At seven o'clock in the evening, Karina was ready with the party dress that her boss had sent her this afternoon. Rey obliges herself to come as a partner at the party that night. Inevitably Karina assented because as usual her boss was not to be denied let alone rejected. For the safety of her job, Karina is better according, after all she can eat for free at the party later. The upper middle class business party that has often been attended by Karina before but for the national level. But this time he was invited to an international company party.
Although there is pride for him, it still makes him uncomfortable. Although he mastered English* and a little Beland* but socializing with new people made him a little difficult, nervous. Who is not nervous about attending a new person, let alone at a company party. And he is required not to make mistakes because it will make the company get into trouble.
Tok tok tok tok
The door of her hotel room was knocked from the outside making Karina's nervousness even greater. Repeatedly he convinced himself that all corporate parties are the same even if it is national and international.
Cclek
"Yes?" Rey turned around as soon as Karina's room door opened. Rey who was initially indifferent froze to death looking at Karina's perfect appearance. That knee-length black dress with sabrina sleeves though not too tight makes Karina look graceful, elegant and classy.
Karina is like most socialite women. Karina blushed feeling nervous being looked at closely by her boss.
"What's a bad look?" Karina asked nervously afraid of making mistakes in her appearance. Because he had refused firmly the MUA who wanted to make over her. He felt able to beautify himself.
"Snail." Rey replied with a flat face, her shock was already manageable. If only he did not immediately realize in his amazement staring at Karina surely in a moment he would hit the woman's body and lock her tightly in the room and support...
"****!" Umpat Rey slowly.
"Yes sir?" Karina's question still felt annoyed at the 'snipples' ridicule by her boss. But he could not answer it just nagging in his heart to cuss his boss.
"Don't stay away from me and make mistakes!" Rey's advice when they want to enter the hotel ballroom hall where they stay on the twenty floor, while their room is on the thirty-fifth floor of the top floor, the most up, the president's room was a special room for him.
Rey turned to look at Karina flat because her arms were not immediately grabbed by Karina to show everyone that they were a couple.
"W-What's the matter, sir?" Karina asked confused.
"Did you just go to a party? ... And I don't think so." Firmly Rey stared at the confused Karina alternately staring at her crooked arm ready to be held in her arms.
"Oh... Sorry sir." Karina directly grabbed Rey's arm tightly to reduce her nervousness. Rey smiled thinly and thinly felt anxious with the look of Karina's nervous face even looks adorable.
Ballroom doors opened featuring the main character of the party, the young master Setyawan. All eyes looked in admiration at him yet everyone was shocked as well. Especially seeing Rey holding a beautiful girl. Everyone started to whisper about Rey, because they knew Rey was an anti-woman.
Not even a woman he had ever taken with him other than his personal assistant Aldi. Some even think they are a couple because they are together too often. But now it seems to break the rumors about Rey's departure by confidently holding the arm of a girl whose business partners know is the second secretary of young master Setyawan.
"Good night young master, how are you?" Greet someone who approached Rey.
"Hm." Rey replied with her face.
"May I know who your beautiful maiden companion is?" Ask another business partner. Rey turned her head looking intently at the young man of her business partner as well.
"Include me, I'm Mr. Rey's secretary, my name is..."
"Can you get me a drink?" Sela Rey stared at Karina sharply, Karina herself frowning at why Rey was angry with her. But he was only able to obey Rey's orders without being able to resist, he just smiled feeling guilty at the young man who was acquainted with her earlier and immediately went towards the served drink area.
"It looks like you're really not someone important other than your boss' lackey?" Said someone with sarcasm approaching Karina who was choosing a drink for Rey. The woman approached Karina while taking the wine that was also prepared there.
Karina just silently nonchalantly responded to the woman who was suddenly blabbering indistinctly nearby. Because it did not feel familiar, Karina did not mind him even busy choosing a non-alcoholic drink because Rey had told him that he was told to be prevented if he wanted to drink alcoholic beverages.
"Hey lady, didn't you hear me?" Asked the woman again bitterly looking at Karina sharply.
"Yes!" The woman almost screamed in annoyance. Karina just shook her head in disbelief with the behavior of women with dresses that lack the material despite looking luxurious and glamorous.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to talk to people I don't know, let alone talk rudely to me." Karina said sternly and firmly went straight to Rey's place with grape juice.
"Basic fucking woman!" The woman was upset that Karina was ignoring.
Karina had brought two drinks, one for her boss and one for herself because she was also weak in alcohol she chose grape juice as well, the same as Rey.
Rey received the drink instantly without further ado, sipping it a little but she frowned at the taste of the drink. And he turned to look at Karina who was no longer behind him. Rey searches the hall and forgets her business colleagues who tell each other that makes Rey fed up. Because most of them lick and brag about their work.
Brucks
"Oh." Lirih Karina because the woman named Jessica had pushed him to hit the wall in the toilet hallway. Yes, Karina went to the toilet, because Rey was talking to her colleagues Karina chose to go straight to the toilet without saying goodbye to Rey. After all, he would return as soon as he finished throwing away his wishes.
Especially now that he felt his head throbbing after sipping his bitter-tasting grape juice at the beginning yet sweet at the back then. Karina stared at her grape juice feeling strange. He just found out grape juice abroad is different from grape juice in the homeland.
"Is the grape juice here a little bit bitter, huh?" Guman Karina until she felt the need to go to the toilet for a while.
But because he felt his head pulsating made Karina slightly shrewdly walk when she only sipped a little. And suddenly the woman named Jessica who approached him while taking the drink was pushing him and this is where Karina is now sitting limp in a quiet toilet hallway.
"You know what your fault is?" Jessica said staring intently at Karina who was only able to massage her temples.
"What's my fault?" Karina replied in her daze.
"It's your fault for approaching Reynaldi!" Jessica shouts as she pushes Karina's head.
"Mr Rey?"
"Are you just the lackey?" Karina looked up at Jessica with her eyes starting to blur because she could not stand the throbbing of her head.
"You heard!" Jessica cried again that Karina did not respond to because she felt like a drunk person.
"You know Rey is my fiancee." Firmly Jessica pushed once again Karina's head without mercy and left her just like that.
While Rey who has been around the hall since looking for the existence of Karina felt anxious because she did not get her existence but as far as the eyes looked she did not find Karina's whereabouts. Anxiety and panic began to hit Rey, she was afraid of something happening with Karina especially the drink that Karina brought was not grape juice but was an alcoholic wine that had a high alcohol content
And Karina is very weak against alcohol not up to one glass, one drink of wine is able to make drunk lose consciousness and maybe even mingle unclear. Rey is afraid Karina's situation is used by others. Especially in this country adheres to the association system **** free.
"****." Umpat Rey is upset.
"Hi Rey!" Say hello to Jessica to Rey immediately tangled spoiled in Rey's arm which was immediately pushed rough by Rey and it made Rey immediately look at Jessica sharply.
Rey does have a phobia of female touch except for Oma and Karina. I don't know because of what.
