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 theiIt’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
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
“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
*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
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
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
“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
