At the entrance of the hospital while waiting for a taxi, Dave appeared in front of me."Mr. Mitaka, is there anything else?" I looked up at him, trying to make my voice distant.Dave pulled me with one hand and took out a necklace from the pocket of his trousers with the other.He then stretched out his hand. I lowered my head and saw a pink diamond necklace in it. It was the birthday present he had gotten for me.My heart ached as I said, "Mr. Mitaka, you don't have to do this."Dave only said two words, "Take it." Then he stuffed the necklace into my hands roughly.It was the first time I was seeing the necklace during the day.The golden sunlight set against the pink diamond necklace making it dazzling. Under the golden sunlight, the necklace was shining brightly, especially the pink heart shaped diamond. It looked so perfect, making others lust for it.I looked at the necklace for a moment and tried returning it, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mitaka. It is too expensive and not suitable for m

I needed someone to bail me out but whom can I turn to?Kim?She just posted on her Facebook account earlier and she was in Ghana now.Who else can I turn to?Sitting in the guard room of the police station, I looked at the watch, which turned around little by little, on the wall outside.It was eleven o'clock in the evening.When I thought I would be detained like this, the police came over, "Reed Defiant, you got bailed. You can leave now.""Who is it?"I was so surprised. When I came to the door of the police station, I saw a man standing there in a light colored suit under the somewhat cool moonlight.When he saw me coming out, he waved to me.The sky was dark and I didn't recognize who it was but when I got closer, "Desmond Gaddy? Why are you here?"How is it him?"Why am I here? Do you think I would have loved to pick you up in the middle of the night?"Desmond's expression was similar to mine. He took out the key of his car, pointed at a high end sports car not far away, and

More than a week had passed and I hadn't even drafted my design work yet. Fortunately, Comfort had booked an escort room in the hospital so I stayed there with my laptop to work.After checking on Judith, I went back to work on my drawings. However, a day later, I received a summon letter from court, informing me the case of Judith's surgery had been pushed to court.When I saw the summon letter, I genuinely realized I was about to fight another 'battle' again.In desperation, I had to call Kim, asking if she knew any lawyer.Kim had a lot of connections. When I told her about this matter, she sent me the name of a law firm, a lawyer, and his phone number.It was just that she was abroad now and couldn't be with me.The law firm referred by Kim was called Nommy Law Firm. Although I had searched for this law firm on the internet before, I dared not call them at all.This time, it was Kim who introduced them to me. I hesitated for a moment and decided to try my luck.I took a leave from

I was a little hesitant however, knowing I hadn't found a lawyer yet, I knew if it was Oogway who introduced a lawyer to me, they probably would give me a discount so I said shamelessly, "Yes, I haven't gotten one yet."Oogway called me in. Only then did I know that this lawyer was Harry Necton, an ace lawyer of Nommy Law Firm.After entering the office, I told Harry the situation and he nodded."No problem. I can take this case.""Then regarding the lawyer's fee..." I didn't expect Harry to agree but then again I was afraid he would charge a high price.Before Harry could respond, Oogway said first, "I give you so much money every year and I never turn to you at all some times. This case is on the hospital.""You don't have to." I said first.Harry glanced at Oogway and hesitated for a moment then said, "It's the first time I've seen you make a request for a woman. For the sake of you being an old bachelor, I'll count it as your case this time."I wanted to oppose however, Oogway an

Standing at the side, Haick watched me disregard his drawing and opened a new interface to work on.He smiled bitterly, "You! You indeed haven't changed at all. I saved the previous version of your drawing for you.""Thank you." Following his words, I found the previous version of my drawing.If he hadn't saved the previous version of my drawing, I would have drawn a new one or give up the design competition. Never would I have taken part in the contest with the drawing designed by him. Comparing his modified version with mine, I felt there was indeed a lot of gap between his and mine.Staring at what I had drawn, I smiled bitterly, "I'd better delete it and figure out a new one."Haick shook his head and sat next to me, "Come on. Let me tell you where your problem lies."That night, Haick gave me a lot of guidance.Although I didn't have time to modify the drawing, I recorded his instructions one by one.It wasn't until he finished talking that I remembered to ask, "Why are you here

A week later, the results came out.There was a site for the design competition. When I logged onto the site, I found that I was ranked at 52. However, only the top 50 can pass the preliminary contest.I, who wasn't satisfied with my own work, knew I probably wouldn't pass the preliminary contest. Even so, when I saw I could have passed if I had beaten the other two contestants, I was still a little disappointed.Hearing many others congratulating Amelia, I scrolled up the page and found she ranked 32nd.Amelia walked to me and looked at my web page. She then said with a smile, "Reed Defiant, you are the most diligent one on usual days. Most customers write letters to our company, praising you. Why couldn't you even pass the preliminary session?""I am not as good as you.""Hahaha, you indeed have self awareness." Amelia returned to her seat while laughing.Not long after, I received a text message from Haick, "I saw the result of the preliminary contest. Sorry, I didn't give you the

