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 inA 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

We only have an hour left, the party will start at exactly eight p.m." She uttered to one of her staff before walking towards a corner to answer the call."Yes, Huahua?" Jingfei spoke."Feifei, what are you doing? I hope I have not interrupted you." Lihua uttered on the other side of the phone.Jingfei slightly smiled as she glanced at the time, her best friend
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!&rdqu
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
