Deja Vu [ Lilian Ashley ]
32. Lied

TRAVEL with various turns, climbs, to sudden stops does not make all passengers on this mini bus disturbed will sleep them.

Arriving at the location, everyone looked fresh due to getting a satisfied sleep even if only two hours more. Then we headed to the villa I had already ordered. Only one building, but there are many bedrooms, a spacious kitchen as well as a very large dining table. Just like the first tour I took.

Just like my guess, Kai and River must have come to the billiard table which could be seen immediately when opening the entrance. Even they do not care about the suitcase that is immediately put away.

"Choose each of your rooms. One room at least three people, yes. Then, clean up because soon we will have breakfast together," I said and got a nod simultaneously from all of them.

The commotion has begun.

"Sherly, come together. I can't sleep alone." Megan tugged at Sherly's hand.

"So spoiled base," Sherly scorned in a joking tone.

Not to forget about the boys.

Vin embraces Kurt. "The same cave as Kurt. Because we both slept with the lights off."

Having a frequency bedmate is very important so as not to be able to fuss about the lights.

"Sleeping with the lights off is healthier" Kurt chimed in with an aura of intelligence.

"Come DJ, same with us." Vin took the DJ who had occupied his suitcase in watching the commotion of everyone.

DJ started laughing. "Courtesy there are only two. Where do you want to put me? The floor?"

"Yes, if you want to, not pa-pa," said Vin who is quite annoying but funny.

Everyone entered their respective rooms of choice and the DJ stood next to me who was still standing to monitor around.

"Everyone has their own bedroom. I don't have it" said DJ. "If you can't be alone, then ...,"

He must have thought we'd be one room. Two people of different gender in one room is very dangerous and should be avoided.

"There are still two rooms, use one." I answered seriously. "Each of us can use it."

"Gue was just kidding," the DJ replied as he stroked my head. "Gue go in first."

Until now I wasn't sure if that guy had feelings for me. Just for a temporary job, if all was done, he would have said goodbye to me later.

I also took care of my things and coordinated to go to the nearest small restaurant. When we arrived, we found a buffet system that could take as much as possible with just a time limit. Yeah, of course the pay is covered by me.

The dining table has four chairs. I first took food with toast, a small box of butter as a spread, kidney beans and fruit salad. Snacks are better for breakfast. But, different from the others. Especially Kai who became the center of attention of the waiters. He took rice, grilled chicken, noodle soup with a bowl, steak, and some other very mountainous proteins.

"Want to eat or rob?" ask the DJ who is surprised in staring at the innate Kai until it needs a tray.

"Protein for muscle is important." Kai answered lightly. "Let's not loyo like lo."

DJ's eyes glanced cynically. "My body is bigger than elo times."

Without continuing their fruitless dispute, I approached the two-seat desks of Sherly and Megan. When I saw Megan's plate with only vegetable salad and beef-eye eggs, I smiled as I remembered that Megan was a real diet-mad girl.

"Hallo, I'm sitting here, huh?" I said as I sat in front of the two of them.

"Sure, Miss Manager. Go ahead," welcome Sherly who's starting to look up at my plate. While the plate looks normal which contains rice, soto and sus cakes. "Is the diet manager like Megan?"

I shook my head slowly. "Breakfast is better to eat snacks."

"The manager's body is very good, the goals are. So envious." Megan replied with awe.

I never thought about body posture. Maybe it's because my brain is only focused on thinking about this enigmatic life.

"Yes, really. This beautiful manager doesn't have a girlfriend?" asked Sherly in a seductive tone.

I couldn't answer that question and I was confused how to answer honestly. At the same time, DJ was present and sat down next to me while putting his plate on the table.

"Pusing sat down with Kai and River. They're too noisy" complained DJ. "Pick each other food until you forget your own plate has not been touched at all."

They are cute, yet compact brothers. I can't forget how they were like in my previous life. Am I the same as before as being their childhood friend?

Spontaneous DJ turned to me with a plain face. "It seems to have it, huh."

Silenced, that's all I can do. Or another way not to answer their words is to eat toast that I forgot to put butter on.

In a short time we finished breakfast. Next, head back to the villa and start preparing for a barbeque event before climbing to watch the leonid meteor. After being ready to arrange barbeque tools and materials, we all went to a small lake that was visited by quite a lot of visitors.

As much as possible I stay away from areas of water and crowds that risk endangering my life. It could be that I fell into the water like in the lake first, or maybe got stabbed by someone in the crowd. Even though I'm too paranoid, it's better just in case. Just like River, he rode a duck boat on the lake and now splashed to laughter by Kai. If it was me, it might have drowned and lost its life.

"Manager, this tour must be held often" said Megan with a mouth full of cotton sugar. Even though at breakfast, the menu is so healthy for the diet.

"All right, no problem" I replied kindly.

"By the way, why has Miss Manager changed her attitude lately?" Kurt asked me who I didn't realize was right next to me.

This guy has intelligence in analyzing. I have to be careful with him.

"Changes in human attitudes do have certain factors, indeed" I replied as wisely as possible. "And there is no obligation for me to mention these factors.

Kurt smiled. "Sorry, Miss. I'm too involved."

TRINGS!

My phone rang and meant a message notification popped up.

Inbox || [Unknown Number] : Why is your caffe closing?

This is a message from Zack and I also forgot to save the number. Just know that I remembered the operation plan that the Norn organization would carry out. Why haven't they opened the caffe until now? Is it because I didn't give them the keys?

Ah, yes. I forgot about that.

Immediately I approached the DJ who was chatting with tourists using a foreign language.

"DJ." JN." I pulled the tip of DJ's shirt until he turned to me. The DJ quickly ended the conversation and immediately responded to me. "Gue forgot to give the caffe key to the Norn members."

"Oh, I'm giving it to Zeha anyway" replied the DJ who relieved me. "Why is that?"

"But, why hasn't the caffe been opened yet Zack said?"

DJ's forehead shriveled, then he pulled out his phone hurriedly and directly pressed someone's contact to call.

"Hallo, Crystal."

A small sound was heard. "Why, DJ? Any issues?"

"Why haven't you opened the caffe until now? The target has checked the caffe," urged the DJ with serious facial water.

"Okay, I'm the same as the others OTW. I guess it's better the night because it's not too crowded."

I hurriedly interrupted. "Don't, Zack could be suspicious why the caffe opened late. After all we are gone three days and there is still plenty of time. Maybe tomorrow is better. I'll let him know if the caffe opens tomorrow."

The DJ nodded in agreement and immediately said what I said to Crystal. My ears heard Crystal approve the proposal and turned off the phone.

I quickly sent a message.

Sent to Zack: Sorry, it's a holiday. Tomorrow comes because it will open again.

My message was almost answered instantly.

Inbox || Zack: Okay. But where are you?

Sent to Zack: In the apartment. Take it easy, Zack.

There was no choice but to say that I was in the apartment because there was no way Zack would be monitoring me in there. As if I answered somewhere else like the campus, he would definitely approach the place just to monitor me.
