The dimmed lights and loud music made Alexander’s head throb, he wanted to go home but the young beside him didn't have any plan to let go of the bottle of whisky that she had been hugging since she got drunk. The young lady held tightly on the bottle while smiling at the young man.
“Handsome, Feifei not dwunk yet *hik* you hehehe *bang*” Alexander flinched when he saw Jingfei hit her face on the counter, “I’m fwine!” The young lady hurriedly raised her head and drank the whisky straight from the bottle.
Seeing Jingfei’s wasted state, Alexander pinched the young lady´s cheeks, “It's time to go home now, you drunkard!” Alexander uttered as he finally took the bottle from the young lady´s grasp and Jingfei again hit her face on the table. Seeing her didn’t move, Alexander took his card out and handed it to the bartender, “I´ll pay for tonight since she’s the one who drank half of the whisky!”
“Xiao Fei is quite a drinker. It's my first time seeing her like that. Did you two have a lover's quarrel?” The bartender asked as he took Alexander’s card and swiped it, “We are not even in a relationship ‘cause your goddamn mouth is always blabbering to Jingfei about those women whom I brought here.”
“Well, I was just telling her the truth since I know you also have hots for her, Monsieur Heroux! I see my younger sister on Jingfei and so I will treat her like one. Now, you should bring her home. You’ve been here for three hours already! I think she's already drunk enough to not remember what she was talking about earlier” The bartender who was their friend uttered as he handed the card back to Alexander. “Bring her straight to her apartment and ask for someone to change her clothes!”
Alexander gave the bartender a dirty finger as he scooped the young lady who was already out cold from her seat, “Straight to her apartment!” The bartender uttered again when he saw Alexander making his way to the special door that only he and Jingfei had access to.
As soon as Alexander got out of the door, he went straight to the parking lot where his car was parked. He pressed a button, and automatically the passenger’s door opened. Alexander gently placed Jingfei on the passenger seat and fastened her first seatbelt before closing the door. He hurriedly went straight to the driver's seat.
Once he got inside, he tapped Jingfei’s face to wake her up, “Hmmm!” The young lady groaned as she slapped the young man’s hand off of her face, “Wam mwore” (One more) Jingfei mumbled before she went back to sleep.
“Still an amazon even though you are asleep!” Alexander muttered as he started the car´s engine and drove out of the parking lot towards the familiar road that they usually take together every single day.
It was already two in the morning, there were only a few cars on that road which made Alexander drive freely. He stepped on the accelerator and within just thirty minutes the car stopped in front of a huge apartment building.
The young man glanced at the sleeping young lady, he then took his phone and dialled a number, “Please send someone to Miss Xu’s apartment and tell her to prepare a warm bath for the young miss.” After Alexander instructed the person, he turned his phone off and hid it back in his pocket before staring at Jingfei again.
He then opened the door and handed his key to the valet when he got out, “Park my car at the usual spot.” He ordered the man and turned around to get Jingfei from the passenger seat. The valet helped Alexander in closing the door, the young man strode towards the entrance, in his arms is a sleeping young lady.
"We have already asked someone to prepare a warm bath for mademoiselle Jingfei.” The receptionist informed Alexander. The young man just nodded his head and walked straight to the elevator. He pressed the button on the floor where his and Jingfei’s unit is located.
Once the elevator’s door closes, the two receptionist whispered at each other, “Did you see the look on Monsieur Heroux’s eyes as he stared at Mademoiselle Jingfei?” The receptionist who informed Alexander a minute ago whispered to the other receptionist.
“Monsieur Heroux always has those gentle stares at the young lady. I guess we know who will be our lady boss soon.” The woman replied and the two went back to what they were doing. It was almost time for their shifts so they needed to finish what they were doing a while ago before Alexander appeared.
When the elevator stopped at their floor, Alexander immediately went out as soon as the door opened, “We are almost there! Hold it in!” He uttered as he ran towards Jingfei’s unit.
“Bargh!” Jingfei gagged as she raised her head, the young man hurriedly swiped his spare card from the young lady´s unit. As soon as he opened the door, he felt something wet on his shirt, “Damn!” He mumbled and hurriedly went straight to the bathroom not even minding the woman who greeted them.
Alexander placed Jingfei down on the floor, he immediately took his clothes off and helped the young lady get up and vomit on the sink. Alexander rubbed Jingfei’s back as she vomited all the food she had eaten at the party.
As soon as Jingfei was done, the woman who prepared the warm bath came inside, “I’ll give her a bath.” She informed the young man as she went closer to the young lady, “Monsieur can you please turn around for a second.” She uttered, Alexander let go of Jingfei and the woman started taking the young lady’s clothes.
