I was in my office, going through some of my contacts and emails sent to me by detectives. All of them had photos and addresses of single, pregnant women living on the coast of Southeast Asia, as well as the men and women who were around the women, supposedly taking care of them.
But I quickly realized that it was all for naught. I just couldn’t tell if any of them were Rose, Alonso, or Susanna just from photos. None of the images triggered anything within me.
I knew it was hard, but I wanted to try. If I was able to dream about Rose, I thought I would at least be able to get a reaction from looking at photos. But I hadn’t been able to. And I also hadn’t dreamt of my lover again.
After looking at so many pictures, I felt like I was starting to see only what my heart wanted me to see. Every person I looked at in the pictures started to look like Rose. I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples. Just as I was about to ask the servant to prepare coffee for me, a new email notification popped up in the lower right corner of my computer.
I opened the email and briefly glanced at it. It was an email seeking business cooperation. But strangely, the information provided indicated that the other party was a wholesale flower seller.
I didn’t understand why a wholesale flower seller would want to work with my company because we clearly state that we mainly invested in next-generation information technology, high-end equipment, healthcare, environmental protection, renewable energies, new materials and other industries. My other company is a pharmaceutical company.
I supposed that it might be because the economy was not doing well recently so many small- and medium-sized enterprises were simply desperate to survive. Maybe I should ask my secretary to remove my work email address from my business card. These useless emails seeking cooperation or investment would only waste my time.
I ignored the email on my computer desktop and remembered the headache of trying to find the ones I had been looking for simply through pictures.
I was convinced that the dream was a sign from the moon goddess, who also hoped that I could find my lover. I was not willing to give up if I had even the smallest glimmer of hope. But I was starting to feel that holding on to such a small piece of hope was very tiring. I was trying to find three people out of hundreds of millions. Moreover, they might have already changed their appearances.
I stared at the computer screen and all I could think about was where Alonso was most likely to take Rose. As I stared at the screen that still had that flower seller’s email displayed, I suddenly saw a few words that had been subtly bolded. I was glad I hadn’t closed the email yet.
I read it over and over again, and I felt my heart begin to beat violently. I immediately forwarded it to Patrick and dialed his number.
“Did you see this email I just sent you?”
“Yes, Boss. Is there something wrong with it?”
I knew that Patrick was in the company right now, so I immediately asked him to help me find the address left by this email. Although I had already looked it up several times with Google Maps and other apps, the best location they could provide me was a beach on Phuket Island in Thailand. And it wasn’t the label of a wholesale flower seller.
“Uh, I have a result. The address in the email is indeed not that d*mn wholesale flower seller. It is of an apartment on Phuket Island near Padang Beach. Why are you bothering with this spam email, though? It has nothing to do with our company’s business. Moreover, look at the seal on its signature. It looks like it was made in a cheap small workshop. There is not even a seal number. How can a company’s seal be a bird’s design?”

My gaze then fell on the signature of the email, suddenly attracted by a part of it. I had not noticed it before, but now, my hands could not help but tremble.
“Pat, that’s not a bird, that’s a phoenix, a phoenix that Rose from the ashes. That’s a hint!”
“What? I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
I took a deep breath and tried my best to calm myself down, but I found that it was all in vain.
“Delete this email from your mailbox. But before you delete it, read the first word of each paragraph in succession,” said I into the phone.
“Ugh, why so mysterious? Let me see, the first word of each first paragraph… ‘Hello… come… here… to… see… Rose…’ What the f*ck? Is this for real? This is a secret message!”
“I think so.”
“Oh, my God, do you know the sender?”
“No, it came from an unknown email.”
“F*ck. Could this just be a coincidence? ?”

“This is my glimmer of hope, Brother. Look carefully, the first word of each paragraph has been bolded. Help me book the next plane ticket to Phuket, Thailand. Don’t tell anyone, don’t prepare a car for me. If the people in the pack ask where I went, just say that I’m on a temporary business trip.”
“How about I come with you? I don’t want you to run into any more danger.”
“I’ll be careful, but I have to go alone.”
After hanging up, I quickly received a text message from the airline and the hotel. Patrick had booked me a first-class ticket to Phuket at 10:20 AM tomorrow, as well as two nights at a local five-star hotel.
I didn’t know how long I was going to be there, but I wanted it to be quick. I wanted to meet my love. It was my last hope. I couldn’t care less right now if it was simply a prank or me overthinking this.
