This Time I Will Love You のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

“Kianna?” As soon as he called my name, I was glad I was here beside him. “Yes? Drake?” I caress his head, he had a hard time too. I am glad he is recovering faster. “Wait, you work?” With a frown on his face, he pulls me to his side. To my surprise, I was locked in his arms. “Drake…” But still, he was being careful. Just so I won’t hurt the shoulder I have wounds on. “I told you… you can’t do that… right?” “But I have to. I must… Time is important” “But you are much more…” Putting my hand on his face as I caress it, his arms still won’t let me go. Not that I want him to. But… I have to do more things. I still need to- “Hey, what are you thinking? I am with you and yet I am not in your mind?” Giggling, why is he acting so childish? Is he still sick? My my, that can’t be helped… “Can you stop being cute? Drake, it isn’t good for my heart” And kissing me on my neck, I can do nothing at all. “Drake…” “Let me stay like this for a while. You are so stubborn and won’t liste

“Kianna, what is all of this about?” Signing the papers, I just let Seki say what she wants. After all, what I am doing surely isn’t what I planned it to be. Getting back in the industry, collecting allies I can have…. Just for the sake of overthrowing that person who ruined my life… I can’t help but want to laugh at myself. Is it really worth it? What I did… is it really how it would end? “We will just slow things down. I mean, the company is earning lots of eyes. They would really put a spark between me and the Hinsen. That ain’t good” “But, I… I can’t understand. I… I mean, are you just gonna stop all of that?” I heard the door open. Just like I thought, it was Serena. “Kianna, I heard about it… wait, what is gonna happen to your revenge? I know the bar is not full but you have charge. You have the chance…” Saying those things, Serena got a point. Even I know that much. I know that if I just continue… it may take time but I would get there. Even the people I am managing are

“Kianna… ? Maybe… you should call him to clarify… I mean. Who knows, she maybe just a co worker. Right?” I know Serena is just trying to cheer me up. But even so… I can’t help but think much about things. Co.. worker… she says… I hope so… But… what is it in my heart? I… Should I just think of that as something a co-worker would do? I don’t even want to think about it… I just… “Yes… I would talk to him but… I think it would be better to talk about it in person… And… I also planned to surprise him. The news said there is a high probability it would snow tonight, right?” Forcing a smile, I tried to but failed… Gulping…. That is the only thing I can do. I lost appetite and after we both ordered drinks, Serena didn’t say anything. I was also quiet during our ride. Serena insisted on Drake’s office. Even though it was in the opposite direction of where she would go. As soon as the car stops, I can finally see the wide entrance of Drake’s working place. Looking back at Serena, she ha

Picking the money he gave me, I did not even realize how I forgot about my change. But… It was indeed Francis… What is he even doing here?? I did not even know it was Francis who was the owner of that voice was… How come I didn’t know? “No problem” He mumbled in reply as he removed his mask to eat his barbecue. And just as I thought, I was not surprised when I confirmed it really was Francis. Slightly putting distance between us, I am not sure how to leave. I mean… I don’t even know where to go and I am still enjoying my meal. Maybe he should just leave, right? Hah, let us not mind him. It is not as if he knows me anyway. I mean, I am in disguise, right? And he surely didn’t recognize me judging this night light and my scarf and clothes right? Right?? Not minding him I just continue to eat my barbeque. The snow falls down but it isn’t as heavy as I thought it would be. Just small droplets are enough to make you feel like in a fantasy. Slightly gigging, the moment I bite at th

“How long will this take?” I asked Francis. He was looking at the area as he was checking if we could pass through. Just one more turn and we can head straight to the highway that connects to the office. But there seems to be no hope of getting through. “It seems like a van hit the other vehicles. Causing damages even on the nearby stalls. The whole road was closed. I asked and they said it would take time for the help to arrive. They are stuck in XXX since the snow was heavy there. They can’t get through…” So it was like that… but how about the other alternatives? I am not that knowledgeable about this place but for sure there would be some routes, right? “I also tried asking about the other lane and yes we can get through there but the road is covered with snow” Now that he mentioned… the snow is falling heavier than a while ago. If I lay my hand catching some, in a minute my hands would be covered by snowflakes. What should we do? It is also getting cold… Looking around, the
