Jeanne’s Pov:
Just then, Alex’s phone started ringing and Evans had to halt as he received the call.
“Hello?
“I know, Franco. I’m still working on it…”
Oh! This is the hand of God at work.
I quic-kly tried getting Evans’ attention.
I waved my hands and since he was facing my direction, it was easy for him to see me.
Then, I signalled him not to call my name and he muttered why? And I impatiently signalled him to just do as I say and he looked confused.
I had no idea Carl was staring at us the whole time and when I got a know, he just scoffed and looked away.
“Don’t worry, Franco. I’ll try my best to be throu-gh with it by next week.
“Yes. Bye” he said and dropped the call.
“Franco’s still on your n£¢k for the duet, right?” Daniel asked almost immediately.
“Yeah. I’ve been so busy and don’t even have time to work on it. I’m so choked up.” He replied and t©uçhed his forehead with two f!ngers.
“By the way, Evans” he continued, now staring at Evans.
“What were you saying about the coffee?”
Evans sh0t me a stare and I shook my head.
“Uhm…actually, sir Alex, I was trying to say it was made by me. I Uhm. ..I just learnt a new way of ma-king it” he replied and I heaved a big sigh of relief.
Thank goodness!
“Well,” Alex said.
“I think I like the new taste. So, from now on, I want my coffee prepared this way.”
My eyes beamed immediately. Did he seriously like my coffee that much?
Oh my!
Then he stood up with Ambrose still lying quietly in his hands
“I’ll be in my room” he said and took the stairs.
Evans stared at me again and also headed for the kitchen and after a short while, I excused myself from molly and also went for the kitchen.
“Why did you make me lie to him?” Evans asked immediately I got in.
“I’m sorry, Evans. But if Alex had gotten to know I made that coffee, I’d have been a corpse by now” I replied and he flin-ched.
“And what do you mean by that?” He asked.
“Well, Alex has warned me never to t©uçh what’s his”
“What?”
“Yes. You know he dislikes females and he asked me to leave. And when I refused, he warned me to stay far from him.”
“Woah. Are you serious?”
“Yeah” I replied and rose my brows.
“So what do we do now? He said he wants his coffee prepared this way and he takes coffee every evening” he said with a grouch.
“Well…maybe I can teach you how to prepare it” I replied.
“I don’t think so, Jen. You see, the thing is, Alex knows my cooking skills and if it tastes different from the actual one, he’s definitely going to sp©t it and get suspicious.
“Uhm…how about you keep ma-king the coffee while I pres£nt it to him like I did?” He asked and I g@sped.
“What? What if we get caught?”
“Of course we won’t. It’s not like he’s going to come into the kitchen to see how I prepare his coffee” he said and I rolled my eyes and sighed.
“Fine. Just make sure I don’t get caught, okay?” I said and he nodded and I went ahead to make Molly a glas-s of milk.
I returned to the dining with the glas-s of milk and couldn’t find anyone there. Even the loverboys were not there.
I took the staircase and went for Molly’s room and there I found her lying on her big comfy be-d. And with the look in her eyes, it was obvious she was dizzy.
“Hey, baby. Are you throu-gh with your homework? ” I asked as I sat next to her on the be-d and she just nodded.
“Okay then. Get up so you can take your milk” I told her as I helped her sit up and she collected the milk from me and gulped it down.
“do you want me to sing you a song?” I asked.
“Yes” she replied lightly as she la-id back on the be-d and I smiled and started singing a barbie song.
she smiled as I sang along and even before I was done, she sle-pt off.
I smiled and covered her with the duvet and turned off the lights.
Then, I left the room.
I stared at Alex’s room for a short time by the time I got outside and thought of knocking and running away.
I giggled and left the pas-sage before I’d get myself into trouble.
I went into my room and la-id happily on the be-d, facing the ceiling.
I felt happy, remembering Alex liked my coffee. If only he liked me as well.
I took my diary and wrote all about my experience for the day.
I wrote about my first day in Alpha high studio. I really wish I’d get to pas-s the training and become one of the lovergirls. But the other trainees had also seemed h0t and talented. Will I be able to beat them?
I wrote about my encounter with My role model – Kim – and how she had snubbe-d me.
I felt so hurt remembering it and I wished she’d get to change.
Then, finally, I wrote about Alex.
First, I remembered his hurtful words to me in the morning, but I tried to cover it up with the fact he liked my coffee – even if he has no idea it was made by me.
‘Don’t worry, sir Alex,
Even if you’re mean to me,
I’ll still continue to crush on you’.
I wrote happily in my diary and closed it.
Then, I fell back on the be-d and closed my eyes and as I did, a smile stayed on myl-ips.
☆☆☆
I opened my eyes and found myself in a strange place.
The entire place was white and snowba-lls filled the whole floors.
Where am I?
And how the hell did I get here?
The surroundings were deserted and just dried up trees stood at some point.
Then, I saw two figures ahead and I strained my eyes to have a look at them, but couldn’t recognise them.
I decided to take a step forward and as I did, the two figures bec@m£ clear.
It was Alex and Theo!
What?
Am I dreaming?
They were facing each other and didn’t seem to be aware my pres£nce there.
What is happening?
Why am I seeing Alex and Theo?
“You betrayed me, Alex! We were meant to be brothers” Theo said angrily and pushed Alex by the che-st, but he didn’t fall.
“I’m sorry, Theo. But they wanted her. I had no other option” Alex replied in a pained voice.
He sounded bittered and remorseful.
Theo weakly fell on his knees and buried his face in his palms, bur-sting into tears.
I was stunned.
“I can’t do without her” he cried.
“plea-se, get her back to me. I can’t bear staying away from her. I won’t survive it”.
Tears were running down his cheeks as he cried like a baby.
