Chapter 105 - Play Tourist (1/2)
After eating, Brione and Cedric did not waste time as she too had received a call from Mitch to return to country D.
Will arranged for Brione and Olivia to meet at a common boutique, where Brione was planning to shop for some presents to bring back to her family and friends. The set-up was to coincidentally run into each other while shopping.
Olivia greeted her first, ”Brione?!”
Brione looked at her with a wide smile on her face and quickly hugged Olivia as she burst out loudly, ”Olivia! It's been a while!”
The plan was for Olivia to accompany her with the shopping before they went to a predetermined restaurant to have some lunch. Their table was located at some distance from the others so they could talk freely.
”Do you have some news about Cedric's motor skills and birthmarks?” Olivia asked curiously. Will had informed her that Brione had some important news to deliver, so she was expecting updates about Cedric's motor skills.
”Yeah, I couldn't tell you anything over the phone as I thought it would be better to tell you everything in detail in person. I also wanted to give you some news about Gavin…” Brione stated with a smile. Olivia's eyes widened when she heard Brione use the name Gavin instead of Cedric.
”Yes, it's been confirmed that the man I am with now is Gavin. Gavin and Cedric are identical twin brothers. Right now, the King and Gavin are facilitating a special elite task force to investigate both Cedric and Oliver confidentially.
Oh my God, control your tears, Olivia, please. We are not sure if you are being followed, so you need to keep smiling, please.,” Brione reminded Olivia, who started to smile while trying to control the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes.
”I'm so happy for you. I am glad to know that Cedric did not have a change at heart. But I am worried about Cedric. What if…” Olivia could not finish the thought.
”Don't lose hope, Olivia. I didn't lose hope that Gavin is alive somewhere. I'm sure Cedric is too. He's around somewhere. We just need to find him and bring him home.” Brione consoled Olivia with a smile.
She had once been in the same place where Olivia was now. The thought of losing someone you love is very painful, especially when you have regrets for not doing things with them while they were still around.
She held Olivia's hand on the table and gently squeezed it.
”I'm sure he is alive. Keep praying for his safe return so you two may be united soon. His father and twin brother are doing everything they can to find him,” Brione whispered and Olivia nodded with a smile.
Brione grabbed something from her purse and handed it over to Olivia.
”What is this?” Olivia asked.
”Open it,” Brione whispered shyly.
It was a notebook and a pen.
”It's a simple present that I thought to give you. You can write anything in there, things you wanted to say to Cedric while he was gone, like how much you miss him every single day or about your dreams with him.” Brione teased with a smile, making Olivia blush hard.
”You're too sweet, Brione. Thank you for this. I hope we can keep in touch even when you and Ced… I mean Gavin, return to country D,” Olivia whispered.
