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
The beaming sunlight reflected through the glass window and illuminated the whole bedroom of the young lady, who was already awake and sitting on her bed while staring at the naked upper body of a young man, who was sleeping soundly.Jingfei reached for the wooden stick that she uses to scratch her back and in one blow, hit the man’s back.“FUCK!” Alexander cursed as he leaped from the bed and Jingfei just stared at him like she did nothing while hiding the wooden stick under her blanket.“Owww! Feifei! Why did you hit me again? That one really hurts!” The young man groaned in pain as he complained while trying to r
At around ten in the morning, Alexander got back to Jingfei’s unit and when he reached the dining area, he saw his girlfriend sitting at the counter while staring at the bowl in front of her. He slowly approached her and gently tapped Jingfei's shoulder, "What the problem? You're spacing out!" He muttered and Jingfei flinched when Alexander spoke beside her. "Nothing, I was just thinking of something. Did you have your breakfast?" Jingfei asked while glancing at Alexander, who sat on the stool beside her. The man nodded his head, "I already did! You are having cereal again." He muttered as he took a peek at Jingfei's plate.&nbs
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