Desmond put out the car engine and got out of the car. He looked at me with admiration, "Well done! Reed. I didn't expect you to be this powerful!""500,000 dollars." I spread my hand out to him."I surely meant my words." Desmond happily ran to the car planning to write a cheque.Originally I was joking but I didn't expect Desmond would take my words seriously and hand me a cheque.I simply couldn't imagine what a rich man's world would be like.Seeing that he tore off the cheque and wanted to give it to me, I waved my hand, "I don't want it. I'll be grateful to you if you don't pester Kim in the future."After that, I walked in the direction of the law firm.As soon as I took two steps forward, I saw Harry and Oogway standing at the entrance of the law firm looking at me.Harry first clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be such a bold and scheming person, Miss Defiant.""No, no."I was just dealing with someone shameless in a rogue way. I didn't expect t

Dave took me to the top floor of Mensvic Restaurant.The night lights were set up around us.The weather wasn't hot in April. As the cold breeze blew gently past us, I felt good.Dave asked me to order the dishes but I still said, "Up to you."Soon, the dishes were served.Admittedly, the dishes in Mensvic Restaurant were indeed delicious. After we finished the main course and dessert was served, I looked up at Dave, "Let's have a good talk."Dave interrupted me, "Have a taste of this first. The dessert here is also very delicious."His expression was gentle but I felt he seemed to be interrupting me on purpose.I lowered my head, looked at the cake in front of me, and took a bite of it. At first, it tasted bitter, then, it was sweet.It was just like the relationship between Dave and I.As I recalled the past, I found that every step I had taken seemed to leave me with pain and scars. However, for no reason, I always faintly remembered a wonderful memory.I took a bite of the cake an

When I saw this line of words, I finally heard footsteps.Looking up, I saw Jason on the second floor of the viewing platform with a teddy bear, which was almost as tall as him, and then he began to get down.As he walked, he said, "Alina, I like you. I know you think I'm young, but I can grow up for you. I didn't know the feeling of liking someone before, but after I have seen you and got along with you for some time, I know what it is like.""I want to see you all the time. I want to share my happiness with you at the first moment. I'm very happy as long as I can be at your side, I..."When he said this, he had already walked down. However, when he saw that I was crying, he was stunned and said nervously, "Alina, why are you crying? I..."I didn't wait for him to finish. I got angry.I stood up, walked over, and raised my hand."Pa!" A slap landed on his face. I uttered, "Boring!"Then I turned around and left.Jason quickly put down the big bear in his hand and chased after me.He

It took me about 20 minutes to get to the Viennese Restaurant.I looked at my watch and found that it was exactly seven o'clock.I stopped my car at the intersection and looked over. There was no car in the parking place of the restaurant, and several waiters were standing in a row at the door.Dave had booked the entire venue again.When I was about to start the car and move in...My phone rang.I looked down and found that it was Jason.I picked up the phone. Just as I was about to speak, it was noisy at the other end of the line and a voice came from there, "Is this Miss Alina?""What happened?"I was a little surprised because the voice on the other side of the phone was very loud as if he was very anxious.Also, that was not the voice of Jason."I'm Jason's roommate, Steve. Do you remember me?"Steve? Well, it seemed one of Jason's three roommates was called that.I admitted, "Yes.""Can you come to our school now? Something happened to Jason!" Steve said."What's wrong?"Hearing

When we got in the car, he sat in the copilot seat of my car, and I drove back.All the way, he was giggling.I looked at the rearview mirror on my right several times and saw that he was smiling. I was a little speechless and asked him, "What's wrong? Have you lost your mind because of the fever?""No, I'm just happy." Answered Jason.I shook my head, "You are really silly. How could you be happy when you are sick?"Jason said nothing.The car drove home.I went upstairs to see Bryan. Fortunately, he was not awake, so I was relieved.I watched as Jason took his medicine and took a quilt for him before I went to bed.In the next two days, Jason got injections on time before returning to school.When he was about to leave, I touched the boy's forehead to make sure that he had recovered from the fever. I also prepared a lot of ordinary medicine for him and reminded him to take pills on time.When he left, I recalled and felt I was nagging as if I were an old mother.Life still continue

