Two days passed ....
Alena's life still looks fine, and there's no sign of Mike coming to see her.
Today Alena is preparing to meet with a customer. But they will hold a meeting outside to discuss their cooperation. Alena was afraid to go out of the boutique, she was afraid Mike would find her there. But he also couldn't possibly refuse his customer's request. Because this is his initial cooperation and of course he will get a big profit.
Alena leaves with Lian in a car that Edward has provided for them.
Lian who brought the car with Alena beside her. Because Alena can't bring her own car.
Almost an hour later they arrived at one of the restaurants that are quite luxurious and designed indeed for the meeting place of entrepreneurs or business class models.
Alena walked with Lian into the restaurant accompanied by the restaurant manager.
Alena's footsteps looked steady and full of elegance. The smile never faded from his face even though the weight he felt was really heavy and painful.
But it could all still be covered with her sweet smile.
A man and a woman immediately welcomed the arrival of Alena and Lian.
"good afternoon sir and Mrs, sorry we're a little late" Alena said as she shook the young-looking man and woman's hands
"it's okay, miss, we haven't been long. Please sit down" the woman was so friendly
"thank you" Alena replied with a smile that was no less friendly
"let me know Diana, and this is our boss, Mr. Ponix, CEO of Starlight" Diana said. Alena immediately nodded respectfully at Ponix who only smiled faintly and nodded her head at a glance at Alena
"just in person, our company is holding an event for the company's anniversary. I see your design really stunning and in accordance with the current theme, so we intend to invite you to work together" said the woman named Diana, while Ponix who looks dignified is still silent with his cold face but his eyes look fixed towards Alena
"depending on how you request Mrs, if we are able, we will certainly be happy to work with you" said Alena so friendly that Ponix still so comfortable looking at her, and Alena doesn't care much about that
"let's say, in one month's time, the company's anniversary event, we'd like to order the latest midnight-themed dress designs for some of our models" Diana said
Alena immediately turned to Lian, asking for her opinion
"the show at the Barren'ts Agency is still a month and a half away. And I think our time is still enough for that lady" Lian said making Alena nod immediately
"you're following Miss Alena?" ponix asked slightly
Alena nodded and smiled
"yes sir, I am just trying my luck" Alena replied
"you are talented" said Ponix made Alena blush
"so, how much do you need Mrs?" alena asked who this time turned to Diana
"not much, only about ten dresses" Diana replied quickly
Alena went back to thinking about what she could do. But this is a way to occupy himself, and prove to Kenzo that he can progress and succeed
"alright, I agree" Alena replied, making Diana and Ponix immediately smile with pleasure
"fine, tomorrow morning you can come to our company to measure the bodies of the models and determine the design of the dress that suits them" said Diana again
"well, I hope it's not too complicated. Because a month is not a long time for ten dresses" said Alena made Diana laugh
"i'm sure you can. Considering your boutique is just pioneering but already known to many people, and again you can also follow the prestigious event in the giant company" this time Ponix who spoke and Alena chuckled to hear it, too, laughter can make anyone feel its warmth
"you could be sir. Yes, I hope I won't let you and the company down" Alena said
"yes, it has to be. Because I paid a lot for it" said Ponix who now looks more relaxed, and Alena just nodded and laughed lightly in response
"alright, then we end this conversation right here. As soon as we fill our stomachs first" said Diana, she immediately called the restaurant manager to prepare their lunch.
Alena was so clumsy in enjoying her lunch, let alone her unrelenting Ponix eye gaze glancing towards her during their meal.
And the lunch event did not last long, because after that Alena immediately said goodbye to his rapid return.
"like her master Ponix is interested in you miss" Lian teased as they were heading towards the restaurant lobby
"yes, this is the risk of having a beautiful face" said Alena a little haughty to make Lian immediately laugh at her hearing
"yes, even the President's class is interested in you" added Lian made Alena widen her eyes staring at Lian. He hit Lian's shoulder at a glance
"Lian, you're this. It was different" Alena replied quickly
"what's different, the evidence is the man with a million charms was willing to take his time for you, even let you to stay in his apartment" Lian teased again
"Lian, he's just helping me" Alena replied quickly
"really?" lian asked so suspiciously
Alena immediately laughed and again hit the wrath of Lian's arm that was wide open. Until they do not realize where they are because they continue to tease each other and laugh worthy of his friends not superiors and subordinates.
Bruck
Alena gasped in surprise as she hit someone who looked surprised as well. They stood firm to each other after before her almost glazed.
