Attracting a Heart-Captured Dragon
Chapter 5's
Morning welcomed me back, with half-conscious body and eyes that still look tired I got a message containing the amount of my salary while working in the Art Gallery.. To my surprise I read it carefully, it seems that ilker Bey paid a little more than promised and told me not to work in an art gallery anymore.. Not because of my fault, but he felt ashamed of me. Afraid of the repercussions that might occur, I tried to contact her.. However, Ilker Bey apparently sent me another text that contained an explanation that serkan had previously met him and told him to be mature and if he did anything again in passing, then the shuffles will make the calculation. So he finally apologized to me..
Reading the contents of the message that ilker bey sent today, I don't know why I feel whether I need to leave it to do something like this? Why does he seem to interfere in my life? Makes me feel guilty for acting like that to her. Why am I not thinking about his position either? Is he not a CEO? More eyes are on him, how the impact on him over the events in the gallery and so on.. Once I think back, maybe he'll also feel uncomfortable if someone asks about what happened that night. Moreover, he was very helpful to me even sacrifice time, prestige, and position.. But I resentfully spoke as if insinuating him with the upper class..
“ Almira.. Not awake yet? Can we come in?”
Lilian and Kirey were standing in front of the entrance of Almira's room
“ Login.”
“ Hey.. Are you okay? We heard a little story from ozge prihal last night.”
Lilian said, clasping Almira's hand with anxiety
“ Yes.. I'm fine. Calm down.”
“ Forgive us.. Instead, it's Sunday, you're off, right? Want to go?”
“ You are not wrong anything.. So stop giving me that look and reason.. Okay?”
“ If it is so.. Almira basera's..”.
“ Hmm.. Wha what?? ”
“We are curious about the photos ozge sent.. Who's that handsome guy? Do you meet often? I heard from ozge, that man is not from the common people.”.
“ Seriously, Ozge says he even brought a fashion stylist and perias? As well as that dress, which you're displaying right now, she's setting up?”
Kirey who was curious by pointing at the hanging Dress
“ Yes right.. But honestly I was surprised by what happened last night.”
“ He also delivered you last night?”
“ Yes..”
“ What is the relationship between you? It is impossible for a man to treat a woman like this mir.. I'm afraid you're being played.. Moreover, your status is very different”
“ None.. I'm sometimes confused why me and him can be like this.”
“ But mir.. If I don't remember wrongly, look from the photo ozge sent.. Although a little different but I'm pretty sure it looks like he's the same guy.”
Kirey said with a serious face trying to remember something
“ You mean?? You ever seen him??”
“ Do you remember when you graduated in the middle of the semester, during a seminar with good judgment from Mr. Onur, you and 3 of your graduating friends were called to his room.”
“ Yes.. There I asked you both to go home first because I was afraid that I would have a long discussion with Mr. Onur”
“We actually intend to wait for you because we want to buy you dinner.. But because of seeing the incident, kirey and I chose to go home.”.
“ Genesis??”
The shocked Almira grasped Kirey's arm slightly tight
" Ooh, you mean the handsome guy who wears Hoodie?? And another one in a suit. That one??"
" Yes lilian.. You remember that.."
" what?? What do you remember and you know??"
“ You really don't remember? The man who sits and is like in pain in the corner of the room entrance Pak onur?”
“ Yes.. I saw clearly the man suddenly stood up and with his hand broke the window glass of the room Mr. Onur.”
“Pak Onur and one man in a suit tried to calm him down, even your three friends avoided the man.. But you came over and wrapped the bloody man's hand in a piece of glass with your handkerchief. Though your own forehead was hurt by broken glass.”
“You don't remember mir?”
“ From there we see Mr. Onur calling you in and the two men into his room and we go home.”
