After calculating the days, I realized that I hadn't seen Dave for a long time.During this period, I originally thought I had gotten him out of my mind However, hearing that he was missing now, my heart was in a mess.I couldn't be at ease in the slightest.In spite of knowing that Oogway would be disappointed, I said, "I'm sorry. Feeling a little tired today, I want to go to bed already."I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Dave and it would be unfair to Oogway if I face him with Dave on my mind.I had to be alone for a while.Oogway, who always knew me so well, looked at me with an indifferent look in his eyes, raised his right index finger, and touched my cheek with it, smiling bitterly, "Are you worried about him?""I... ""I know you are worried about him. You want to go out, thinking you may be able to find him, right?"Oogway exposed all my thoughts.For a moment, I was like a thief being caught on the scene. Hanging my head, I couldn't say a word.I dared not look into
When Marie and I participated in the design competition in the resort back then, she knew the relationship between Dave and I.I hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Then is there any update about him? For example, did Dave go abroad with his passport?"Marie shook her head and said, "No. It seems that it is because there is no news or channels that the Mitaka Family suspects that he has been kidnapped.""Kidnapping?" I was even more nervous.However, when it came to this matter, I indeed couldn't do anything about it."Based on my husband and his colleagues' speculation, because Mitaka Group encountered an accident before with their investments, the fire and the documents that disappeared, the stock price of Mitaka Group dropped. If the public knew Dave's situation, Mitaka Group would basically be doomed."Hearing Marie's words, I was extremely nervous.Dave was quite likely to have been schemed against and kidnapped.Ding!Ding!Ding!After hearing Marie's words, I look
Looking at the blue sky and clouds outside the window, I said, "I eavesdropped on his conversation over the phone just now. It seems that everything happening to Mitaka Group is related to him, including the Al incident and Dave's disappearance...""What?" Marie was stunned, "How is that possible? Isn't he just the dean of Light Hospital?""No, he's also the dean of the biggest Hospital in the City. I don't know how much property he has in his name. Dave told me a long time ago that I should stay away from Oogway, saying he's not a simple person. But I didn't take his words seriously..." I paused and added, "Regarding the incident this time, Oogway is afraid that the engagement ceremony can't be held normally. So he snatched the AI documents and used it to threaten Dave."No way would I accept that the reason why everything happened was because of me."Well... How can it be? If that's the case, Oogway..." Marie paused for a moment before saying, "He is so unfathomable.""Unfathomable?
Oogway's words deeply hurt my heart. However, I was very glad that Dave's wife was Teresa Michaelson.Fortunately, Teresa would help him. If it were me, I couldn't help him with anything.It wasn't until I got out of Oogway's car and watched him drive away that I no longer pretended to be at ease.I, who wasn't stupid, knew that even though Oogway had talked for a long time, he didn't point out the real issue.The real issue was that Dave was missing.Everything that Oogway had said had nothing to do with Dave's disappearance.What mattered now was that Dave was missing.The answer to where Dave had gone was the key to the whole issue.In front of me, a taxi pulled up on the roadside with a student getting out of it. Seeing that the taxi driver would drive away, I got into the taxi without deliberation.The driver asked, "Where are you going?"I was stunned.Yes, where am I going?I have been thinking about finding Dave just now. But where would Dave be? If the entire Mitaka Family f
Dave's words stunned me.I didn't expect him to ask me that.After hesitating for a moment, I said, "I... I'm also worried about you."Hearing what I said, Dave slightly curled up the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, saying, "But, now, I am not worthy of your concern at all.""What on earth happened?"Only after I pulled him with my full strength did I succeed in pulling him up.Sitting on the ground, he looked at me. He used to have an indifferent and firm look in his eyes but now, his eyes looked blurred and he looked like a wandering man who had lost his soul.Seeing him like this, I suddenly felt extremely distressed for him.Dave looked up at me, got up, and took my hand, saying, "Come here."As he spoke, he pulled me to sit on the couch."What the hell is going on?"I followed him to the sofa and continued to ask.Looking at me with a slightly indifferent look in his eyes, he smiled bitterly and bowed his head, "Nothing.""You're lying!" I looked at him nervously.Without
I looked at Dave nervously and asked with some guilt, "Does this mean that Oogway… Oogway Mitaka threatened Grandpa Jamin?"Originally, I was used to calling Oogway by his first name. In the middle of my words, I changed how I addressed him.Dave nodded slightly, "Sort of. After all, Uncle Oogway is just his illegitimate son who has been living outside for more than two decades. My grandfather only feels a little guilty about him. It's not like he has strong feelings for him.""Then I'd better go back. As long as I am engaged to him, he'll stop messing with the Mitaka Group, won't he?"As long as Oogway and I were engaged, he wouldn't harm the Mitaka Group. In that case, Dave would be in a better situation.Thinking about this, I stood up immediately. However, as soon as I stepped up, Dave pressed me back onto his lap. Looking at me with resentment in his eyes, he asked, "Are you really going to marry him?"Dave's words stunned me.Yes, I'll have to marry Oogway for real. If I was al
The door to Oogway's apartment was half open.I pushed the door open and went in directly.Oogway sat on the sofa with a medicine kit and drugs on the tea table."Well, you are...""I am organizing the medicine kit." As Oogway spoke, he took out a bottle of ointment from the medicine kit, patted the sofa next to him, and said, "Come on. Sit here.""Okay."I did as he said obediently.Based on what Dave had said, the way I thought it, there was a 90% probability that I would marry Oogway. In that case, instead of resisting, I'd better accept it so Oogway probably wouldn't hurt Bryan.Oogway removed my slippers and checked my ankles respectively, saying, "It seems you are fine.""Yes." I nodded, "You're too concerned about me."Raising his head, he looked at me, "I will always put your business as top priority. No matter how petty it is, I will prioritize it."His words made me nervous.I looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Oogway, do you... do you love me?"Oogway was st
Yesterday, I had given Dave my number.I hesitated for a moment before picking up, "What's the matter?"Over the phone, Dave was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I want to let you know that I have gone back to the company and that I may be busy in the next few days. So I probably can't contact you. I will contact you after the advertising auction is over."After the advertising auction..."Okay, I'll wait for your call."Although I said so verbally, I wasn't sure if Dave and I would meet again after the auction.After I hung up, Marie asked, "Why don't we name our studio Cadling?"Marie then picked up a pen and casually drew something on the paper, saying, "And based on this name, we can design a logo for it with ease.""I agree."I raised my hand and showed my support.In fact, at this time, I had other things on my mind. Regarding the name of the studio, I would let Marie call the shots.That afternoon, Marie and I went to the Design Company. We told the CEO about our studi
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
I wiped his face twice. Seeing that he didn't move, I threw a pack of tissue to him and said, "Wipe your sweat by yourself."Only after saying that did I realize that it was probably because of the sunset or something else that Jason's originally fair face had turned somewhat red.Even his ears turned red.He picked up the tissue, wiped his face by himself, and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see my roommates.""Your roommates?" I was stunned.He smiled and said, "Yes, my classmates were there today. Knowing that I knew you, they were all very jealous of me and insisted that I introduce you to them!""... Okay, then."I wasn't interested in knowing kids. However, hearing that they were Jason's classmates, I agreed.Jason walked beside me. He was very tall. Maybe it was because he ran all the way here just now that I could sense the faint smell of sweat.On the way, a few girls saw us and ran over.They all looked at me at the same time with hostility on their faces.One of them sp
