Once Jingfei got inside of her unit, she quickly tossed her bag on the couch and placed the paper bag on top of the table.
Jingfei took all the containers from the paper bag and arranged them inside the refrigerator. Once she was done, she then walked towards Kuro’s cage, to check what he was doing and saw that the tomcat was still asleep. She opened his cage and took his cat bowl and filled it with his food. After making sure that Kuro’s containers are filled with cat food and water.
Jingfei stood up and then made her way towards the living room, tossed herself on the long couch and grabbed her bag using her foot.
“Ugh” She groaned when she successfully lifted her heavy bag towards her. Jingfei grabbed it and took her phone out and tried to s
The sun has not yet appeared into the sky but Jingfei was already awake and was complaining at the sharp pain she felt on her head. “Damn it! Why was I not able to sleep yesterday.” She complained again for the third time as she slowly stood up and walked towards her room’s door when it suddenly opened that startled Jingfe and caused her to almost lose her balance but a strong arm immediately caught her for support.“Are you okay sweetie?” Alexander worriesly asked Jingfei as he helped her stand back on her feet.“I’m fine! I was startled when the door suddenly opened, by the way? What are you doing here so early in the morning? It’s still four o’clock and we were supposed to leave the unit at six.” She uttered while holding her head as the sharp pain once again disturbed her.
The twelve minutes walk from Jingfei’s cottage to the main building became a twenty minutes walk as they kept on stopping since Jingfei wanted to take some photos of the scenery which she finds attractive.Alexander held Jingfei’s hand when he caught sight of Lucien walking all alone at the shore. “Darling, come on. We will have a walk later and you can take as many pictures as you want but first let’s return this to the kitchen. Alright?” Alexander kept on glancing at Lucien’s direction and the man had also caught sight of them.But before Lucien could reach them, the two couples went inside of the main building and as soon as they reached the lobby, Jingfei’s eyes glistened and she could feel her mouth watering at the sight of the buffet in front of her.&ldquo
The photoshoot resumed and Kuro, who was with Alexandria a while ago is now in Jingfei’s arms. The furry animal was laying on his mother’s chest and was fast asleep. “Should I return him to the cottage?” Alexander asked as he looked at Kuro. Jingfei, staring at her son, uttered. “Let him sleep for a while. I think he got tired while walking on the sand for the first time.” Alexander gave a nod and the two couples stared at the busy people not far from where they were. Lucien, who was among those busy people, had spotted Jingfei and wanted to approach her but he was stuck with his team who needed him on the set for approval of the photos. "Monsieur Lucien!" Alexandria formally called Lucien's atten
Once Alexander got back to where Jingfei was. Kuro was tucked in his right arm while he was holding a bottle of water in his left hand.He placed Kuro down on Jingfei's stomach and handed the bottle of water to the woman, "Here, darling!" He uttered and Jingfei quickly grabbed the bottle."Nice timing! I'm absolutely parched!" She spoke and gulped the water.Alexander sat down next to Jingfei, "Do you want to go swimming now? The sun's not that hot anymore." He asked while taking the bottle from her."Shall we? Let's go then?" The woman stood up from the hammock and took her dress in front of Alexander, who gulped at the sight of his woman.He abruptly stood up, "But I should get us some towels f
Wearing a royal blue flowy dress, her hair wrapped in a towel, Jingfei went out of the bathroom with a rug on her right hand.She raised her dress and kneel on the floor as she began wiping the floor. "I should- What are you doing, darling?" She raised her head and saw Alexander standing on the door."Can't you see, I'm wiping the floor!" She muttered and slowly pouted, "I should have dried my body first. Now I'm doing this extra work.""I can see that, Darling!" The man kneeled on one leg and snatched the rug from the woman's hand as he replaced it with a mug of hot choco, "Let me do this. Go and set up the table on the terrace. You'll miss the sunset!"Jingfei smiled and quickly raised her feet, "Thank you, baby!" She then pecked on Alexander's cheeks and hurried
Later that evening, Alexandria came back to Jingfei’s cottage along with Lucien and as soon as he caught sight of his cousin, Alexander’s expression turned sour. Quickly, Jingfei’s hand landed on his hand to calm the man.“Yes? Do you two want anything?” Jingfei asked and as she removed her hand from Alexander.Alexandria glanced at Lucien first before she spoke, “We want to invite you two for dinner. I know you two haven’t had your meal yet.”Jingfei’s gaze shifted on the man beside Alexandria, “I’m afraid to say this but we will decline your invitation. I and Alexander wanted to have our dinner at the nearby seafood restaurant we saw while coming her this morning.” Jingfei politely answered and she could see different emotions resurfacing in the man’s eyes.Frowning at why his sister kept on glancing at Lucien, Alexander stood up and went closer t
Heavy rain was pouring outside, the sky was tinted with grayish hue and Jingfei could barely see her surroundings as she stared at the glass window.“I think we can’t go skiing today.” Alexander, sitting on Jingfei’s bed while hugging her pillow, muttered. He then reached for the hot cocoa that Jingfei had prepared for him a while ago before the rain poured heavily.The woman pouted as she sat down the chair, “I was expecting to have some fun activities today.” Mumbling as she took a glance at Alexander.“Let us just pray that the rain will stop any minute by now so we can still do some of the activities you want to try. Is your waist still aching?” He asked, eyeing the woman who's still sulking at the sudden pouring of the rain.
