Jingfei almost cut herself when she got startled at Alexandria sudden scream. “What’s wrong with you, Elite? Why are you shouting?” Alexander scolded his sister.
“Why... Why is he here?” Alexandria mumbled while pointing at Giovanni. The three, Hugo, Alexander and Jingfei, at the same time glanced at the man, who was also staring at the young lady standing at the entrance of the kitchen. The three had a confused look on their faces as they stared at Giovanni.Alexander withdraw his gaze on the man and shifted it back to his sister, still with a confused expression on his face. “Do you know my new secretary?” He asked calmly.“I don’t know her.” It was Giovanni... He had finally spoken a word since the woman appeared. “I think you’ve mistake me for another person.” He added again before withdrawing his gaze on the young lady and continued peeling the carrot he had on his hand.JingfeAlexandria silently stared at the woman in front of her, contemplating the right answer inside her head. She cold feel the intense stare from Jingfei’s small eyes. “As what I said earlier, I have mistaken him for someone else.”Jingfei’s eyes droop down, she was not convinced at the young lady’s answer. “I mean what I said Feifei. I have just mistaken him for someone else. That person was polite yet Brother’s new secretary is not. Didn’t you see how he acted in earlier.” Alexandria mumbled as she took a seat on the chair from her vanity mirror.Tilting her head sideward, Jingfei had a confused look on her face, “How did he acted?” She asked.“Arrogant! Very Arrogant!” Alexandria exclaimed as she grit her teeth in annoyance as she remember Giovanni’s expression and the way he spoke earlier.“I think he acted just fine a while. Though I’m not so sure if he was being arro
Hugo clenched his fist and gape his mouth open as he is ready to say his thoughts when his cousin, who was still holding his hand tightly, spoke first, “Aunt, your still flashy as ever! It suits you perfectly!”. Hugo almost let out a snort at the hidden sarcasm from the young lady’s words. Madame Alarie stood straight as she showed the huge pearls hanging on her neck, “Of course, darling Elite. I should look presentable wherever I go. Your grand- Okay, that’s enough, Aunt. So why are you all here?” Madame Heroux cleared her throat, “Alexandria!” She called her daughter’s name while giving her a light glare. Alexandria shut her mouth tightly before apologizing, “Sorry Mother.” She apologetically look at her the Madame but didn’t even spare a glance at her Aunt nor give an apology.Alexandria loosen her grip on Hugo’s hand when she feel that he was no longer trembling. Everyone at the table
"Is she Alexander's girlfriend?" Madame Alarie pried and her sister just nodded her head, "Isn't my daughter-in-law beautiful?" The Madame proudly muttered and she could see the indifference on her sister's expression."Well, how about you dear Elite? Do you have someone you like right now?" Madame Beatrice turned to face her niece, who was busy talking to her cousin, Hugo.Alexandria spared a short glance at her Aunt, "No! I don't have. I'm still focusing all my attention on my modelling career and soon I'll be receiving the proper lesson from grandmother or from someone whom she would hire to teach me." Alexandria explained to shut her Aunt's mouth but the Madame still have something to say to her."Right you are also a model. Are you planning on following Oceane's footsteps?" She asked while stuffing her face with her food. "She is a perfect role model for you, Dear Elite. Like her you are also beautiful and talented."Alexandria quickly shook her head, "Of co
At exactly four o'clock in the afternoon, after they finished watching two movies, Giovanni quickly bid farewell to everyone who was inside the room when he got a phone call from his Aunt. "Thank you for having me here." He said when he reached the room's door and Alexander just nodded his head. Once the man had taken off, Alexandria clapped her hands together, "It's been so long since I've spend my day just having a movie marathon with others." She mumbled and turned her gaze at her brother. Alexander was the only person whom she had not spend her time with movies with. The young lady then shifted her gaze on the ceiling, "Are you not going to stay here for the night?" She asked the three people who were with her. "I'll stay with Jingfei. I promised mother that I will prepare the dinner for tonight since I wasn't able to prepare the dishes that I wanted to cook during our luncheon. But I don't know if Hugo will go home or stay here." Alexandria lowered her g
The next day, Jingfei woke up beside a man whose face was only a couple inch away from her. Her eyes widened when she realize who it was, and she was even more shocked when her heart leap a beat.She quickly got up from the bed... Her heart began beating fast when the man's lids move and slowly his deep hazel eyes found hers. Hugo's eyes where still half open."H-how did.. Why are you here in my room?" Jingfei asked with a puzzled tone and expression. Hugo closed his eyes again, "Hah! You are still visiting me in my dreams." The man mumbled, thinking that he was still inside his dream and was about to go back to sleep when Jingfei shouted at him, "THIS IS NOT A DREAM!" The man's eyes opened widely and slowly his head turned to were Jingfei is standing. He blinked twice and even rubbed his eyes to see if they were playing games on him. Seeing the man looking at her like she was not real, Jingfei crossed her arms and brought them on top of her chest, "I'm not jus
The Madame again shifted her gaze at Jingfei. "Are you going to work today?" She sat on the couch and handed another cookie to the woman. Waving her hand, Jingfei refuses, "I'm good now, Aunt Margaret. And I think I won't go to work today. I'll just phone one of the head chefs' to inform that I won't be coming to work along with Alexander and Hugo." She eyed the two men. But Jingfei's eyes didn't left the man, who was wearing an utterly familiar shirt. Hugo could only stare at the table. He felt the woman's intense stare almost piercing him right through his cheek. "Well if you will not work today. Could I ask you a favour?""What is it, Aunt Margaret?" "I have a couple of new plants that will arrive later. Could you help me plant them in the front yard?" "Mother! You can just ask your gardener to plant those." Alexander mumbled. His head was leaning on the back of the couch and his eyes were closed. "Shut it, Alexander! I'm still mad at you. How could y
While Jingfei was on the road, Hugo, who was sober now got up from the couch. He just finished having his breakfast and it's been about fifteen minutes since Jingfei left. "Where are you going?" Alexandria curiously asked, the young lady was laying on the long couch, her head was still in pain. "My room. I want to sleep." He reasoned out. Alexandria eyed her cousin suspiciously but in the end she et him go to his room. After seeing his expression earlier when Jingfei told that her best friend want to meet her, she new that something was bugging on the man. "Where is Hugo? And your brother?" Madame Heroux asked, she just got back from the kitchen with a tray of apple pie and a plate of sliced watermelon.The young woman raised her hand and pointed at the second floor, "He went to his room to sleep as well as brother. I think he feel lonely since Jingfei is not here."Placing the tray down, Madame Heroux lifted her head to look at her daughter, "Is yo
“Hey small potatoes! Oww!” A groaned escape from the woman’s lips when the twins jumped on her. “Did you both miss me that much?”The excitement on the twins face as they enthusiatically nodded their heads at the same time, made Jingfei chuckle. Huihui, Lihua and Li Wei daughter, buried her face on Jingfei´s chest, “I’ve missed your pastries, Aunt Jingfei.” “You only missed my desserts? How about Aunt Jingfei? You didn’t missed me?” Giggling at Jingfei’s words, Huihui reached her hand and gently caressed the woman’s face, “Of course, Aunt Feifei is my most missed person.” “Awww! I’ve missed you too, my chubby Huihui! But your not chubby anymore.” Jingfei stared at the child with a sad expression. “Huihui is growing! I need to grow taller not sideways, Aunt Feifei.” The child pouted as she crossed her arms. “Alright! Al
