While waiting, Edric did various jobs. I don't know what job it is. But he seemed unfocused. Alice's existence made her always glance towards the girl. Somehow Edric felt there was a magnet that seemed to pull him in that direction.
'It turns out Al's fiancee is cute too, ' he thought as he looked at Alice who was still asleep on the sofa.
...
Feeling disturbed by the existence of this little girl, Edric decided to wake Alice up.
"Alice, wake!" His voice was flat with standing beside Alice's feet. Of course Alice was not bothered, she did not even move in the slightest.
"Alice Lawrence, do you think my room is a hotel?" The scream then made Alice aghast and accidentally the girl's legs moved and kicked Edric's knee until the man lost balance and fell right on top of his body.
Both of Alice's eyelids opened wide, although Ayla actually felt ordinary. As an actress, she is used to interacting with the opposite sex this close even though it does not cross the line. But Alice's small body gave another reaction. Ayla could feel that her body was instantly stiffened, stiff and unable to move in the slightest.
Wanting to say it also feels like both of his lips are unable to open. While Edric instead looked relaxed, both of his eyes were staring at Alice intensely.
Faintly both corners of his lips were slightly interested. But not yet the smile was up, his face was neutral again. Without a word he immediately got up from that position and walked back to his seat.
"What's up here?" he asked after sitting in his seat of power.
"Eh, i-this sir. Report on the activities that our organization will carry out in two weeks ... ."
After that Alice explained the plan that she and her colleagues had made. Just like that, there was no more intention. When she finished, Alice walked out of the room obediently.
Now his relationship with Edric was nothing more than a student and lecturer, the effort he had also done had forgotten the girl. And this makes Edric feel a little empty, if you can be honest Alice's presence even though only a few days can make his monotonous life become more colorful.
"What the hell am I thinking? She's your sister's fiance, Ed," Edric murmured to himself, trying to remind himself.
On the other hand, Aldric saw Alice who had just walked out of the room feeling a little upset. But he chose not to be indifferent, especially he was still sure someday Alice would return to her knees and beg for her love.

Days passed, weeks to months changed. It did not feel Alice had gone through college for three months. Three very busy months for her, not less than her schedule as a famous actress.
How not? In addition to being the chairman of SMEs, he also set up a small boutique without the knowledge of anyone but Lucy. He poured out all his work with some other budding designers. It is not so difficult for her, as a girl who lives in the next few years she certainly knows how to trend in the future.
Within a month the boutiques had begun to develop. Alice will prove that she can stand under her own feet, without the lure of a surname.
"Alice, Lucy," cried Kiara Bell excitedly as she approached Alice and Lucy who were sitting on her stool.
"What's wrong?" ask Lucy wonder.
"Have you heard? The campus will hold three more days of camping," he explained enthusiastically.
"I'm not coming" said Alice lazily.
"All first-semester students are required to attend. This is the campus." Alice's lips instantly pursed in frown.
'Hah, I forgot this mandatory camping,' Inner Alice resigned, inevitably she had to come along.
"Hahaha, Alice your face is so funny ..." Kiara chuckles when she sees a friend who can act funny.
In an instant Alice's face had returned to normal, her flat face was now plastered again. Kiara fell silent, thinking Alice was angry.
Though not at all, Ayla is not used to being noticed by others, especially because of her silly behavior. Therefore, he behaves like this.
"Hmm, then later we have to shop for camping dong needs?" lucy asked to break the silence created for a few moments.
"Let's go shopping together" he continued, staring at Alice expectantly.
"Alright, come! But to the supermarket just plain yes," said Alice made Kiara smile back.
"Yes, I know one of those supermarkets that's cheap and complete." Kiara smiled broadly. One thing Alice realized, Kiara was a jolly girl regardless of how she looked.
.
.
.
In the afternoon, the three of them left for one of the supermarkets in the city. Lucy and Kiara look enthusiastic to choose their various needs for camping, while Alice looks ogah-ogahan. Even her things were chosen by Lucy.
He prefers to keep himself busy with his cell phone. Lucy and Kiara have gone out of nowhere. Alice looked to the right and left, scanning the supermarket she could reach.
But the whereabouts of his two best friends are nowhere to be seen. Which there is ...
'I feel I've chosen a regular supermarket gini deh, make hindarin him. How come he came here too, ' Alice thought, pretending not to see Aldric.
"Alice, are you following me?" frontal, overconfident.
"It's like you're following me. I'm here with my friends."
"Where are they then?"
"They exist ..."
"No, you must have left them to follow me, right?"
"Heh, ge-er once you. They suddenly disappeared. I'm sure you're the one who asked Malvin to take them away, right?"
"Where, Malvin was just behind me."
"That's in ... uh, where is she?"
"Where do I know," Alice replied.
He was sure by now, his friends would have deliberately left him alone with Aldric. And hell, Alice doesn't know the way home. Only the phone is in his hand, all the money, debit and credit cards are in the bag that Lucy brought.
"Argh, stupid!" it means to yourself.
"What's? You're saying I'm stupid?"
"Ck, yeah, you're stupid!"
"You..."
Alice walked away without caring for Aldric who still wanted to fight with her. "Hey, Alice. Don't go you!" meek Aldric followed Alice in front of him.
However, he felt responsible for the girl. Alice is alone now.
"Where are you going?" aldric asked after they reached the supermarket parking lot, but Alice did not answer. His eyes were busy glancing here and there.
"Alice!"
"Ck, of course you're going home!"
"Let me take you!"
"No need."
"Then it's okay." Aldric also stepped away, when he came out earlier he saw clearly that Alice's car had come out of the supermarket area. And he was deliberately indifferent to the girl, so that Alice would humble a little bit of her arrogance and would ask her for help from him.
While Alice who was left alone did not feel afraid, it was just that she did not know the way home. Contacting Lucy was also fruitless. Aldric who was still in the car was upset, Alice was indeed very changed. Cueknya not curly.
Beep ... Beep ...
The sound of the car horn made Alice turn her head, the already impatient Aldric chose to budge.
"Just this once, Al. Next time he will come to you" he muttered in the car, still maintaining his pride.
While Alice, after turning her head for a while she then returned to focus on her phone. Still contact Lucy, but still get no answer.
"Ish, watch out for you Cy!" annoyed.
"Eh, I'll just call home. Ask Auntie to send a driver," she continued after gaining enlightenment. While Aldric had opened the door of his car, his emotions that he had been holding back now began to want to explode.
Not far from there was Sylvia who was running towards Alice, she looked very happy. When Alice wants to call the house phone, suddenly Sylvia who was running slipped and fell on Alice.
"Aauww," cried the two, Sylvia even immediately complained of pain. It seemed like his legs were sprained, Aldric who saw that immediately approached the two.
"Alice, aren't you papa?" aldric asked while helping Alice to get up.
"Oh, duh.. is very sick," cried Sylvia dramatically.
"You just help him!" pinta Alice was flat, completely indifferent to Aldric's worries.
"But you?"
"I'm not papa, just help him! Looks like he'll die if left for much longer." Alice's words succeeded in making Sylvia round her eyes, if not being theatrical she would definitely be punching the mouth of not knowing herself.
"Alright," replied Aldric at last.
