Two days had passed since the incident between Jingfei and Hugo. The man never showed his face again in front of Jingfei, at the apartment building or even in the restaurant, which the staffs had gotten more curious and worried since none of them had any contact even Jingfei and Alexander ddin’t know his whereabouts.
Currently, Jingfei is making some desserts for lunch. She asked Anais to prepare something for the children who were having conversations with the other employees.Lihua along with Li Wei and the children came to the restaurant even though they were still closed for the moment.“Chef Xu, I can take care of this. You go and entertain your friends. The children have been asking for you, they are quite adorable.” Anais squeezed the her hands as she was thrilled at the cuteness of the tree children.“I have memorized and practice your recipe book chef and even did a taste test with our employees.” Anais proudly informedHugo just looked at the woman’s back as she entered the restaurant... He couldn’t do anytging to stop her nor pull her away from the place. He just stood on the smae spot motionless. Once Nymphis entered the restaurant, all eyes landed on her. They where baffled at the woman who clearly entered without reading the sign on the door... Still Closed... But Jingfei had her eyes open wide when she saw the woman’s face.. She quickly strode towards the woman to attend to her. “Ms. Nymphis! What are you doing here? I’m sorry but we are still close at the moment.” “Oh no! It’s alright! I am here for you. Can I speak with you for a moment?” Nymphis uttered before her gaze landed on Lucien, who was squinting his eyes as he looked at the woman-who just appeared.Didn’t know what Nymphis wanted to with her, Jingfei nodded her head, “Then please come with me.” She then guided Nymphis towards the lounge
“Oceane that’s enough! You don’t have to say that.” Lucien scolded the woman. He didn’t like what she said and how she acted in front of everyone. “I was just telling the truth.” The woman refuted back to her fiance. “Then you shouldn’t have told it. That was quite childish of you to say. Ms. Xu still wouldn’t know that I have known Mr. Zhou since I also don’t have any idea that they now each other.” Lucien pointed out his stand. He was also quite baffled when he heard that Lihua is Zhou Biming’s sister and Jingfei knows him. Oceane purses her lips. She was quite embarassed at what Lucien did to her. She just goanced at both Lihua and Jingfei as she said her sorry to the both of them. The adults stayed quite as the atmosphere had become weird. Alexander just keep his mouth shut as he didn’t know what to say. “Mommy! When will Uncle Hugo come to our house again? He
Nymphis smiled at the words that Lucien just said. “Alright if that is your final decision. No changing! I will send her a message. This will be your meeting place tomorrow! I will be away with my boyfriend so you better behave your ass and just speak with her. Don’t mess up this time, Lucien. I am already giving you this opportunity so control yourself.” Nymphis reminded the man and Lucien just nodded his head. The woman turned her back on the man and took her phone that she throw on the long sofa. She opened her messages and typed the address of her house. Reading it omce again before she sent the message to Jingfei. “The night is still long would you like to have some drinks with me?” The woman uttered. “I think I need that.” Lucien uttered and Nymphis quickly locked her arms on the man, “Good luck to you, Brother Lucien.” She teased and the man just nudged his arm on the woman’s side. The night w
Five minutes have passed since Nymphis left the anxious Lucien alone in the living room. It’s been five minutes that the man had been feeling his hands and feet sweat in nervousness. He could feel all the liquid he took last night travelled from his stomach to his throat. He didn’t even mind that he hadn’t taken any solid food yet.He anxiously waited for the woman to arrived and when he heard the sound of an engine slowly dying down, Lucien stood up as he could feel his hands getting colder. All the preparation and monologue he had been preparing while making himself look presentable seems to disappear like a bubble. He couldn’t remember a single word he thought.The sound of a heels clakcing against the tiled floor gets louder and closer. Lucien couldn’t do anything but get frozen on his feet as his heartbeat punds faster and louder like a drum- getting on the exciting part of the festival. At the center of the enormous
Lihua pursed her lips as she looked at her bestfriend with sorrow. She could see the pale-looking woman staring at her with a muddled and questioning expression. Jingfei’s trembling lips is clearly visible to Lihua. “Wh-what are you talking about, Huahua?” Jingfei’s voice trembled as she asked her best friend for the second time. She wanted to confirm if she heard clearly what Lihua said a couple of seconds ago. But seeing her best friend keeping her mouth shut, Jingfei shifted her gaze on her mother who was just standing behind Lihua. “Mom! What chld is she talking about?” Her voice was low and begging that it was completely inaudible if everyone didn’t stayed quiet inside the room. Silence surrounded the private room where Jingfei is staying. Madame Xu closed her eyes and slowly walked towards her daughter. She reached her hand out and embrace her daughter tightly, “I’m sorry! I&
Lucien slowly stood up, his hand was still gripping tightly on the woman’s hand. Seeing him slowly sitting down beside her, Jingfei moved a little. She even grabbed her hand back from the man’s grip. “Speak!” Jingfei looked at the man with a serious expression as she waited for him to say a word. The man cleared his throat before lowering his head. Lucien played with his fingers as he organized his thoughts. This will be the first time that he will tell her about his childhood days. He had decided to tell everything from the very beginning of his childhood. “Me and Hugo Alarie- we don’t have a relationship that is smilar to other siblings out there. We are brothers, in fact we are twins and living in the same rooftop but we are practically strangers to each other. At the very young age, I am a prisoner of our own house. I was a sickly child and so my parents attention were on me. I have no idea that everytime Hugo sees thei
It’s been two weeks since Jingfei went to Nymphis’ place to have a word with Li Guang but as soon as the man stopped from crying- after explaining to her, she quickly got on her feet and fled the house. She didn’t gave him words as she just kept thinking on leaving that place. Both her mind and heart were in turmoil as she couldn’t process properly what the man just reveal to her. She had so many questions to ask him but just the sight of him bring backs the memories she wanted to forget. “Jingfei! You’re spacing out again!” Alexanderia tapped the woman’s shoulder to get her attention. This is her second time doing it. Jingfei raised her head and glance at the young lady, “I’m sorry. I was just thinking of something.” “Are you sure that you are fine? We can postpone this if you want.” Alexandria stared at her with worries. “Yeah, I’m fine. No! I want to do this now. It&r
Just like what Alexandria promised, she arrived outside of her brother’s office at one o'clock sharp and with a box of cupcake on her left hand. She didn’t care to knock on the door and just let herself barged inside.Alexander and Giovanni both glance at the door’s direction when they heard the clicking sound of the door’s lock. “You’re here.” Alexander uttered as he quickly hid something under his table.“I told you that I will be here at exactly one o’clock. Are you two busy?” Alexandria slightly titled her body and head to see what they are doing before making herself seat comfortably on the sofa. “No! I called Giovanni to cancel all my appointment for today. It’s not that important anyways.” Giovanni took a slight peek on his boss with one brow arched. “Good! Can we leave now?” Alexandria uttered while stealing glances at the man standing beside her brother’s ta
