CELINE’S POV
I was in the cab preparing to head home when my phone unexpectedly rang,
and when I checked the caller, I saw that it was Jenny… a childhood friend of
mine, who lived in New Jersey, only nine miles away from the city. Even
though we don’t see each other very often, we make sure to stay in touch
with each other via the phone at all times.
“Hello, Jenny…?” I greeted her, and she immediately let out a loud scream,
which caused me to grimace as I slightly pull the phone away from my ear.
“Hey, what’s happening?”
“Celine… I need your help!”
“Why? What’s the matter?” I inquired since I was concerned about what
happened to her. “You have to calm down yourself first and tell me what’s
going on!”

“Well… I just got a new boyfriend!” She shrieked with joy, and despite the fact
that I rolled my eyes‘ and felt a twinge of envy, I want to express my genuine
happiness for her.
“So… what exactly is the issue at this point, hmmm…?”
“He is currently at the airport and on his way there to work in the city, and he
will be there shortly. Could you please assist me in picking him up?” She
inquired, and it was impossible for me to refuse her request.
“Okay, sure…” After I had finished my call, I talked to the taxi driver and
requested that he take me to the airport rather than going home.
Following a short period of time, the cab came to a stop in front of John F.
Kennedy International Airport. Before hurriedly exiting the car, I made the
payment and thanked the driver who smiled genuinely at me in return.
I entered the airport but I didn’t have any idea of where to go. I had never
taken a plane or even been to the airport my whole life. “Excuse me… where
should I pick up someone who just arrived?” I leaned over and asked the
A
woman who was seated behind the information desk.
“Over there.” she pointed to the right side where the “arrival” sign was seen.
“Thank you…” I smiled as I swiftly made my way over to the other folks who
were also waiting at the arrival area.
I glanced around trying to find a guy matched with Jenny’s description of her
boyfriend whom she addressed as Blade, and according to her… he is tall,
handsome, and he looked like a movie star.
The gathering was thrown into disarray all of a sudden, and the girls began
chatting excitedly about a man who appeared to be a movie actor. After
following their gazes, I discovered a young man who was wearing a dark blue
suit with a white shirt on the inside. His hair was light brown in color and was
tousled, like he just got up from the bed. He was in the midst of the crowd
and was carrying both a phone that he was busy with and a suit case with
him.
It appeared as though he was the person I was looking for… but since I wasn’t
certain about it at the time, I decided to take a chance on him.
“NL” I made sure to have a big grin on my face when I met him for the first
time. “I’m sorry to bother you, but are you Blades” The guy turned his
attention away from his phone and onto me when he heard my volce, and I
couldn’t help but secretly appreciate him for doing so. Jenny was absolutely
correct; he does have the good looks of a movie star. I couldn’t help but feel
uneasy as he peered at me with his marble–gray eyes, and as he did so…. c
shudder raced down my spine.
“Yes, and you are…?” He asked me with a puzzled expression on his face, as
though he didn’t have any idea how I know his name.
“I’m Jenny’s friend…” I put out my hand for a handshako, and he took it with a
broad grin on his face very Immediately. “She requested me to pick you up,
and she mentioned that you were going to work hore, is that correct?”
“Yeah..” he nodded as he released his grip on my hand. “Thank you…”
I was shocked to see that my phone had run out of battery just as I pulled it

out of my pocket to contact Jenny and tell her that I had already found her
boyfriend. “Would you be able to give Jenny a call and let her know that i’ve
found you?”
“Oh… I am truly sorry to say this but my battery has died as well, Sec…?” After NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
he showed me his phone, I heaved a breath of disappointment and nodded
to indicate that I understood.
“All right, let’s get going. I’ll help you find a place to stay first…” I said as I led
the way out of the airport but he suddenly interrupted me.
“But I’m starving… Can you bring me to a place where I can get something to
eat first?” he asked me while theatrically rubbing his tummy and giving me a
pouty–lipped grin. “Please…?” His already gorgeous features began to shine
even more brightly.
“Okay…” I nodded in agreement, feeling a rumbling in my stomach at the
mention of meal. “Let’s get something to fill our stomachs first. Do you have a
certain dish that you enjoy eating the most? I’ll buy it or pay for it myself!” I
said with glee as I hailed a cab that I could see was parked at the entrance

Chapter 27 My Best Friend’s Boyfriend
of the airport.
“Speaking of that, I’ve been dying to eat in Enigma again… my favorite
restaurant.”
Enigma? But it was the most expensive restaurant in the city.
It didn’t appear as though this was Jenny’s beau’s first trip to New York City;
could it be that he’s been here before?
