Chapter 346 - [Bonus ]Meet Again

Some students majoring in fashion designer from the UAL campus had started to scatter looking for their respective targets in order to do the assignments given by Professor Gilbert. This assignment was always conducted almost every end of the semester, because Professor Gilbert wanted his students to have hands-on experiences directly in the field to see the development of fashion in various countries that had been determined. Not only observing the tabloids or social media, Professor Gilbert wanted his students to be able to understand whether there were other things that affect fashion changes in each country, whether it was because of the culture of each country or their lifestyle. This was very much welcomed by the students, even though they had to spend more for the cost of doing assignments during the end of semester holidays like today.

Anne and Linda had also gone looking for a place some distance from the hotel where they were staying. Riding on the bus, the two girls tried to find a place with lots of pedestrians. After riding the bus for almost thirty minutes, they finally got off at a crossroads in the center of Luxembourg.

"Wow Anne, that's a lot of pedestrians. We'll get things over with quickly at this rate." Linda screamed with joy when she saw the many people passing by in front of them at this time.

"Don't be so loud, Linda, you'll be considered a nuisance." Anne whispered softly to Linda to remind her friend to be careful.

"Oops, I forgot! Hehe, sorry sir, sorry miss... I didn't mean to disturb you all," said Linda quietly while covering her mouth and apologizing to the people who passed in front of her, even though she was sure that those people wouldn't hear what she said, but Linda still apologized.

Anne chuckled at Linda's behavior. "What are you doing, apologizing with that soft voice? How could they hear you, Linda?"

"Well then what should I do, Anne? I don't know them. So it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I've apologized," said Linda quickly trying to defend herself.

Anne's laughter grew louder when she heard the silly excuse from her best friend. Soon, Anne and Linda went to find a comfortable place and made some preparations. Although Anne brought her camera, but Linda also brought her small camera. In fact, Anne never asked Linda to buy a camera. However, because her best friend wanted to take pictures of many things, Anne finally allowed Linda to express herself with her own camera.

"You just sit and wait here on this bench, and I will find a place that..."

"No, no no, I will go. You sit down." Anne quickly cut off Linda's words. She didn't want the incident that happened yesterday to happen again. "You still remember how my camera broke?"

Linda laughed loudly without making a sound hearing Anne's words, she had no reason to refuse Anne's orders now. After all the preparations were done, Anne wrapped her camera around her neck and prepared to leave the chair where she and Linda were sitting.

"Don't be stupid, Linda, just sit here and take photos of those passing by. I'll be on the other side of the road," said Anne quietly, for the umpteenth time asking Linda not to do stupid things like yesterday again.

"Yes, Anne, you've told me that more than four times already. I understand, Anne," answered Linda quickly.

Anne moved her hand towards Linda's head and stroked it gently. "Just watch out if you mess around like yesterday, I'll break your leg."

"Oh my God, you're so mean!!!" Linda screamed with drama.

"You really are something. Okay, I'm going. Remember what I've told you, Linda."

"You're so noisy!!! Quickly go," said Linda curtly to chase away Anne who started walking to cross the zebra cross.

Anne waved her hand up in response to Linda's words. She then quickened her pace because the traffic light was about to change. From the bench where Linda was sitting, she wiped her tears of emotion. Linda knew that Anne was like that because she was afraid to be alone. Although Anne looked strong and remained patient in front of others, her heart was very weak. Linda knew very well how fragile Anne's heart was. One Sunday after Jack was declared dead by accident, Linda saw Anne wailed in her apartment room. Anne cried so hard that her voice was gone because she kept calling Jack's name. At that time, Linda was actually going to take Anne to work in the flower shop. However, after seeing Anne's condition, it was impossible for her to go to work. Linda finally cancelled her intention to go to the shop, and let Paul go alone and gave some time for Anne to pour her heart out. Linda went back to her apartment unit and made Anne's favorite food and brought it back to Anne's room, pretending not to know that she had seen Anne cry.

That was why Linda was not angry even though at the moment Anne forbade her to do much alone, even though she wanted to explore Luxembourg on her own. Linda knew that Anne was afraid of losing again, so Linda always asked Professor Gilbert personally to always pair her with Anne when they were abroad to carry out this task. Linda took a deep breath and waved her hand at Anne, who was already across the street. She started to work because so many people started passing by. Even though the photos were not as good as Anne's, Linda still wanted to take part in this mandatory task.

From across the street, Anne stood by the lamppost. She used her camera to take the best photo of the many passersby. Her smile widened when she saw a ten year old cradling her puppy in her arms, for fear of her puppies being left behind as they walk across the street.

"What a beautiful sight," said Anne quietly as she continued to aim her lens at the little boy who finally got into the car with his parents.

Because there were so many people passing by at the crossroads not far from where she was, Anne then stepped closer to the crossroads while still smiling because she was so happy to see so many people passing by. When Anne was looking down as she wanted to reach for her vibrating cell phone, she accidentally bumped into a big tall man who was standing outside a restaurant.

"Sorry, I-I didn't mean to," said Anne quietly, sincerely to the man she had just bumped into.

"Be careful when you walk, Miss, focus on the road you are walking on. Don't play with your cell phone like that," said the man standing in front of Anne in a deep voice.

"Yes sir, sorry, I was really careless," added Anne again regretfully without lifting her face.

"What's wrong, Felix?" asked a man who had just come out of the restaurant in a soft voice.

Thump!

Anne's heart was beating very fast to hear the words of the man who had just spoken. She slowly raised her head and froze when she saw the figure of the man who she had been missing was standing in front of her. When Anne was about to open her lips suddenly her legs felt weak and had no energy, until she finally lost her balance. But just as Anne's body was about to fall, the man who had just come out of the restaurant moved quickly and grabbed Anne's waist.

"Are you okay, Miss?" asked the handsome man who was none other than Alan Knight Clarke in surprise.