I was immediately speechless when I heard Kirey and Lilian. My mind immediately floated trying to remember the events told by them.. I tried hard to twist my memory when it happened.. Instantly I began to recall little by little the events of that day, but why did I not at all remember that it was a hand? Looks like it happened almost a year ago.. Wait for.. As I recall one of the men gave me his business card and said call him if anything happened.. Where did I put that business card? I looked in the closet and studied at my desk.. When I looked in my notebook, I still kept the business card and it was written on it by General Manager, Emre Erener.
Questioningly trying to convince myself, I contacted emre and asked him to meet me today.. I asked that she not know that me and emre would meet, at first emre sounded objected but after I explained my reasons, she agreed to meet with me.. Not taking long, I immediately prepared to go to the cafe where we would meet.
“ Hey.. Wait long? Sorry, jam” happened
" It's okay, I didn't get here long either.."
“ So... is there anything you want to see me arrive like this?”
Emre said while calling the salesperson to order a drink
“ Why didn't you tell me what happened last year? This is your card, right?”
“ You finally remember it?”
“ More precisely Kirey and Lilian. They were my best friends and that reminded me of what happened that day.”
“ How's your head? You were hit by broken glass, right? What leaves a mark?”
“ That little wound? No..”
“ Thank goodness.. Brother, I mean Serkan Kak feels very guilty to you especially if it leaves a mark.. Because we saw your forehead bleed at that time.. He tried to come to campus several times but did not see you at all.”
“ So he already knows I am not from Indonesia and so forth from Mr Onur?”
“ Yes, a little information I also tried to find out.. Sorry."
" Serkan told you to?"
" Don't get her wrong, Big Brother only intends to account for his actions. I see you've treated Mr. Onur like your own parents.”.
“ Yes.. He helped me and always rebuked me even with his spicy words.”
“Good.. My brother thinks like that too. Brother also tried to meet you but you are difficult to meet, especially when we are also always busy with work. Then until he saw you for the first time at the restaurant Mete, he was surprised to see you and it turned out to work there but you don't remember it at all. Finished the event at that time brother immediately asked about you on Mete.”
“ He's like that? Wh why? I don't even remember it at all.”
“ Because you were present on the worst day for him.. For him, you seem to make him forget the problems he faced”
“ But he and I have no relationship whatsoever.”
“ Hmm.. You know, sometimes comfort, security, and sometimes maybe that affection can appear without us realizing it to people we don't even realize will be present in our lives”
Said Emre who drank his drink who came and continued speaking
“ You mean is....?”
“ I will not tell you more, until the time comes I will explain everything to you.. But for now all you have to know is, thanks to your presence I see abi has improved.. Even he could reopen himself little by little.”
“ Did he say anything to you?”
“ Not much. abi is now trying to reopen the thing he forgot. Not only for himself of course, you certainly feel strange with his nature and appearance that arrived.
“ I understand, you don't need to explain.”
“ No.. No. gabe.. I quite understand, you calm down.”
“ Thank you.”
Our conversation stops here.. When I finished, Emre wanted to take me home, but I refused.. I asked, what did you do today? Emre replied, he is currently exercising.. Either boxing, swimming, whatever he wants to do.. I nodded at him and walked away.. While on my way, I daydreamed about what had happened to me in the past few months.. Now I understand why I feel so interested when I'm around him.. Is it because I feel comfortable? Or as emre said, baby? Is there a tool that can tell me how I feel right now about her? And what I should do.
. . . . . . . . . .
The morning greeted me back with a slightly sunny weather.. After several days of visible ash with piercing air, at least today can feel a little warmth of the sun. Waking up and sitting on a blanket caress that warms me, right now what is seen in my eyes is a beautiful dress that still hangs.. After I thought back, it seemed like handing me a lot of things and I had never returned a single one.
“Mir.. What is today working at the restaurant?”
Lilian who was standing in front of Almira's room door
“ No, Login.. What's the matter li?”
“ Don't cry him mir.”
Kirey's words arrived and sat down next to Almira
“ You also can not help me rey. I have no other choice..”.
“What?? What's the matter?"