“Why did you ask her to prepare a Feifei bath first?” He thought to himself while having an idea of what was happening behind him. After the elder woman was done taking Jingfei’s clothes, she placed them on the sink along with Alexander´s dirty shirt.
"Uhm! Monsieur, can I ask for help to move the young lady to the bathtub?” The woman asked, “ You can close your eyes, I will be the one to guide you!” The woman added, Alexander took a deep breath and closed his eyes before facing Jingfei's direction.
The elder woman who was in her forties carefully guided the young man’s hand closer to the young lady’s tight and the other hand on her back. Carefully, Alexander raised the young lady from the floor and step by step he walked towards the bathtub with the help of the elder woman.
Alexander felt like the way to the bathtub was so long and slow, he could feel the young lady’s soft and supple skin rubbing to his own. “Monsieur, you can slowly place the young lady now.” The elder woman uttered as she guided Alexander on where the bathtub is.
The young man slowly placed Jingfei in the bathtub, he made sure that she was comfortable in the tub before letting her go. Alexander turned around first before opening his eyes, “Don’t let her say for too long on the water and call me when you are done.” He informed the elder woman before taking a towel from the young lady´s bathroom cabinet and went outside.
When Alexander got out, he heaved a deep sigh of relief, he could almost hear his own heartbeat, “What am I a virgin?!” He thought while caressing his hair and glancing at the bathroom’s door.
“I better take a shower” Alexander mumbled and hurriedly went out of Jingfei’s unit and walked towards his own which was just across the young lady’s unit. He hurriedly went to the bathroom to relieve the hot sensation inside his body that he felt while carrying the young lady.
The cold water touched his well-toned body, Alexander could still feel the lingering sensation of the young lady´s soft and silky skin. “I’m really losing my mind!” He mumbled as he let the water flow down on his body.
Brushing off the thought of what happened a while ago, Alexander’s mind wandered to what had happened at the bar and what the young lady had spilt when she got drunk. “She had someone she loves!” He muttered between his breath and the thought of her loving someone made Alexander feel like someone just stabbed his heart with thousands of needles.
The young man hurriedly finished his bath when he heard the phone rang, thinking that it was the elder woman who took care of the drunk young lady. Alexander took his towel and wrapped it around his waist, leaving the shower room, water still dripping down on his body.
The phone continued ringing, he took and answered, “I’ll be there in a minute!” He uttered without waiting for the caller to talk. When Alexander was about to place the phone down, a man with a deep and raspy voice spoke on the other side.
“How did you know that I will be asking you to get me here at the airport? Are you a psychic now, Alexy?” The man uttered. Alexander didn’t say a word, he just hung up the call and acted like he didn’t know who the caller was.
Acting like nothing happened, Alexander strode towards his closet and immediately changed into his comfortable clothes, and glanced at the wall clock, it was already four in the morning and he didn’t even feel sleepy at all.
Alexander went out of his own room and strode towards Jingfei’s unit. He was about to swipe the key card when the door suddenly opened, it was the elder woman, “Monsieur Heroux, I have already finished giving the bath and changing the young lady’s clothes. I was just about to call you.” The elder woman informed the young man.
"Thank you! You can now go back to your own room!”
The elder bowed her head and excused herself, as she was about to walk away, Alexander called her again, “Before you return to your quarters, please tell the receptionist to prepare a hangover medicine and ask her to inform the chef to prepare a hangover soup.”
The young man meticulously informed the elder, “I will tell them. Have a good day Monsieur.” The elder uttered and she then excused herself leaving the young man alone in the quiet hallway of the fifteenth floor.
Alexander went inside Jingfei’s unit, he tossed his key card on the centre table and went directly to the young lady’s bedroom. When Alexander reached the young lady’s bed side, he saw that Jingfei was already comfortably tucked in her bed and was fast asleep.
He reached his hand out and gently caressed Jingfei’s face, “Will you let me court you?” Alexander asked, “Will you let me fix your broken heart?” He asked again knowing that the young lady will not answer him. Alexander went closer to the Jingfei as he peaked a kiss on the young lady’s forehead, “Sleep tight, my lady!” He uttered and before Alexander could react, two slim arms suddenly wrapped around his neck and, a soft and plump wet lips landed on his lips, “Sweet! Wam mwore dwink, hanswome!” Jingfei mumbled while smiling and her eyelids were half-open.
Alexander was left dumbfounded when the young lady’s arms let go of his neck and she then went back to sleep, “What the heck was that?” Alexander thought while staring at the young lady who was sleeping soundly again.
"Dammit! You always surprise me, young lady!" He mumbled and stole another steamy kiss from the sleeping beauty. After separating from the kiss, Alexander stared at the young lady, appreciating her peaceful and alluring face.
