Next morning in Daniel's room, what the...where am I?. Ava opened her eyes to see a man's clothes. She stood up and checked if her clothes were still intact. I must have lost my mind. What have I done? Ava ran out of the room.
What happened? Did I walk into a random villa and sleep there? Ava kept on saying this as she was already outside, when the memories of last night came rushing back, the car accident! What is he doing here? Dang it. Whatever! "Am finished". Ava said, ran to her own room...
Can't he meet me today either? I came all the way from America. How many days must I wait to meet him? This man is really something else, Daniel complained. He said he was busy today and definitely couldn't meet, and left, Jude explained. I guess he wanted to stress me because he is the big man on campus, "I'm determined anyway". "I will be the little man", Daniel smirked.
Jude goes to find out where the big man is, so that I can introduce myself to him in person. Daniel ordered...
Later in the evening, a group of big people were seen drinking, discussing some business and having fun. The champagne here? This is one is good. It is my favorite. Come on, thanks. Are you okay with that? With the glasses clicking together, this was a sound that was heard from the room, when Daniel and Jude stepped in.
Excuse me, sorry to bother you when drinking, Daniel said. President Daniel, what brings here? I believe our appointment is tomorrow, and you can speak English. I can understand. Melvin's son smirked.
We are going out to sea together tomorrow. I thought I should introduce myself to you in person. That's why I stopped by. I'm having a great time thanks to your hospitality. Let me introduce myself. I'm Daniel Yolk. He stretched out his hand for a handshake.
My apologies, but as you can see, I'm entertaining guests. This is not the right time. Let's meet officially tomorrow. "See you tomorrow, okay". Melvin's son ignored Daniel's hands that were stretched out for greetings. "You still have that bad habit", I guess you are still a brat who picks on people. "Qiang". All eyes turned to who said that.
Behold it was Alana Blackwood, Alana! Is that really you? It's been so long. Qiang stood up from his seat to greet Alana. I have missed you, long time no see. They hugged each other as they exchanged greetings. You are dressed like Maggie Cheung today. What brings her? Qiang asked.
I came to kiss you and ask you to be nice to him. Alana worked to where Daniel stood and held his arms. This handsome man is the man I'm going to marry. Daniel was just standing like a stick, speechless about the whole situation, he kept on moving his eyes from Alana to Qiang.
Wow! Is he your fiancé? Alana nodded, your getting married? That's right, Alana said, smiling. I would be so shocked. If he is your fiancé, that makes him my friend. Qiang now stretched his own hands to Daniel and said," Friends? Daniel stretched out his own hands with a smile on his face and greeted Qiang.
I'm not sure whether to console you or congratulate you for marrying her, Qiang said, laughing, which made everyone else laugh as well. "I would prefer being congratulated than consoled," Daniel replied after the laugh, lying down a little.
Qiang invited them to join the others. Let's sit and talk. Long no see, Evelyn, Alana greeted the others as she sat down. Hi, It's been a long time. Jude said a few words in Daniel's ears and excused himself.
The four of us were in the same class in school, we have been closed since college. Qiang introduced Daniels to others as well. Be my guest. I have earned my ring. If you call me "Lord of the Rings" or say I have no conscience again, I will kill you, darling. Alana smirked in Daniel ears.
How did you come here? Am I curious, Daniel asked, and how do you know him? I came to support you and Qiang and I went to Peking University together. Wow! How much more attractive will you become? Daniel smirked.
Right? I'm handsome and have awesome connections, you will have to warm hard if you want to get Qiang to open his wallet, "he is tough on the outside", "and even tougher on the inside". Alana said quietly in Daniel's ears.
Qiang suggested, let's make a toast. Here's to my longtime friend Alana and my new friend Daniel. Cheers... clicked, they all responded and clicked their wine glasses....
Is the weather not nice in Hainan? It is. This pier is ours and this is my yacht. It's perfect weather to go out to the sea. Come by often if you like it. Let's go Scuba diving together. Qiang showed them around...
Ava was on the yacht putting things together with her boss as they prepared for the quest. They are here, her boss said...check if we are missing anything. Ava nodded. Let go! Her boss left with the other crew members, while Ava kept checking if all things were in place.
As she kept doing that, Ava was suddenly dragged by an arm, which she almost fell, but the arms supported her from falling. Is this the job that you said is paying you a lot?
That look... isn't..."who are you?" Right? It's the third time already. Where I come from, we bet on it not being a coincidence. At the theater!..." I'm really sorry about what happened in the theater that day," Ava explained.
You sound like you haven't seen me in a while, like you forgot everything that happened in my room, your room...? Ava asked... before she could do it. Those memories of last night, her cheeks were reddened now. She behaved childishly last night, so Ava tried to pretend not to remember it.
Did I... Did I see you by the pool? Right? She asked. That's not it. Daniel smirked" No…? Yes, it is, Ava said again. Your order of response is wrong. This is it now, "I'm sorry", "I slept the night in your room", but I ran away without saying thank you because I was too embarrassed.
Like being so drunk and heavy wasn't enough, I pulled out my hair, sang, and even danced. "I was an incredible nuisance". You should apologize first.
Well... I don't really know what you are talking about, but I have something urgent to do. Ava tried to run, but Daniel pulled her back, you kissed me out of the blue, then I cried out of nowhere, you took over my bed, and now you claim you don't remember and try to flee?
You have no etiquette at all, not even the basics, Daniel smirked. When coming closer to Ava, Ava! Where are you, Ava? Her boss, called Ava, used that opportunity to escape. Over here boss! Over here! I'm coming! She pushed Daniel and ran away.
On her way she stopped. How could I sleep in his Villa? I must have gone Crazy....
The yacht moved and Daniel and Alana were drinking and chatting. The weather is so nice today. Kelvin and Jude were also having a great time on the yacht as well…
It was now time for Scuba diving. Ava dressed Qiang and Daniel with her boss's assistance.
Kelvin walked to Daniel and whispered," Do you want a pill for flight anxiety? I haven't seen any signs, I'm fine for now. Daniel shrugged.
Okay!. Jump into the water. Daniel and Qiang jump in and Ava, her boss and other crew members jump in as well. Alana waved at them as she stood back on the yacht with Jude and Kelvin. Kelvin was worried about Daniel because he knew his health issues.
All of them were inside the water diving and enjoying it, but Daniel was not. Ava was by his side. He noticed it and showed some signs in his hands asking if he was okay. Daniel said yes and asked Ava to move on.
Ava's boss showed some signs to Ava that everyone had to return now, and they coordinated with other people, but unknown to them, Daniel was left behind.
That was awesome! Everyone was on the yacht trying to change up. Today's course was incredible. Awesome, Ava's boss said to Ava as she smiled and brought down her oxygen support.
Alana went to where they were changing and asked, "Have you guys seen President Daniel". Why isn't he back yet? Everyone was darn scared. Kelvin stood up from where he sat with confusion and worries.
He was behind us just a minute ago. Ava replied and worried. Everyone's eyes were on the water, and there was no movement before they could even think of anything. Ava dived into the water without her energy support in search of Daniel.
Inside the water, Daniel was having a hard time breathing, everything was making him feel uncomfortable. He removed the oxygen support from his mouth. He was now struggling to breathe in the water and swimming as well. He sank down deep in the water because he was out of air. He had taken too much water already.
