Kevin turned his head and looked at the sign that read 'Blue Enchantress'. He sighed in relief and quickly left. A warm expression spread through his usually cold face when sudden memories of how he first met Leena came to his mind. He had wondered all this time about why would two perfect strangers like themselves had such a passionate night together. He had been clueless for a long time. Until his views had changed did he realize that it must be fate that actually planned everything for them.
He wouldn't have slept with Leena no matter what if only he'd known that she was the Leng family's little girl. He loathed rich girls. He had thought that all of them were nothing but condescending and arrogant brats. Then there was Leena. She was gentle, nice, and a bit moody as well who would throw fights from time to time just like any normal girls would do. She was the exception to the rule.
It was already one o'clock in the morning when he reached his apartment. The idea that he had to go and see the companies after his sleep was already enough to put him on a bad mood. He wasn't sure why he was feeling annoyed and restless. Something seemed to bother him but he couldn't figure out what it was. He felt like something bad would happen soon.
Lying on the big and lonely double bed, Kevin had a feeling that something was missing but he didn't know what the thing was. He got no clue if it was because of Hoyle's words that he was feeling such. He wanted to think more carefully and find out what he was missing but then his mind was just too tired of all the workloads he had and passed out. Whatever he was missing remained as an undone puzzle piece.
It was ten o'clock in the morning when Leena arrived at the S City's International Airport. She didn't advise anyone that she was coming thus she took a taxi out. She was nothing but a stylish stunner with her beautiful face, perfect built and smart-casual clothes.
The first thing she did after getting in a taxi was turn on her cell phone. She had her phone off the whole time she was in the plane. She was a bit anxious that Kevin might worry about her if he couldn't reach her number. Thus, she sent him a message before she rode her flight.
The excitement was cruising through Leena as the familiar ambiance of her country welcomed her. But more, it was making her expectant. She really wanted to see Kevin. It was odd how being parted from each other made her feel emotionally closer to him. She was troubled that Kevin might not feel the same and everything was just all in her head.
Rolling the window down, she breathed the fresh air outside the car. A large smile appeared on her face as she was really happy that she was back. She drew a deep breath after a while. Was it just her imagination? Or was the air really sweeter in the city where her love was in?
"You must have been abroad for quite a long time!" The driver gave a friendly smile as he noticed Leena's behavior. He guessed that the lady with him must have not been in the city for a while to act like that.
Yeah! How do you know? I've been abroad for about a month." Leena replied in a friendly way that no one would mistake her for a rich girl. She was so down to earth. She was easy-going and nice to everyone. A total contradiction of how rich girls usually were.
"Oh! Only for a month? You must really like our country! Or is there someone you love who's been waiting for you to come back here?" The driver gently smiled at her words. He had thought that she might have been gone for a long time to act like this. But much to his surprise, it had only been a month!
"Well, I don't know. Maybe a little of both!" Leena smiled and felt a little shy with how the driver read through her that easily. What he said was right, she was this excited not only because she missed the place but more so the people.
The driver just glanced at her meaningfully and didn't talk more. He had thought that his customer would be a difficult rich girl because she was dressed so nicely. It was a surprise how easy-going and nice she was to him. Was he wrong? Was she not some rich girl after all? Besides, what she was wearing wasn't from some famous brand. He might be wrong. But that was not likely! He had been a driver for about twenty years, and he was familiar with the way to the airport. He had met numerous people and he was confident that he was a good judge of character. He had learned to tell different famous brands now.
Leena was giddy all the way home. She was still very happy even though she knew that Kevin might not be at home at that very hour. A sweet smile stayed shining on her face that in the long run, lifted the driver's mood too. The driver even helped her carry her suitcases all the way to the elevator when they reached her home. It seemed that the driver was such a nice guy.
The lady drew a deep breath before she opened the door and pulled her suitcases inside. She had brought enough gifts for everyone this time. Nothing had changed with their house since she left. The only thing that had changed there was how easy one could tell that a man lived there. The thought automatically gave her a certain feeling of security.
Looking at the two big suitcases by her side then looking at the stairs in front of her, Leena frowned. She decided to pour herself some water and rest for a bit. After all, the way that the autumn wind swept her home made her lips dry and chapped.
She gave the whole house another once-over as she leaned against the sofa. She even reached out and wiped a furniture top with her hand just to check if Kevin had been cleaning the room while she was away. Luckily, the result was not bad. It might not be as clean as it was when she was home, nevertheless, it was decent enough in her opinion.
