Chapter 19 The Place That Frightens Her
It had been two years. The Golden Night remained extravagant, wild, and terrifying.
The car stopped outside the entrance, Alva looked at the golden plaque of the Golden Night.
Under the night sky, the colourful lights made it appear like a blooming poppy, breathtakingly beautiful.
But for Alva, this place was nothing but fear, and scary.
Her life changed drastically from here.
Her child was also separated from her here, resulting in them both living in a different world. Her child has passed on.
This was the place that left a scar on her heart.
A place she could never forget despite how long the time has passed.
“Miss Alva, my beautiful and elegant lady, please step out of the car.” A tender voice came as Frank stood outside the car,
extending his gentlemanly hand.
Alva tugged at the corner of her mouth and grabbed her bag, stepping out of the car.
It was all in the past now, buried by time no matter how many wounds and pains there were.
She had to live.
She had to face it.
Frank looked at his empty hand and sighed, “Alva, tell me, what do
I need to do to win you over?”
Alva looked at him seriously and said, “Change your gender.”
Frank’s eyes widened. “Oh my! You actually…” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Alva curved her lips and walked inside.
After entering the luxurious lobby, the smile at the corner of her mouth faded.
Two years had passed, but her heart still trembled when she returned here.
The client was already waiting in the private room. As they entered, Frank immediately gave the other person a big hug.
They seemed to be familiar with each other, and the other person was very friendly.
After exchanging greetings, they took their seats. Frank asked Alva to show the client her design sketches.
Before coming, Frank had already told Alva about the importance of this client. They had to work hard to secure a deal with this
person.
Upon client taking over the design sketches, Alva began explaining her sketch ideas.
The client listened attentively, asking questions from time to time and nodding occasionally.
The atmosphere was fantastic.
Half an hour quickly passed, and the client said, “I will consider it.”
They closed the design sketches.
Immediately, Frank said, “Duke, if you have any questions, feel free to speak up. We can discuss it, alright?”
“Precisely! But I haven’t eaten yet. Do you want me to discuss the project with you on an empty stomach?” the client replied.
“Of course not! Let’s order some food!”
Soon, the dishes were served. Unsure if it was due to sudden relaxation, Alva suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.
She said to both of them, “Sorry, I need to use the restroom.’
Frank noticed that she didn’t look well and said, “Go ahead.”
Alva nodded and turned to leave.
She arrived at the restroom and came out shortly after, standing in front of the basin, looking at her reflection in the mirror.
Her makeup was perfectly done, appearing gentle and elegant.
However, her face was a little pale.
She had been pushing herself to come here, thinking she could disguise herself well, but it seemed that she had overestimated herself.
She took her bag, touched up her makeup until her face showed no signs of anything unusual, and then she went back outside.
As she was leaving, she took out her phone and sent a message to. Frank.
She informed him that her menstruation came, and she needed to temporarily leave to buy sanitary pads.
After sending the message, she was about to put her phone back in her bag when she bumped into someone.
Her phone fell onto the ground, and Alva immediately apologised.
She bent down to pick up the phone, but before she could, her hand was held by the person, and with a strong force, she bumped into their embrace and rested on his chest.
She was startled and looked up.
To her surprise, she met a face that seemed to penetrate her inner soul.
