Still a few days ago …
Daren had just come out of the room when he saw Sean who was walking in a hurry, and stopped in front of him as soon as they were side by side.
“I can’t attend the meeting, I have things to do outside. I’ll leave all the schedules with you, Altha will give you the details of the meeting I left behind,” Sean explained, sounding hasty, making Daren look suspicious, because his best friend had never behaved like this.
“What is it?” Daren asked in a worried tone.
Sean was about to say something but his lips pursed again.
“Nothing, I just need a few days before going back to work. Just finish the meeting with a representative from the Sanrio company. All the data you need is in Altha,” Sean said while patting Daren’s shoulder before leaving.
“Where are you going?” Daren asked still not satisfied with the explanation.
“I’m going
Present …The sound of footsteps in the hallway woke Via up. Her eyes opened slowly.Still under the influence of drowsiness, Via glanced around and realized that she was asleep in the waiting chair. Her eyes stared in wonder at the black coat that enveloped her warm body. There was a look of confusion on her face as soon as she touched a familiar suit with a very memorable scent.Via’s slender fingers carefully touched the surface of the coat, until her chest expanded instantly, sending a swish of blood that spread to her body. Unable to contain herself, Via hugged the coat tightly as tears began to gather in her eyes.Her head shot up when she heard a little cough from the other side. Via’s eyes widened for a moment, finding the figure she missed was present there.They were both stunned for a long time, their tongues speechless.When she regained consciousness, Via threw the coat in her hands as soon as she stood up
Hilda’s camera shot nonstop at the couple embracing each other on the waiting chair. She smiled triumphantly at the big catch, but her smile faded as soon as the camera in her hand was suddenly taken.“Hey!” Hilda snapped while glaring angrily at the stranger who had been standing behind her all this time without her noticing. “Give back my camera,” she hissed at a tall man.The man smirked as he checked the recorded photos that Hilda had taken since a few weeks.“Wow,” he said with a long whistle. “I didn’t know you had taken this many pictures but you can’t keep all this, Babe. Do you know what you are doing is illegal?” explained the man as he pulled the memory card from Hilda’s camera.“Stop it!” said Hilda in a rising voice. “That’s mine.”Hilda was about to pull the memory out of the big man’s hand, but the man’s movements w
Arriving at Tya’s house, Via went out the car without waiting for Sean to open the door like he used all this time. She didn’t even care when Sean followed her to the terrace.Via was just about to knock the door when suddenly a woman in a bakery uniform came out of the house and greeted them.“Via, I thought you wouldn’t come. I am about to leave because the shop will open soon,” the woman said as she opened the door.She was about to say more when her eyes fell on the handsome man who had been silent on the steps.Seeing the direction of her best friend’s gaze, Via almost rolled her eyes.“Sorry, I overslept,” said Via, originating. She was embarrassed to admit that she had drifted into the atmosphere Sean had created.Seeing Via’s reddened face, Sean’s smile grew wider. He even reached out to the woman in front of him, knowing that Via had no intention of introducing the two of t
That morning, Via woke up in a restless state. She glanced at the empty side of the bed where Sean had been sleeping. She got up from the bed and took a shower before joining Tya at the dining table. Now what she wanted to do was dispelling her anxiety.“Hey, good morning,” Tya greeted while flipping pancakes on teflon.“Morning,” Via replied while covering her yawning. She glanced at the breakfast served on the table.“What happen with that sullen face? Are you feel sorry after kicking the poor guy out last night?” asked Tya who got a sharp glare.Instead of feeling guilty for letting him into the house, Tya laughed. “My God, you should have seen how Mr. Stunning when leaving the room after you kicked him out. I even felt sorry to see him glued to the door as if hesitating to knock.Poor man,” Tya sighed as she cupped her hands in front of her chest while admiring Sean’s perfect figure.Instead
Via and Tya decided to go to a shop together. They arrived at the bakery after picking up the flowers Sean had given them in the house.“Kindly remind me why we have to hate that guy, okay?” Via hissed as the two of them entered the shop. She felt her hand stinging because it was pricked by thorns from some kind of flower.Tya glanced at Via, who was dramatic because she had been complaining of pain in her fingers which were full of scratches.“Gosh, I told you to be careful. You can't even tell which flowers have thorns or not,” she explained, remembering Via, who just pulled the flowers from the vase.Via's lips pursed for a moment, while grumbling, she tried defending herself.“I think the thorny flower is only rose. I don’t know others. And see? Even the thorns are very small,” Via growled, remembering the Euphorbia flower whose stems had sharp thorns.She cursed Sean who indirectly hurt her in a
“You paid for Aunt Azura’s treatment room? Didn’t I tell you I don’t need anything from you!”Via was angry while she walking quickly to the VVIP room where her aunt was being treated.Her hand was covered in bandages after being treated by doctors as soon as Sean took her to the hospital. She didn’t even think about it because the scratch wasn’t deep. Just look at it earlier, the doctors and nurses who treated them just smiled amusedly seeing Sean who was scared by himself as if her head that was having problems, not because small scratches on her hands and fingers.“You did. But Via, don’t let the fight between us be a barrier for your aunt to get the best treatment. I did all this for Aunt Azura, too. Don’t you want the same thing, Baby?” Sean said with a smile on his face that softened her anger instantly.On second thought, he was right. She must not be selfish, and drag Aunt int
The bell rang that morning, but Via, who was sitting at the dining table, seemed unconcerned and continued to enjoy her breakfast. She was drowning in the memory of yesterday when Sean had treated her with lovingly and carefully.Now her head was full of questions, why was Sean being so gentle? And strangely, at some time the man stroked her stomach even though it was not obvious.Not only that, Sean was even worried about everything Via did, as if she made of fragile glass that might break at any moment.It was kinda strange. As what Via knew, it was Sean who did not want to continue their relationship and ordered to abort their baby, right?In fact, he told other people to shut Via’s mouth. Really, what did the man want all the way to Summer Breeze? Their relationship would never even be complete because Sean was getting married soon. He also did not explain anything and just entered her life without a word.“Geez, why are you j
The number that Hilda dialed rang several times, making her impatient. This was the third time she had contacted Gamal, but for some reason, the man didn’t pick up the phone from her, making her annoyed. It was unusual for Gamal to ignore her call.Could something have happened to her coworker?After reminiscing about the strange man who stole all her personal belongings, including the camera which Hilda had painstakingly bought from raising money after a long part-time job at a bar, her anger was emerged.She was just doing a Papparazi job, not an illegal job, and for God sake it was her job to find gossip about celebrity life!On the last ring, Gamal finally picked up the call. Without waiting for the greeting, she cursed out loud without giving Gamal a break to explain himself.“I’ve been calling you since days, but you’re ignoring me, huh? Do you know, I’m having a hard time here! My camera was taken, all the data
