4 hours later....
After returning from the airport earlier, Fiolet just stayed in her room while looking at her phone, waiting for Bryce to message her.
"Ugh... has Bryce still not arrived? Maybe he hasn't arrived yet because it takes 8 hours to fly there," she murmured.
Knock... knock... knock...
"Let, can I come in?" Yung asked from outside as he gently tapped the door.
"Come in, big brother," Fiolet replied from inside.
Click... the door to Fiolet's room opened, revealing her handsome older brother stepping into her room.
"Get ready, Let. I'm taking you to the night market now," Yung said.
"We're going to the night market, big brother?" Fiolet asked Yung with slightly happy eyes.
"Yes, dear. We're going to the night market. Daddy and mommy are coming with us too," Yung replied, stroking his little sister's head.
Yung's answer made Fiolet smile even more with her teary eyes.
"Alright. I'll get ready quickly. Wait for me downstairs!" she exclaimed eagerly as she hurried towards the bathroom.
Yung, watching her, felt fondness for his younger sister.
Yung then went downstairs to meet their parents.
"Where's Let, Yung?" Mommy Fiorin asked.
"She's getting ready, mom. She'll be down soon," Yung replied.
"Is she still sad, Yung?" Oscar asked, concerned about his daughter.
"Yes, dad. But after I told her that we're all going out together tonight, she's not sad anymore," Yung replied, describing his sister's relieved expression.
"That's good then," Oscar replied.
10 minutes later....
Fiolet, now ready, came downstairs to meet her family.
"Hello everyone, let's go now!" she exclaimed energetically, seemingly forgetting her earlier sadness.
Those who saw her behavior breathed a sigh of relief because their only daughter in the family was no longer sad.
The family walked out of the house and got into the same car to go to the night market.
Skip to the night market....
Now the family is back home after filling their stomachs at a restaurant near the night market they visited earlier.
"Good night everyone. I love you all. Mwah..." Fiolet said, blowing a flying kiss to her family and walking up the stairs to her room.
"Good night, sweetheart. We love you more," they all replied simultaneously with gentle smiles.
They dispersed and went into their respective rooms.
In Fiolet's bedroom....
Fiolet had finished cleaning up. Now she was doing her skincare routine while singing her favorite song. After finishing, she lay down on her soft bed and opened her phone to check if there were any calls or messages from Bryce.
Ring... ring... ring...
Just as she was about to open her phone, a video call came to her number. She hesitated to pick it up because the number wasn't saved in her contacts, so she let the call go unanswered. But the call rang again, and this time Fiolet's curiosity got the better of her.
Fiolet answered the video call but turned off her camera so the person wouldn't recognize her.
"Hello baby...?" the caller said.
Fiolet, hearing the voice she knew well, was surprised because the man she had been waiting to hear from had finally contacted her. Yes, Bryce was calling her via video now.
"Baby... where's your face, darling?" Bryce asked, seeing only darkness on his phone.
Realizing she had turned off her camera, Fiolet turned it back on. Her beautiful face appeared on Bryce's phone.
"Honeyyy!" Fiolet exclaimed, slightly shouting in happiness that Bryce had called her.
"Yes baby... why aren't you asleep yet? It's very late," Bryce said gently.
"I just got back from hanging out earlier. I'm sorry honey..." Fiolet replied, slightly lowering her head, feeling guilty because she had promised Bryce not to stay up past 10, but now it was past midnight and she still wasn't asleep.
"Hey... it's okay baby, don't be sad, lift your head... who were you walking with earlier?" Bryce asked curiously.
"I went out with Mommy, Daddy, and big brother Yung. We went to the night market together tonight," Fiolet enthusiastically recounted what they had done earlier at the night market.
Bryce, listening to his sweetheart's story, just smiled sweetly. He missed his girl so much now; he wished he could return to country A to embrace his beloved. But it was all just wishful thinking because here he was fully responsible for running the company.
"Honeyy?" Fiolet called out when she noticed Bryce had been silent for a while.
"Yes baby...?" Bryce replied.
"Is everything okay there? I saw you were a bit lost in thought when I was talking," Fiolet asked, worried.
"I'm fine baby, I'm okay here, don't worry okay! I just miss you baby, so I was a little distracted while you were talking earlier," Bryce replied honestly, as he had been gazing at Fiolet's face on his phone the whole time. But he had heard everything Fiolet had said.
"Oh... I miss you too, honey..." Fiolet whispered softly.
"Don't be sad baby... I'll marry you soon so we don't have to have a long-distance relationship anymore... just this time," Bryce said seriously with what he had just said.
"I'll faithfully wait for that moment to come, honey," Fiolet replied with a gentle smile.
"Go to sleep baby, I'll stay with you until you fall asleep baby, now put this phone on the table next to your bed and go to sleep now. It's very late," Bryce said softly.
Fiolet heard what Bryce said. After placing her phone on the table with the camera facing her, she quickly lay down on the bed and covered herself with a blanket.
"Good night, honey! I love you," Fiolet said, smiling and showing her dimples.
"Good night sweetheart! Sleep tight baby," Bryce replied, smiling.
Fiolet closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately because she was very sleepy since earlier.
"I love you more, baby... wait for me to pick you up, sweetheart!" Bryce whispered softly because he was afraid his lover would wake up if she heard his voice. He then turned off his phone because he was also going to sleep soon and his phone's battery was only 2 percent.
FYI: The number Bryce used earlier was the number he used in London, so Fiolet didn't recognize the number.
The next morning....
Bryce was going to work early this morning because he wanted to finish all the work he had left for a week.
Ring... Ring...
The sound of Bryce's phone indicated a message had come in. After seeing who sent the message, Bryce immediately opened it with a broad smile.
"Good morning honey ♡! Are you awake? I woke up early today because I'm going to accompany Mommy to go shopping at the market," Fiolet's message read.
Bryce replied to the message happily.
"Good morning baby girl ♡! I also woke up early today because I want to finish my work that I left for a week."
"Have fun baby, but don't look at other men. Remember that your future husband is more handsome than them and most importantly, I'm also rich... hahaha," Bryce replied confidently.
"Hahaha... you're the best honey, I won't look away from you. You also have to keep your promise not to get close to any woman," Fiolet replied.
"I won't look away from you baby! Alright, I'm going to the office now. Enjoy your day today baby. I love you very much ♡," Bryce typed.
"You too honey, I love you more ♡!" Fiolet replied.
ACE COMPANY....
Bryce entered the office with his usual cold demeanor. Lucas, who was next to him, was the same. Cold towards all women.
In Bryce's room, the two of them were talking about the Wolt company wanting to collaborate with ACE Company.
"Sir, are you going to accept the cooperation from Wolt company?" Lucas asked. He used the word "sir" when they were discussing work matters.
"I'll think about it later. Bring this up in our meeting because I also want to hear other opinions," Bryce replied as he typed something on his laptop.
Lucas nodded and excused himself to leave Bryce's room.
During the meeting, all the employees gave their opinions about the Wolt company.
1 hour passed....
Finally, after a long time in the meeting room, Bryce decided to reject the cooperation because there were several issues that conflicted with his company.
