Love, Life, and Jennifer
Grief News...

I gasped as soon as Aoyama greeted me all of a sudden!

"You!!!" Pekikku, then sighed while rubbing the chest.

"Hahaahaha!!! You're this! How's it?"

"Huuffft..." I put on a grim face

Aoyama looked bent in his face.

"W-what happened?" He said with a serious face.

Without waiting for a response from me, Aoyama immediately opened the door of Mr.'s room. Marcell, the guy who interviewed me earlier, but...

When the door opened, it turned out to be Mr. Marcell was about to get out of his room!

"Alright, miss Lie... I've asked one of the employees to take you to your room." Speaks kindly.

Aoyama stared intently at me, and I pointed my 2 fingers in the air, grimacing at her.

************************

"Miss Lie, meet me, I'm Lillian Kohl. But you can call me, Lilly!" Said a friendly white girl to me, then she extended her hand.

"Hi, Lilly... It's good to see you!" I said then welcome his hand with a smile.

"I'm your secretary, so... You can count on me... Ummm... My English isn't very good, miss." Lilly blushed in embarrassment.

I immediately embraced her, and smilingly stared at her pretty, typical German girl face.

"Keen problem! Sie cone Deutsch with mir sprechen, solange... Seien sie nicht so schnell, yes! Ahahaah!!! (No problem! You can speak German to me, just don't be too fast, yeah! Ahhaha"

"Hahaahaha!!!! Okay-okay!" Speak excited!

"Your hum!" Aoyama stood right in front of my door, then approached us.

"Ah, if you'll excuse me, Miss Lie... You can call me if you need anything! Hit the number 2!" He said pointing to the phone on my desk, then passed.

"Waaah... Looks like you've made a new friend!" Aoyama said with a smile.

"Haha! Yeah! First day of work, pretty good!" I said then walk towards my desk.

"Sit down!" I said, inviting Aoyama to sit on the chair opposite my desk.

"Alright, miss Lie!" He then sat down where I asked.

"By the way, what's your position in this company? Looks like you're free to roam as you please?!" I said, then propped up my chin with the back of my hand.

Aoyama looks wrong behavior, then rub his left temple with his fingertips.

"Yummm... Look at..." He said then bring his face closer.

"Yes, what's wrong?" I said bring my face closer.

"But don't tell anyone, yeah!" He said half whispered.

"Hmmm... All righty! What's up?" I said I was getting curious.

"Actually, I'm a special staff!" He said he then sat back down as before.

I widened my eyes in disbelief, then laughed out loud!

"Hahaahaha!!! Where possible!!! Ahahaha!!!"

"Sssssstttt!!! Just you and Mr. Marcell knows this!"

"Well! Really?!" I said, still can't believe it.

"Ckkk! I'm the company's secret staff, part for spying on other companies' technology!" Then!"

"WHAT AAAA!!!"

"Twmhhssssstttt!!!"

"Come on! Don't overdo it like that!"

This can't be trusted! It's totally unbelievable!

*********************

It's been almost 5 months since I worked at this company.

And for 5 months, Young Joon hasn't contacted me at all...

To be honest, there was suspicion in my heart about him, and again... My evil thoughts are always on the relationship between Young Joon and Kimberly Tan!

Sometimes I think, is the expression of love that he almost said every time, true?

Or is it just another language of his apology to me, for all the wounds he inflicted on me?

I don't know!

I even thought, that his good attitude all along towards me, was only to erase my pain over the wounds he had inflicted on my heart?

Yet...

The door to my room suddenly opened...

Aoyama!

Yeah! The child does not know that manners!

Ahahaah!!!

I don't know! But this disrespectful attitude, honestly, is one of my entertainment in the middle of a task that makes my head dizzy!

"Good morning, Miss Lie... Your coffee!" He said, then put the cup containing my favorite milk coffee.

"Haha... Thank you! By the way, is your job done?" I said then grabbing the cup of coffee, then sipping the contents inside.

"Yeah! Sure was! Today's file isn't too much!" He said and sat in the chair in front of my desk.

"You alone, what about your duty?"

"You can see for yourself!" I said while showing a big pile of maps on my desk.

"Why not ask Lilly for help? Isn't she..."

"Hmmm... All righty! Ummmmm... Jenny!"

"Hmmm..." My heart without looking at him.

"What if we had dinner tonight at Uncle Tom's?"

Aoyama's words this time were enough to catch my attention, to turn towards her!

"Oahhhh!!! All righty! What time?!" I said excited.

"I'll pick you up at 7pm tonight!"

"All right!"

************************

At 19:39, Aoyama and I finally got a seat.

Uncle Tom's shop is always filled by visitors who are so fond of processed hands!

In my opinion, Uncle Tom is a reliable 'chef', because he quite mastered a lot of delicious menus from several countries!

That is proven, because the food menu here, not only typical German food!

My favorite German food here is Falscher Hase!

Yup! That food I never miss every time Aoyama and I come here!

Flascher Hase is a typical German food based on minced meat, eggs, flour and onions.

All these ingredients are then mixed and baked.

When it is cooked, then sliced thinly and then served with mashed potatoes or french fries.

Not forgetting the sauce on top.

There is something interesting behind the name Falscher Hase.

This name means fake rabbit. Although it does not use rabbit meat, but because it is shaped like a rabbit's back then it is called that.

Ahhhh! Uncle Tom also provides Indonesian special menu!

Fried rice!

Ahahahahaha!!!

I once asked him directly, when he occasionally serves customers directly in this store, about why the Indonesian menu he provides at his store is only fried rice?

You know, what he answered...

"I thought, only this food can I master easily! Because to serve delicious Indonesian cuisine, it takes hundreds of years, to learn it! Ahahaha!!!"

Ahahaahaha!!!

In my opinion, actually because the spices are rather difficult to get in Germany, so he does not provide other Indonesian menus, or... Maybe it's true what he said. It took hundreds of years to make delicious Indonesian cuisine! Ahahaha!

"If not for the delicacy of the cuisine, it is actually very lazy to eat here!" Complain Aoyama, then eat Flascher Hase.

"Hahaahaha!!! You're right!" My heart, then go eat Flascher Hase.

*******************

At 10 p.m., and I've laid my body on the bed.

Still am! I'm still waiting for a call from Young Joon...

I stared at my phone screen, and opened the photo gallery there.

I looked back at my portrait and that of Young Joon, when we got married...

Huuuff... If you ask, do I regret my decision to divorce Young Joon?

The answer is NO AT ALL!

I am quite a conscientious person, for every decision I make!

And I was...

Suddenly my phone rang...

Clarence's?

We have not communicated for a long time, since the incident in Lombok at that time!

I immediately answered her call...

"Yes, Clare... There's a..."

"Elle... Hix... Hix... Hicks..." That's aunt Margaret's voice! His voice is sobbing across there!

"Yes, bi... What's up?" I said then to sit on the side of the bed.

"Elle... Clarence... Clarence, Elle..." Auntie was so emotional across there.

"Yes, what's wrong with Clarence, bi?"

"My Clarence is now in critical condition... Hix... Hix... Hix... The police shot him..."

"WHATAAA!!!"

What is this?!

What happened to Clarence?!

Why did the police shoot him?!

What criminal acts has the child committed?!

I really know that kid! He will not be able to do anything beyond the limits!

Is it possible that Clarence was the victim of a misfire?!

Or, whether...
