Love Began with the First Meeting

She was screaming with joy inside her head. 'He did not delete it! Yes! He kept the photo in her phone.' But why was she so emotional last night?

Becky was enjoying the sunlight while seated at the hotel's terrace. She sat quietly like a picture.

Yoyo set the breakfast prepared by the hotel on the table and looked at Becky. She sighed inwardly, admiring how beautiful the woman looked at this very moment. "Breakfast is ready, Miss Yan," she announced.

Brian promised to come to the hotel after he finished work last night, but he never came. He gave his word only to break them.

Anticipating his arrival, Becky waited and waited and waited the whole night. Her heart slowly sank as it grew late. She wondered if he changed his mind. Then it crossed her mind that he might have accompanied Molly last night.
