Love by Mistake
Chapter 1
Luke Chase
Hello, is this Ms. Sylvie Jaine, reporter for The Financier?
Sylvie Jaine
Yes, that's me.
Luke Chase
This is Luke Chase, calling from the Evermark Bank's Office of the Ceo.
Luke Chase
Regarding the interview appointment you scheduled with Mr. Stephan Yard a month ago...
Luke Chase
Due to some personal reasons, we need to reschedule it to a week later.
Ms. Jaine: That's unacceptable! An interview article is only as good as it freshness. A delay that long will render it irrelevant by the time it's published.
Sylvie Jaine
My apologies, but a week is too late! Could Mr. Yard perhaps squeeze in some time for us earlier in his schedule?
Sylvie Jaine
How about tonight? We can do tele-interview instead!
Sylvie Jaine
Three hours...
Sylvie Jaine
No, two hours would be more than enough !
Luke Chase
Mr. Yard will be attending an important banquet tonight, I can tell you the venue...
Luke Chase
But I can't guarantee that he will have time for an interview. It might be a wasted trip.
Sylvie Jaine
That's more than enough! Please send me the address! (excitedly)
fl co-worker
Who's Stephan Yard? (while covering her mouth)
Sylvie Jaine
At just 27 years old, he took over Everbank, a family legacy on the brink of bankruptcy.
Sylvie Jaine
Even amid all the doubts and criticisms from the outside world, he managed to work a miracle and turn the situation around.
Sylvie Jaine
The feat made him famous, and he quickly rose to become the most brilliant star in the entire financial world.
Sylvie Jaine
The more attention-grabbing the name "Stephan Yard" is...
Sylvie Jaine
The more recognition the reporter who manages to interview him gets!
fl co-worker
What's going on?Aren't you celebrating your boyfriend's birthday tonight?
Sylvie Jaine
I have no choice. Am I really supposed to bail on Stephan Yard instead of my boyfriend?
Lucien Chancer
What time are you getting off work, babe? I'll come get you.
Sylvie Jaine
I have a reaaallyyy important interview tonight that came up all of a sudden. I'm afraid that tonight... (nervous to explain)
Lucien Chancer
I see... It's alright, work is more important. I'll just make do with my friends.
Sylvie Jaine
I don't feel so good tonight... I won't be able to make it to the movie with you after I get off work...
Lucien Chancer
Don't worry, it's just a birthday, we can always celebrate it together next year.
Lucien Chancer
I'll come to pick you up later tonight. Okay... I need to get back to work now!
Sylvie Jaine
Okay... (feeling guilty)
fl co-worker
*sigh* ...life is so difficult sometimes...
fl co-worker
But seriously, isn't your boyfriend being a little too understanding? You two only just got together after all.
fl co-worker
If I stood my boyfriend up while we were still in our honeymoon phase...
fl co-worker
... he would get so mad at me, no matter what the reason!
fl co-worker
So annoying!
Was Lucien too understanding?
Sylvie Jaine
I suppose so.
Sylvie Jaine
He didn't even asked me where was I feeling unwell. He just hung up in a hurry.
Sylvie patting her own cheeks
Sylvie Jaine
I'm reading way too much into this.
Sylvie Jaine
I'm just being too sensitive right now because I'm on my period. I shouldn't overthink this!
Sylvie Jaine
Since I chose my work over him to tonight, I might have to do a good job.
Sylvie Jaine
I'll find Stephan Yard!
Sylvie talking to herself in her mind
Sylvie Jaine: I've been waiting for over two hours now. Please let me interview go smoothly!
Sylvie Jaine
Hello Mr. Chase!
Luke Chase
I'm sorry Ms. Jaine.
Luke Chase
The banquet's almost over, but Mr Yard still needs to attend to something else...
Sylvie Jaine
I understand. Thank you.
Sylvie Jaine
So many familiar faces. I've interviewed many of them before.
Sylvie Jaine
Stephan Yard might just be here!
Sylvie Jaine
There's still hope!
drunk guy
Hey! Aren't you Ms. Jaine?
drunk guy
are you alone? Let me drive you home!