“ My college spoon asked me to come to a company to see and ask for data for research. But it turned out that it clashed with the schedule of the seminar which happened to require me to attend.. Soooo's.. Mir.. Pleaseee, Can you??”
“ So you're telling me to sneak into economics to replace you, take training, then go home with data? NO. NO.”
“ Come On mir.. You feel good that there are no more revisions, so you can continue to the next data.. But I've had almost a month of no progress, instead had to replace the existing data.”.
“ that's because you're less thorough”
“ You know that.. Soooo.. Pleases.. Help mee's.. Okee's? Mirrr... Pleasee.. Kirey was in college at the time.”
“ . . . . What time and where should I go?”
“ Seriously?? MIRAAA.. LOVE YOUUU SOOO MUCH SISTAA.”
“ Onion.”
Vestel company..? Before I got in, I was trying to figure out what the company was like.. I read carefully it turned out to consist of 5 companies. Vestel Group is a multi-industrial manufacturer, operating in the fields of electronics, home appliances, mobile technology, LED lighting, and defense. Seriously?? There are so many developments made by this company, no wonder Lilian chose this company. But I forgot to ask what kind of data he needed this time.. But maybe I can call him when I get there, okay just go in first I thought inwardly.
Arriving at the entrance, I was not sure that I reached the same company as Lilian gave me. My eyes kept looking for evidence that it was true that this was the company.. I entered the main lobby, it really looks different once the company is classy and has a motivation for development and others.. All the exteriors and interiors in this company look perfect.. Then I took my foot toward some students who were waiting for the company's main General Manager to show himself and it turned out to be EMRE! It looks like the women are hysterically looking at Emre's face this time, but all I do is lower my face.. If he's her General Manager means the man is her CEO isn't he? Aharggghhh!! Why can this happen so easily? Luckily I brought a hat this time, so I could hide and cover my face well.. Emre then started and told us all to follow him.
Replacing Lilian here turned out to be able to give me a lot of new knowledge that I can learn.. And from here it looks how magnificent this company is with many employees who work here.. For some reason suddenly crossed by me his face that was sitting alone at dusk before night every month.. Is it because of job pressure? Has anyone threatened his position? No wonder about his position in a company of this size, there is no way that the burden he bears is just like me an ordinary employee.. Almira! What are you daydreaming about..
The tour of the company completed switching on individual training classes and data requests intended for the company.. I also gave the paper that was given to me to be handed over to the lecturer who was on duty and then handed over to Emre. After completion we were welcome to the main banquet room and served with various foods and drinks while waiting for the collected data to be given to us and waiting for their turn to be called one by one. Since it was past lunch time and I did not have time for breakfast this morning, I greedily ate and drank everything provided without seeing if anyone was watching me.
The unexpected incident came when two other students were joking with laughter with their friends and accidentally hit the table I was sitting on so that the plate containing the cream puff cake and the right wine glass were located in front of me was spilled and about the pants and shirt I was wearing. They were surprised and apologized to me, but I did not want to cause more attention, I walked out of the banquet hall and looked for the nearest toilet. Trying to clean, but the red juice was so attached to the shirt I was wearing.. When I looked in the mirror in front of me, it turned out that my shirt was very wet. Why am I so panicked that I am not aware of my current behavior?! How is this, even though I use the inner sleeveless sweatshirt can still be seen some curves of my current body part. Trying to get out of the toilet with an attached tissue trying to cover it then walking back to the banquet room to pick up the blazer I was using earlier, but..
“ TOO.... PI”
Almira was surprised that someone had taken her hat
“ Nice hat.”
“ Mr glasses.”
“ Stop calling me that! I have a name. And, did you intentionally use a thin shirt like that? You're not cold?”
“ What?? Wasn't it! There was in the banquet hall... Forgetit. Why do I explain it to you”
Almira was a little annoyed by taking the Hat from Hand Serkan
“ Oya? Then what does a psychology major do that sneaks up and turns into an economics and engineering major here? What if your lecturer finds out you replaced your friend?”
