Before Daybreak could appear, Lucien woke up with an unpleasant hangover. He rose abruptly from his bed that caused his head to throb, "Fuck!" He groaned in pain as he held onto his head and massaged his forehead and nose bridge.
"What the hell did I do?" He muttered while still massaging his nose bridge and something on the floor caught his attention, it was a bottle of whisky and two shot glass.
He frowned at the sight of the whisky bottle and a flash of memories from last night struck to him.
~Last Night~
When they entered the huge gate of the villa where Oceane was staying, Lucien Pulled the car in front of the villa.
"You can go first. I will just park the car." His distant voice made Oceane clenched her fist into b
At exactly eight o’clock, Hugo woke up and jumped off from his bed. He did a few stretching and fixed his bed hair while approaching the window to draw the thick curtains that keep all the sunlight from entering his room.Once the curtains were drawn, the scenery of the garden field with different kinds of flowers welcomed and fed his eyesight.Hugo shortly glanced at the garden and was about to turn around when he spotted two couples sitting in the pavilion.“What are they still doing here?” He mumbled and hurriedly strode towards the door. When he got out, he met one of their servants in the hallway, “Good Morning, Young Master Hugo. I see that you are already awake. I was about to- Why are my parents still here? They should have left a couple of hours ago.” Hugo cut the s
In the middle of changing her clothes, Jingfei heard a knock from her room’s door, “Knock! Knock! Knock! Chef Xu, are you done?” Anais spoke as she knocked again. Jingfei hurriedly wore her upper uniform and opened the door without minding that she hasn't brushed her hair again and her face is still bare. “Yes, Anais? What can I do for you?” Anais's face flushed as she realized that the young lady was still changing her uniform when she saw Jingfei’s collar. “I’m sorry for disturbing you while you're still changing but I just want to ask if I should prepare all the needed ingredients for the desserts. I don’t have anything to do.” “Oh! I think that we should prepare them at- Jingfei glanced at the wall clock near her couch- nine forty-five. It
Later that night, Jingfei sat on her bed as she dried her wet hair. She had just taken a shower as soon as she finished her dinner with Alexander and after washing the dishes, the young man had already gone home to give Jingfei the time to take a rest since they were bombarded with questions by their employees.As she was damping the towel on her hair, Jingfei’s phone suddenly rang and she saw her best friend’s name appeared on the screen. Jingfei hurriedly picked it up and answered.“Huahua! I’m so sorry that I wasn’t able to answer your call last night. I left my phone inside Alexander’s car and when I got home I wasn’t able to check my phone not until this morning.” Jingfei instantly spoke as she asked for forgiveness from her best friend. Last night was their first time that they weren’t able to ha
The very next day, Jingfei woke up as she felt someone staring at her, “Why are you staring at me?” With her groggy voice she asked. While hugging her huge pillow, the young lady turned around to the other side of the bed to face the young man with her eyes still closed.Jingfei felt a cold and huge hand on her forehead and with a calm and soothing deep voice, Alexander spoke, "Sleepyhead! You still have an important appointment today, you better get up and get ready now. It's already eight in the morning." Alexander gently patted the young lady's head.In a split second, Jingfei was already sitting on her bed and was staring at Alexander, "What time is it now, you say?" She questioned to confirm if her ears didn't trick her."I said it's already eight. Eight twenty to be precise." Alex
The two, who were still standing in front of the building, were attracting some of the employees passing around them.Lucien silently stared at the young lady before he slowly nodded his head, “Yes, I am! Why did you ask?”“Hah! I was scouted by one of your employees! It was a good thing that I declined!” Jingfei thought.“I didn’t know that I was facing a super big person.” Jingfei uttered. She knew that Lucien was someone powerful but she hadn’t the slightest idea that he was that powerful in the corporate world.De’Isle Company is one of the leading entertainment companies in the country that have been very famous for producing A-lister artists in th
As soon as the elevator stopped at the first floor, Jingfei hurriedly went out and she walked confidently towards the exit. Not minding the employees gaze, wondering why she went out from their CEO’s private elevator.As Jingfei was about to exit the building, she heard a very familiar voice, calling her name. “Feifei!”Jingfei turned around to see a young lady dressed in a purple dress, hugging her small figure.Alexandria halted in front of Jingfei, “I knew it was you when I saw your nice figure. So, what are you doing here?" The young lady asked."I had an appointment with Mr. Alarie." Jingfei briefly answered. "How about you? Do you have an appointment here also?" She questioned back while glancing at the employees who
Twenty minutes have passed since Alexandria left the cafe but the two couples, Jingfei and Alexander, were still at the cafe.Alexander was staring at his girlfriend, who ordered another mango cake, it was her third slice.“That’s your last one!” Alexander uttered while wiping the cream on Jingfei’s mouth.The young lady raised her right hand, “I swear!” She muttered and hurriedly shoved the remaining mango cake on her mouth. They were supposed to leave minutes ago when she finished her dessert but her stomach wanted more.Once Jingfei was done, she looked at Alexander, “No more cream?” She questioned while pointing at her mouth. The man shook his head as he held her hand, “No more. Now shall we get
It was already seven in the evening when the two couples arrived at the apartment building. They were stuck in heavy traffic after they stopped at the restaurant to inform their staff that they will be closing the restaurant for three days to give them time to rest and enjoy themselves. They also had their dinner outsideWhen they arrived at their floor, Jingfei took her bag from Alexander’s shoulder and got her key card as they walked towards their units.The two then halted in front of their units and Alexander glanced at Jingfei, “I will take a shower first then I’ll come over once I’m done. Would you like some snacks?” He questioned while swiping his key.“Nah! I have stocks here. See you later, baby.&rdquo
