Chapter 58 - The Perfect Strategy
Davi woke up suspicious the next morning.
She was staring at the book on the table she was holding last night, then her eyes fell towards the small white teddy bear on her bed. She was still half-asleep but by the time she remembered her dream last night, that Sei was caressing her cheek as she fell asleep on his arms, she got up instantly and ran towards the door.
Her hair was messy as she quickly walked down the stairs. She looked around but saw no one. She then walked towards the kitchen and thankfully, Mr. Gou was there preparing her meal.
"Mr. Gou, did Sei came home last night?" she asked, surprising the butler slightly.
"He did arrive late at night, young miss. How did you know?" he replied with a smile on his face. Davi"s eyes immediately sparkled as soon as she heard that he had arrived.
"Where is he?" she asked, sounding excited.
Looking at her brightened spirit, the old man felt sorry as he answered her. "He already left, young miss."
Davi was silenced. She didn"t know why but this time she really felt so d.a.m.n upset. She sat on the chair and rested her head on the table as if some powerful force just sucked all her energy away.
Why did he leave without even waking me up?
At that moment, realization finally dawned on her, that she was being like this because she had been missing him too much. She wanted to see him so badly.
"Please don"t feel sad, young miss. The young master dropped by last night just to give you this." Davi immediately raised her head upon hearing the old man"s words. Her mouth hung open as she stared at the cellphone he was giving her. "The young master said that if you wanted to contact him, then use this phone. His number is already saved in there."
Davi was looking at it with eyes filled with disbelief. Moments later, she accepted it and quietly opened it. When she saw the single phone number saved in it, Davi finally smiled and she hugged the old man briefly before walking away, leaving the old butler smiling happily for her.
…
At the quiet gazebo, Davi was deep in thought. She realized that Sei surely had some not-so-simple reasons for all of this and she felt bad for feeling upset towards him. However, she comforted herself right away, telling herself that feeling upset was normal and it looked like the result of her showing how upset she was, was actually a good thing. She was happy to know that Sei was actually looking out for her even though he was not beside her.
Thinking about it, she was motivated to work even harder. She breathed deeply and her eyes started to burn pa.s.sionately.
However, as time went by, Davi"s eyes narrowed as she stared at the phone on the table. She looked as though she was simulating a certain strategy before starting the battle, but it looked like she was having some trouble.
She was considering the fact that she couldn"t possibly call him whenever she wanted since she didn"t know where he was at the moment. What if he was busy or on the other side of the globe and it was already past midnight where he was?
Apart from that, Davi was also having a hard time choosing which step to execute first.
However, after minutes of thinking, an excited and meaningful smile finally carved on her face. She looked like she finally found the perfect strategy.