Sylvie Jaine
Oh, Mr. Lockwood . What a coincidence... I...
drunk guy
Let's go, It's way too hard to get a cab in this rain.
Sylvie Jaine
No need, I'm fine!
Sylvie Jaine
My boyfriend will be here soon!
Conversation between Mr.Yard and Mr. Orion
Mr. Orion Zane is the brother-in-law of Mr. Yard
Orion Zane
I heard from Luke that he she's been waiting for you all night. That's not easy.
Orion Zane
You should give her a ride back, Stephan.
Sylvie Jaine
There's not a single photo of him on the entire Internet! Why being so mysterious?
Sylvie Jaine
Does no one know what he looks like?...
a luxurious car stopped by in front of Ms. Jaine
Luke Chase
Ms. Jaine (opening the back door for her)
Stephan Yard
How about I give you a ride?
chapter 2
Sylvie's mind: "Why are trust fund guys all picking up girls off the streets now?"
Sylvie Jaine
It's all right, thanks.
Sylvie Jaine
My boyfriend's almost here to pick me up. (smiling to Stephan)
Stephan Yard
...(smirk and continue his step towards his car)
Lucien Chancer
I'm sorry babe, this is my first time in this area. I had to take a huge detour to get here. That's why I'm late.
Sylvie Jaine
It's okay, it is pouring down rain after all...
Sylvie Jaine
So, with whom did you celebrate your birthday tonight? Is it fun?
Lucien Chancer
Ha! That's right!
Lucien Chancer
You know me so well that you guess it right!
Sylvie Jaine
Hmm I didn't think that a macho guy like him would use cologne.
Sylvie Jaine
Does he have a girlfriend? (trying to get closer to Lucien)
Lucien Chancer
Stop messing around! I'm driving here! (pushing Sylvie's head away from him)
Lucien Chancer
Be good now... (patting her head)
Sylvie Jaine
Humph! Why did you keep ruffling my hair lately?
Sylvie Jaine
*yawn* Lucien must be home by now. I'll give him a call before going to sleep. (talking to herself while searching for her phone)
Sylvie Jaine
Where's my phone?
Sylvie Jaine
I used it before I left Warner Estate. I don't think it was stolen. Maybe I left it in Lucien's car.
Sylvie is yapping to herself while tapping on her iPad's screen to search the location of her phone
*Baystone Central Hospital*
(shows the location of her phone)
Sylvie Jaine
The hospital?
Sylvie Jaine
What is he doing there?
Sylvie Jaine
I can't afford to wait, It's in the middle of the night. Please be all right...!
Baystone Central Hospital
Sylvie Jaine
*huff* *huff*
Sylvie Jaine
That's Lucien's car
Sylvie Jaine
He is really here!
Sylvie Jaine
But what is he doing at the hospital at this hour? (concerning about him)
Sylvie Jaine
Perfect timing! ♥️
Sylvie Jaine
Lu... (about to shout his name)
She saw Lucien walking out of the hospital holding a girl's shoulder.
This is the conversation between Lucien and his new girlfriend.
Lucien's new girlfriend
Push her away right now, Lucien Chancer!
Lucien's new girlfriend
I'll listen to your explanation after you push her away!
Sylvie Jaine memory recap
Lucien Chancer
It's okay, work is more important. It's just a birthday, I'll make do with my friends. (talking to Sylvie on the phone call the other day)
fl co-worker
You two only got together you know! You boyfriend way too understanding! (if u remember the dialogue in the 1st chapter)
In Lucien's car that night before she went to the hospital
Sylvie Jaine
So you were with Fenton? Does he have a girlfriend?
Lucien Chancer
Stop messing around! I'm driving here!
Sylvie Jaine
Why do you keep ruffling my hair lately?
Sylvie's mind: So, I wasn't overthinking things! There were clues everywhere.
Sylvie Jaine
Huh! What a joke!
Sylvie Jaine
*Dripping* (she wipes her tears while flipping the album of Lucien's and her)
She walked towards the door and open it... Turns out...
