FOREVER HATE YOU'S
17. Request assistance

Brianna can't just wait for news without doing anything, she's agitated half-dead because Zach hasn't given her anything about Chico's condition. I want Brianna to fly to New York right now, but she doesn't know what to tell Jane about it. Jane never knew Brianna had a child, so should Brianna say she was sick? It seemed impossible, especially when he applied for a job his status was a single.

Brianna pacing in her room. He could not bear to be in this situation where he could only wait without certainty.

While on the other hand, Arthur actually accompanied Amanda clubbing in a famous night club in central London. The woman invites Arthur to join her on the dance floor, but Arthur refuses.

Arthur only watched Amanda sway from her position sitting on a VIP sofa while enjoying her fizzy drink. Yeah, Arthur avoids drinking alcohol if he's with a woman. He did not want to get drunk and caused him to be caught in a problem. Arthur doesn't bother with that.

"Aren't you going to drink?" Amanda went to Arthur's position, then thrust a glass filled with drinks towards the man.

"I've had a drink" replied Arthur, showing him his soda drink.

Amanda laughs. "I don't mean drink that, but this .." he said sniffing his chin towards the drink he was referring to.

"No. Tomorrow I have to go home to New York, so I can't drink tonight." Arthur reasoned, of course that was not what he had actually avoided.

"So, tonight is your last night in London? I thought you'd be here in a few days?"

"You know for yourself that my work and Gerard's been discussed" Arthur said.

Amanda nodded her head. He then sat clapping Arthur's body in his spoiled style.

"Then are you willing to spend time with me tonight?" tanyanya is full of meaning.

Arthur raised his eyebrows. Although from the beginning he had guessed where the direction of their meeting tonight, but he did not want them to end up in a one night stand relationship. Moreover, Arthur has rules that can not be contested. He doesn't want to disappoint Amanda because of the principles she holds.

"Come, Arthur! Think of this as a farewell from me, or if you want we can meet again at a later time when there is a chance," Amanda said.

"Humm, I'm not rejecting you, Manda. But I have a rule to spend the night with a woman, I don't want you to be disappointed." Arthur said frankly, because he knew Amanda personally, if Amanda was a call-woman then he wouldn't have been honest in the first place. He wouldn't think of the disappointment of a woman he only used as a tool to satisfy, but Amanda couldn't have made Arthur like that woman.

"I'll follow your rules, hemm?" Amanda blinked one eye, she began to dare stroke Arthur's arm.

"You'll be disappointed that I won't be able to do it with you" Arthur said honestly.

Amanda chuckles. He thought Arthur's words were a joke. "Don't joke, I'll make you want to do it with me" she replied with a confident seductive smile.

Arthur rolled his eyeballs. "Alright, if that's what you want. But, don't blame me if you're disappointed with my rules" he said.

Arthur and Amanda then leave the club' area, of course Amanda has been pounding along the road to the hotel they will soon visit. In the woman's mind, Arthur would be as satisfying as the man's appearance that seemed seductive of his womanhood.

At the door of the room they had ordered, Amanda tried to kiss Arthur's lips with her impatient gesture, but Arthur obviously refused.

"There is no kiss, Amanda," said Arthur, stressing his words.

Amanda was quite surprised actually, she also immediately cut down. Amanda's confused why Arthur should refuse her kiss? But, convinced Arthur will not turn his back on his body, he pulls Arthur into the room, he begins to strip him of his own clothes like a woman who knows what her man wants, but Arthur's voice stops Amanda from moving suddenly.

"I'm sorry, Amanda. I don't think this needs to go on."

Amanda looked at Arthur with a look of disbelief.

"Why?" shiver the woman.

"I don't want to make you like an impingement of has rat. Believe that what I am doing right now is best for us. I don't want to make a relationship complicated."

"I wouldn't have you tied to me if that's what you're afraid of, Arthur. We can soon forget what happened tonight, if that's what you want."

Arthur shook his head firmly. "No! I don't want anything more than a job relationship and a friendship between us" he said.

"I'm disappointed in your decision, Arthur," he said softly.

"I believe you will be even more disappointed if this continues. I'm a selfish man who demands my own satisfaction regardless of your satisfaction, Manda."

Amanda was shocked by the speech Arthur gave her.

"... i'm not against you, but I respect you as one of my partners. For that, it's better if it's stopped here or if we continue it then you'll feel worthless" Arthur later said.

Arthur left the hotel room, the goal of which was to return directly to the resort. I don't know why he feels bad. In fact, actually he always opens up to other women who might make him forget about an innocent girl he ruined 4 years ago. Unfortunately, every time he tried to do that, he realized that he could not.

Arthur knows he's crazy. Arthur realizes that he doesn't want any more girls or women. For this reason, he did not have the desire to marry and have a family, of course, also because of the factors of his parents' marriage that ended in divorce.

As soon as Arthur arrives at the Resort, he sees Brianna pacing the corridor. They looked at each other, and their eyes met each other. I don't know why Arthur could see the restlessness in Brianna's eyes. He wanted to ask what happened, but his ego was always higher when dealing with the woman.

Arthur tries to ignore him, as Brianna always ignores him.

"I'm going back to New York tonight." Brianna's voice stops Arthur. The man thought, maybe Brianna was going to leave immediately because of what she did last night that had harassed Brianna.

"I think it's none of my business" replied Arthur indifferently.

Silent. Brianna and Arthur both fell silent without communicating again. Arthur was about to enter his own room, although he could not ignore the anxiety that emanated from Brianna's attitude, but Brianna again voiced out in the seconds the man almost left her in the corridor.

"I have to go back tonight, too, but I don't have a good reason to tell your mother."

Arthur opened his mouth to comment on Brianna's statement, but the woman interrupted him before Arthur even let out his voice.

"... Can you take me to the airport, now? I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, but it's too late for me to book a taxi and I don't have the courage to, London is still so foreign to me." Again Brianna was forced to show his weak side to Arthur. Even if he could, of course he would want to cover it from the man.

Arthur was silent, he was still digesting Brianna's speech. Should she be happy that she finally asked for her help? It's just like Brianna needs it, isn't it?

Seeing that Arthur was silent, Brianna finally spoke again.

"If you mind, it's okay. Maybe I can ask Mr. Smith, maybe he'll help me."

Arthur's eyelids widen to hear Brianna mention Gerard's name. He couldn't possibly let Brianna depend on the man.

"Alright, I'll ask for help on--"

"I'll drive you," Arthur cut. Although actually he also did not understand why Brianna seemed to be in a hurry to return to New York tonight.

Should Brianna thank Arthur? I don't know, she's also confused about what to say, but she's grateful Arthur wants to help her.

"Have you bought the ticket?" ask Arthur.

Brianna nodded. "I bought it online an hour ago" he said as he walked back to his room, while Arthur followed behind the woman.

"Don't come in!" Brianna warns Arthur not to go into his room. "Let's wait here, I'll just take my stuff," he continued.

Arthur nodded without protest. Although there are many questions in his head about Brianna's sudden return, but he has not been able to voice his curiosity.
