Tear Her

Chapter 32

The party have already started but Alice was just in the table, watching everyone socialize with others, Seb and Dawin went to some business man and as usual talks about business.

Even though Alice was just sitting in the table peacefully while sometimes sipping in her wine, some eyes is still staring at her, shocked to see the famous celebrity breathing the same air as them.

"Um hello?" Alice snaps her head to the right to see a girl, maybe she is still in high school, wave her hand at Alice nervously.

"Hi," Alice says while smiling.

"C-can I t-take a picture with you?" She said hesitantly.

Alice smiled, "yeah of course, come on sit beside me."

The girl sits beside Alice and akwardly smiled at her again, Alice laugh and looked at the girl.

Like really, when Alice was still in highschool she is so different from this girl, she doesn't get nervous, she always have her heads up but now looking at the girl infront of her, it really seems like Alice did got too much in her high school years.

"Don't be nervous, well if you want let's talk, you see my husband and his assistant is not here yet, so I'm bored, maybe atleast we can talk till then?"

The girl's eyes suddenly sparkled and nodded her head vigorously.

"Yes! But please can we take a picture?"

Alice nodded and grab the phone from the girl.

Both pose for a picture and smiled.

After they are done Alice give the phone back to the girl.

"What is your name?" Alice asks.

"My name is Ashley, I'm in a first year high school."

"Your young, you still have many things to do," Alice jokingly said and laugh.

Ashley pouted and nodded her head, "yeah, your definitely right, but I really wanted to be a model," Ashley said while smiling.

Alice sigh, why is she always connected somehow to the models like really?

"We're do you live by the way?"

"Oh, my dad and mom and me traveled from Korea to here in Singapore."

Alice eyes widen, "really your from Korea, then maybe if we can see each other again!"

Ashley was shocked, the famous AC was asking her to see each other again, isn't great?!

"Of course! I really love that, you know I'm always alone there in Korea."

Alice furrow her eyebrows," why though?"

Ashley sigh and started to talk.

"You know I'm happy actually to see you for the first time, I am your fan for almost 2 years and I only get to see you in tv, my mom and dad is always busy with their business, and I'm always left alone in the house with the maids and my tutor.

Seeing you here is very a dream come true and you know I always looked up on you as my big sister."

Alice smiled sadly, "don't you have any brother or sisters?"

Ashley sadly nodded her head, "actually I have a brother."

Alice then smiled, "so why are you feeling alone now?"

"My brother, I didn't get the chance to see him actually, my brother is older than me, my parents were so indulged in getting their business reach the top that they forget to take care on their first born child, my mother told me, they regret it so much actually till now because they still didn't saw him.

He was just two years old when mom and dad went for a business trip and the nanny who took care of my brother called them and told them my brother is missing, they were just strolling in the park when that incident happened."

Alice gasp and unconsciously holds Ashley's shoulder.

"That is bad, how come your parents still didn't see your brother, they are rich they should have the power to find your brother though."

"Yeah miss AC actually till now they are still trying to find my brother but really after 21 years there are still no clue. And I really wanted to meet him."

"What is his name though?"Alice asks curiously while drinking in her wine.

"Jake Sebastian Castro," Ashley said while pouting but she jolts when she heard a break of wine glass.

"What-" Ashley looked at Alice and saw Alice face was shocked.

"Miss Ac are you okay?!"

Dawin and Seb were talking to mr.lee when they heard the breaking of a glass, they looked to the source of it and saw Alice with a girl beside her.

His eyes widen as same as Seb and both ran fast going to Alice.

"Alice what happened?!" Dawin said while still panting.

But Alice didn't answer instead she stared at Seb. Seb got nervous by it.

"W-what did I do?" He said shuttering.

"Ashley?!" A middle aged women and men walks towards them and was shock to see AC and Mr. Marquez.

"O my god, Ashley what did you do?!" The women says.

"Mom I did nothing, I was also shock when miss AC drop the wine glass."

"Mr. Marquez, Ms. Ac we're sorry if my daughter cause some trouble--

"Ashley give me your number," Alice suddenly said.

"Huh, but why?" Seb asks curiously.

Ashley gave Alice her number and after that Alice asks something and Ashley replies instantly that makes someone stood frozen in a second.

"What's you full name?"

"Jane Ashley Castro."

Alice smiled and when she glanced to the side she saw Mr.and Mrs. Castro looking at them confusingly.

"Don't worry mam and sir, your daughter didn't do anything wrong, actually she's fun to hang out with," Alice smiled.

The Castro's then bid their goodbye.

The party ended already and now Alice, Dawin and Seb are in the limousine going back to their hotel.

"Alice what happened earlier?" Dawin asks.

"Oh, Ashley asks for my picture and I was bored so we talk."

Dawin just nodded, but Alice was still have many thoughts running from her head.

"Seb?"

"Yes Alice?"

"What age did you join your orphanage?"

Dawin and Seb was surprised by the sudden question but nonetheless Seb still answered.

"I was 2 years old back then."

Alice sigh and thanked Seb for answering.

"What was that?" Seb whispers to Dawin.

"I don't know, but you must know Alice sometimes asks some random questions so please answer it or else she will ask you the whole day till you will answer," he whispered back.

Seb laugh and nodded.

When they reached the hotel, Alice was sleeping already so, Dawin was left no choice but to carry her bridal style.

Seb was also helping them by bringing the hotel key card and Alice's purse.

One have passed and now Dawin, Alice and Seb is in their flight already going to Korea, it was now evening and Alice was glad that she can see the city lights from the plane's window.

"You really love city lights huh?"Dawin said.

"Yeah of course, you remember the time we go to a hill and stayed their all evening--

But Alice stopped when she realize what she said.

Dawin smiled sadly.

"I'm sorry Dawin I didn't mean to."

"No it's okay and yeah I remember it clearly."

Awkward silence pass through them and Alice just sigh and decided to sleep so she will have enough energy later on.
