[Denver] On a sunny Sunday, Tiffany and her older brother, Jayden Anderson, decided to go for a walk. They went to the library because Jayden had something to read, after which he would accompany Tiffany to play until she was satisfied. "Is Ethan really that busy?" said Tiffany, talking about her first brother. She sat near the park while waiting for Jayden to bring her ice cream. "Why are you asking Ethan? He already said he couldn't go, right?" Jayden, who heard Tiffany, replied. He brought Tiffany her blueberry ice cream and sat next to her. Tiffany sighed heavily. "I just miss him a little," Tiffany replied. "The older we get, the more things we have to do to live independently. But living independently doesn't mean you don't need siblings or friends anymore, right?" "What do you mean. Do you think Ethan seems like an anti-social person after he working?" "It's not like that... but because he puts work first, I feel like he doesn't have time to see me. It's been a week si
Tiffany waited in great panic and anxiety outside the ER, waiting for the doctors and medics to administer first aid to Jayden. Tiffany panicked to the point of not knowing what to do when she saw Jayden unconscious with a pale face and blood flowing from his stab wound. That stranger must be the one who did it. But why, and what did he say to her earlier? Tiffany was still so scared that her hands were shaking. She sat up and stood up very anxiously, but it seemed like the doctor wasn't done yet to come out and give Tiffany some good news. "Tiffany...?" Until Tiffany heard the voice, she immediately stood up and her tears instantly spilled out. "Mr. Axel~" Xiel ran over and hugged Tiffany, letting her cry as it was obvious that she had been holding back her tears since she was alone. "Mr. Axel, I don't understand what happened. Jayden and I went to have fun but why did it end like this? I'm so scared, Mr. Axel, I'm so scared~" Xiel rubbed Tiffany's back, soothing the girl even
"Vander? What are you doing here?""Ah...."Victor had absolutely no clue why Vander was also in this place.While Vander also looked surprised and at a loss to speak for a few seconds, until Scarlett intervened and said, "Mr. Victor, welcome. I am so happy that you're come."Scarlett stood in front of Victor, as if to change the focus."Thank you for inviting me to come, Mrs. Scarlett. But do you know Vander too? Why is he also here?""Ah... well, I know Vander and I did invite for him to come. I'm glad that he took the time to come tonight."Victor glanced at Vander, still looking confused and searching for an answer but Vander averted his eyes. As if refusing to give an explanation, at least for now - when Scarlett and Johnny said that they should go to their seats."Mrs. Scarlett, I have something to ask you," Victor asked for a little time.But Scarlett seemed to be trying to distract Victor by continuing to ask him to get out of there, to their seats.What could Victor do? Maybe
After the opera, Victor went to see Scarlett. Scarlett seemed to know what Victor wanted to say, she used a room in the theater to entertain Victor; talking alone with him."As I said; I will entertain you with my best efforts, Mr. Victor." Scarlett served the best quality steak and red wine to Victor.But since Victor had other things to say, Scarlett didn't look flustered at Victor who seemed impatient to talk."The assistant you brought, I've already taken care of her in another room. I hope she doesn't feel uncomfortable because I separated you from her.""Ah, Ella is an understanding woman. I'm sure she'll be fine.""I hope so too. Now, please enjoy my little banquet, Mr. Victor."Victor smiled. He should be more patient and not make Scarlett feel uncomfortable.Victor and Scarlett enjoyed the dinner quietly until a few bites. For someone who had just learned table manners, seeing Scarlett eat with such graceful etiquette amazed Victor.Being a nobleman since childhood would stil
[Baton Rouge]Dylan Rall was in his room; monitoring the jewelry production process in the production house as the leader. But it had been 30 minutes and he was still brooding, daydreaming when again he thought of Rihana, his lover.Time had flown by; how he met Rihana, fell in love with her, then lost her. Everything went like the wind, but the feelings left behind were like scars that wouldn't go away easily.Dylan sighed, covering his face with a paper while faced the ceiling."How long has it been since I last spoke to Victor?" Dylan asked, feeling abrupt because he didn't think he cared about Victor right now.Ever since the argument that day, Dylan had found himself distancing himself from Victor and he was trying to do just that. Dylan no longer talked about his work with Victor and had someone send Victor a report, staying away from Victor also meant staying away from his brothers.Last time Dylan heard that Victor and Violet's relationship wasn't going well either; even Viole
[New Orleans] Victor almost choked when he heard what Scarlett said to him; about the explanation of Scarlett's words before. But Victor did not expect that he would hear such a tragic story of Matthias and Sahara's love story. "You may not believe me, but a mother will never forget how she lost her son." Scarlett said that Matthias didn't die in an accident or because of health problems, but Antonio had a big part in it. "Is that why the reason for Mr. Matthias' death was never known to the common people?" Scarlett nodded. "Do I sound like I'm making things up?" "No, I believe you, Mrs. Scarlett." Victor replied immediately. "Because I also know that cold-hearted demon is not someone who considers the lives of others is something precious, let alone those of people he doesn't like." Victor clenched his fists and held himself back as he recalled the night he had knelt and begged in front of Antonio, only to be rejected and humiliated by him. The night when Victor failed to sav
[Denver] Xiel couldn't feel at ease after what happened to Tiffany's brother. Even if it was only for a moment, Xiel could feel that Tiffany was a little awkward and trying to stay away from him. What the man said who attacked Jayden to Tiffany must have affected the girl, and although Xiel had promised to prove that he had nothing to do with the attacker, Tiffany still had her doubts about him.Until Xiel could prove it to Tiffany, the girl had a high probability of continuing to keep her distance from him. If Xiel lost Tiffany's trust, he would not be able to threaten Miguel while he had not gotten what he wanted. Or for the last resort.... "I should really kill that girl." But Xiel didn't look happy about that possibility, maybe because he had to go the extra mile and it was troublesome? Or because he really didn't want to hurt Tiffany. Either way, the amount of time they spent together as teacher and student, and as friends, must have made Xiel have some sympathy for the gi
[Baton Rouge] Victor was done with his business in New Orleans; he held a lively and memorable grand opening for the New Orleans branch store of the Vyctrous, and his business with the Smith family had brought him many surprises. "I'm still a little dumbfounded by what I know now." Victor muttered, making the woman beside him ask. "What's happen, Sir?" Victor realized that he had made Ella interested by what he had said, while it was his personal business. Victor shook his head. The car pulled up in front of the office building, Victor getting out first and Ella following behind. "How was your day in New Orleans, Ella?" asked Victor, walking with Ella into the building. "It was your first business trip as my assistant, wasn't it?" "Yes, sir, and it was quite enjoyable. I've never been on such a pleasant business trip in my latest companies before." Victor smiled; quite pleased to hear the impression Ella had of the business he owned. Ella had only been on the job for two mont
