Chapter 26: chapter twenty-six
The next morning, Amy woke up early, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day. She got dressed and headed downstairs to the kitchen, where her mom was already preparing breakfast. Azura, was sitting at the table, looking a bit out of place.
As they finished breakfast, Amy helped Azura get ready for work. Azura's unique hair required some extra attention, but Amy was happy to help.
As they headed out the door, Amy's mom handed them each a lunch container. "Have a great day at work, girls," she said.
Amy kissed her mom goodbye and headed out the door with Azura. As they walked, Azura's mind began to wander. How was she going to find Zamiel? She had no idea where to start.
Amy's voice cut through Azura's thoughts. "Did you even hear what I said."
Azura nodded, but her mind was elsewhere. She wasn't interested in the job or Amy's concerns. All she could think about was finding Zamiel, the one she loved.
As they waited at the bus stop, Azura's mind was racing. She needed to find Zamiel, but she had no idea where to start. Suddenly, an idea struck her. Why hadn't she thought of it before? She would ask Xorax, the powerful demon who worked under her parents, to help her track down Zamiel.
Azura smiled to herself, feeling a sense of hope for the first time that day. Amy noticed her smile and asked, "Why are you smiling?"
Azura quickly covered, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just happy that I'll be starting work soon."
Amy laughed. "Well, you shouldn't be happy yet. We don't know if you'll get the job."
Azura chuckled politely, but her mind was still on Xorax and her plan to find Zamiel. She couldn't wait to put her plan into action.
Just then, the bus arrived, and Amy and Azura climbed aboard. As they found seats and settled in for the ride, Azura's thoughts drifted back to Zamiel. She was one step closer to finding him, and she couldn't wait to see what the day would bring.

Chairman David descended the stairs, already running late for his meeting. He made a quick detour to the breakfast table, where his children, Maya and Nicole, greeted him with a subdued "Morning, Dad." Louis was noticeably absent.
The chairman exchanged a brief, quiet moment with his children before standing up and heading out the door. His driver was waiting for him, and they drove off into the morning traffic.
Meanwhile, in China, a young man named Simon sat in his elegantly decorated office, surrounded by the trappings of success. As the first child of Clara Elena's stepmother, Simon had inherited his father's business empire in China.
"Nǐ hǎo, hěn gāoxìng hé nǐ zuò shēngyì. Xièxie!" (Hello,it was nice doing business with you.thank you)" simon spoke into the phone.
A Chinese lady entered the room, reminding him of his schedule.
"Xiānsheng, nín de huìyì shíjiān dào le.( sir it is time for the meeting)"
"Hǎo de, wǒ mǎshàng jiù chūlái"( okay, i will be right out).Simon replied, picking up his phone to make another call.

After the meeting, Simon made his way back to his hotel, feeling relieved that the day's business was finally over. He had spent the better part of the day negotiating with potential investors and partners, and was looking forward to unwinding.
As he entered his hotel room, he was greeted by the familiar sight of his luggage and the plush furnishings of the luxury suite. He dropped his briefcase onto the floor and began to loosen his tie, feeling the tension in his shoulders begin to ease.
Simon decided to take a break and head down to the hotel's swimming pool. He changed into his swim trunks and made his way to the pool, feeling the warm sun on his skin as he walked.
The pool area was quiet, with only a few other guests lounging on the deck chairs. Simon dove into the cool water, feeling invigorated as he swam laps. He spent about an hour in the pool, clearing his mind and relaxing his muscles.
After his swim, Simon returned to his hotel room, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. He opened the door to his room, expecting to find it empty, but was surprised to see a girl sitting on his bed.
She was dressed in a yellow sundress, her long black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. She looked up as Simon entered, and smiled at him.
Simon's heart skipped a beat as he smiled back at her. He walked over to the bed, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. As he reached the bed, he leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips.
The girl kissed him back, her lips warm and inviting. Simon felt a rush of desire as he deepened the kiss, his arms wrapping around her waist to pull her closer.
As they kissed, Simon couldn't help but think about how lucky he was to have found this girl. She was beautiful, intelligent, and had a spark in her eyes that drew him in like a magnet.
After a few moments, Simon pulled back from the kiss, looking into the girl's eyes. "Hey," he said, smiling at her. "I missed you."
The girl smiled back at him, her eyes shining with happiness. "I missed you too," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Simon leaned in again, kissing her softly on the forehead. "I'm glad you are here" he said, feeling a sense of contentment wash over him.
As they sat there on the bed, wrapped in each other's arms, Simon knew that this was where he was meant to be. With this girl, in this moment, everything felt right with the world.
Here's the continuation:
Simon pulled back from the kiss, looking into his chinsese girlfriend's eyes. " lingxi I would be going to America," he said, his voice low and husky.
Lingxi's eyes sparkled with understanding, her English flawless. "Oh, really? When?" she asked, her voice melodious.
Simon smiled, caressing her cheek. "I just have to go see my parents, and I also heard my dad is going into politics, so I want to go there and show him my support."
Lingxi nodded, her expression understanding. Simon continued, "I also want to see my mom, my siblings... it's been a long time."
Lingxi's eyes softened, and she leaned into Simon's touch. "Don't worry,you will see them.," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Simon smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. " sure,I promise I'll be back, maybe in two days."
But to his surprise, lingxi's expression turned determined. "No, I'll come with you," she said, her voice firm.
Simon's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What? No, lingxi, you don't have to..."
