Once they were inside the store, an old man immediately surprised Alexander with a tight embrace, “How are you, young man? It’s been awhile since I last saw you.” The old man uttered as he patted Alexander back.
Alexander also hugged the old man back and separated to face him, “Yes it is. How are you Grandpa Raphael? I see that you are still kicking in making pots.” He jokes while taking a glimpse at the machine which has wet fresh mud on top of it.
“Of course, I could still make pots. I’m still strong you silly child.” The old man uttered as his gaze landed on Jingfei- who was standing behind Alexander and was slightly covered with his huge frame. “And who is this beautiful young lady?” Grandpa Raphael questioned.
Jingfei stepped forwards and stood beside Alexander, “Good Afternoon, Monsieur. I am Xu
Once they got out from the pottery room, Alexander and Jingfei immediately spotted the two elder couples sitting in their dining area.Grandpa Raphael's wife saw the two of them, "Are you two done?"Jingfei smiled and nodded in response, "Yes we are but we were not able to put the handle on the cups. Can we ask your favor Grandpa?" The young lady uttered in a sweet and low voice."Don't worry! Once I am done with polishing and finishing your mugs, I'll immediately send it to you." The old man then glanced at Alexander, "Is your address still the same?""No Grandpa, I am already staying at my apartment building. I could write the address for you. May I ask for a piece of paper and a pen?""I'll ge
At the Villa not to far from the city Lucien-who was staring at his phone- clenched his fist as he felt an unpleasant familiar feeling when he saw Jingfei’s post. Earlier, while he was scrolling through his instagram account as he waits for Oceane to come down- a notification of several people whom he should follow appeared on the screen. And the first person’s profile picture was very familiar to him. Without any second thought, he instantly pressed the name and his thoughts were right, it was Jingfei's instagram account, he immediately followed the young lady and was a bit thankful and happy that her account was not set into private.
After five minutes of waiting and a total silence within their table, the chairs and table that Lucien had requested had finally arrived.The waiters, who were carrying the table placed it on the right left side of Jingfei. “Closer! Make sure that there is no gap in between.” Jingfei was shocked at what Lucien said, “Is he nuts? Can’t he see that his fiance doesn’t want to?” She thought while eyeing Oceane- who was looking at Lucien with an expression that cannot be painted.When the men where done, they immediately excused themselves and rushed to get out from the their area.Alexander clenched his fist when he saw Lucien sitting beside Jingfeinot even helping his fiance- Ocea
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
