When the two maids left, Yanis asked Alice.
-You forgave her so easily?
-I was just scaring her to give a warning to the other employees,” Alice looked around and explained.
The two ordered their food and found an empty table to sit at, Yanis looked around, then lowered his voice and asked, -But are you still going to wait for Kennedy to come back?
At this question, Alice’s hands stopped for a moment and she looked at Yanis without answering immediately.
Yanis was a little startled by her deep stare, and looked away, explaining, -I’m just worried about you. Are you going to keep running the company for him? That would be a total waste of your own life, and it would be very draining.
-Yanis,” Alice suddenly interrupted.
-What?
It was the first time Alice explained to Yanis so seriously.
-I’m not going to wait forever, because he will surely come back.
Alice’s vision was firm and Yanis wanted to say something else but nothing came out, so he had to nod and eat.
In fact, during the month of waiting, many people, not just Yanis, thought Kennedy must have died in the plane crash and might never come back.
But Alice and Jack were the only ones who were convinced that Kennedy would come back.
They were both convinced that Kennedy had only temporarily disappeared.
Yanis cast a heartbreaking glance at the emaciated Alice.
How determined did a woman have to be to trust her husband so much?
Suddenly, Yanis felt that, even if he wasn’t with Zain, it was a blessing to see him alive and well every day.
Alice and Kennedy, on the other hand, loved each other but could not be together.
If Kennedy had really died because of the plane crash, Alice would never see him again.
But Yanis would never say this in front of Alice again.
After lunch, the two went back to their respective jobs.
After a long day at work, Alice came home tired. She was about to lie down on the couch to rest for a while when she received a call from Megan.
-Secretary Megan,” Alice was a bit puzzled. Since it was already after office hours, she wondered what Megan wanted to see her about.
-Miss Alice, I have a message for you.
Megan’s tone sounded serious, as if she was about to tell her something important.
Alice is exhausted, but sits back down as soon as she hears that serious tone from Megan.
Although Megan had been calling Alice almost every day for some time, she rarely spoke in such a serious tone.
And Alice’s heart was also beating frantically at that moment. Alice felt her voice become hoarse and trembled as she was unable to speak.
-What is it?
-Miss Alice, we may have found Mr. Kennedy,” Megan smiled slightly from where Alice couldn’t see and said in a congratulatory tone.
Alice just felt a wave of dizziness in her eyes at this news, as if a star had hit her, but she didn’t faint.
Alice bit her lip and tried to stay awake, clutching her phone tightly.
-Is it true what you said?
But she couldn’t contain her emotions and stood up.
-Did you really find Kennedy? Where is he now? How is he?
-Don’t worry yet, Miss Alice, our information is eighty percent accurate. But there are still some things we’re not sure about, so we’re going to have to ask you to come in person.
-What are you talking about?
Instead of telling him the answer right away, Megan continued, -Mr. Zain said that, given your character, you would have gone to confirm it immediately and that you wouldn’t have been able to sleep if they had left you a night’s wait. So I bought you a ticket for tonight and the driver is already on his way to catch you.
-Did you have the driver come already?
-Yes, he should be at the place where you are staying in about twenty minutes and you still have time to pack the things you need to bring. By the way one more thing, please don’t worry about Jack, we have arranged for him to be taken care of.
With Zain and Yanis nearby, Alice knew Jack would be well taken care of and nodded her head.
-Then, Miss Alice, please go pack your things, I’ll leave you for now.
Once the call was over, Alice hung up the phone and pulled out her suitcase to start packing the clothes she would be taking with her on the trip.
She opened the closet to take out the suitcase, but suddenly her hand shook and she didn’t hold it steady, so it suddenly fell apart.
Alice bent down and then quickly climbed back up to fix it.
Although Alice had twenty minutes to unpack the suitcase, she did it in a few minutes. Finally, she grabbed her passport and waited at the door for the driver to arrive.
The driver had not yet arrived at Villa HoiKong, and the short twenty minutes that elapsed seemed like a century before Alice finally saw the driver’s car.
-I’m here!” Alice was a little excited to see the driver arrive.
-Miss Alice,” The driver smiled as he approached, offering to take the luggage from Alice’s hands and put it in the trunk, asking, “Mr. Zain asked me to come pick you up at the airport and stop by for something to eat, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you?
Alice shook her head to show she didn’t care about dinner and asked, -Sir, is it true what Megan said?
Her heart was still very apprehensive so far and her thoughts were confused, a myriad of memories came to her mind and she remembered all those promises Kennedy had whispered in her ear, everything played in her mind like a movie.
The driver put the suitcase away and when he looked up he noticed that Alice’s eyes were red, as if she was going to cry soon, but he was so distressed that he reassured her and said, -Miss Alice, it’s just that this time there is a good chance that the secretary Megan and Mr. Zain will buy you the ticket. It’s a good thing, don’t get upset, Miss Alice, please get in the car quickly.
Alice understood his words.
Yes, it was good news.
Why should she be upset?
Thinking about it, Alice wiped the tears from her eyes, put on a smile and cheered up, -You’re right, my brother and secretary Megan wouldn’t have told me about this if they didn’t have definite information.
-So, are we going to the airport now?
-Yes.
Alice nodded and followed the driver to the car.
-It’s still a little way to the airport, but Mr. Zain has asked me to take you to dinner first, so…” The driver looked at the navigator and said.
-We’ll go straight to the airport, there’s a restaurant at the airport and then I’ll get something to eat.
-As you wish.
The driver took Alice safely to the airport and as soon as she got out of the car she met Megan, who was at the curb waiting for her.
Seeing her get out of the car, Megan rushed over to her, took the suitcase out of her hands and said, “Mr. Zain is already waiting for you in the waiting room.
-Okay.
Alice followed Megan through airport security, and then Megan led her to a restaurant.
Zain settled into a window seat, with a laptop and a cup of hot coffee in front of him.
-Good evening,” Zain looked up and had just greeted her when Alice hurried over.
-Zain, is that the right news?
