Joshua looked at the woman before him who had been grumbling irritably in a roll of blankets on the sofa. Every now and then the woman will sip the cigarette somehow to how much. Her appearance was still beautiful despite her messy hair with her oversized black shirt.
Sighing his breath, Joshua grabbed the cigarette from the beautiful fingers and then forcibly killed it. He had been holding back since an hour ago, letting this woman just once.
"Return it, Josh," he said hoarsely trying to take a new bar but Joshua's hand had already secured it from his reach.
"Stop Agatha. How many rods have you spent?"
"New five sticks, bring it to me."
Joshua stood up and kept the cigarette case in his back pocket, making Agatha inevitably throw her body back on the sofa.
The night after she returned home with Christopher Winston, Agatha fled to Joshua's apartment in the middle of the night, unable to bear the contents of her head alone.
And after his vague and angry drama ended up giving Joshua a headache, he finally said about the decision he made as well as his cooperation with Winston.
"If you regret it, it's too late. You should think more calmly before making a decision" said Joshua, who gave Agatha a glass of orange juice.
"You forced me to make a decision soon. And now you wash your hands?"
"Well, I'm just suggesting that you do it right away not forcefully. It's not a problem to accept Mr. Winston's proposal. Why are you acting like this is the end of the world?"
"The end of my world. You know full well if I hate relationships like this."
Joshua sat down next to Agatha who then changed his position and leaned on Joshua. His face was still pouting and annoyed.
"Don't you think this is the right way for you to restart your life, Agatha?"
"What is my life?"
Hearing that Joshua rolled his eyeballs, sometimes Agatha could be very innocent when he started talking about this.
"You know what I mean Agatha, listen to me," Joshua grabbed Agatha's face and looked up at her, "I really hope you can be the old Agatha, get back the love in you, I know you're trying to look okay but I can see it, you're feeling lonely."
There was no expression from Agatha when Joshua said it, but his eyes were no longer willing to stare at Joshua's black bead.
"I'm not lonely, you're by my side."
"I know, and I will always be by your side Agatha. But it's not me you need, you need real love. Love like'nya' long ago."
Agatha removed Joshua's hand from her cheek, then chose to hug the man. Hiding his facial expression in Joshua's arms.
"I miss him."
"I know," Joshua whispered to Agatha who was now fully immersed in the chest of her field, "If she were here, she would want you to be happy too. He won't want to see you like this."
Joshua put his fingers in Agatha's gentle mane, doing it like he was putting a child to sleep. Agatha remained silent without a sound.
"I don't want to force you, because you'll end up doing it later. But I wish you all the best, and I won't let you make the wrong decision. I'm sure Mr. Winston's presence isn't a coincidence, he's not a random man. Gabriel and I made sure of it and you're on to believe us, right?" the question was gentle, he had indeed investigated Christopher Winston and the result was that the man had a clean history.
Gabriel himself said that the Winston family is one of the best families that deserves to be side by side with the Anderson family. According to Gabriel, Arthur is his best friend as long as they know each other.
And because of Gabriel's words, Joshua believes Christopher Winston is the right man for his best friend.

Earlier that week people from MediCe officially moved the lab to one of Hellig's. Quite quickly considering that only two days ago the deal was officially signed by both parties from Hellig and MediCe. Of course Agatha and Winston were present at the time.
But what sucks is blatantly Christopher introduced himself as Agatha's fiancee to the board of directors which certainly makes everyone excited. The woman they had been gossiping about with her personal assistant suddenly came to bring cooperation in a precarious moment with her fiance.
And what's more annoying is the reaction of his father and Gabriel who immediately welcomed Christopher's notification invitation to a family meeting with open arms. They behave like they have just obtained a world miracle inheritance. While the concerned just quietly swallowed the frustration and vented it secretly on Joshua.
"Then why do I have to come to your family's event tomorrow?" joshua asked when Agatha forced him to come along for dinner tomorrow night.
"But it seems like she will soon have a new charmer, Gab," Joshua replied and found Agatha giving her a murderous look.
"If you two continue this kind of nonsense, I'll completely change my mind."
"Can't darling, our family never reneges on promises. Especially this time you're doing it for the benefit of so many people who are covering the lives of so many people in Senna Rod, so as a person who should be in charge I say a lot of thanks, My Princess," Gabriel placed his hand in front of his chest with an exaggerated expression that made his sister even more upset and threw a punch at his arm.
"You, you jerk Gab! You should have been responsible from the start and not made me a scapegoat. Fucking shit!" Agatha continued to beat her sister, who was only responded to by the laughter of Gabriel, who then took shelter behind Joshua's body.
The three then returned to Anderson's residence, thankfully today Christopher Winston did not reveal himself when they came to the laboratory today. Leon said that Christ is currently in Milan and will be back tomorrow.
All of you don't have to go back so I don't have to attend that damn dinner—batin Agatha.
But the next day in the afternoon Agatha found the man coming to her office to get her ready early. Agatha refused.
"I can't leave now, Mr. Winston."
"Agatha, I told you to get used to your calling.'
"Yes yeah, I can't go now Christ. Joshua was waiting for me to finish the job. You don't have to worry I'm late because Joshua will take me on time."
"I'll wait for you to finish."
"It's gonna take a long time."
"You weren't gonna be late for our dinner, were you? That means just a moment," the man replied glancing at his watch.
Agatha hissed annoyed, what a stubborn man this is. Did he not realize that he was reluctant to linger together? Is he not sensitive at all?
"Tell you, then" Agatha left Christopher Winston for Joshua's room. He had to get away from this guy immediately, and Joshua was his escape now.
Joshua was focusing on his computer screen when Agatha barged in with a sour face and locked the door.
"What's wrong?"
The woman did not reply, threw herself on the sofa and crossed both hands in front of the chest and exhaled loudly.
"I don't like it."
"What's? Wh who? You came up with no clear context with Agatha suddenly, is there another problem?"
"Yes, and this is driving me crazy."
Hearing that Joshua looked at his best friend with astonished brows.
"What about this time? Please don't give me any more endless tasks."
"Save me from that man's demon, Josh. Damn it!"
Chief Joshua thought quickly and understood where Agatha was talking, then smiled lightly. "So what's pissing you off now?"
"Did he not have a job? As a person in charge of many companies shouldn't he be busy? Didn't his assistant say he was in Milan yesterday? He shouldn't have come back."
"Agatha watch your talk. Besides, yesterday's man wasn't Christopher Winston's assistant, he was one of the main directors, "the correction was then getting up from his chair, walking towards Agatha and sitting next to her.
"After all, isn't it good that he's back? It means he's not reneging on a promise for a family meeting. Then what are you complaining about?"
"He sticks like a mushroom. And now he's here in my room!"
Joshua's laughter gushed upon Agatha's expression, "Don't speak so, if others hear it it will be a bad thing."
"I don't care."
Joshua was still laughing until his brain digested something, "E-eh? Is he here now? Then what are you doing here Agatha?! Holy jeez!"