"Jason," I interrupted him, "You'll have your own life in the future at last. When you meet a girl of your own, you can take her out on weekends or hang out with friends. You don't have to help me all the time. And then Bryan will be older, he can take care of himself and doesn't need others to help."I had to make it clear to him. Otherwise, I was afraid that he would go further and further on a road that should not belong to him.Jason lowered his eyes and said nothing.He turned to face the gas stove and said, "The meal is almost ready."When I looked at him, I only felt that the boy's face was blushed scarlet, and it was somewhat abnormal.That night, after dinner, Jason played with Bryan for a while. At 9:30 p.m., I brought Bryan upstairs to sleep.Bryan didn't fall asleep until I told him two extra stories.After he was asleep, I tiptoed out of his room.I thought it was time to talk to Jason. I was considering that I would not ask him to come since the winter vacation ended.W

After taking a shower, I wore his bathrobe, and Dave was only wrapped in a bath towel. He sat on the edge of the bed, hugged me, and said in a very gentle voice, "I miss you so much."When he said this, a kiss fell on my forehead.Then, he continued, "I miss you so much every day." A kiss landed between my brows."I miss you when I get up in the morning, and I miss you when I have my meetings. I miss you when I am attending a banquet. When I close my eyes, I can't fall asleep."Every time he said he missed me, he would give me a kiss.As I stood in front of him, my heart beat faster and faster.Finally, I hooked my arm around the man's neck and kissed him back. Then, I pouted and said, "Unfortunately, I don't miss you. I work hard every day and make myself very busy so that I don't have time to miss you."Hearing what I said, he was not angry, "You don't have time to miss me, but it's not that you don't miss me.""Is there any difference?""Yes, there is." Dave turned over and put me

The boy's back was wrapped in the night sky. Even if he was wearing a down jacket, he looked very thin and lonely.My car was parked in the university.Dave and I also went to the direction of the school. Dave had been holding me in his arms. When we were about to arrive at the school gate, he suddenly asked me, "You don't like him, do you?""What? ""That boy just now. The little boy who wants to fight for my woman's favors with me."There was sort of childishness in Dave's voice.I cast him a sidelong glance and wondered why he was so different today.It had been ten years since the first time I met him after I came of age. I'd never seen Dave like this before.He was too childish to describe!I said incredulously, "Dave, you really haven't been bewitched?""Yes, maybe." Dave's arms around me tightened a little more, "I think I was bewitched by you."Dave had ever been drunk before, but was he like this then?Not in my memory.Finally, we came to the car. He looked at my car and fr

Hearing this, the president looked at me and said, "Alina, please don't leave, okay?"Alas, the president is about the same age as Kelvin.As he had requested, I couldn't refuse for saving his face.I had no choice but only found an excuse, "Well, president, I'm joking with him. I'll just go to the washroom.""Then I have to go to the washroom." Dave immediately said."Then I won't go.""Oh, I suddenly don't want to go either."Dave'll say whatever I had said.The president looked at the two of us and seemed to have seen some ins and outs, "All right, you two should sit together."I had to sit back in my original seat, and Dave followed me. I sat down, and then he sat down.He tag along with me every where I went.The surrounding people were all looking at him, but he didn't mind at all.His eyes were always looking at me, and he refused to leave for a second.I kept my head down, eating without looking at him.Dave didn't seem to mind at all.During the time, people kept coming over

The principal walked up to the stage again and said, "During the anniversary this year, Mr. Mitaka of the Mitaka Group donated money and built a library for us." Hearing this, I suddenly became nervous.Thinking of the purpose of the banquet today, I had a bad feeling.Sure enough, the principal then said, "Today, Mr. Mitaka took time out of his busy schedule to come to our reciprocal banquet. For this, please applaud warmly to welcome Mr. Mitaka as he gives a speech to us on the stage!"As expected, the principal spoke in a bureaucratic tone.At this time, everyone applauded. I looked around, only to find that unexpectedly, Dave was sitting at the forefront table. And I was sitting at the most rear table.He, who was too far away from me just now, was surrounded by others. So I didn't see him.Dave slowly stepped onto the stage and took the microphone over from the headmaster, speaking to the microphone in a magnetic and pleasant voice, "Fine Arts Academy is the oldest fine arts scho

"Oh, you're right, you're right. To be trusted by a girlfriend can be more motivated!" A boy in glasses nodded."Alina, I know that you run a studio. Are you recruiting someone?""Yes! Please recruit me! I can change the light bulbs, repair the toilet, and fix the computer and the hard drive. I can even install anti virus software as well we reorganize the laptop! I'm good at dealing with people as well!""I... I... I... I got a perfect score in a French and Japanese exam. Do you need an interpreter?""Phew! Do you speak Japanese well? We know how your Japanese is better than anyone else, okay? You learned it from Japanese porn movies! Aren't they all about making love? There are no lines in them!"These three boys were indeed amazing.As long as any one of them initiated a topic, the other two could perfectly fit in the conversation.Hearing their words, I couldn't stop laughing.Sitting in the milky tea shop, I felt like I was listening to a cross talk.Time passed by quickly. Then
