Albern arrived at the address that Assistant Dhani had sent him. A Japanese restaurant that is quite luxurious and provides private space for visitors who come.
Dhani's assistant who had been waiting for Albern at that place immediately rose from his seat upon seeing Albern's arrival.
"Young Master." Assistant Dhani bowed respectfully.
"Our client came in about five minutes ago, and is now waiting inside." Dhani's assistant pointed to a private room that they had booked before.
"All right." Albern muttered as he stepped towards the room. A waiter opened the door of the private room and invited Albern to enter.
Albern paused his steps for a moment and was stunned for a while, before finally going in to meet the client who was already waiting for him.
And once inside, the sweet smile of a young woman immediately greeted him. Albern seemed to think while sitting in front of the young woman.
"Mr Albern, meet me Briana, daughter of Adrian, an old friend of Mr. Aaron. It just so happens that I represent the company to establish cooperation with your company." The young woman extended her hand to Albern.
'Continue?'
Albern welcomed the hand of the woman named Briana with a faint smile. The formal thing he always did when he was about to start a business.
"It's nice to know you, Miss Briana." Albern.
The young woman was immediately stunned to see Albern's smile, although then she was able to neutralize the look on her face.
"I'm so honored that you were willing to meet me before the meeting." Briana said again.
Albern seemed to digest the words of the young woman. Presumably there is another purpose of this meeting arranged by his father.
"No need to hesitate, Miss Briana. It should be my welcome to your arrival, considering in the past your parent company has been very meritorious to Brylee Group. And again, now we will also re-establish cooperation." Albern spoke kindly while emphasizing the company's word. He wanted the girl named Briana to know that their meeting was nothing more than Albern's courtesy to start a business.
Unexpectedly, the girl just laughed a little.
"Now it's not our meeting on business, Mr. Albern. Our meeting is out of business, so you don't have to be too formal." Briana.
Albern was silent for a moment with a slightly wrinkled forehead.
'Outside business?'
Seeing the slightly changed look on Albern's face, Briana seemed to smile.
"Just take it before actually starting the cooperation, I want to get to know you more personally." The girl poured the drink from the teapot available before them into a glass, then sipped it elegantly.
Albern slightly sighed, nodding his head faintly. He also understood, this girl before him was the same as the other girls. Come to try to get close to him. But this time Albern could not help but feel upset, because his father who he said would never match him for business affairs seemed to have involvement.
'Basic of inconsistent parents.' Albern grumbled in his heart.
Albern did not respond to Briana's words, and her phone suddenly shook. The name 'Sweet kitten' is on the screen of his phone.
Unconsciously Albern smiled. Just by reading the name of Lily's contact listed on the screen of his phone alone has made Albern's heart happy not to be upset.
"Sorry, Miss Briana, this is an important call." Albern asked permission to pick up a phone call on his phone to Briana, as a form of courtesy.
"Ah, no problem. Please." Briana let go with a sweet smile.
Albern returned the young woman's smile, then received a call from Lily. Can Albern see the look on Briana's slightly surprised face when she saw Albern receiving the call before her, instead of stepping aside first.
"Sister Al, I want to ask you something." Lily's voice instantly rang out from across there a moment after Albern raised his call.
"What mean?" Ask Albern later.
"We... Now we're dating, right?" Lily asked hesitantly.
Albern was stunned with an indescribable face. If only he was not in front of his client at this time, he would have laughed freely. After the love statement earlier, how could Lily still be confused by their relationship. But it wasn't wrong Lily asked. After all, Albern also did not confirm it earlier.
"It seems I'm not interested in the term dating. It's only done by people who don't have commitment and want to play around." Albern said after successfully neutralizing the facial features held back his laughter.
"If we're not dating, then what?" ask Lily.
"We are in exploration before the wedding" said Albern again steadily.
"What??!!!" This time Lily suffocated, so Albern had to cover his face with one hand so as not to laugh. It was already indescribable how reddened his face was at the moment as it held back a laugh.
Albern could see from the corner of his eyes Briana who seemed to be watching Albern with a face that could not be described with words.
"Me-married? Isn't it too fast and rushed?" Lily sounded a little uneasy.
"Are you sure you don't want to marry me soon?" Albern fishing.
"Yes, I'm sure. Very sure."
Albern smiles.
"How do you just want to be my girlfriend? If I marry someone else, are you sure it doesn't matter?"
"Sister Al!!! He promised me he would never marry another woman. Not even a day, when you want to deny it?" Lily sounded hysterical.
This time Albern really couldn't hold back his laughter anymore. He laughed with a red face.
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. Don't be mad, okay?"
"So how?" Lily sounded confused.
"I still don't want to date, Lily. Let's get married tomorrow or in a few years, for me you're my future wife, not my girlfriend. The boyfriend is too trivial to hear." This time Albern said in a serious tone.
Briana gasp. He could not believe the figure in front of him was a stiff Albern Brylee and not interested in the woman.
He alone should have a really good reason to sit face to face with Albern now. In fact, one of his friends had also done many ways to attract the attention of Albern, but never succeeded. Then who is the lucky woman who is able to attract the attention of Albern now? She must be a very experienced woman in conquering a man. Briana was curious about the man.
"I'm sorry, our conversation got cut off." Albern's voice that spoke back to him made Briana's daydreams crumble. It seems the man has finished answering his phone call.
"It doesn't matter at all." Briana reviewed her smile.
"It looks like he's a very important person" Briana said. His great curiosity made this young woman mutter involuntarily. Instantly he regretted the sentence he said just now as it sounded a little presumptuous.
Albern was silent for a moment. And beyond Briana's expectations, the man was not angry and smiled.
"He's a sweet kitten. My future wife ...."
Seriate...
At the time, my mother was also once so sweet and adorable kyk kittens. But now it's just the past, because my mother has transformed into a lion mother 😂
