She reached out her hands to examine him, but Wesley grabbed them and said, "I'm here to be with you. Nothing else matters. I have only two hours. So, let's not waste any more time."

"So, he came back just to sleep with me?' Blair's tears stopped falling when the thought occurred to her.

"You...get away from me! I don't want to sleep with you."

Before she could push him away, Wesley pressed her against the door and kissed her passionately.

He had only two hours to spend with her, so he made the most of it. He spent one hour and fifty minutes in bed with Blair, five minutes showering, two minutes getting dressed, and the last three minutes saying goodbye to Blair.

“I probably won't be able to contact you for a while. Don't you dare sleep around behind my back. And don't even think about finding yourself a gigolo. If I find out that you're fooling around with someone else..." He paused to caress her cheek.

"...I'UL kill you."

Blair's eyes flew open. ‘He was blocked on WeChat. How did he see my update?"

Wesley went on, "I don't see the ring. I hope that the next time I see you, you'll be wearing it. And one last thing. My gift for you." He put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a pretty bracelet. He put it on for her.

Blair looked at the beautiful bracelet; a teardrop streamed down her cheek and ran into her long, thick hair.

With one final kiss, Wesley left.

He was in Alorith for less than four hours. He spent one hour reporting to his supervisor, two hours with Blair, and around thirty minutes travelling.

This time, Wesley was gone for the Longest. Half a year had passed. He hadn't called Blair even once.

At first, she had worn both the ring and the bracelet Wesley had given her. After having spent three months without hearing from him, she took the ring off. And three more months later, she took off the bracelet too.

The New Year was coming up, but still not a word from Wesley. This year, Keith once again invited Blair to celebrate at the Leonard family residence, saying that Wesley was not home and Cecelia was bored and needed her company. He insisted that she come over.

After one year's hard work, near the New Year, Blair was promoted two ranks higher. Now, she was the youngest department supervisor in the company.

And she had to go on more business trips now.

After the New Year, it was decided that Blair, along with her department manager, would fly to Dreles where Wesley was.

They would be staying there for a week.

Blair was so thrilled that she couldn't sleep the night before they set out, just because she and Wesley would be in the same city.

It didn't matter if they could meet or not; they would be at least closer to each other.

On the day of the trip, Blair got up early. Their plane was scheduled to take off only at noon. There was time to kill, so she decided to do some shopping.

She wanted to dress cute every day during the week she was in Dreles, just in case she ran into Wesley.

The plane touched down in Dreles that evening, and Blair checked into a hotel. In the dead of the night, her mind was filled with thoughts about Wesley. She wished that he knew she was in the city. She wished that he would come and see her.

But he didn't come. And she didn't run into him the next two days either.
