Zeline who had just sat in her work chair was startled by a question from a woman who was already standing in front of her.
"What is your relationship with our GM?" ask the woman.
"There's no connection whatsoever, I've told you to stop harassing me because I've never disturbed your peace!" Zeline answered with a sniff.
"It's not that simple. There must be some other connection between you. Yesterday was clear when GM stood up to you more than his date. The women who always alternated he brought never got such treatment, only those women who always struggled on his arms without any response from him. Everything looks different to you. Say it! What's going on between you and Mr Tian?" the woman asked still forcing Zeline to answer.
"What does it have to do with you if I have a relationship with him?" zeline's circus behind asked gave a gaze that could make people shudder in horror at seeing her.
"Lucy is one of the women Mr. Tian, as long as you want to know. So naturally she asked," said another woman whom Zeline was convinced was a friend of the woman named Lucy.
"Oh, good then. Please tell him to stop harassing me. You also take it easy, I will keep my distance from your beloved manager" Zeline smiled and it astonished them.
"Dissolve! Go back to your respective desks" said the bespectacled woman who had just arrived there disbanding them. Who else if not Hanum.
At lunchtime, Zeline had no intention of getting out of her chair. He leaned his head on the table with both hands folded into his pedestal. The only employee close to Zeline is Shanum. He has offered Zeline a ride out, but she refuses, saying she is not hungry and Shanum can't force her.
Moments later, Shanum came with two packs of burgers and two ice tea cups to Zeline.
"Ze, fill your stomach at least with this" said Shanum, who had been sitting in Zeline's samling chair.
"I–"
"No repulsion, eat this! I've bought it," Shanum said quickly cutting out Zeline's sentence that would reject it.
"What's up, Ze? I noticed that you look so moody? What did Lucy say was the cause? If yes, then forget it. He's just one of our GM-obsessed employees" Shanum said, trying to appease Zeline.
"No, Shan. I didn't think of such a useless thing at all. I was just sad to think of someone who had left me. I expected him to struggle, but he chose to leave when I asked him to leave" Zeline replied. Zeline tells Hanum the truth about what made him sad, and Hanum hears it a bit because she had told him a little bit about the man she loved before.
"You guys meet back?" shanum asked softly, who was answered nodding by Zeline.
"His attitude never changed, he still thinks of me as his lover. However, every time I asked for certainty he just kept quiet. And yesterday when I asked him to walk away from me, he chose to leave without fighting for me. I really hope he struggles," Zeline explained with tears beginning to trickle out.
"I love her, Shan. Loved her. I tried as hard as I could to forget, but still couldn't. Every day every time I remember him and I miss him" Zeline said, covering her face with both hands as she could no longer hold on.
Shanum who saw it all quickly hugged Zeline, trying to provide calm and comfort to a friend he already considered like his own brother.
"Ze. Do you believe in the name of destiny?" shanum asked who was answered nodding by Zeline.
"If you believe in destiny, then you must also believe in a soul mate. The soul is in the hands of the power, as is death and sustenance. Believe Ze, no matter how hard you maintain your relationship. If you are not a match, then you will be separated. But, if fate does say you are a match, then no matter how hard the obstacles that separate you, in the end you will remain together. We as human beings will not be able to oppose it all, live your life well, and leave all this to the almighty because this is his decision," said Shanum who had let go of his embrace and grasped both hands of Zeline who started to stop his crying.
"Now spend this, and be a strong woman!" pinta Shanum on the slightly smiling Zeline, heard him.