The more he stared at her, the young man's feelings grew more, "Thank you for coming into my life like a storm that destroys my wrong doings!" Alexander mumbled and gave the young lady a last peak on the forehead before deciding to get up from the bed and make a phone call on his secretary who was still fast asleep.
Before the sun rises, Alexander who didn't fall asleep was already busy cooking breakfast in Jingfei’s kitchen. The soup and hangover medicine that he requested last night had been delivered early in the morning. He was almost done preparing breakfast when he heard a loud bang inside the young lady’s room. Hurriedly placing the bowl of soup on the table, Alexander ran toward the room and almost burst into laughter when he saw the young lady on the floor, her back was flat on the floor, her head was facing the door and her legs were still on the bed. “Are you just gonna watch me? Owww!!” Jingfei held her throbbing head, “
While they were on their way to the restaurant that Alexander owned, Jingfei was just staring at the man all throughout their ride. The young lady was still wondering and trying to remember what she had done when she was very drunk, “Did I really not do anything while I was drunk?” Alexander briefly glanced at Jingfei, “You simply passed out when you got very drunk!” “Then what did I do when I was still not too drunk, ‘cause all I remembered when we got inside the bar is that I ordered a drink from Shell and had a talk with him while you answered a phone call.” Jingfei muttered while staring intently at the young man who was looking straight on the
As Alexander was preparing the Steak Frites, he would take glances at the young lady who was also having fun making the desserts. Alexander is still worried about Jingfei since she was so drunk last night. The young man immediately went back to what he was doing when he saw that the young lady was also glancing in his direction. “Psh! I could feel your gaze on my back!” Jingfei thought when she caught Alexander avoiding her gaze.At exactly noon, the restaurant opened and in an instant, it was filled with people. Jingfei had just finished making the desserts with Anais's help."Since we are done here, I should help the oth
“Is your head still aching?” Alexander asked as soon as they got inside of Jingfei’s unit.“No, it’s not aching anymore. Are you hungry? ‘Cause I am!” Jingfei asked while placing her bag on top of the centre table. Alexander picked it up and threw it at her, “Young lady, you have to place that inside your room. Go change your clothes also, I’ll prepare our lunch. What would you like to eat?”Jingfei picked her bag and walked towards her room, “Salad!” She answered before closing the door.“Why did I even ask her?” Alexander muttered as he glanced at the wall clock, it was already four in the afternoon, “I should call her!” He mumbled while taking his phone and dialled a number.
The sun had set, and city lights began to shine as it illuminated the whole city of Lyon. It was already seven in the evening and two hours have passed since Jingfei cried in Alexander’s arms. She had also a short talk with Lihua, and Jingfei had to lie when her best friend asked if she was crying. Before their phone call ended, Lihua had remainded her to take care of herself and not to get sick. The young lady is squatting on the couch as she hugged her favourite pillow that Lihua gifted to her. “Here, place this one your eyes to stop the swelling.” Alexander, who came back from the kitchen, handed an ice pack to the young lady. “Are you good now?” He asked as he sat in front of her. Jingfei nodded, &ldqu
Alexander woke up before the sun could rise, he sat down on his bed and reminisced about what had happened last night, his lips suddenly curved into a smile, “I am truly going to start dating Jingfei?” He mumbled while hugging his pillow. While feeling the bliss and giddiness, Alexander reached out for his phone to check if any of those women had messaged him again but he was stupefied when a bunch of miss calls from the same number greeted his eyes. “And what does he want with me again?” The young man mumbled as he dialled the number. After a couple of rings, the person finally answered the call, “Alexy, why did you not pick your phone last night!
While everyone at the Heroux residence was busy preparing for the arrival of their young master, at the jewellery store, Jingfei was contemplating which one of the two necklaces would suit Madame’s taste. “Alex, which one of these will your mother like?” Jingfei asked as she glanced at the young man who was busy looking at the rings.“Alexander!” Jingfei poked Alexander to get his attention.“What is it?” Jingfei pointed at the two necklaces, “Which one should I buy?”Alexander stood beside Jingfei and glanced at the necklaces, without saying anything he called the sales lady, “Please pack these two necklaces.” The sales lady nodded and were about to pick the box when Jingfei spoke,
Alexandria crossed both her arms on her chest, and with one brow raised, she stared at the man from feet to head, “I see, you are still doing fine. Out from the prison are we?” She scoffed. “Pffttt- Ahem!” Alexander held his laughter as he glanced at his cousin who was staring at him, expressionless. Hugo calmed himself down as he remembered why he was at the Heroux residence, “You see, I didn’t come here to talk about the past. Aunt Royella invited me.” “And why would mom invite a mur- Oh! Hugo, you are here!” Both Alexander and Alexandria turned around when they heard their father's voice. “Why are you thre
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
