As they were having their dinner, a servant came and excused herself as she handed the phone to the Madame, “I’m sorry for interrupting your dinner, Madame Margaret but your phone has been ringing.” The servant uttered as she let go of the phone when the Madame took it.
“Thank you. You may go now!” The servant slightly bowed her head down and left the dining area.
The Madame glanced at the screen and saw that it was Alexander who was calling her.
“Who is that?” Monsieur Heroux asked as he glanced at his wife, “It’s your son.” She replied and swiped the answer button.<
Once Jingfei was relieved from crying, Alexander, who went out for a minute, came back with a glass of water. He lowered his body to level the young lady as he helped her drink.“Are you okay now?” Alexander asked, placing the glass on the floor.Jingfei slowly nodded her head while wiping her nose, “I'm fine.” She briefly answered as she used her hand as a support when she stood up. Alexander also helped her as he grabbed her arm.Alexander stood still as he watched the woman wipe the side of her eyes. “Are you sure that you are okay now?” He questioned again, making sure that she is really okay. He wants to prepare his heart again for another emotional outburst.“Yes, I’m sure that I’m okay. Sorry that you have to s
“Should we retire for now?” Li Wei muttered as he stared at the chessboard. They have been playing for almost thirty minutes since their first born had gone to bed. “It’s already late, honey!” He spoke again and Lihua moved her chess piece before staring at her husband.“Would you like some milk?” She questioned before raising from her seat. Li Wei nodded his head and extended his hands to pick the chess piece. “I’d love to. Thank you honey.” Lihua proceeded towards the kitchen to make two cups of milk while Li Wei tidy the table they had used. As soon as Lihua finished making their beverage, she went back to the table where she saw her husband staring at the window of the plane. “A penny for your thoughts?” She asked while placing Li Wei’s cup on the table. The woman then sat back on her chair while staring at her husband. “I was thinking, once we arrive in France, where do yo
After Jingfei and Alexander had finish paying their bills. two couples quickly left the restaurant and drove to the park where Jingfei had been wanting to go. As they where inside the car Jingfei keep on mumbling on how she wanted to go to the park yet she didn’t want to go there- alone.“You should have told me that you wanted to go there.” Alexander muttered as he maneuvered the steering wheel and the car went to the left direction. “Well, I just did couple of minutes ago.” “You know that’s not what I mean, darling!” Jingfei let a short laugh. “Hahaha, I know what you mean. And the reason why I didn’t tell you, it’s because sometimes it would slip through my mind and beside, we’ve been busy for the past few months.” Jingfei rested her elbow on the window and sighed, “Many things have happened!” She thought while glancing at the scenery outside the window.The bright scen
Three days have passed since Alexander and Jingfei went out on a date. For the past three days, Alexander, who went back to work in his company, became busy that he and Jingfei rarely see each other. Currently, Alexander is sitting on his swivel chair. He leaned his back and pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. He sighed in exhaustion. For the past three days, Alexander almost made his office as his house. He had to stay late because the secretary that Knight had trained was much more harsher than the man. “Good Morning Monsieur Heroux! I don’t want to be rude as this is my first time working with you but Monsieur Knight had brief me to be strict towards you since you tend to slack off during working hours.” Alexander let a short laugh as he remembered the man’s expression. He had a serious and stern expression as he bravely spoke the words towards his boss yet his hands that were clasped together were trembling. &
The sound of a dying engine woke Alexander up. He rubs his eyes and brushed his fingers through his hair as he shifted his gaze at the window. The sight of the staircase greeted his sight along with the figure of a woman waving her hand at the car as she ran down from the staircase.“Monsieur, we’re here.” Giovanni informed the man and when he turned around, he saw that Alexander was already awake and was talking to a woman. “Aunt Margaret have been waiting for your arrival. Did you sleep while on the rode?” Giovanni heard the woman say as her small hand reached for his boss’ hair and shuffled it.“Wife! Stop that!” Giovanni was perplexed when he heard Alexander’s shy voice and his embarrassed face. But his eyes then widened when he processed what Alexander just uttered. He didn’t know that his boss is already married.“Ehh! Why you didn’t like it?” Giovanni eyed the woman again.
Monsieur Heroux, who arrived first in the kitchen walked towards Hugo, who was so focused at what he was doing that the man didn’t even noticed his presence.“Hugo! What’s the situation here?” Monsieur Heroux asked as soon as he got near beside the man. Hugo was done plating his the dish he prepared.“Uncle, you’re here. Oh! I’m doing fine. Why are you here?” And did Alexander arrive already?” Hugo asked as he placed down the pan on the sink, grabbed a fork and handed it to his Uncle. “Can you please try this for me? I can’t really identify the taste of my own cooking.” He shyly confessed. Monsieur Heroux gladly took the fork and took some of the dish that Hugo was preparing. Hugo was eagerly staring at his uncle, waiting for his critique and the elder was about to spoke when both of them got interrupted at the two people entering the kitchen. Hugo peeked at the kitchen’s entrance whe
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. Jingfe
Alexandria 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
