At the international airport
Violet and Greg were waiting at the arrivals gate.
"Why has Alice not come out yet? The plane is supposed to have already arrived by now." Violet kept anxiously looking at her watch.
"The plane might be delayed. Just wait a bit more," Greg reassured his wife, seeing that she could not wait to see Alice.
Violet nodded her head and kept looking out every time someone got out of the gate.
Then, in the middle of the crowd, there stood a woman dressed in luxurious clothing. Every piece of her outfit was extremely special. The design of her clothes and her accessories which included her bracelet and necklace were quite unique. Ordinary people would normally not dress as such. Her sunglasses were so large that they covered most of her face. With flaxen curly hair, she looked radiant. In a well-designed coat, 10 cm. heels, the latest Dior handbag and small grey suitcase, she walked swiftly out of the exit.
By this time, Greg had joined Violet in scanning the crowd to find Alice's familiar face.
Although half covered by her sunglasses, Alice's face showed a big smile. When she saw the two so nervous and anxious, it made her feel special and happy. She especially noticed that Violet obviously couldn't wait to see her and she was touched. The once little girl, held her very dear to her heart.
Alice approached them and stood right in front of Violet. She stared at Violet without saying a word, enjoying those few seconds as she was about to surprise her.
For a split second, Violet noticed a strange woman in front of her but she ignored the woman, focusing her attention on the exit where a few more people had come out. 'What's taking Alice so long?' Violet was starting to get impatient.
"Excuse me, who are you waiting for?" Alice pretended to be a stranger and teased.
Hearing the familiar voice, Violet could't help but turn to look at A
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
ve returned so that I can be with you!" After hearing herself say that, she worried a bit. Greg might think that she would take Violet away from him. So, she quickly added,"I mean Greg is with you now because you're a couple, but when he's busy, I'll take his place and accompany you, so that you won't be lonely."
Violet agreed,"Yes, I do need your company." Then she leaned her head on Alice's shoulder and just sat like that. Both Alice and Violet enjoyed that intimate moment.
Alice said,"I know. That's why I came back."
Greg asked,"So Alice, have you thought about what you are going to do, now that you have returned?"
Alice replied,"I want to rest for a few days. Several brands have invited me to work as their designer, but I haven't decided yet. I'll play it by feel for now." She felt that she didn't need to worry about a job. Even though she didn't get one, she wouldn't starve to death.
Violet replied,"That's right. You have the talent and skills and no matter where you go, you don't have to fear anything and you get to choose the job that you like. So you can just spend time with your Mommy and me for a few days. You don't need to worry about work."
"You are right! Tonight I want you to sleep over in my room." Alice directly ordered.