"Alena" said the man
"Reymond" Alena replied anyway
"ah, sorry, I was not accidentally" said Alena panicked to see the man she hit turned out to be Reymond, a handsome man she had helped some time ago
"it's okay, I don't see, what are you doing here?" reymond asked, glancing in and towards Lian for a moment
"oh, I just met with my client, discussing cooperation as well as lunch. What are you doing, lunch too?" ask Alena
"yes, just like you, I was having lunch at a company meeting" Reymond replied
"oh, that's it" replied Alena
"emm Alena" calls Reymond in doubt
"yes" said Alena looking at Reymond's handsome face and very calm her heart, and Alena sometimes confused why like that. They have only met a few times
"do you have time, I want to take you for a short walk" Reymond said
Alena looked doubtful and confused, she turned her head towards Lian who could only keep quiet. Wanting to refuse but somehow his heart wanted to fulfill the man's request
"i'm not going to kidnap you, I promise" Reymond said, making Alena laugh
"okay, alright" replied Alena at the end. And Lian looked doubtfully at Alena. Why is this girl so easy to go with this foreign man, what about the President, his inner
"Lian, you go first" Alena told Lian
"are you sure, miss?" asked Lian doubtfully, his article if something happened to Alena, then she would be affected by her stone assistant later on
"yes, I also want to get some fresh air. Calm down, sir Ed won't be mad at you" Alena's teasing made Lian snort
"sir, please take good care of Miss Alena. Because if something happens to her, my life could be lost" Lian's plea to the frowning Reymond flustered
Alena directly slapped Lian's arm in annoyance
"Lian, you're overreacting" Alena and Lian snorted
"i'm serious, miss. You have no idea how the stone man threatened me" Lian murmured
"calm down, just for a moment, after that I will return it with a state of fullness and no less than one anything" said Reymond to make Alena grieve
"i've been like the gold of gems you guys made. Come on already. Don't let me change my mind" said Alena who immediately left them, making Reymond laugh as well as Lian
"master your meeting" asked Assistant Reymond who had been silent with his confused face
"cancel" Reymond replied quickly and immediately left his assistant flabbergasted in astonishment
"when did he become like that?" his murmuring, until a clap on his boat made him gasp in shock
"hey, your master doesn't eat people, does he?" lian asked Reymond's assistant
"even just this time I saw her so with a woman" she replied, and this time Lian was flabbergasted in amazement
"miss Alena's charm is right" she murmured.
....
Alena and Reymond are currently in Central Park in the New York area, which is famous for its city parks.
They sat in a long chair under a shady tree.
Alena's hand held a vanilla and chocolate ice cream that now looks delicious and very refreshing her throat.
"hey, you always know my favorite food" Alena told Reymond, who was also enjoying her chocolate ice cream
"somehow, just feeling" Reymond replied casually making Alena snort with her ugly face. He was really surprised to see this handsome man, a foreign man who somehow could quickly be trusted by Alena.
"don't you don't have eyes" Alena accused of staring at the cynical face of Reymond to make the man immediately chuckle at her hearing
"what should I look at Alena, my God, do you have a gold jewel in your arms?" reymond asked in a mocking tone making Alena snort
"more than gold gems of origin you know" said Alena
"really, wow, that means from tomorrow I have to spy on you" Reymond added
"haha, just try if you dare" Alena challenged still enjoying her ice cream
Reymond looked at Alena's face with a smile and there was something that always stuck in his heart, but Reymond did not know what
"why is that, oh is it because of the stone man you were referring to, is he your lover?" reymond asked Alena to immediately choke on her ice cream
"uhuk uhuk" Reymond quickly rubbed the girl's back
Alena looked at the annoyed face of Reymond who was laughing
"fuck you, I don't have a boyfriend. The stone man was my friend's assistant" Alena replied
"wow, does that mean the man's boss is your lover?" ask Reymond again
"stop talking about me Reymond. You're a bitch" snorted Alena and Reymond again laughing and staring upset at Alena's face
"you're the girl that's pleasing to Alena" Reymond said, making Alena look back at her with her ugly face
"heh, don't seduce me" Alena said
"not really. I'm telling you the truth, if my sister was still around, she would be like you" Reymond said with a heavy breath
"your brother? where is she going?" ask Alena who has managed to spend her ice cream.
"he no longer exists. He's gone, and I don't know where he is either alive, or he's gone" Reymond replied
Alena was immediately stunned to hear her
"you look so loving to her" said Alena
"of course, he's my brother" Reymond replied. She saw Alena who rubbed her lips with the back of her hand, and Reymond instantly stopped it, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Alena who immediately smiled
"thank you" said Alena
"want again?" ask Reymond . Alena laughed at hearing that
"i've been like a cow you made, but if you don't mind, I'd like a pie you brought me back then" Alena said with her big smile, makes Reymond so happy to see her. He immediately rubbed the short sprout of Alena's head, which was suddenly stunned, and felt something flowing warmly in his heart
"alright, come. Today. I'll take some time for you" asked Reymond who immediately pulled Alena's hand
Alena was still silent and looked at the hand that was within Reymond's grasp.
His heart rumbled, his heart beat, and his blood rippled warmly.
It wasn't that she fell in love with this man, no, she knew the feeling was only for her Enzo. But with Reymond feeling different, she felt a difficult feeling. If with Kenzo he always felt pounding, but with Reymond his heart pounding calm but warm.
"em, sorry, I was too excited" Reymond said unwell as he looked at the silent Alena and looked at her hand
"why are you so good to me?" alena asked, looking closely at Reymond's nervous face
The man can be seen sighing for a moment and staring back at Alena
"i just miss my sister, and when I meet you, I kind of find her back. I'm sorry Alena, I don't mean to be rude, but really, I don't mean anything bad to you" Reymond said
Alena smiled and shook her head slowly, she immediately grabbed Reymond by the arm and walked towards their parked car
"well it's okay. Let's just say I'm your sister. But in return you have to buy me a lot of pie and ice cream again" said Alena with her laughter made Reymond laugh happily and immediately nodded in agreement
"okay, I take that as blackmail" Reymond said, leaving Alena wide open
Alena didn't mind that. He just wanted to enjoy his time, enjoy the time that he himself did not know what it would be like. Reymond's presence will probably only be a color in her life, which whether the man is good or not, Alena no longer cares. Her life is hard, and she's just trying to enjoy it.
...
The Barren'ts Agency
Kenzo sat with a face that could not be interpreted
"he went with a man?" muttered the million charms man
"yes king, Lian told me. If the man had come several times to meet Miss Alena" replied Edward
"let's just be wild, maybe it's his friend" Kenzo said and Edward nodded immediately.
However, Kenzo felt uneasy that day when she found out Alena was leaving with another man.
