EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episode 101's

...

My heart beats so fast. I remember my phone, I better turn it on now who knows Bayu wants to track it. Then I immediately sat on the sofa like that, trying to sit quietly while reaching for the entrepreneur magazine on the table.

Not for five minutes, the sound of knocking on the door blew away the quiet atmosphere here. Then the door opened from the outside and a cheerful greeting from there sounded. “Prof. Bora. I am in—ohh where—“

“Log in. Profs. Bora asks you to wait here.” I said quickly before the two female students in the doorway left. They came sooner than I expected, but it was the best.

The two looked at each other for a moment but finally stepped in leaving the door closed again. Although the two were a bit awkward sitting on the sofa with me but they kept approaching me until before the two sat down, the door of the room opened quickly and wide which made us turn to the doorway.

As I thought, there was a prof. Bora was with three men dressed in black and another in a maroon suit at the back. At first the woman's facial expression was tense but when she saw me standing she looked confused.

Before prof. Bora spoke, I quickly said. “Prof, they've been waiting for you to continue with the balance. And other students will come here in turn.”

Professor Bora understood quickly what I was up to, she immediately nodded and asked the two students to approach them to the table.

The people in black suits looked awkward, confused should follow prof. Bora to his desk and it makes me laugh with satisfaction. So they don't want to make a fuss on campus. Of course there are a lot of people here! They will not dare!

“Oh! Who'sis this?! Icha!! I got the Jackpot today!” A familiar voice in my ear was heard from behind these large-bodied men.

The man who was wearing a maroon red suit walked past his men to look at me.

Oho!

I knew his face, I met him at the company that night! But I forgot his name.

“You—“ I try to remember what his name is, but the more I think the more I don't remember.

“I forgot what your name is.” I finally said. Try to stay calm and not care. I sat back down and immediately opened the magazine to occupy myself.

“Julien Gilang Pratama.”

Aye!

He introduced his name Gilang at that time. Someone who claims to be Rey's friend and wants to give me a gift. Could it be that he was also fighting over the antidote for the poison?

“Calcate. Yes I remember now.” I answered without interest.

From the end of my eyes, Gilang seemed to chase away the three men who followed him for the three waiting outside. Then this man walked up to me and sat down beside me, so close. Uncomfortable, I shifted away from the action that made her laugh.

He's nuts!

What's so funny??

“Now I understand why Rey forced me to give you a gift. You're an interesting woman. There is something about you that makes me unable to stop thinking about it.” His whispers made me look at him lazily. Not intending to reply to his words.

“You know what's interesting is that Bora has since said that she doesn't know you. But why are you here? Could it be that you are trying to buy my time here with that student and let your army bodyguard go to save you later? Your plan is easy to guess.” I can't argue with his words.

However, this impromptu plan is not neatly arranged. I should have told prof. Bora with my plan.

“To be exchanged for information with the antidote to the poison that Stefan is investigating. She won't let her fiance in danger.”

A fiancee? I just found out this. No wonder, they were both handsome and beautiful. Totally fits!

“But instead I got my sample here!” Glad laughs complacently still whispering to me.

“Because you have obtained that sample, shouldn't you release the prof. Bora?! Just take me instead. You don't need it.”

“No! Where possible! Who knows if he will report to the police!” I frowned, thinking that Gilang did not seem to know how Bayu.

He should have been more afraid of the siege of the army, right?

Seeing this man watching prof. Bora, I need to distract him to stall for longer. “So what gift did Rey give back then? You must be curious and secretly open it ‘kan?”

“Oh? Whatisthis? Have you changed your mind now?”

“You should have told me in the first place that the gift was a gold bar or a diamond. If I had known, I might have considered!” I answered as casually as possible, trying not to be intimidated by it.

“So you're a materialistic woman, huh? I can give you more gold and diamonds.” Glad to shift and approach me, absolutely disgusting!

“Of course! In this world who is a woman who is willing to eat only love? Life support costs are also very important.” If it wasn't because I wanted to buy time, I wouldn't have been forced to say nonsense things, which were clearly like this.

But somehow Gilang seemed to like my provocation. He smiled with interest at me which made him look even more of a jerk.

“Tell me again what do you like? I'll give it to you as long as you're mine.”

“Don't be a hypocrite Mr Julien! Surely many beautiful women are willing to be yours willingly.”

“But it wouldn't be interesting if they threw themselves at me just like that. I prefer a woman like you, very brave and love the game Pull-out.”

I let out a long sigh, hoping my acting this time will last a long time. I really don't like him!

But before I continued my code, suddenly the sound of mobile phone vibration from Gilang's pocket blew us away. He immediately reached into the flat object and answered it.

“Already! I'll take him now! Yes, he's our jackpot today.” Gilang looked at me with a grin. Then she closed the call and looked at me again with a satisfied smile.

“Alright, stop the charade! Now you have to come with me or I'll hurt those two.” Gilang pointed at the two girls who were chatting with the prof. Bora.

Geez!

Right, I don't think the student who came to this room might be the victim. Is this what you call your weapon of eating?!

“You won't dare! Here many people, I will shout!” I clenched my hand, holding back the emotions to not directly hit him.

“You want to try?” Suddenly, this crazy man pulled out a gun from the back pocket of his pants and directly aimed at two students who were turning their backs on us.