Say Serpen by folding both hands
“ Mr. glasses.. I mean Serkan Bey.. Sorry, it's not like I'm trying to steal data or whatever it is by replacing my friend. Please, I intend un..”
I wasn't done talking, there was a loud noise coming from the direction of the banquet hall that was walking towards me. Hearing that suddenly made me feel panicked and confused about how, especially my shirt is currently wet while the blazer I use is left in the banquet room chair.. What if they find out? Hand it over as if understanding then pull my hand and open one of the doors that are beside us to enter the room to avoid them. But it turns out that the room opened by him is the cleanliness room in his office so it feels crowded for the two of us to move because the room is not spacious and the equipment for cleanliness is a lot here.. I tried to shift my head so that he did not feel claustrophobic with his height, but what happened was that I accidentally pushed one of the buffer brooms on top of which there was a pile of bottles and dus tipped to fall. But.. Why don't I feel pain?
“ You okay? Can you help get rid of this dus”
“ What..?”
As soon as I lifted my head up to see it, it was seen that both of his hands were holding the weight of the falling brush to avoid hitting me.. His head was like a white detergent.. Suit The expensive shirt and tie she wore was exposed to the green floor cleaning liquid, even smelling the fruity aroma of her current.. Dus on the left shoulder seems to look heavy visible from the size of the box that looks a little big, but he tried to hold it so as not to hit me. I also tried to push the box to the floor because it was impossible for me to lift it, but unfortunately what I did was actually cause a very loud sound to be heard.. As soon as I saw the contents of the box it turned out some used cans and 1 glass container that was broken on the floor. Why am I so stupid now?? Someone opened the door to this room.. How'this? If anyone sees us, it could cause trouble.. Even my shirt is still wet.. Return the shank swiftly turning my body towards the back, so that he can cover me..
“ Sir hand it over?? What are you doing here?"
“ None. Can you tell Emre to come here?"
“ Good sir.."
The officer went and closed the door again
“ Wait until Emre comes here and go with him. He will help you”
“ Looks like I always give you trouble.. Sorry.”
“ If you feel so, consider me eating next time”
“ What??"
" I chose the place."
" Baikkc. Sure was! Let me know when you have free time.”
“ I go first. Wait for Emre, okay?”
“Serkan.. I'm sorry, for my nature the other day when you helped me.. And I also want to thank you.”
Without saying anything, he turned around and opened the door by waving a little hand at me from the opposite direction and then left me while cleaning his head and opening the suit he was wearing. I must have made trouble for him again.. There was the sound of many employees asking about the current state of the call.. Almira, why are you in this position? What are you doing so hard, and why is my presence such a source of trouble for him? Before long I waited, Emre who came with a surprised look at me, made me bow down in shame.
“ Emre's.. It seems like there is no face for me to say thank you very much.”.
“ What? Ahaha.. Just chill. I actually wanted to thank you”
“ What? Why?”
“ It's been almost 2 years over I didn't see abi.. Give abi (Sister leave) like that.. Know it? Usually he acts very cold even like a robot walking”
“ Free if I ask you the reason, right?.... Definitely your answer...”.
“ If the time is right, I'll tell you.. So you don't have to feel disinclined to me.”
“ Apart from that, forgive already troublesome and thank you emre..”
“ I think you should have said that to abi.. Because I saw he suddenly had to take a shower in the office before the next Meeting”
“ She has a meeting?”
“ Yes..”
Emre looked at me with a smile on his face.. I just lowered my face too.. Once until then he immediately left after driving me to return to the company.. I went straight back into the apartment. As soon as the room and finished cleaning up, I tried to contact Emre asking if the Meeting went well? But what Emre replied to was unexpected, he sent a photo that showed Serkan talking with a serious face. Somehow my mind is currently asking, who is the woman who can be beside and beside him later?