Later that afternoon, after the rain had stopped. Jingfei had finally gotten out of her cottage, the cold breeze and the salty smell from the ocean met her. The tree glistened as the sun rays hit its wet leaves.“Honey, wait for me!” Alexander shouted as he was returning the board that they had used in order to kill their boredom as they waited for the rain to stop.“Come on! We still need to check from the reception area if they have some activities open for us to enjoy.” Jingfei, tying her shoelace, shouted back. She was dressed in blue sweatpants and paired it with a fitted black shirt that was hidden underneath her blue sweatshirt that Alexander had insisted for her to wear.The woman looked back at the door when she heard a click sound. Alexander, who was also dressed i
A year had passed since I received the letter that Alexandria handed to me during the chaotic wedding day of Oceane and Hugo. I finally got to call that man by his real name. It’s also been a year and a half since he didn’t came back from his so-called business trip. After reading the content of the letter, my whole world almost collapsed. I wanted to call him but I have no means to do so since his number was no longer available as well as is his email and social media accounts. They were all deactivated and deleted. Not even his family and close friends were able to contact him and Giovanni. The sound of the sea as the waves gone back and forth from the shore back to the ocean gave calmness to my soul as I stared at the fiery red with a tinge of yellow and orange hue sky, waiting for the sun to set and wishing that tomorrow... a bright new day... he would comeback to me.“You forgot your shawl again!” I felt a warm thick cloth hanged o
A week had already passed since Alexander went to a business trip. He was supposed to come back after three days but... not his body nor shadow have appeared. Jingfei had become worried that something might happened to him and tried to contact him but the number he was using was no longer available. She tried asking for Alexandria and his parents but none of them were able to reach him as well. Madame Heroux tried to pull some strings to ask the airport for his flight details but she only got the information of his three days flight and no further information aside from that. “You really don’t have any means to contact yor brother? It’s been a week since he left but no calls and messages or even emails come from him.” Jingfei mumbled as her eyes stayed focus on the huge flat screen.“Don’t worry about him. Alexander will comeback before Lucien and Oceane’s wedding the day after tomorrow. Maybe something had happened in
The soft mattress sunk as Alexander sat down beside Jingfei. The woman was giving him a glare while pulling the thick blanket to cover her naked body underneath. “What happened to your promise? We didn’t even finish packing your clothes.” Jingfei’s loud vocie echoed inside the man’s Alexander turned his head on the floor to see the scattered clothes of him and Jingfei. “Not that! Over there!” The woman pointed his piled clothes on top of the chair and the suitcase laying on the floor. Jingfei could feel her face burning when Alexander stared back at her with a playful look on his face. “We can just finish that later. Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy me pouning on top of you? My back stings right now, wife.” Alexander’s roared a laugh when the woman hid herself under the blanket. “Would you please stop laughing, Alexander!” Jingfei lowered the blanket as she took a peek on Alexander wh
“Did something happened at the company?” Lucien buckled his seltbelt first before taking a glance at the woman beside him. Nymphis started the car’s engine and had a glimpse of the rearview mirror. “She just said that the investors demanded for your attendance at the meeting. I almost forgot about the meeting as well.”“Was it about the expansion of the apparel store? Or the one where I invested in a movie?”“Both! I guess? You didn’t even consult me about that movie thing.” Jingfei sneered as she drove away from the mall’s parking lot.“It was an abrupt decision. I read the proposal from your study room and just affixed my signature. Sinclaire Wise will also be one of the cast so it won’t be a problem.”“She’s not even that good so could you please stop sponsoring my cousin’s projects?” A glint of irritation could be heard from the young lady’s voice
