's hair and said, "Of course, your dad won't do that. Every father in the world loves his children the most. Of course, your dad surely won't abandon you.""Is it true?""It's true!" Jason nodded with certainty.He pushed the shopping cart away.Looking at the bottle of energy drink that Dave had put down, somehow, I picked it up and put it in the shopping cart.After we went back home that night, I cooked. And Jason accompanied Bryan to build Lego.Everything was as usual.Ding. Dong.Someone rang the doorbell.Jason went to open the door. I stood aside and felt a little puzzled. After all, no one would visit me.After Jason opened the door, I saw a look of surprise on his face.The next second, I saw Dave pushing him away and stepping into the room. Looking around, he saw me, went straight over, and grabbed my arm, saying, "Let's
The next day, Jason arrived with a leather suitcase.Bryan was so happy. It was also a Friday.Originally, Jason was about to leave at night. However, Bryan insisted on not letting him go. Whatever I said, he wouldn't listen to me.In the end, we couldn't persuade Bryan, so I had to let Jason stay overnight...That day seemed to be a turning point.Since that day, Jason had been living in my home. Occasionally, he would go back to school but most of the time, he lived here.I trusted him. Usually, I would leave a few hundred dollars at home and ask him to go out to the supermarket to buy things for me.What's more, after Jason stayed here on weekends, I could go to the driving school to learn to drive over the weekends, which benefited me and significantly shorten the duration of getting a driving license.Because I could go to the driving school on the weekends, I passed the vehicle driving license exam of subject three soon. After that, I made a reservation for subject four.To cel
I knew that Jason surely knew where he should have put the Lego piece. It was just that he used this method to make Bryan think on his own.The two of them were having a good time at this time. When I entered the room, neither Jason nor Bryan noticed me.Within a day, the two of them got along with each other so well. Only then did I feel that Jason was quite reliable.I changed my shoes and walked inside.Jason quickly stood up and said, "Sister Alina, let me prepare dinner for you.""No, let me do it." I looked at my watch and found that it was past six p.m. Then I said, "Go back to school now.""Okay." Jason nodded his head.Cleaning up the Lego pieces on the ground, Jason promised Bryan that he would piece the Lego with him tomorrow and left.After I finished cooking and asked Bryan to have dinner, Bryan stared at me and said, "Mom, can you pay brother Jason more so that he can accompany me longer?"I was stunned. And I immediately wondered whether Jason had asked Bryan to say s
A week later, Jason came to my house for the first time on a Monday.I got up at 7 a.m, changed my clothes, and went downstairs, planning to cook. Ding!Ding! My cell phone rang.It was a text from Jason, which read, "Sister Alina, I'm at the door of your house. If you are up, please open the door for me."I opened the door quickly.I saw Jason standing at the door in a light blue T shirt. Rolling up the sleeves to his shoulders, he revealed his skinny and yet muscular arms. With a pair of sports shorts on his lower body, a pair of sneakers, and white socks on.The morning sunlight shone on his face and shone into his eyes, making him outgoing and bright."Why did you come so early?" I was a little surprised.Jason said seriously, "Sister Scarlett told me that you are quite busy, asking me to come here to make breakfast early. After I arrived here, fearing that you hadn't woken up, I waited at the door for a while. After hearing that there was movement inside, I sent the text."For
Not long after that day, a female superstar was revealed to have slept with different men, overshadowing all news related to me.In the end, my life went to as peaceful as it used to be.The studio gradually returned to normal. And the renovation of the former studio had almost been done. So we moved back.I transformed one of Judith's guest rooms into Bryan's room and got him back to my side.If Bryan went to the same kindergarten as he did before, it would be troublesome. So I intended to transfer him to another kindergarten.It just so happened that Marie found a kindergarten offering a semi boarding service for Aurelia. She could live there from Monday to Thursday. And Marie would pick her up and take her home on weekends.According to Marie, she had studied this kindergarten for a long time and found it quite reliable. So I sent Bryan there as well.Since Bryan wasn't home at ordinary times, I had a lot of free time.Apart from learning to drive, I focused on my work.Once I beca
I followed him into the elevator specifically for the president. Dee stood in front of me. Through the mirror in the elevator door, I could see that he looked dignified.Walking out of the elevator, I saw that the whole top floor was the same as before.Dee took me to the door of Dave's office. Knocking twice on the door, he said, "Mr. Mitaka, she's here."Then he pushed the door open slightly and motioned me to go in.It seems that Dave had known I will come.I looked at the door and felt extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.In the office, Dave sat in front of a large L shaped desk with a document in one hand and a folder in the other, correcting the document.I walked in. He paused what he was doing for a moment. Without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want to say?"If Dave's attitude to me was as normal as usual, I might indeed think that I had seen something wrong. However, judging from the current scene, I knew that I hadn't se
Lying there, I rested for quite a while before sitting up.Looking at the dim living room around me, I saw a faint light shining through the window of the living room. Searching the living room carefully, I was sure Dave hadn't come back.Yeah, he didn't come back. Otherwise, seeing that I fell down, he surely would come to me.I thought of the kiss at noon.I, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer disguise myself.I stood where I was and kept telling myself, "Aren't you going to be independent of him? Aren't you going to stop thinking about him?"After all, everything would only get worse and worse if we were together. It would be better if we weren't together.In that case, the ones I loved wouldn't get hurt.How nice it would be!I kept telling myself this.Yeah. Since I decided to break up with him, I would have to make things clear to him face to face, right?I was deceiving myself in my mind.Rubbing my waist, I took out my cell mobile phone from my pocket. Look
Marie sighed, "Alina Jetson, oh, Alina Jetson. Sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. Dave is so good to you. Why did you hide this from him?""I..." I turned around, "I don't want to make trouble for him. I think I can solve this independently. If I tell him, he will definitely help me. I am independent. And I can't always be protected by him, can I?""Are you making blind and disorderly conjectures?" Marie looked at me with a frown."Am I thinking randomly?"I didn't know what to say at the moment.Marie took my hand and said, "He may be having a meeting. Don't think too much. As Scarlett said, he's a president. How can he hang around you all day? Maybe he hasn't seen the press conference up till now."I knew that what Marie had said wouldn't happen.When I left, I remembered Dave's expression very clearly.He surely knew that I was going to do something that I kept from him.Scarlett shouted from the side, "Let's go have the meal quickly. I'm so hungry."Wit
At this time, Harry looked at Matt on the side, "Vice Dean Parma, it's your turn."Matt stood there with a look of embarrassment on his face.Matt was dressed in a gray blue jacket, a pair of sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers, looking casual.It was as if someone had forcibly dragged him over here while he was doing his morning running.Hearing how Harry called Matt, all the reporters under the stage suddenly understood who Matt was. All of a sudden, they all aimed the cameras at him!Matt lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists. The conference room was not hot at all. But I could clearly see a layer of sweat on Matt's forehead."Vice Dean Parma?" Harry raised his voice, called out once again, and handed Matt the microphone he had used just now.This time, Matt finally moved. He raised his hand to take the microphone over and looked at the audience with a dull look. Then he opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind, "I'm Matt Parma. I testify that what Alina said just n
