Alex entered a restaurant known for its romantic atmosphere. There he ordered a meal and also asked the service to give the table a little extra decoration.Unlike other men who even empty the restaurant to make the invitation more impressive for the woman, Alex deliberately left the restaurant open to the public because he knew Angelina didn't like flashy things.But even so, Alex asked to vacate some of the nearby tables so that it was more free to chat.After completing the reservation, Alex contacted Josh to ask for his help again.Tut... Tuut...Alex couldn't wait for Josh to answer his call."Don't you have a job, mate? Seems like you're very free?" chirped Josh after pressing the green button to receive the call."Yeah, I'm pretty free indeed," Alex replies."And you want to use that time to bother me at work, huh?""No-no, I dare not disturb the big boss. I just wanted to ask you a little favor, could you?" asked Alex."Must be that girl again, right?" guessed Josh.Alex chuck
Angelina felt even more awkward. Not only was she eating alone with her boss, but the atmosphere of the table she had booked was different from the other tables. It seemed warmer... romantic, perhaps? And Angelina just realized that. Angelina's thoughts began to drift.'Josh must know I'm Alex's acquaintance, right? And why is he doing this? I feel--'"What are you thinking, Angelina?" asked Josh, who saw that Angelina continued to move restlessly with her mouth open like she was casting a spell."Ah? No, sir. I'm not thinking about anything," Angelina replied nervously.Josh chuckled. "Did you think I was going to ask you out?""What?"The question Josh asked managed to make Angelina round her eyes. It looks like the man can read Angelina's heart. The girl was even more uncomfortable. Especially when she found Josh laughing again."Sir, Miss, this is your food," said one of the waiters who delivered the food to the table that Alex had ordered."Thank you," Josh replied with a smile.
Angelina sighed. After all, she also wanted to know how Oliver was doing.Angelina didn't want to be selfish, but in reality, she had to be selfish and ended up hurting Oliver's feelings. And now she wants to know Oliver's condition from her best friend because she doesn't have the guts to contact Oliver.Emily was silent for a long moment. She was stringing the right sentence so as not to hurt Angelina's feelings. But no matter how well Emily tried, still, the reality of what Emily would say might make Angelina feel guilty."He called me last night, there was nothing he said other than just to ask me to be able to look after and comfort you," Emily said.Angelina's heart sank. Angelina had done bad things to Oliver but the man still cared so much about her. Angelina sobbed."Angelina, it's okay. Don't blame yourself. A relationship does have times when it must be separated. Either because of death, or fate that does not unite," Emily coaxed slowly."I feel I'm so bad, I'm so bad, Emi
"Are you leaving, Angelina?" asked Alex, who saw Angelina's movements as she prepared."You forgot? Now I also have my classes again, so I have to go to campus," replied Angelina then applied lip color to her lips while looking in the mirror.Alex caught Angelina's hand holding the lip rouge, preventing the girl from doing her work again."Alex, what are you doing?" asked Angelina frowning.Instead of answering, Alex just moved her head forward and landed her lips on Angelina's lips. Angelina did not hesitate to push Alex's chest away immediately."Alex, what do you want?" asked Angelina with irritation."Why are you decorating your lips, Angelina? You just want to go to class, don't you? Do you intend to flirt with your lecturer?""Watch your language, Alex! Isn't it natural for a woman to put this on her lips?" snapped Angelina."But you can't do it to other people," Alex retorted."What do you mean!"Alex didn't reply, but he reached for a tissue and wiped the red color from Angeli
Emily sighed. She also rubbed the shoulders of her best friend who was in need of a place to lean on. Then Emily pulled Angelina to lean on her shoulder."Angelina, whatever it is, everything has happened. Regret won't change anything. Now you just need to forgive yourself, accept reality even though it's bitter, then you have to continue your life better," Emily said giving advice."I'm starting to feel like I've gone too far in being so nice. Yes, even though he seemed selfish and also couldn't always be around me, but he never forced me to do anything. My feelings of guilt for him are overwhelming right now," Angelina said very quietly, almost inaudibly."Shush... Don't ever blame yourself again, Angelina. If Oliver hears this he'll be furious. You know, even Oliver never blamed you. You're both right and both wrong. But in this case there is nothing to blame because I know you just want to fight for happiness in this life. It doesn't matter. Every now and then we need to be selfis
Alex chuckled at Angelina's outburst. I don't know what made the girl so bad but seeing her made Alex happy because of her adorable behaviour.Alex came back closer to whisper in Angelina's ear again. "You could have said no but your red face said otherwise."Alex backed away with a satisfied smile.Not staying silent, Emily came closer to tease her best friend."Hey, Girl, look at you, your cheeks are as red as tomatoes. And you're acting like a teenager sulking over a guy you like. Isn't it adorable?" Emily said softly. Angelina immediately glared."And lo and behold, that man is very content to enjoy your behavior. If you don't want to look aggressive, you should stop being angry. Be calm and elegant, do you understand?" Emily continued again still whispering.Angelina glanced sarcastically at Alex through the tail of her eyes. Sure enough, the man smiled erratically. It seemed that Alex was very satisfied.Then Angelina turned her gaze back to look at her best friend."You guys ar
"Yes, we've met before, otherwise how would I greet you?" said the stranger.Angelina watched the man closely. 'Is he an impudent man who is pretending to know me and then he will ask me out?' Angelina muttered to herself."I'm sorry, but I don't think I've ever met you. Can you tell me where we met before?" asked Angelina warily."You really don't remember? It turns out you're that kind of person, sweet lady. You forget people easily," said the man."I'm sorry, sir, but I really don't remember us ever meeting. If you tell me where we were before maybe I can remember," Angelina replied."Do beautiful women always act as arrogant as you?" quipped the man, whom Angelina did not recognise."I'm sorry, sir, but you'd better not say anything careless," said Angelina."Hey, mate!" Alex, who had just arrived, immediately tapped the shoulder of the man who was teasing Angelina. The man immediately turned to Alex."You scared my girl, you have to apologise to her now!" Alex said.The man chuck
Angelina still did not release her locked gaze. Likewise, Alex did not let Angelina look away.Realizing that Alex's gaze was increasingly making her drift, Angelina pulled her hand from the man's grip and diamonds turned her face and moved uncertainly because she was very nervous."I-I'll settle this by washing it," said Angelina quickly rubbish piling up the plates from their dinner."Hey, you haven't finished your meal, Angelina," Alex said as he tugged Angelina's wrist."I-I'm full," Angelina replied as she slipped her hand out of Alex's grasp. "Let me take care of this."Angelina piled them up sometimes with quick movements then walked half-run towards the sink to clean the plates they had just used for dinner."You should finish your food first, Angelina, don't let yourself starve again in the middle of the night like the other night," Alex said again."I won't go hungry because I've filled my stomach. That night was an exception because I didn't eat at all while at the restaura