Her eyes slightly widened as her lips parted a bit. Jingfei didn’t expect that just after two weeks since that incident had happened, she will encounter him at the jewelry store where she is choosing her engagement ring. The memories of their meeting for the first time after seven years flashed like lightning on her head. She realized that she haven’t said what she wanted to say after remembering that she just left him after he explined everything. “Darling? Are you alright?” Alexander’s deep and gentle vocie got her back to her senses. She looked up to him and smiled, “Yes, I’m alright,” she reassurely uttered before shifting her gaze back to Nymphis and the real Lucien. She stood up and plitely questioned Nymphis who was apcing towards them. “It’s been a while. What are you doing here Miss Nymphis? Did you just got here?” “Yes indeed it’s been a while, Jingfei. And oh! We we
Jingfei was buckling her seatbelt when Alexander popped inside the driver seat. He just finished conversing with one of the head chefs. As he was wearing his seatbelt, he could feel the intense stare from the woman beside him. “What is it darling?” He turne his head to look at Jingfei whose lips were a bit extended into a pout. “You should have not announced it yet darling!” She exclaimed in a low tone, refering to their engagement.“Why? Did you not like that others knew about your proposal?” “That’s the case why I don’t want them yet to know that were engage since it was me who proposed. I am n-“Alexander reached for the woman’s hand when he saw her worried expression. “You don’t have to worry that you... a woman proposed to me. Yes we’ve grew up and knew that it is the man who asks the woman’s hand for marriage but I don’t care what would others say about y
*clink* *clink* *clink* The sound of the glass bottle colliding with each other echoed in the whole first floor of Nymphis’ house. Her blue platform heels halted in front of a wasted man laying on the cold floor. It’s already eight in the morning and like the scene she witnessed yesterday morning, the real Lucien was knocked off on the cold floor again.“Hah!” A breathy sight escape from the young lady’s lips and without hesistation, Nymphis kicked the man with all her might. Not minding if he would scream in pian but she doubt that he could still feel pain.“Wake up! Are you planning to kill your liver and other organs, or what?” Her voice echoed and Lucien could only groan not because of the pain inflicted by Nymphis but because of his throbbing head. Folding her arms together and resting it on her chest, Nymphis tilted her body a little bit to have a clear look on Lucien’s wasted face. “Do you still
“Are you alright, Alexander?” Tilting her head, Jingfei asked when the man didn’t give her an answer.“Why are you standing in front of your door and dressed like that? Elite told me that you are not feeling well.” The woman’s lips curved upwards, she chuckled at what the man said. “I’m probably sick but not from what Alexandria have told you. Here-” Jingfei handed a black long rectangular cloth to the man, “wear this and don’t try to peek at my back. Just look at me as you pair your eyes with that.” Alexander confusedly stared at the woman as he grabbed the long cloth. As what Jingfei had instructed him, he paired his eyes without even taking his gaze on her lovely face. “Why am I getting blindfolded today.” He mumbled as the image of his sister doing the same thing poppes to his mind. “How many finger I’m having on air right now?” The woman raised three of h
Alexander firmly stared at the woman beside him. “What nonsense are you spouting?” His eyes almost squinting and a crease on his forehead was visible.“I’m not spouting nonsense. I’m telling you the truth! Before you go to your business trip. You’ll hear her explanation. I won’t tell you everything because it’s not my business to tell it to you after all. I was just giving you hints so you’ll open that godd*amn eyes of yours and see that Jingfei truly loves you. You better go see your doctor and get some treatment once you know things. And by the way, when are you leaving?” Alexander’s face was still filled with confusion but nonetheless he still answered his sister. “The day after tomorrow.” Taking one cupcake from the box. Alexandria briefly looked at her brother before shifting her whole body towards the direction of the view that overlooks both trees and the city. Clasping both her han
