Cold Man And Miss Stone
32. Soraya's Birthday
Emilia deliberately did a lot of work in preparation so that on Soraya's birthday she could have a reason to be tired. But when Emilia was ready to sleep dreaming of the tranquility of the village, Samuel knocked on her door.
"Let's go, Ema."
"I'm tired."
"I know." Samuel smiled guiltily. "But I can't leave you alone here. There are many outsiders now. Remembering yesterday's events .. You know?"
Heh. Reason died.
Emilia was forced to go down as well, following Samuel's steps near the pool which was already crowded with Soraya's friends. There was no more death to be remembered so they had fun without burden.
Emilia's eyes swept over some of Ahkam's familiar faces. Just to mark where else he must disappear for this calm to end.

Emilia never liked parties either in the village or in the city. Although he said Soraya's birthday party was held simple, the point is still a noisy party and filled with many people.
It was tired of having to go back and forth to bring drinks, but Ema again had to be patient for the sake of Mahesa.
When he was called to fill a drink at Soraya's guest table, someone accidentally conceived Emilia's leg.
He saw that, clearly from the glasses, but pretended not to the point that Emilia fell, breaking the glasses containing drinks.
Emilia was the center of attention.
"Basic is not becus!" Nia rushed to help him pick up the broken glass.
Clearly they could not mock Emilia blatantly, as it would only embarrass the reputation of the Ahkam family.
"If your glasses make myopia, take it off and do your job!" whispered he was full of emphasis.
Emilia was silent. Know that the one who supported him was Nina's friend.
"Hey, Ema." Soraya called out to him when Emilia was planning to leave. "I'm sorry for what you did."
Hoh, so since he couldn't insult Emilia directly, he intended to insult her indirectly?
Here she must have thought Emilia would not apologize because Emilia was so arrogant, and that made her denounced as a selfless maid.
Emilia's mouth opens when a hand lands on her shoulder. Emilia could feel some people gasping.
Senior is indeed a crafty person.
Emilia was bluffing her teeth before turning her head. She was greeted by a beautiful face that Emilia was sure there was no beauty as beautiful as her in this place right now.
His wife Mahesa, Rashi Anuja.
"I'm the one who apologized." Samuel immediately intervened followed by several Ahkam including his wife Argantana. "Rashi, thank you. I'll have my waiter correct himself."
Rashi smilingly stroked Emilia's face. "I just hope this girl doesn't feel depressed."
Soraya could only clench her lips to hear the wife of the famous young conglomerate defending Emilia. In the end it was all dim before it actually exploded, and Emilia was asked to go to the back to take care of the dishes alone.
As he dissolves alone in silence, Rashi once again appears silently.
"Did Senior ask Brother to come?"
It was Emilia's first time meeting Rashi, but Senior Mahesa told me a lot about her.
"Sister just asked me to make sure you're okay here." Rashi crouched down beside her, grabbing Emilia's hand. He gently cleaned the soap residue there. "You should think of something else when you want to go undercover. How could you force yourself to do this?"
Emilia thought the same.
"Also, you bought Samuel's agency?"
"Senior angry?"
"Hmmm, not really." Rashi replaced Emilia cleaning the dishes. Although he looked like a lost angel on earth, he could not help but touch everything. "But there's something you're hiding from you."
"There's a lot of things that Senior is hiding from me."
Rashi chuckles. "One of them .. the agency was actually controlled by Samuel. So buying it to set up Samuel wasn't a fixed decision. But, it brings you closer to your goal."
Fishing Samuel and get Oto.
"Also, a message from me, Emilia. Be careful in acting. Brother doesn't want you to get hurt."
Emilia was just trying to hold back her frown. In the end it sucks to hear that from Mahesa's wife's mouth.
