CHAPTER 10 ~~
TRISTAN’S POV
I was looking out at the window so hopefully I will see Deena coming back.
“All hopes are lost Tristan, I don’t think she will be able to make it” I uttered out sadly then put on my jacket and went to the car garage on the last floor.
I pressed the bu-tton on my car keys to open my car doors and just then Max’s call came in.
“I have a strong feeling Max got something to do with Layla’s call last night” I whispered then took the call.
“Why are you calling so early in the morning?” I asked and he chuckled.
“Don’t tell me you’re still upset because of the news Deena?” He asked over the phone.
“What do you mean?” I asked sarcastically.
“Look around the streets. The flyers of Deena are being taken down, I think Deena went to her parents. Mr Gu said he mistook the information he heard about his daughter that she was actually going on a vacation not a big deal but he made a fuss about it. And by the way what’s with the leave, you left without even telling me? Tristan what’s up with you lately? Why are you suddenly taking a leave?” Max threw in and I looked behind me.
“You’re trying to say Mr Gu said his granddaughter was only going on a vacation and that’s all?” I asked curiously.
“Exactly, that’s what he said. Why did you take a leave?” He asked curiously.
Does this mean Deena sorted things out with her family? Is this a sign that Deena’s coming back to me? I gasped in my head excitedly.
“Max I will talk to you some other time for now I have a flight to catch” I said with a smile.
“Why are you flying to?” He asked curiously.
“I’m going on a vacation” I said with a wide smile then hung up.
I ran back into the building, I tapped on the elevator’s bu-tton but it didn’t open.
“This is just a waste of time” I Gr0-ned and went throu-ghthe exit stairs.
I walked up the stairs hurriedly. I looked up and I’ve got some floors left before I get to my floor.
“Tristan you’ve always been an athlete fan and I believe I’ve got the spirit of an athlete as well. Let’s do this” I encouraged myself and walked even more fas-ter.
I got to my floor and came out of the exit door. I pa-nted heavily because I had to run up to reach fas-ter.
I held the wall catching my breath.
“Tristan!” Someone called as she came out of the elevator.
I looked up and my heartbeat raced as I watched Deena walk up to me.
Am I hallucinating or what? She really came. Deena came back to me. I exclaimed in my head and began to walk to her as well.
It felt like it was taking ages for to get to each other so we both ran into each other’s arms.
“You came Deena” I said slowly and she wrapped her arms around me.
“Thank you for waiting for me” She said softly and I closed my eyes as I felt her warmth in me.
“I will always wait for you, I’ve been waiting for ages and I will keep on waiting till…” I pursed and she looked up, staring me curiously.
“I want to listen to the last words” She uttered and I swallowed ha-rd.
“Let’s leave it to when we get to Hainan. Where’s your pas-sport so I will book our flight” I cut in sharply and we broke the hu-g.
She dipped her hands into her pocket and brou-ght out her pas-sport.
“Hainan province?” She asked curiously.
“Yes, I think that’s a perfect place to go for a vacation. Let’s go inside so I will get my bag” I said with a smile.
We got into my house and I rushed into my room, picked up my bag and zoomed out of the room.
I booked our flight online.
“Let’s go to the airport. Deena are you really sure you want to go on a vacation with me?” I asked curiously.
“Yes I want to. I wouldn’t have risked it if it wasn’t worth it but I’m hoping our stay in Hainan is a memorable one” Deena said with a smile.
“Of course it would, I’m betting on that” I said with a wide smile.
The elevator dinged opened and we went in. Heading to the car garage.
AUTHOR’S POV
Layla down to Tristan’s work place.
“Oh my goodness, it’s Layla. She’s visiting again. Do you think she’s here to visit Tristan?” Some workers gossiped as Layla walked into the company.
She walked up to the receptionist.
“Hello dear, can you please tell Tristan Cho, I’m here to see him” Layla said professionally to the receptionist.
“Yes ma’am, I will make a call across” The receptionist said and put a call across to Tristan’s office and Max took the call.
“Hello Sisi” Max said over the phone.
“Sir is sir Tristan at the office. He has a guest” She reminded.
“A guest? Is that a friend or a reporter?” He asked curiously and Sisi looked at Layla.
“It’s Layla Gu. Is sir Tristan at his office?” She asked curiously.
“Layla’s here? Anyways too bad, Tristan isn’t at the office. He took a leave yesterday. I’m quite busy, I would have come tell her that myself but please help me tell her that” Max said slowly.
“Alright sir” Sisi said and Max hung up.
