Chapter 5
Liam Adler
Being a professional blogger also requires time and talent.
Liam Adler
You write so well that you're wanted by the top publishing companies to write a book on something.
Liam Adler
Your writings are so precise and accurate that even most of the students worldwide refer to you.
Liam Adler
And you run the side business of giving online tutions to students.
Liam Adler
How much do you earn from online tutions, btw?
Cordelia
(speechless) You did a background check on me, didn't you?
Liam Adler
Well, you're an important case. The most important one after all.
Cordelia
Important? Say, you know that I'm an Aldine, so what level of case am I?
Cordelia
Is my level that low?
Cordelia
(stunned) Hey, the joke went on a bit far..
Liam Adler
It's not a joke.
Liam Adler
The Aldine family is a SSS level to the country, while you're the SSS level for the Aldine family..so you should know where you stand in term of importance..
Liam Adler
The Aldine family information is Top Secret of the country, and it's the only top secret our country has..
Cordelia
But what's so important about us that I'm so important to the country?
Liam Adler
Reach 20 first.
Elise Laurent
Del! (runs towards the car)
Cordelia
(opens the backseat door) Come on in, El!
Elise Laurent
First take this! (gives her a bag)
Cordelia
(takes) W-whay is it so heavy? (keeps the bag aside)
Elise Laurent
(gets in) Well, it's our arrangement for the next 5 hours.
Cordelia
So many snacks!?🤩
Elise Laurent
Yes, I know I'm the best!
Cordelia
I was saying that you're going to starve but you're really the best!🤩
Elise Laurent
What do you mean by "starve"!?
Elise Laurent
This can last a normal person for 3 days, but it's going to be over in a few hours by us.
Cordelia
You see it's been 6 months since I last had any snacks so..😅
Elise Laurent
Del, share equally.
Cordelia
I was going to anyway. I can't keep the one feeding me starve. ☺️
Elise Laurent
(chills run down her spine) What do you want now?
Cordelia
Can we go for shopping later? I forgot to buy makeup yesterday and the ones I have are going to be over soon..
Elise Laurent
No way...you want me to tell Aunt that I bought them with your money?!
Cordelia
Please, El. Mom's going to freeze my card if I buy them so quick!
Cordelia
And, don't forget that we share our makeup.
Elise Laurent
Then...you will let me have an extra chocolate?
Liam Adler
' Why is there conversation so weird? '
Cordelia
Do you want some, Liam?
Cordelia
Why, you don't like them?
Liam Adler
I've a diet to follow.
Cordelia
Oh,..bad for you. (opens a chips packet and starts munching on them)
Elise Laurent
The Lieutenant General of the French Army!?
Cordelia
Am I the only one who didn't know who he was?
Liam Adler
I believe that my photos were not leaked.
Elise Laurent
Ah, no. My father is in airforce. He knows you and talks about you regularly at home, that's how I know you.
Liam Adler
Airforce? What's his name?
Elise Laurent
Simon Laurent. He's the General of Air force.
Liam Adler
Oh, you're brother's daughter?
Liam Adler
Yes. Brother Simon and I have worked together in a mission before. He and I are brothers in arms. We get along quite well.
Elise Laurent
He's actually your father's age. It doesn't feel weird to call him brother?
Liam Adler
It was strange at first, but his good looking face made it less awkward.
Elise Laurent
But why are you here?
Cordelia
He's assigned to protect me. (eating chips)
Elise Laurent
Protect you? For what?
Cordelia
My parents said that Paris is a little dangerous..so here he is.
Elise Laurent
It's you from whom Paris has danger from.
Cordelia
But they don't know that, right?
Cordelia
BTW, right now we're going to Dijon. My car's there.
Elise Laurent
Which car is it anyway?
Cordelia
Wait, El, let's not buy makeup.
Elise Laurent
What happened?
Cordelia
New products will be released in 2 weeks time. My mom will send me those. I don't need to spend money.
Elise Laurent
Oh, it's over already?
Cordelia
No. Almost there.
Liam Adler
Girls, we'll be in Dijon in 10 mins.
Elise Laurent
I'm also excited to check it out.🤩
Grand Hôtel La Cloche - Parking lot
Cordelia
Where is this guy? (outside the parking lot)
Elise Laurent
Why don't we step out? The weather is nice today.
Cordelia
Alright. (gets off the car)
It was at that time that Liam saw Elise..
Liam Adler
She looks just like brother.
Liam Adler
But a bit more beautiful than him.
Elise Laurent
(saw a car coming out) OMG! It's that car!🤩
Cordelia
(looks where Elise is looking at) A limited edition Bugatti!?🤩
"It's the Bugatti Chiron Hermes edition. It's only one made in the whole world."
Cordelia
My mom had it planned before..
"Here's the key, lady. Have a nice time."
Cordelia
Thanks. (takes the key) (takes out her phone and clicks a pic before sending it to Ardere)
Liam Adler
(takes out the snacks bag and keeps it in the backseat of the new car)
Liam Adler
Go ahead, I'll follow you.
Elise Laurent
(looks at Liam) !
This was the first time she saw Liam...and his looks struck right at her heart..
Elise Laurent
(clenches at her chest) ' Too handsome... '
Elise Laurent
Ah, ok! (gets in)
Cordelia
(starts the engine)
Cordelia
Woah! What a nice sound!🤩 Let's go! (sets the location in the map and drives away)
Elise Laurent
Drive carefully!
Cordelia
BTW, where shall we go first? To the university or my Dad's apartment?
Elise Laurent
Uncle has an apartment in Paris!?😶
Cordelia
I also didn't know of that till a while ago.
Elise Laurent
Then let's go to the apartment first.
Cordelia
Alright!🤩 (speeds up)
Elise Laurent
Open the roof!🤩
Cordelia
Yes, Mademoiselle!🤩
Elise Laurent
This is not an apartment...
Cordelia
It's a penthouse!
Elise Laurent
With such great interiors!🤩
Elise Laurent
Del, I want this room!🤩
Elise Laurent
It looks just like my old room!
Cordelia
Then I'll be taking this one.
Elise Laurent
And this place is so luxury yet cosy..
Cordelia
A stargazing point!🤩
Elise Laurent
So beautiful!🤩