There was so much acrimony in his voice; so much pains.
I looked at Alex and noticed he was also weeping.
Oh, God!
What’s going on? Why’re they so hurt?
What happened to them?
☆☆☆
I opened my eyes and discovered it was all a dream.
I coughed a little and sat up, puzzling over it.
What kind of a dream was that?
I…I can’t comprehend it.
I sat quietly, trying to recall everything that had happened.
I really did see Theo and Alex in my dream and they were both crying.
*you betrayed me, Alex!*
*they wanted her. I had no other option*
Their words repla-yed in my head and it left me gobsma-cked.
Why did I have such a dream?
Why does it have to do with Theo and Alex?
Could it be possible it was because I was thinking too much about the conflict between them? Could that be the reason?
But, somehow, I still felt restless.
It could really be possible it’s just a mere dream.
But, what if it’s not?
What if it really has a meaning?

Jeanne’s pov:
I woke up early the next morning and took my bath and after that, went ahead to prepare Molly for school.
I wore her uniforms and brushed her hair and took her school bag.
“Come on, Molly; let’s go down for breakfast” I told her as I lest the room and stood outside, awaiting her to come out.
I took a look at Alex’s room which was in front of me and noticed his door was slightly open.
I strained my n£¢k to take a peep and I was able to see him sitting on the be-d with Ambrose in his hands.
But luckily, he wasn’t facing the door.
I noticed he was kind of looking sad as he pet Ambrose who la-id quietly.
He really looked sick.
“Stay strong for me, okay?” Alex said softly and nuzzled it.
At that point, I kind of felt pity for both of them.
“I’m throu-gh nanny” Molly said as she finally c@m£ out of the room and I turned to look at her.
“Okay, let’s go” I told her and we left for the dining.
Mrs Tristan and the rest of the Loverboys were alre-ady seated there and Molly and I joined them.
“How was your yesterday’s training, Jeanne?” Mrs Tristan asked as I dished out Molly’s meal.
“it was fine ma’am. We were told everything we were expected to do” I replied and she smiled back at me.
“So how do you see the other trainees? Do you think you can defeat them?” Carl asked and I shrugged.
“I don’t really know sir. They all seem pretty good to me .and unfortunately, I don’t even know how to dance.” I replied.
“Seriously? You can’t dance?” Malcolm asked and I nodded shyly.
“well, maybe the training might be if help” Daniel said and my eyes wi-de-ned in surprise.
Did Daniel just said something nice to me?
Wow!
After a short while, Alex walked in, brightly garbe-d and extremely handsome.
Even the pale look on his face couldn’t hide it.
“Good morning mum” he greeted casually as he walked over to her and pe-cked her on the cheek.
Hm. How sweet.
“Good morning Alex. Don’t tell me you’re leaving without breakfast” Mrs Tristan asked and he sighed and t©uçhed his forehead.
Hm. It seems he’s fond of doing that – tou-ching his forehead with two f!ngers.
“I’m sorry, mum. I just don’t have an appetite for now. Besides, I have a meeting to catch up with.
“By the way, Daniel, could you help me call one of the vetenerian doctors to check our on Ambrose, plea-se?” He turned to Daniel and asked.
“Okay Alex. Sure” Daniel replies and he nodded and left.
I hurried up my breakfast with Molly and when we were done, we also left for school.
I dropped her off at the preschool and went for mine afterwards.
We received the normal morning lectures and when it was 12 PM, I left for my training at the Alpha Studio.
I guess it’s really not going to be easy on me – managing my studies and going for the training as well.
I c@m£ out of my ride and was about going into the building when a black SUV that was coming my way drove by and splashed water from the floor on me.
What?
I skrie-ked and turned to the car which st©pped and the driver c@m£ out immediately. It was a young pretty woman.
Wait; I know this woman.
Yes! She’s Kimberly’s mum!
“Oh, dear; I’m so sorry. I never meant to do it” she said apologetically as she scuttled to where I was and stood in front of me.
Then she di-pped her hand into her bag and brou-ght out a napkin and surprisingly, she started cleaning my b©dy with it.
OMG!
“Were you hurt?” She asked as she cleaned my hands and I just stared dumbfounded.
I can’t believe someone this rich can actually be this kind.
Then whys her daughter so rude?
She was very young and pretty and looked very clas-sic. No wonder Kim is so pretty as well.
“Are you alright?” She asked staring into my eyes and I shrugged out of my thoughts.
“I’m…I’m fine, ma’am. plea-se don’t bother” I said and tired st©pping her from cleaning my b©dy.
“No, no. plea-se, let me” she insisted and went on with it.
“What’s your name?” She asked with a warm smile.
‘Uhm…Jeanne, ma’am” I replied, staring into her big blue eyes.
“Okay Jeanne. Once again, I’m sorry for splashing water on you. I didn’t mean to. I hope you’re fine now?” She said and I nodded.
‘Yes ma’am. I’m fine. Thanks a lot” I replied and she smiled and held my hands, cleaning off a little stain on it.
I couldn’t explain it, but I kind of enjoyed her t©uçh on me.
Then she was done cleaning my hand but surprisingly, she still held on to it and stared into my face.
“Uhm…Jeanne” she called.
“is. ..is it possible we’ve met before?”
I felt a wi-de feeling in me as I stared at her.
Although I’ve seen her on TV and other media, but I’m not so sure she’s seen me.
“I…I don’t think so, ma’am” I replies and she stared at me for a little more while before letting go of my hand.
“okay then. I’ll be on my way. It was nice meeting you by the way.” She said and I smiled and she turned and headed due her car.
I kept looking at her as she got to the door .
And just when she was about opening it, she tuned around and looked at me and for an unknown reason, we smiled at each other.
Then she waved at me and finally walked into the car.
