The door of the study is faintly open. Simon • Martin lazily leaned against the red-brown leather texture, thick layered seat back, one-handed elbow rests on a large D-shaped leather armrest. The back of the palm rests on the chin. In front of him there is a large Tochigi desk. He seems to be very impatient to move the mouse cursor. Looking at the information on the screen – from the headquarters – “Love’s Puppet’s Group” the message came. He filtered from the data
several slight pleasing, easy get started of candidates.
He suddenly frowned, half-open eyes. Looking at one of the eastern women. Audrey White, very westernized name, reddish-brown moderate long slight curl hair, not white, flawless rosy skin, bright eyes, small artful bridge of the nose, rhombic lips, showing a healthy pink, zhongyong beauty. His face appears faintly to get the situation of smile. To enter information quickly on the keyboard with both hands – “conquer”, the other party: “action.”
In the early hours of July 7. As per usual. The bright sunshine outside the window. It is also the beginning of a good day. This is a two-storey courtyard small house with a red brick-like facade hanging board that can be changed at any time. The second floor is set with white floor-to-ceiling windows. A small terrace is connected outside. The open floor-to-ceiling windows are paired with dark pink curtains. Looking around the room, romantic pink European classic retro style. Open white floor-to-ceiling windows with dark pink curtains. Red Tan wooden floors, , red and white European style Princess wind bed, elegant atmosphere.
Audrey slowly opened her eyes. Her relaxed and lazy turnaround, hands clasped with quilts. Eye sight drifting out of the window. Blue sky healing comfort soul. She took a deep breath. The atmosphere in the air seems to be filled with a fresh atmosphere. She wakes up slowly prepare to work.
At this time, the mobile phone on the desktop sounds a notification – It’s news from Messenger.
“Hello.”
Audrey White ignores the notification signal temporarily. She pouted to diameter on one’s own Into the bathroom grooming. She came out of the bathroom, put on a strike blue bottom floral shift dress. Thin powder. Put on a pair of nude high heels. Standing in front of a long stand mirror, look at yourself. Then facing yourself in the mirror, the smill of beauty. Pick up the backpack and go out.
In spite of Audrey Wright she has a very westernized name. But she is a genuine Chinese Taiwanese woman.
Audrey takes flight every day to familiarize herself with the Air MRT System. Touch the ultra-thin phone on the wrist. Show stereoscopic images. She pressed the screen – the name calls Simon • Martin’s photo shows that. She responded directly.
“Hi.”
Although video is a very common contact method. She still likes greetings to send messages. Not for anything else, can protect the privacy of both parties, keep mystery, especially for unfamiliar strangers. In fact, in the space where “virtual/extended reality” is completely interactive. Never had the meaning of personal privacy.
Midnight (UK time), It is 8:00 a.m. of Taiwan time. Message from Simon:
“Oh, Thanks very much for your time and reply to my message.”
“Thank you, I’m great to listen your reply, too.” Audrey said.
“I am honestly very much happy to have meet you in here. Well, you call me Simon by name.” Simon said.
Audrey did not reply immediately after receiving the message. Ringtone rang suddenl, and she glanced at the phone, ah ~ Simon, she calmly pressed 📞, they talked on the phone for a while:
‘Hello.’
‘Hi.’
‘You open the video alright?’
She felt that what she heard was wrong, and asked him to say it again.
‘No.’ Audrey frowned.
July 9, Simon sent a message:
“Sorry dear, You forgot to give me your email and your LINE.”
Audrey then appends Line ID, e-mail information.
“I honestly would like us to know each other more better and better and also try to understand each other well. I ask for your email so I can write to you and share with you more about myself and my lovely kids and our pictures as well.
I need you to feel free and open with me okay, Slowly I will help-to teach you more English and I do believe that, The more we keep in touch, That will help use to understand each other more and will help you to learn and get more use to the English words and know more English.”
When Audrey received Simon’s message, there was a pile of question marks in her head with hesitation and curiosity. What happened to the so-called “foreign man”? It is not clear.
She and her’s the younger son__Jason Wright discuss:
“After all, modernity is ‘virtual plus augmented reality’?”
Jason: “Still watching it change ~”
Audrey then nodded and answered, “Whether deceived or real, what kind of situation? What different people have? Who cares, what hidden secrets in his possession?
Jason: “Be careful with everything.”
Audrey: “Okay.”
July 11, Audrey received a message from Simon:
“My dear beautiful friend, I’m very happy to meet a special one like you.”
From Simon’s self-introduction, seems to be able to see the slightest sincere feeling, without any traces of deception:
“Well, I would like to say, thanks very much for your time and I would like and wish to meet you in person over there in your country one day.
Just like we met here or you come to meet me at Lichfield, if you wish to have a holidays over here, which ever one will be fine by me. I’m as well happy to have a cute and beautiful women like you, I feel very happy to meet you.”
