LOVATY 1.0
Fair-spoken

Excuse me!”

Calya spoke while raising her tone when she never got a response from the man in front of her, and Arion finally looked at her.

“What?”

The woman re-created the emotion of hearing Arion's response. Instead of answering the question, the man asked the question. Whether the fact that the man ignored her or did not hear her, both of them were equally annoying to him.

Calya resuscitated her back on the back of the chair. His eyes stared intently at the man even though he was trying to keep his emotions stable.

"Is this how you treat a guest?"

"Guests? Of course not, if the guest came with a clear purpose!"

"Are you asking the purpose of the guest in this way - interrogation-like?"

"A few minutes ago I asked you politely?!"

"Courtesy manners? Haha.. Funny thing it's the thing I doubt about you, Miss Calya."

"What do you mean?"

"Is your act of deliberately standing quietly outside the room to eavesdrop on my personal matters including manners?"

"That's not something intentional, Mr. Arion!"

"You mean being in the same restaurant and standing right outside my room that was a coincidence, you want me to believe it?"

"That's a fact."

Arion laughed sinisterly after hearing the stubborn answer spoken by Calya. Obviously he did not trust the woman, for him this had happened often. Enough to make him draw conclusions.

"Just say, what do you want?"

"What?"

"Money, jewelry, car or house. Just mention it."

"What are you really doing?"

"Taking advantage of someone else's personal problems, isn't that your goal?"

"I?"

Calya tried to digest the meaning of the words of the man in front of her. But none of the man's words entered the depths of his logic.

"Look easy. You're not the first."

"alright. Then I'll be the first to do this. Please leave this place!"

"What?"

"Go from here. Now!"

"Aren't you too brave Miss Calya? I need to remind you my position as a client, every word I say to your boss can affect your career."

"You mean you can make me lose my job?"

"Of course."

"Then don't bother telling and doing as you please!"

"Either you have great people connections or you're too reckless to act like this?"

"It's none of your business!"

"Ario!"

Damian's voice stopped Arion and Calya's long argument. He and Qeiza immediately rushed to the Creative Department once Arion's message was there. As part of the Account Executive, it has become his duty to be a liaison between the company and clients, let alone new clients such as Arion.

"Damian," Arion greeted the man back with a smile.

"OMG is handsome" said Qeiza unknowingly. The woman was also unaware that Damian was currently looking at her because of her words just now.

"You should have called me before you got here, thankfully I was in the office."

"Because there's business around here, I think it's better to just come."

"So how? What can we help you with? Or maybe you've spoken directly to Calya?"

"No, not yet. I did talk some things to Miss Calya just now, some interesting things."

"Is that something interesting?"

Arion looked towards Calya, showing her thin smile. While Calya, still put on her cold face.

"Of course I'll tell you. But before I can meet Miss?"

Arion realized the existence of Qeiza who had been standing still in between when that person. He extended his hand right towards Qeiza.

"I'm Arion from.."

"Radhika Group. I am Qeiza, Art Director here," Qeiza shook Arion's hand with a sweet smile.

"Of course knowing the progress of the project is important to me."

"Then we can talk further in the meeting room."

Damian prepares Arion to walk and signals Calya to follow them. Calya picked up some stuff on the table, then the qeiza approached her.

"Cal, may I come with you?" qeiza said softly.

"Come with me," Calya brought a few items and took Qeiza's hand to come with her.

"Don't you have a lot of work, Qeiza?" damian said as the two women entered the meeting room.

"Qeiza will help me explain a few things. Of course that has to do with the project." The last sentence Calya said with great emphasis, the sentence was interpreted differently by the two men there.

The four people casually discussed about the development of their project. Sometimes Arion asks and will be explained alternately by Calya and Qeiza. While Damian acts as a moderator there, even so they are only discussing professionally.

“I want to meet directly with the Influencers of the Game,” said Arion.

“If I am not mistaken yesterday you said agree with the list we made?” ask Calya.

“Indeed, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't meet them in person right?”

“Of course. We will set the schedule and contact you later,” Damian added.

“Alright then. I'll wait for news from you,” Arion stood up followed by other people's activities. Before leaving the room he shook Damian's hand.

“Until we meet again Miss Calya.”

The words that Arion spoke sounded like ridicule rather than manners in Calya's ears. The woman did not even reply to her client's sentence just now, even with just a smile.

...***...

Calya slammed her bag on the couch, just as she arrived at her house. Today was bad enough for him that he did not want to spend more time there, even though working overtime was like a routine for him.

The woman closed her eyes, before a few seconds later she cried out in frustration. He looked for his transparent glasses, put them on and opened the LOVATY app.

“YOU THINK YOU'RE WHO!”

“ARE YOU THAT IMPORTANT, UNTIL I HAVE TO BOTHER - BOTHER FOLLOWING YOU?”

“DON'T KIDDING! MY LIFE WAS TOO BUSY LONG BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL. NO ROOM FOR YOU!”

“What is this?”

Keanu's always-flat face bolts appeared there. I don't know if an artificial intelligence can feel confused, but at least he has the ability to read the emotions of Calya.

“You're mad at me?”

“IYA.. no. arrgghh DON'T KNOW!”

“What happened to you? Is something bothering you? Who's bothering you?”

“KAU!! Why do you have to have that face? Why does he have to have this face? WHY?”

“Who is that?”

“Do not ask. I don't want to remember that guy!”

“And don't say ‘His words express feelings can make you better’ me this time!”

Calya one step faster stopped Keanu before the sentence came out of her mouth. Calya has memorized, that's what Keanu is like.

“So I have to what?”

“Your job is to make me forget about this matter!” Calya leaned her head with a handkerchief covering her eyes, letting herself focus on Keanu's voice.

“Good. Since you were just talking about faces, do you know what Doppelganger is called?”

“Doppelganger? People who are like identical twins but not brothers?”

“True. Many people in the world have found their twin. Some say that each face can have seven different people. There are also those who say that seeing doppelganger is a bad sign.”.

“Why is the sign of bad news?”

“They say it signifies an illness or death.”

“What? How strange. Then?”

“Some researchers argue that seeing doppelgangers is a sign of Schizophrenia disease, especially if only we can see it. So if you..”.

“If you what?”

“Keanu?”

“Keanu!”

Keanu's figure is not visible there, Calya immediately took the phone and turned out to be out of power. The woman finally got up towards the room to connect it with the charger. As he sat in front of the mirror, his eyes began to move wildly looking at the reflection of himself and his surroundings.

“What was that just?”
