The following part is extra chapters of this book, given the name 'You're the Best Gift in My Life'.
In this part, the story will be narrated from Frances' perspective.
I am Frances, the future successor of the Louis Group.
I have long lived a monotonous life.
It's boring and dull.
I used to think that this would be the routine of my life.
Until a girl named Jane appears in my life.
I have never thought that I would meet such a person.
That would deeply take root in my mind with a single glance.
In my twelfth grade, her appearance broke the silence of my life. That day was my birthday.
"Hello. I think you're very handsome, and I like you. This is birthday present for you."
The girl shoves it into my hand and leaves. When I realizes, I only see her disappearing in my sight.
'Seems she is not a high school student.'
'Naïve.'
'Not interested.'
Lawrence's laughter suddenly sounds.
"Why did she give this to you? What did she mean?"
Only then do I lower my head and see the thing in my hand.
Realizing what it is, I curl my lips with dissatisfaction.
Viagra?
Who would give a boy Viagra as gift?
Is she indicating that I am impotent?
I don't know whether she is playing a trick or she is just careless. Whatever. She catches my attention.
For the first time, I take advantage of the Louis Group to investigate her.
Jane Noyes.
An eighth grader. She is in Class 3 and has excellent grades. Meanwhile, she likes to play with those
hoods.
Most importantly, she has so many male friends.
There is just a building between the high school and middle school departments. Standing on the
rooftop, he could clearly see the middle school department.
I don't know when I started to go to the rooftop frequently, just to take a look at her.
My friends all think that I go there to smoke. This becomes my secret.
Later, I can always locate her at a glance, no matter where she is.
Sometimes, she would sit quietly in the classroom, thinking about something. She looks really cute.
Sometimes, she would hold a bottle of drink and stand in the corridor. Her friends would surround her. I
don't like those boys standing beside her. Perhaps she doesn't even know that some of her friends
have interest in her.
Soon, I discover a secret of her.
She likes to buy fried rice from the small restaurant near the school gate. She only eats half of it for
lunch and leaves the other half for dinner.
I have investigated her, so I know that she lives in a poor family. Moreover, her family hates her for
being a girl and treats her badly.
She is short of money, so she divides the rice into two halves. Will that upset her stomach?
I don't expect that I should do the following act just because of my sympathy for her.
Every afternoon, I go to that restaurant to buy the fried rice and put it into her lunchbox.
However, if the food is very hot, she will notice.
Therefore, I often buy if for her when having the last class. Thus, it will not be that hot when she eats.
If my friends know this, they will probably laugh their teeth off.
We have been like this for a few months.
Until the bad news comes.