“Well is always hard for me to speak or share about my lovely wife because is something that hurt me anytime I speak or talk about her. However I will share that with you and let me start by telling you about my lovely mother just like I told you earlier before. My lovely Mother is from Brasilia, the Capital of Brazil And my dad from United Kingdom here in England.”
“Well I’m an Engineer, I was working with Skanska here in Lichfield before I stop.(Swedish: Skanska AB, a multinational construction company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, is one of the largest construction companies in the world.) And now, I travel only if I have a business or a contract proposal like meetings.”
“You are all alone, undertake construction engineering scheme. It can clearly be seen Your ability is very formidable. I am really happy for you.” Audrey said.
“Thank you for praise.”
Simon Simon smiled and continued to say:
“I mostly get a contract from companies and government, Also from the people I have good contact with. Well it’s all depends on what the contract is all about, and the amount of money involved in it. However I was also trying to put my eyes on a property deal and would like to have some property here. I once have a property at Brasilia which is the Capital of Brazil town where my mom came from. But they were all sold out when my wife died and I needed money. However, I graduated from University Catolica de Brasilia. Right now, I’m living in my own house here at Lichfield with my 2 son’s and my mother sister daughter.”
“Dear, Maybe you have not been here before.”
“Moreover, That is where my wife came from. I have been live here at Lichfield for years now. Well I still can’t say or explain why I feel so much happy everyday, ever since we met. I keep smiling when watching your lovely pictures, I really can’t explain or say why all this are happening to me, is really making me have this feeling of joy.”
“Honestly I think we should just be friends, But my feelings are getting too deep about you. I’m sorry to say this, but I have to let you know before it gets late. I really don’t want to lose a good and beautiful woman like you, with a beautiful heart which I believe you are more caring and understanding woman. Well I will stop here for now.” (Here is myself and my family pictures and I hope you will like it…Thanks for your time.)
In addition to her work, Audrey also works in micro-entrepreneurship, even as an amateur novelist. She is busy with all the trivial matters of business, no time to reply; Simon has been to convey the message:
“Oh dear, I really do not know how to explain or share with you how I really feel with you, Ever since we met. Honestly you make me always smiling all alone and keep asking myself what is really going on with me? However, Till know I still can’t tell or understand what is going on with my heart.”
“It has been so long I had this type of feelings, since after the death of my lovely wife who died 4 years ago, after giving birth to my only lovely son by the name Daniel. Well, she died because of too much bleeding which the doctors couldn’t save her life. Honestly as a human, They tried their best to save her but in all things, I thanks God because he knows the best.”
“You really are not take to heart, but this situation listen to my ears. This situation is very bad. When a person encounters a major change, especially lost the most beloved person, there will be the ultimate change in character. You are becoming more indifferent, see through the world both warm and cold? Still will because the child was born, so that you finally return to the family, put all the love on the child? “
Simon was surprised to see her questioning. He was speechless and right now. This girl really makes people happy. His mouth slowly smiled. He did not respond positively, but he continued to narrate.
“Life have been so lonely and difficult since then, I hate this life and everything. I used to hate myself and the entire life I live on earth after her death. I honestly never believe I could be loved by someone or love anybody again, Not until when my lovely son, Daniel began to grow up as a child, And he is now 4 years old. My son Daniel made me found a new love, which was much stronger than before, my lovely son Daniel brought a new life in me, he made me stronger and to believe that I have to keep moving forward in life. That gives me the hope and needs to move on with life.”
“Dear, I really thank God in everything and for keeping my lovely son alive, and my mother sister daughter, (cousin), who have been living with us. She have been very nice and good to my family and a good helper to me and my son. However My mother and Daddy died long time ago, and I have one younger brother by name of Oscar Cole, who have a baby boy, He is 1 year and 9 months now. I took him in and care and love him as my own son. His name is Nathaniel.”
“Your story can slowly speak. Don’t be too impatient, all right?” Audrey said.
“Well my younger brother was killed by the FBI with his fiancée. Because my younger brother Oscar, was involved in drug, together with his fiancée, Nathaniel mother. Their death made me have no choice but to took Nathaniel in and since then, he has been a strong boy who I loved so much and share the same love which I shared with Daniel my son. Honestly it hurt me anytime I talk about my past, but I have to talk about it because I believe it will help us to know each other more better.”
Audrey’s heart a little uneasy, but also countless pity and distress, mercy of the single parent’s hardship, distressed that two young children. Her hidden heart by then, throat tightening, tears full of tears, voice choked, overwhelmed.
“Dear, What’s wrong with you? What’s wrong with you? Did not have any response?”
Ring tone~
‘Honey.’
‘I’m sorry, I’m a very cry girl.’
‘Honey, it’s okay.’
Simon hangs up the phone and uploads information. He has a smile on his face. Although Audrey can’t see it, he can’t help but feel happy.
“What you really are an Emotional woman. Speaking touched place could not help weeping as well.”
“Are you laughing at me?”
