A cold wind blew welcoming them as they exited Male International Airport. This is the rainy season in the Maldives.
The private driver was waiting for the two to head straight to the resort. Their schedule will start later tonight to attend a banquet invitation from one of their partners.
"Do you need anything else?" joshua asked as soon as the two got to the front of the room.
"No, it's just dinner so it doesn't take much preparation, right?" Agatha spread her shoulders indifferently.
She is not a woman who would fuss with this before attending a party or meeting. Agatha is quite short and does not care so much about the kinds of jewelry and accessories that will be worn, which dress is striking attention, what shoes are suitable, and what, or go to a salon and prepare for hours.
Agatha is not that kind of woman.
He knows what he needs to use in important events that are mostly still in business circles, is familiar with fashionable clothes and fortunately Agatha has high taste.
Even a simple dress will look special if it is used, and she will not over-decorate with various accessories or make up. He will use what makes him comfortable. Likewise with bags, shoes, or hairdo. Even the simplest thing with a single pinch in her hair that was smoothed out would make her look perfect. That's Agatha Anderson.
After telling Joshua to rest again, Agatha came out alone. He hasn't relaxed himself in a long time. Well even though now he is also in the middle of work but working in a place as beautiful as the Maldives does not happen every day right?
She intends to take an extra day off her schedule later as a small vacation. Of course for his best friend who is always beside him. It's just that this time Agatha didn't tell Gabriel or Joshua about this extra schedule, the man didn't know her little plan.
It had been a very long time since the last time he had enjoyed this kind of atmosphere. At least this time he learned to re-enjoy the way Joshua always told him.
Had he been here, he would have been very happy to see the beauty of nature.
The air is indeed quite windy but quite bright even though this is entering the rainy month in the Maldives.
Agatha then sat on the edge of the pier, staring at the crystal-clear expanse of water under her feet. I don't know why he suddenly had this little holiday idea. Then his eyes accidentally stare towards his ring finger where his 'engagement' ring is embedded.
There was as much objection tucked in his heart, of course he was still not willing to be tied to Christopher Winston.
Agatha had never expected that she would be caught up in a situation like this.
He who has been opposed to relationships in any form, especially related to business affairs actually chose this stupid engagement for the sake of cooperation.
For Senna Rod.
Yes, if not for Senna Rod Agatha would not have accepted it.
The only reason for her to be connected 'to him'.
A single breath from him was so reminiscent of him.
Miss you.
Are you happy there without me?
His short daydream came to a halt as his phone shook. It seems Joshua realized his departure.
'Where are you?'
"Walk for a while. Why are you awake? I told you to get enough rest, Josh."
'How do I take a break if you disappear from my radar?'
"I'm not being kidnapped. Why are you so excited?"
'You—Agatha Anderson, I'm warning you not to give me a headache with any behavior you do. Enough I always get nagging from your father and Gabriel.'
"Joshie, what am I doing? I'm just walking around while you sleep. And I told you to take a break so don't think about me. Okay?" agatha was upset, she told her best friend to stop worrying for a moment, why doesn't Joshua understand?
'But you've never been on a walk all this time.'
"Oh God, Joshie! I'm not a child, I can take care of myself."
'Yeah and the last time you said that, you got lost almost a kilometer away from me. You don't remember that?'
Agatha snorted in annoyance, sometimes Joshua could be fiercer than Gabriel and well, she admitted that all her best friend's scolding was true.
'Go back to your room immediately.'
"Hm."
'Agatha...'
"Yes I'm back now."

That evening a dinner was held in the private villa of Wisteria which is one of the main business partners of the family-owned San Derria Hotels & Resort Anderson.
There are actually many lodging places, villas and others in the Maldives but San Derria offers elite and private services in the form of a private island in the middle of the sea. Elegant two-bedroom and three-bedroom villas, as well as views with direct access to the beach, and of course a private pool, Jacuzzi and underwater nature sports.
Agatha was talking to some colleagues when the host called out to welcome the new guests.
"Welcome, Mr Winston! It's great that you finally have my invitation."
Of course the speech of the owner of the event is the attention of all guests, not least Agatha who is now staring in disbelief at the figure of a man with a black suit who is smiling at her.
WINSTON'S?
DAMN IT!
Agatha could not even respond to the whispers of the few people beside her due to her shock.
"Of course, Mr. Alfred, I'm sorry if I haven't been able to come to your invitation."
"It doesn't matter Mr. Winston, I understand. I'm really glad you're here now."
Agatha who saw that now turned her eyes to look for the figure of the friend who had been taking a drink for a few minutes. Then the chocolate bead found Joshua talking to a woman in the yard near the pool and Agatha wasted no time in getting to them.
"Joshua Sanders, can we talk for a second?" he said he interrupted and before his best friend responded Agatha had pulled Joshua's arm out of there.
"What's Agatha?"
"What did you say? Why didn't you tell me Winston was gonna be on this show!"
"Eh, don't you know? I've given you a guest list before, didn't I think you've read it."
"List what—oh ****!"
Agatha remembers Joshua always giving a guest list on the events they will attend.
Agatha had always read it and all this time she had not thought of what other guests would be like. So why didn't he read it this time? How could he not see Christopher Winston's name there?
Goddamnit!
"I didn't know he was gonna be here!" the answer is annoyed.
"Then what's the problem if Christ's here?" Joshua, for some reason tonight is more stupid in response to his words.
"The problem is that I don't want to meet him! Don't you understand that? I don't want any other contact with her beyond my predictions!"
"But he is now your fiancee, Agatha."
One sentence from Joshua made Agatha think of pushing her best friend to the sea now.
"Yoshi! I told you—"
"Sunshine? I'm looking for you, what are you doing here?"
And like the genie of the lamp that appeared when his name was mentioned, Christopher Winston was already standing behind them.
Agatha squinted her cynical eyes at the man who was smiling at her.
"Hi Christ," said Joshua kindly with his eye smile.
"Hi Joshua, nice to see you again," the two shook hands and patted each other on the shoulder.
"You. Why are you here?!"
"Of course attend the invitation, honey. What else is it?"
"Stop calling me with your cringe things! I'm not your lover!"
"But you are my fiance."
One other sentence left Agatha silenced and silently tightened her fist.
Seeing that Christopher just laughed lightly then grabbed Agatha's hand.
"You're so cute. Come inside, many people want to see us as a couple. Joshua, I brought your best friend first."
Joshua smiled stifledly at Agatha's expression, he knew her best friend was already on the verge of patience and it was certain that she would become an outlet for Agatha's anger later.
But it's still later. Let him be free for a moment.
"Please, with pleasure Christ."
**** you!
At least that's what Agatha said through her eyes. And Joshua laughed at that
