Luke Chase
Luke Chase
Regarding the interview appointment you scheduled with Mr. Stephan Yard a month ago...
Luke Chase
Luke Chase
Due to some personal reasons, we need to reschedule it to a week later.
Ms. Jaine: That's unacceptable! An interview article is only as good as it freshness. A delay that long will render it irrelevant by the time it's published.
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
My apologies, but a week is too late! Could Mr. Yard perhaps squeeze in some time for us earlier in his schedule?
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
How about tonight? We can do tele-interview instead!
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
Three hours...
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
No, two hours would be more than enough !
Luke Chase
Luke Chase
Mr. Yard will be attending an important banquet tonight, I can tell you the venue...
Luke Chase
Luke Chase
But I can't guarantee that he will have time for an interview. It might be a wasted trip.
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
That's more than enough! Please send me the address! (excitedly)

Even amid all the doubts and criticisms from the outside world, he managed to work a miracle and turn the situation around.
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
The feat made him famous, and he quickly rose to become the most brilliant star in the entire financial world.
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
The more attention-grabbing the name "Stephan Yard" is...

Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine

If I stood my boyfriend up while we were still in our honeymoon phase...
fl co-worker

fl co-worker
fl co-worker
So annoying!
In Sylvie's mind
Was Lucien too understanding?
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
I suppose so.
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
He didn't even asked me where was I feeling unwell. He just hung up in a hurry.
Sylvie patting her own cheeks
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
I'm reading way too much into this.
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
I'm just being too sensitive right now because I'm on my period. I shouldn't overthink this!
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
Since I chose my work over him to tonight, I might have to do a good job.
Sylvie Jaine
Sylvie Jaine
I'll find Stephan Yard!

There's not a single photo of him on the entire Internet! Why being so mysterious?