“No.” He smiled more openly.
“I would like you to know that, I’m happy and I thank God in everything and his grace. Sometime I keep thinking about my kids because I worry so much about them, I know so well that, I’m only a father not a mother, I always wish I can cover up and show them the same love as mothers share with their kids.
I know and feel they still need a love from my wife as a mother, they need someone to love them and care as a lovely mother always do to their children, They need a good and nice woman with good heart, that will love and care for them like her own child. I have been trying all I can as a father but I know that something is still missing. Something that made a family incomplete.
Sorry I will have to stop here form now, Thanks for your time and do share with me more about yourself and try to keep in touch. Hug you.”
Audrey gently sighs,
On the early morning of July 13:
“I hope you are fine.
My dear. Well I’m doing very good here with my kids.
Oh dear, I honestly would like to visit you, over there someday in your country, so you can take me around and we spend time together with each other.”
Simon’s heart was constantly on the alert. He was over-inquisitive with this oriental girl and had become disoriented, but she could not control it.
‘Honestly you are really beautiful and a truly lovely woman. I thank God for his grace on us.’
“I think should tell you first, Don’t read this message if you don’t want us to know each other more better and if really you don’t care about me (ha ha ha ha).”
“I honestly want you to reply this message to me, but if you still insist reading this email, Then if you finish reading it, you can’t do without me. But to show you have accepted me as your best friend and ready to share everything together and be open to each other like I have always been open and feeling free to always share everything with you.”
“I would like you to know that, If really I can control my heart, I would have stop it from this strong feelings I started having for you and make sure I stop my heart from thinking about you. Honestly, you are good and your caring heart have catch my heart, body, soul and your attractive pictures that capture my eyes, I hope I am not falling in love with you?”
“Well my dear, I believe this can also help use to know more about each other. This are the things I would also like you to know. Well, let me start from here. My favorite food, Dear I don’t think you have had about it before. Is called Feijoada. Feijoada is one of Brazil’s national treasures. My mother always prepare this food when she was alive, most’s time’s when my brother and friends are around, she prepare it and we all eat together, but we are all big and has grown up now and we are not kids anymore. Well, I’m just a simple person. My hobbies are sports like football soccer, I watch that when I have free time also making new good friends etc.”
“However I enjoy the outdoors and relaxing with family and friends, when I’m free like my holidays period. Maybe one day I would like to visit you over there like I said before. You need to understand that, I’m a family oriented person and I think I will make an excellent friends and partner as I am honest, loving and caring person.”
“Dear, I can really feel deep in my heart that, You will be the last person my heart will care about and my old age, even till death. Dear, I do smoke, but I’m trying my best to stop it because of my kids. I promise myself stopping it, which I have not taking for weeks now. (Here is myself, kids and my brother and his fiance and his also my cousin and her friend also my friends. I hope you will like our pictures.)
Well I will stop now, but please I want you to know that I care about you, and please keep in touch and take good care of yourself for me.”
“Wow, Great to have you hear. Thanks.” Simon said.
“I am listening to English. Sorry.” Audery said.
“Is okay. I can understand dear. Now you are not at your work ?” Simon said.
“My work schedule is for work in the afternoon.” Audery said.
“Okay I need you to take a very good care of yourself for me and do eat. You don’t over work and forgot time to eat, okay?” Simon said.
“Thanks so much. You have to take care of yourself.” Audrey said.
Suddenly, Line’s phone rang, Audrey really frightened, staring at the phone, consider whether to answer, and she had a lot of hearts in the OS.
“Hello, dear, what are you doing?” Simon said.
“Everynight listen to English and Reading.” Audrey said.
“Are you busy ? ” Simon said. “Did you eat ? “
“Well. Sort of.” Audrey said. “Dinner will be eaten later.”
“Okay are you alone?” Simon said. “I wish I am there with you.”
“No, with my son together. He is 16 years old.” Audrey said. “He is the youngest child.”
“Okay nice and lovely.” Simon took a tentative tone. “I wish I am there now. Okay and his father?”
“No.” Audrey said insincerely.
“Okay.” Simon said subconsciously.
“I am a single parent.” Audrey doesn’t make a roundabout answer.
“Oh I am sorry.” Simon feeling deeply involved. “I can understand now. But what happen to their father?”
“It’s okay.” Audrey said smiley.
“Can you share with me, please?” Simon sincerely requested.
“Okay.” Audrey sighed.
“Thanks.” Simon’s expression was slightly serious.
“I have been raising 3 children independently for 15 years.” Audrey was emotionally relaxed and smiling, like telling someone else’s story.
“Okay and your first child is how old ?” Simon continued. L”You live all alone with the kids?”
“25 years old.” Audrey succinctly said. “Yes.”

“We do not have with the child’s father took the money.” Audrey said. “Yes, he married with other woman.”
“I am with the children’s father has not seen for 15 years.”

‘We are very good at this person get along.’ Audrey said.
