The empty highway gave Alexander the freedom to drive at the speed he wanted. He took a glimpse at the young lady, who had already fallen asleep.
“She is an interesting young lady!” Lucien suddenly spoke and broke the silence between him and his cousin.
“What did the two of you talk about when you were inside of the Ferris Wheel earlier.” When the two got out from the Ferris Wheel, Alexander had sensed the odd atmosphere between them.
Lucien shifted his gaze on the dark scenery outside, “Nothing important, I just asked her if she likes you. But she didn’t fill my curiosity.” The young man honestly replied.
“Because her liking me is not of your concern, Lucien.&
Before the sun could rise, Alexander- who only took a nap for an hour- was already dressed in a dark grey suit and tie. The young man was fixing his wristwatch when he received his secretary’s reply to the text he sent him, After reading the message, Alexander didn’t bother replying again as he just grabbed his case and went out of his room. When he arrived at his living room, he placed the black case on the sofa and made his way to his walk in the pantry where he grabbed a couple of cereal bars which were Jingfei’s favourite snacks. Once he had nothing more
While Jingfei was busy making their breakfast, Anais- whose eyes were full of amazement as she stared at Jingfei’s every move. It was her first time seeing the head pastry chef holding a ladle instead of a measuring cup. “I didn’t know that you could also cook dishes.” Anais blurted out. “Before moving here in France, I live with my brother and his wife for a year in New York. Since they were both busy with work, I am in charge of making their breakfast and dinner.” Jingfei answered as she glanced at Anais, “When I graduated from my Business course, I also studied culinary arts for two years before shifting to baking and pastry.”
A White Ferrari pulled in front of a huge building, Jingfei- who was about to surprise Alexander- glanced at her watch. “I still have five minutes.” She mumbled and looked at the mirror as she checked her appearance. Once she made sure that she looked presentable, Jingfei put a mask on as she didn't want to gain attention from Alexander’s employees once she entered his office. The young lady- who was wearing a blueish purple gradient flowy dress- went out from her car and a young man came running towards her, “Good Noon, Xiao Feifei.” The young man greeted casually as he accepted the keys that Jingfei handed to him, “Good Noon, Big Brother Saint! I’m sorry for bothering you during your work. The man shook his head, “No, you didn’t bother me. I was just staying in the lounge area.
After having their lunch, Jingfei sat comfortably on the couch while Alexander resumed what he was doing before he and Knight went down from his office to grab their lunch. While scanning the documents, Alexander would steal short glances at the young lady. “Eyes on the documents Monsieur Heroux.” Jingfei muttered when she caught Alexander staring at her. "Ehem!" The young man cleared his throat, "I am looking at the documents." Alexander innocently uttered while simply glancing back at the documents and flipping the paper, back
Later thatafternoon, Alexander placed his pen down and stretched his body and arms, Jingfei saw the scene and asked the young man, “Did you finish signing that all?” With a surprised expression she pointed at the long stack of documents on the young man’s table. Alexander nodded, “I need too! Because I might get nagged again by Knight because of my incompetence as the President. He also listed the meetings that I have missed and asked for his increase in salary or should I say he wants half of my salary.” “Well then, give it to him since he works most of your to do’s.” Jingfei calmly suggested, and Alexander's jaw dropped, “Really Feifei? You want me to give half
Once they got out from the elevator, the employees who had not yet gone home had been glancing at their direction as they made their way towards the exit. As thetwo were about to pass the lounge area, the employees who were staying inside glanced at Jingfei and Alexander’s direction. A woman immediately stood up to have a better glimpse at the woman who was standing beside their boss. "Who is that young lady?” She asked while pointing at Jingfei as she stared at her colleagues. The receptionistwho remembered Jingfei, “ “Oh! I know her. She was the young lady whom I had stopped from using
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