Tristan said nothing’s going on between the two of them so I should stop giving her room to feel comfortable around here. If they were really close, she would have known Tristan took a leave. Max uttered in his head and went back to what he was doing.
“Miss Layla I’m sorry but sir Tristan isn’t at the office. He took a leave yesterday and I have no idea when he will be coming back” Sisi informed.
“If you have no idea then I’m pretty sure one of his colleagues know that right?” Layla asked curiously.
“What’s going on? I thought Layla and Tristan were in a relationship. How come she had no idea he was going to Beijing? Everyone in this company knows that and she doesn’t know”
“Everyone got to know that because everyone admires Tristan a lot and he’s practically an idol in this industry” Some employees gossiped as they left for their office and Layla eavesdrop to their conversation.
“Miss Layla I think sir Tristan traveled to Beijing” Sisi said after listening to the employees gossip as well.
“Alright, thank you for your time. I will take my leave now” Layla said holding back her jealousy and she left the company.
What? Everyone in the company knows he traveled and I’m the only one who doesn’t know about it. I actually spoke to him yesterday and he didn’t bother to share it with me. Layla uttered in her head seriously and she dialed Tristan’s number.
But Tristan’s number wasn’t reaching.
He really left without telling me. How come nothing’s working my way today? First it was Deena’s case being closed and now Tristan left Shanghai. I was actually planning on spending some quality time with him before returning to the competitions. I’m not giving up yet. Layla said in her head before entering her car and her phone started ringing.
“Dad I’m sorry but I’m not in the mood to take your call” Layla said seriously and swiftly Evan started calling.
“Why’s he calling me as well?” Layla said sarcastically before taking the call.
“What’s the call for?” Layla asked sarcastically.
“Layla where are you right now?” Evan asked curiously over the phone and Layla rolled her eyes.
“Somewhere you don’t nee-d to know about”
“Are you really going after a reporter? I can’t believe you would stoop so low to a reporter’s level. You’re really in love with a reporter and you keep visiting his office. Like seriously?” Evan half yelled over the phone.
“How do you know about that but he’s not a low reporter. He’s a very popular reporter” Layla clarified and Evan frowned.
“Layla Gu chasing after love, that’s a very beautiful topic. Layla you’re trending everywhere. Take a look around you and you would find out, reporters are sticking around already” Evan informed and hung up.
Layla looked around and just like Evan said, reporters were beginning to hang around.
“Oh no this isn’t good and that’s not a good topic for my career right now. I nee-d to get out of here” Layla whispered and drove out of the car garage.
Wait a minute, this might also be good. It maybe able to drag Tristan’s attention. Since he’s appearing on the internet as well, he might put some thoughts into my feelings for him. Layla uttered in her head with a smile oj her li-ps.
A message popped up on Layla’s phone screen and it’s a message from Michael.
~ “You better call your manager so they take down that ridiculous rumor about you going around in the internet” ~
“Ha! I’m sorry Dad but I’m not taking it down. I’m not denying the fact that I have feelings for Tristan” Layla smi-rked.
*******
Ryan drove down to Tristan’s building and got in.
He was stopped by the security guards.
“Excuse me sir but your face doesn’t look familiar around here” One of the security guards said.
“I’m here to visit friend of mine” Ryan said calmly.
“What’s the name of this your friend?”
“Deena Gu, she’s actually staying with a friend of hers”
“What’s the name of her friend because none of the houses is registered un-der the name you just called”
“I actually didn’t ask” Ryan said.
“Then I’m sorry, you will have to call your friend to come down herself to come identify who you are before you will be allowed in” The security guards instructed and Ryan looked away with his hands in his pockets.
It’s hopeless Ryan, let’s just go home. I don’t think Deena’s cellphone is with her. Before I create a scene here I should leave.
********
HAINAN PROVINCE..
Three hours later, Tristan and Deena landed in Hainan. They’re heading to their suite in Haitang bay where they will be spending their vacation.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful here. Tristan this is the first time I’m coming here, it’s quite adventurous. Let’s take some selfie” Deena suggested with a wide smile as they got to the island.
“I’m sorry I can’t take a photo with you but I will help you take some shots” Tristan said and Deena frowned.
“Do you have any idea why I brou-ght my phone with me? Of course it’s to take cool photos with you and you’re ruining the mood already” She pouted and Tristan smiled.
“Alright, just one shot” Tristan said and Deena ran closer to him and made a love sign on his head behind him, making Tristan reduce his height.
“Was that your best pose” Tristan teased.
“Not really but it makes me feel like I’m being honest to myself on the photos”
“You always give me bu-tterflies” Tristan said lost in Deena’s eyes and the camera took a photo of that moment.
