Semua Bab Purest Hearts : Bab 131 - Bab 140

John hid his smile. ‘Ah Francois… never thought that a day would come when you wanted the comfort of your friends. The only thing is, you don’t even know that that is what you want. You have no idea how honoured I am and happy to know that you need us for your comfort. Even if you are not aware of this, I am still happy,’ thought John, swallowing his smile. He looks at his other two friends, and smirks. ‘This two idiots would be over the moon if they knew of this, but of course, I won’t tell them. That wouldn’t be fun.’ John tooks a mouthful to avoid any evil grin that could be leaking out on his face. Afterall, his friends are really not that idiots. They’ve known each other for a long time, and they can easily notice if he is not careful. He paused his thoughts for the time being, as he made simple remarks to his friends' conversations. 

It was time for the four friends to leave the restaurant. Carl sneakingly looks at the screen on Marianne’s face again. He grins and tries not to show it to his friends. However, his actions are not missed by the three men. John and Michael look at each other, with a knowing look of why their friend is acting like that. Michael did not really care much, as he knows that Marianne is loyal to Francois and would not ever betray him. While John, the psychologist, silently observes Francois. He is certain that Francois had noticed Carl’s overly top reaction or Carl’s unusual behaviour. Ever since he had taken the course of his profession, his top mission is Francois. To John, Francois is a very special specimen that needs to be studied. For years, he had watched Francois. If there is even a slight change in him, John will not miss to put it on record. Francois’ driver brings the car near the main entrance. A cue for Carl and Michael to bid their goodbyes. Then, they left as soon as th

On the screen is Marianne, who is standing still, and is being checked by Mrs Smith. She is wearing a beautiful dress that compliments her pretty face. The dress does not look tight on her, but it still emphasizes her delectable curves which made her whole look more alluring.  Carl could not help himself to gawk at the screen, and even John who had already seen Marianne earlier is still surprised that that is what she looks like underneath her high end coat. The entrance of Francois on the screen made the two friends come to their senses.  John has a wry smile on her face. ‘Well, that was a surprise. I didn’t think I'd be caught up with Carl.’   On the way to the restaurant, Francois said to her “Can you tell me more about Kenny Jones? I’ve seen his profile and the story about his childhood

Marianne tries to sort out her thoughts by accepting her sad fate tonight. Yet, she still cannot let go of the niggling feeling inside her. With a disregard to modesty, she said “I have to say this for the peace of my mind. You know, I thought that this was going to be a ‘date’. A proper date. I did not expect it to be like this. And I was really ecstatic then to the idea that I am going out on a date with you. In fact, I even requested help from the ladies which I kinda regret as they have  different ideas. They only caused me more stress, and not to mention my extended endurance for tolerating the constant nagging of Mrs Smith. I do feel sorry for myself.”  Then, Marianne thought that her words came out wrong that it had made her look more pathetic than she wanted it to be. So, to justify her words, she said “Well, you know that I have been cooped up inside the castle most of the time, so a da

Returning to their table, Marianne gives Francois a hateful accusation look of a 'How could you!?' flaring in her eyes. Anyone who would look at Marianne’s face would be able to tell how angry she is, but Francois did not seem to take any notice of her state. His relaxed manner of how he is enjoying himself made Marianne more annoyed at him. ‘Hateful Bastard!’ she thought as she threw him one more hateful glance.   To put her composure back, Marianne tries to think of positive thoughts. ‘Good thing everyone wasn’t so brazen to accept his abrupt invitation. Even Steven just gave him a salute. Hopefully no one will come as I don’t want to prepare an abrupt party... Oh, wait! Does Francois want me to throw a party for Carl?’ The thought made Marianne look alarmed and suddenly feeling guilty that it never occurred to her to throw a party for Carl.&nb
