Alfred Pov's
I walked towards the living room and sat down on a single sofa, leaning my tired body on the sofa. Suddenly my vision turned dark as a pair of hands covered my eyes.
I frowned confusedly, hearing the voice of a woman who chuckled softly, I immediately let out who the owner of the voice was.
"Lidya, when did you get here?" I let her hands off my face.
Lidya smiled gently in response to my question, she is my lover. I had no idea that Lidya had returned from France.
I was busy with my own thoughts, I realized upon hearing Lidya's passionate cry.
"I just got ti-Wow... Did you prepare this flower bouquet for me?"
I was shocked because of Lidya's sudden embrace, I expressed the important fact that the bouquet in Lidya's hands already had its owner.
But I couldn't break that sweet smile either, I had lied by sending Lidya to France when the wedding was imminent.
"I really like his grandfather." Lidya smiled happily.
My face stiffened, I couldn't answer Lidya's words. I can't possibly say that it wasn't for Lidya, then I would have hurt Lidya's feelings but on the other hand there was Lynn.
"Lidya, it's b-"
Lidya suddenly hugged me, pasting her face on my chest. I return Lidya's hug, pat her on the shoulder. On one side of my eye caught Lynn walking down the stairs.
"I really, really like it, Alfred." Lidya.
"Mama Hana is not ad-"
I want to stop the meeting between Lidya and Lynn, I can see the change in expression on Lynn's little face
"He who?" Lidya hooked her hand on mine.
As soon as my brain turned into plain paper, I twisted my brain as hard as I could but not the answer came out.
"Oh... I know she's the new maid in the villa, right?" Lidya exclaimed, smiling gently.
"Yes, she's the new maid here." I answered without thinking.
"Why did he get here then? Shouldn't he be home?" Ask Lidya, asking for an explanation.
"Maybe there's something left behind." I answered gently while stroking Lidya's head.
"Why is he still standing there instead of coming home?" The look in my eyes followed Lidya's index finger pointing at Lynn with an innocent smile.
"I'm saying goodbye first."
I stared at Lynn's back and turned and walked away, without turning around to ask for her stuff.
"You said he took stuff but didn't bring anything? This bouquet of flowers doesn't have her, does it?"
"No, of course it's yours." I looked at Lydia, smiled faintly, I'll just replace it and explain everything in the office tomorrow.
...🍒🍒🍒...
Hours home from work all of a sudden, I tidy up my stuff walking out. On Lynn's empty desk no one wants her stuff, I walk away ignoring everything.
One day, two days, three days passed Lynn still dodged. I don't care, either, but now I'm really annoyed with Pieter sticking around every day.
Pieter even took two people to the office so I would follow them to a bar that has recently been very famous for its drinks.
"Let's go, Alfred we haven't been together for a long time." Persuade Keanu, he was a friend and fellow student in college first.
Keanu has a handsome face, firm jaw, sharp eyes, and a sharp nose. His full name is Keanu Alqitorio, CEO of KA.
I glanced at Pieter sharply, Pieter blinked one eye at me. I really want to punch him in the face.
I let out a long sigh, they will continue to persuade me until I agree to their invitation.
I looked at Aaron looking out, he was not interested at all, from earlier he just kept quiet without saying a word.
"Let's go Alfred, I want to meet again with the angel who made me a drink." Persuade Keanu.
"Alright, after this you must not interfere with my work." Threaten me, Keanu and Pieter are happy.
"We'll be waiting at the Blue Charming bar. See you, buddy." Keanu waved his hand embracing Pieter and left.
I took a deep breath, finally the calmness of the world came to me. I focused on my computer.
Haa...
I raised my gaze, it turned out that Aaron was still sitting comfortably on the sofa. Aron returned my eyes, he suddenly stood up.
"I'll go first." Aaron waved his hand and walked out.
I was upset, among my friends. Aaron Anston was the strangest, he sometimes became very quiet and then turned into the most logical among us.
Tok...
The sound of knocking on the door broke my daydream, I let him in. Chrysanthemums carry documents that need to be signed.
...🍒🍒🍒...
Keanu waved his hand, signaling to me where they were. Keanu, Pieter, and Aaron are waiting at the bar door.
The four of us went inside the bar, the lighting was minimal, the music was silent and people were crowded in every room.
I ignored the gazes of the people, towards the bar table, Aaron ordered his drink, I looked around.
"What drink do you want to order, sir?"
A familiar voice filled my hearing, I turned my gaze towards the sound. A stranger stood behind the bar table and he was wearing a barista uniform.
