"Miss Leng, is no one going to pick you up?" Although the night had already fallen and it was generally dark, Dorothy was still wearing her big sunsses in order to avoid being recognized in public. In contrast, Leena was dressed casually. Despite the fact that she had built a name for herself abroad, there were not many people who knew her back home. Here in her own country, ordinary people usually did not pay much attention to designers unless they were closely connected to celebrities. Instead, they cared more about the brand. As for the designer behind the brand? They did not care much. They only cared about superstars, those who had be famous in TV and movies, as well as those who had be popr as singers and musicians. They were the ones whom people usually followed blindly.
"No, I''m good. Thank you! I just decided toe here in the spur of the moment. So, I''m kind of in a hurry," Leena replied politely with a smile on her face. Although she tried to be as mature as she possibly could, she still looked quite sweet. It seemed that she was born with a natural sweetness and charm in her personality.
"Same here. That''s why I need to call a cab." At this time, Dorothy took out a mask and put it on. Then she took off the sunsses. Looking out of ce with sunsses at night, she would be more visible in public.
"Then, have a nice drive. I gotta go now." Leena said goodbye to her cheerfully after she took a look at the taxi spot. The moment she turned back, she ran into the couple she had met earlier. What was more, the girl was holding a cup of hot coffee, and the coffee was spilled right on Leena''s clothes. None of them had expected that. So all of them froze, standing mortified for a moment.
"It''s not my fault. You came to me and hit me," the girl murmured, looking at Leena and having no idea what to do. She was so shocked that she forgot to apologize.
"Are you okay? Was that hot coffee? Did you get burned?" Dorothy came rushing over and asked Leena in a caring tone. Then she took out a napkin from her bag and wiped the coffee off nervously.
"I''m fine. Don''t worry about me. Thank you!" Fortunately, it was in the winter, so she was wearing a fewyers of clothing and thus she did not get burned by the hot coffee.
"Your clothes have gotten wet, though. Would you like to go to the restroom and get changed?" It was such a cold evening that although the coffee was spilled on her coat, the spilled coffee could seep into the rest of the clothes under the coat and would soak them wet after quite some time.
"It doesn''t matter. I''ll get changed when I get back home. I''m fine, really! Okay? Don''t worry about me. Thank you." Leena smiled kindly at her. She did not expect that she was such a warm-hearted woman. Now she had a different opinion of her.
"Okay! Bye!" They waved their arms and then walked away in opposite directions. Both of them turned their backs on that couple as if they were not even there.
Leena was able to hail a taxi and got inside. After she told the driver her destination, she suddenly felt that she might have acted too abruptly. She did not tell anyone that she came here. Probably everyone would be astonished if she appeared all of a sudden. But she wanted to see Kevin so much, that she came here without hesitation.
It usually took more than one hour from the airport to Kevin''s family home. Plus, there was a traffic jam on the way. So by the time she finally arrived, the sun had gone down and sky had already be dark.
The soldier guarding the gate did not know Leena. So she was not allowed to go inside though she told him who she was, showing some identification. She never expected this to happen.
"Look, Major General! The woman standing there at the gate. Isn''t that Leena?" Lee slowed down the car and spoke to Kevin who was in the backseat to call his attention. That time he wasn''t looking out the window. His head was lowered, looking at the file in his hand. "It can''t be her. She did not tell me she would being here." Although he said such words, he still raised his head from the file and looked outside.
When he spotted that woman, Kevin''s heartbeat sped up immediately. He couldn''t believe his eyes. There she was standing, with a small suitcase in her hand. Her hair was messed up by the wind with strands flying in the air. Half of her face was covered by the hair, but Kevin recognized that face and body frame, anytime and anywhere.
"Lee, stop the car." Regardless of the reason why she came to the capital city, Kevin felt his whole world light up the moment he saw her.
He didn''t wait for the car topletely stop. He opened the door and got out. He held his breath and walked towards her, his passionate eyes staring at her and smiling the broadest smile. As he got closer to her, it felt like she was the only person in the whole world and all the other things just faded in a blur. She was his light.
At that same time, Leena seemed to feel a pair of burning eyes staring at her as a man on her right side walked towards her. She raised her head to check who it could be. The moment their eyes finally met and stared at each other, both of them felt that time stopped and the world around them froze.
"Hello you! What a nice coincidence, Kevin!" Leena smiled and greeted. Although she felt a bit worried in her heart as if she did something wrong, she brushed it aside and kept smiling, looking sweet and beautiful.
"Yes, haha. Is it a coincidence?" Kevin said the same in order to match up with herme way of greeting. How he wished he could hold her in his arms and kiss her until they were both out of breath. But he held himself back. He reached out and took the suitcase from her. Then they walked back to his car.
"Hey! It''s really you, Leena!" Lee opened the door for Leena and greeted her with a sincere smile on his face.
"Hi, Lee. Yes, it''s me. It''s been a long time," Leena responded, feeling a bit shy.00??????????Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
