It'll Come Naturally

"Haha! Nana, do you think that I am drunk?" Kevin suddenly pulled her into his arms and blew hot air around her neck.

"Drunk people would never admit that they are drunk," snapped Leena while avoiding his tease. She was also trying to untie his necktie from his military shirt.

"Leena, are you so eager to taste me now?" Kevin flashed a sly smile. Leena's hands paused when she saw that smile on his face. He didn't look like the usual upright major general at all. Leena gazed at him unbelievably.

"You are shameless and dirty! You untie the tie yourself!" Leena gritted her teeth and cursed. Then she broke herself free from his embrace. Why hadn't she found about this side of him before?"

"Are you mad at me, Leena?" Kevin sat up and glanced at her.

"Go take a shower, I will go downstairs to get some soup to sober you up," Leena said as she avoided looking at him. Yes, she was mad because he made her worried. He drank so much despite the fact that he knew how vulnerable his stomach was to alcohol. He always blamed Leena for not taking good care of herself and always making him concerned. However, Kevin was no better than her in that matter.

Seeing Leena's sullen face, Kevin laughed. He didn't feel angry at all. On the contrary, he was surprised to see Leena become so hot-tempered. In fact, he didn't drink much. He only drank a few glasses as necessary for socializing. He was far from being drunk. They were going back home. Kevin came here by car so they could just drive back. That would save them from a lot of trouble since they didn't have to wait for a long time in the airport lounge if they went back by air.

"Lee, the New Year is coming in one month. What gifts do you prepare to bring back to your family?" Knowing that Lee would go home to visit his family during the New Year Holiday, Leena took the chance to ask. In this way, she could help him to prepare the gifts. She was always a very thoughtful woman.

"I haven't got any idea yet, but I think, the happiest thing for them is to see me come home," said Lee with a grin. Kevin was driving the car, so Lee was pretty much free.

"Yes, you're right. Your family must miss you very much since they haven't seen you for such a long time." Leena could understand what it felt like when one's family was away. She remembered that when she was in Paris, she always felt like there was something missing even though her family often visited her. It was not until now that she realized what it was! She missed the cheerful ambiance when everyone got together at home.

One's life was doomed to be full of boredom the moment he chose to be a soldier. Thus, the moment when those soldiers put on their uniforms, it also meant that they had chosen to live with loneliness and had to suffer from separation from their family. Leena came back to her usual carefree life upon returning to S City. It was still a long time before autumn, thus, Leena didn't have to hurry about the preparation for the autumn fashion show. However, she couldn't understand why a particular someone always appeared in her life.

"Rain, when did she suddenly become the star of FX International Entertainment Company?" Leena had planned to ask Rain to have dinner with her. However, the huge poster which was placed on Rain's desk had her sidetracked and surprised.

"Oh! She just joined the company several days ago. She will act in a movie that our company has recently invested. She chose to work with our company. We already signed the contract. What? Are you still thinking about the rumor on the report? When did our fearless princess become so cautious?" Rain teased. As a businessman, he would not let any chance of making money slip away. Dorothy was a very popular star now and she still had space to grow.

"But didn't she sign for another company before?" Leena asked doubtfully. Did Dorothy cancel the contract by herself? She wondered.

"Well, it was said that the contract was expired and she was looking for a new company. That's why she is with us now. We are lucky to have her. Taking her saves us a lot of money." A smile cracked Rain's lips. He always looked utterly carefree.

"Oh, I see." Leena smiled back and wondered if she was thinking too much. However, she really felt strange that there were too many coincidences happening between them. Moreover, there was no valid reason to explain what was going on. She didn't know where her eerie feelings were coming from either. She just had the instinct that it was not that simple.

"What other reasons could she have to join us? Let's go! It is my treat today," Rain said as he put the poster aside. The poster was sent to him from the entertainment company. The company wanted to get his opinion about the poster. However, he was not interested in it. He would say 'yes' as long as it looked good. Compared to the other people in the entertainment company, he was not in the position to offer very professional comments.

"Okay, be prepared to empty your wallet." Since Leena knew that it was difficult for her to conceive, her smiles never appeared as sweet and bright as they used to be. There were complicated emotions in her eyes and she looked sad and gloomy the whole time. Nevertheless, her innocent beauty never faded away and her melancholy made her all the more captivating.

"That will depend on how much you can eat." Rain felt sad as he looked at Leena's forced smile. He already knew what happened to her but he didn't ask. He just pretended to know nothing about it because he didn't want to make her feel depressed.

Walking out of the office, they happened to run across Edward who just came back. His face was sullen and cold. The anger in his eyes was so prominent that it was easy to think that he met something that made him very irritated.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
