Basil Jaak had his flight rescheduled and then took a taxi to the Rose Cafe, not far from the airport, where Krystal Flack and Jessica Flack were already sitting and waiting for him.
"Basil Jaak, it's been so long, you've gotten even more handsome."
As soon as Basil appeared, Krystal excitedly went up to him and hooked his arm, looking like intimate siblings.
Today, Krystal was wearing a beige T-shirt with a ponytail, youthful and beautiful, and very cute. Behind Krystal, Jessica was still dressed in a white shirt with a black coat over it, her hair done up, looking commanding, still the icy businesswoman Basil remembered.
"Basil... I suppose I should call you Mr. Jaak now," Jessica said as soon as he sat down.
"Mr. Flack, calling me that feels so strange. I think you should either call me Basil or Little Jaak." Basil waved a waiter over and ordered a latte.
