The woman stepped in after the door of her apartment opened. The destination is the turquoise sofa which is the closest distance from the entrance. Put his bag on the table before dropping his body on the couch. 'Haaahh.' The umpteenth time today he sighed. The burden of work is already usual he holds, but not with the burden of the mind. If something were to disturb his mind, that was when he would lose all his strength. Well, that's how Calya is.
This time the one who was troubling Calya's mind was Arion. The guy he just met at the restaurant earlier, his new client. Curiosity prompted him to take his smartphone. I searched the internet for information about this man. His fingers danced on his cell phone, typing a keyword. 'Heir Radhika Group'.
'Paras Rupawan Owner Radhika Group'
'Heir Radhika Group and All Scandals'
'Radhika Group Heir Successfully Leads Subsidiaries'
'Biodata and Heir of Radhika Group Facts'
Unexpectedly there were so many articles that he could read from those keywords. Quite confusing if he had to read everything, therefore he decided to choose one of them. Something that most caught his attention. 'Heir Radhika Group and All of its Scandals'.
The article opens with some photos that appear to have been taken secretly by amateur cameras. All of the photos have one thing in common, Arion's visible face. Not alone, the man looks to be holding a friendly, hugging even kissing a different woman. Of course, the photos made Calya surprised. Until the woman could not read the article again.
Calya's hand switched to installing AR Glasses after forcibly closing articles on her phone. All the absurd coincidences he had experienced today, made him miss the man even more. He's dying to see it, Keanu. Looked at how fast he got into LOVATY. "It's been a long time" said Keanu as soon as the figure was seen. "Why should your faces be the same?" calya's reply. "What?"
"Don't it been three weeks since you last got here? How are you doing?" Keanu asked back. "Just like before, the routine of work is solid. Just.." the woman's eyes looked bright while answering the question from her virtual friend. "just?" Keanu did not let go of her gaze from the woman while waiting for her next words. "Some things are becoming more confusing" Calya continued. "What's that?"
Calya looked at Keanu, momentarily looking at his face. "Do you know how you look like this? I mean how you.. I mean whose face.. I mean from where.. Haahhh.. Have forgotten it! "Calya is frustrated with her own questions. It's not like the man will instantly understand. If he understands it seems like he has been programmed not to answer things related to information about LOVATY.
"Are you in trouble?" ask Keanu again. "Nothing! I'm just tired!" Java Calya, he has given up. "Just want to remind, if there's something disturbing.your mind you can tell me. Because he said.."
"Disclosing your feelings can make you feel better."
"Disclosing your feelings can make you feel better."
Calya simultaneously said the same sentence as the man. After so many times like that woman can guess the direction of her virtual friend's talk. He made me laugh slowly after that. "You know what, you really help me a lot. Conscious or not," a smile was engraved on his face, representing the sincerity of his utterance. "really? Thank goodness."

"So it was the plan we proposed for the game project this time. Some advertising concepts are tailored to the channel to be used and the things we need. Next I leave it to the Creative Director, thank you," Kenzo concluded his presentation and sat down again.
"We're running according to plan. Please make sure all Teams pay attention to points that will be obstacles. Minimize the error as much as possible and keep reporting the progress to me, Understand!" Calya closed the meeting after everyone responded to her sentence. One by one people left the room. "Cal! Let's have lunch!" Qeiza instantly pulled Calya as soon as the woman walked out of the meeting room.
"So?" qeiza asked, either pretended or did not understand. "Your mood!" calya said, still maintaining her position. "Ooo.. That's.. Well, let's just say yesterday there was a storm" replied Qeiza casually. "So the storm's gone?" ask Calya again. Qeiza nodded. Her sweet smile brushed, making her chubby cheeks visible.
Drrt.. Drrt..
Qeiza retrieved her phone from inside the bag. The two eyebrows of the woman were raised after seeing her phone. "From who?" calya asked after seeing the look on her friend's face that had changed. "Not from anyone!" answer Qeiza instantly. "Then why is your expression like that?" Qeiza smiled back. "There's a discount bag tonight at the mall."
"That's all?" Calya is still suspicious.
"Of course! You know how much I love bags!"

7.45 Nights in one of the malls, Qeiza was walking leisurely. The blue shirt made the woman look elegant, plus the unraveled brown hair sweetened her face. Qeiza stopped in front of an ice cream shop where a man was standing there. The man who was playing the phone immediately stopped when he realized the presence of Qeiza there. "Come too" said Damian.
Back in time Qeiza and Calya were enjoying lunch and Qeiza's phone rang. A message he received showed Damian's name there. Qeiza was shocked, but she managed to control her expression back. Calya's sudden question finally made her have to lie. He had not been able to tell all the things involving Damian to his friend. It would be very strange if she suddenly told him that the man was contacting her for dinner together.
"It's not 8 o'clock yet, which means I'm not too late" said Qeiza, looking relaxed. "Right as well," Damian noticed Qeiza's appearance. The woman looks attractive in her eyes, but her attention is distracted when she realizes the direction of the woman's gaze. Not in his direction but through it, a shop behind him. Damian observed the shop, where many bags were sold. "There's still a few minutes, right? Can you wait here for a minute?"
Damian was speechless as Qeiza walked through her. The woman completely abandoned her without explaining anything. Fortunately, just a few minutes later, Qeiza returned. The woman carried a medium-sized paper bag with her. "You go shopping?" ask Damian. "Why? There's no agreement that I can't buy anything, and I'm using my own money."
"You should treat me today, remember?" Qeiza nodded her head. "What do you want to eat?" Damian seemed to think for a moment, then gave an answer using his facial movements. "Es cream?" qeiza asked, Damian nodded. "You're asking me to buy you an escrim?" Damian smiled before speaking back "At least if you want to thank me, do it sincerely. How can you hope to buy food immediately finished."
'Haaahh..' Qeiza sighed while ordering the escrim. 'Is he playing with me now? It seems like he's already planning it.'
Qeiza stopped thinking as the waiter gave her two ice cream orders. The woman walks out of the store, gives Damian one ice cream. "It's the ice cream!" Damian's enjoying his ice cream. Meanwhile, Qeiza looked at the man suspiciously. "What more do you want?" ask Qeiza. "I'll think about it after I finish eating ice cream" Damian replied casually.
"What are you two doing here?" the voice of a woman stopped the steps of Qeiza and Damian. Qeiza was shocked the moment she saw the owner of the voice. Calya who was standing not far from them was staring at him. Made Qeiza feel like she was being caught off guard.
"Damians!"
"Ray! You two come here!"
Damian's words made Calya aware, now the woman also looks awkward with her togetherness and Ray who is seen by Damian and Qeiza.
