Love In The Hatred
Face to Face

Leon started driving his car. Every now and then he glanced at Sela who was already sitting beside him. These hardworking women look prettier than the last time they met.

"Sorry yesterday I couldn't pick you up at the airport. Lately I've been more busy taking care of work at the office." Leon broke the silence, before they had agreed not to talk too formally while outside the office.

"No problem. It should be me who apologizes for being troublesome, you have sent the driver and also prepared the apartment for my residence."

"That's my responsibility. I asked that you be transferred to my company, so I cannot escape my responsibility. I hope you stay in that apartment."

Leon was still focused on measuring the path, he did not see Sela's face had turned moody.

Sela seemed to think, before she felt at home living in the apartment. But, since seeing Mark there the atmosphere of the apartment feels creepy. What if Mark catches him?

Last night he could not sleep well, afraid that Mark might suddenly come and finish him without mercy.

"Ehmm, actually that place is too fancy for me. Is there no other place?"

"Didn't women like luxury?" Leon looked over and laughed. "I mean, there the facilities and security are complete so it's safe for you." Leon turned the swerving steering wheel into the restaurant area.

"Alright.." resigned Sela. "May I ask?" sela asked hesitantly, she was afraid that Leon would be distracted by her question.

"Whatever you want to know," Leon replied, opening his seatbelt.

"Why change secretary? I mean, aren't there more competent secretaries here than I am?"

Leon looked at Sela's face and said, "He's a traitor! Betrayed by selling important company information to my rivals. Until I suffered a huge loss and almost went bankrupt." Leon's face looked gloomy, his hands clenched on the steering wheel.

Sela surprised. "Why would he do that?"

"Because of money! The woman was money crazy and thirsty for power, she was promised to earn a lot of money and rise to office when joining another company and yes, I was fooled!"

Sela doesn't think anyone would betray Leon. He thinks this guy is very good.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Sela simpti seemed to feel the feelings experienced by Leon.

Leon smile. "It's all gone and I hope you never think of doing the same."

"Just relax, you can trust me. I will not betray" Sela replied.

The most delicious seafood restaurant became the first lunch spot Leon and Sela. This place is never empty of visitors, even luxury cars are neatly lined up. The strategic location and close to office buildings are increasingly the choice of many people.

Sela and Leon were already sitting face to face, the food they ordered was already served on the table.

"It seems like our schedule this week is very busy, are you ready to work hard, Sela?" ask Leon while eating his food.

"Do you doubt me? I'm even tougher than you think" Sela joked.

"Hmmm I didn't choose you wrong." Pointing Sela with a fork in hand. Both are laughing.

Doors made of glass are wide open. Two men in black clothes began to walk up to the restaurant floor.

Mark's footsteps came to a halt when he accidentally saw Leon joking with a woman. Her eyelids barely blinked looking at the woman sitting on her back at the door.

"Isn't that Leon?" his curiosity suddenly appeared. Before, it was never like this. "Who is that woman?"

"Maybe he's the new secretary, sir," replied Ozan, who always accompanied Mark.

"Master sure?" Ozan shook his head, astonished that Mark never changed, loved betting and would not stop before his opponent gave up.

"Huh, let's see, which woman could resist Mark?" Mark moved his foot toward Leon's desk. The sound of laughter grew clearer in his ears until he stood right behind the black and long haired woman.

"It seems I came at an inopportune time. Am I bothering you?" Mark smiled ridiculing Leon. His hand held the backrest of the chair that secretary Leon had occupied.

Leon screeched and leaned back in the chair. Staring intently at the shameless man who always took possession of him, his secretary first, his work projects and his women.

"Go away, don't bother us!" expel Leon. "You have nothing to do with us!"

Mark was unaffected, he saw Ozan standing beside him. "You see him, Ozan? It seems like the lesson I gave you wasn't enough!" trivialize.

"Master Leon wants to repeat history!" timpal Ozan, laughing at Leon.

Leon clenched his hands, if only there was no Sela in front of him, he had finished off this man. Hold it! Leon doesn't want to look deformed in front of Sela.

Don't ask me how Rossela feels. His heart and mind cannot be deceived. His ears and nose are still functioning well. Although his eyes did not see the face of the man standing behind him, but he recognized the voice and scent of this perfume.

Rossela's heart was racing faster. His body felt stiff so he could not move even to turn his head felt heavy. Is this the end of his hiding? Is this the beginning of his suffering? Is Mark going to catch him in front of Leon?

Rossela was between two options, surrender or fight. One thing he realized, the relationship of these men is very bad.

"Sela, we better get out of here!" take Leon. Not yet he stood up, Mark was already holding his shoulder between the lines. "Keep your tag from her, Mark!" hardik Leon's.

Rossela gulped at the sight of the sturdy fingers stuck on her shoulders. Mark prevented him from standing, even his shoulders ached.

Wanting to curry but Rossela was afraid Mark recognized her voice. It is certain that they will face each other soon.

"You're so scared I'm taking this secretary of yours." Mark pulled out a chair and sat between two people who did not want his presence. Uh! Where he cares.

Mark folded his hands on the table and still focused on looking at Leon. These two men are still arguing.

"Originally you know, I never took your secretary! It was precisely that woman who came to sell information and sell herself to me!"

"You've gone too far, Mark! Absolutely shameless!" aspir Leon.

Mark laughs. "You're angry that you haven't had time to enjoy that girl?"

"Young!!!!

"Are you angry that I spoke to your new secretary?"

Mark turned his face to Rossela. Instantly his mouth closed tightly.

Too late! Rossela could not escape anymore. Mark's eyes had already pierced through his bead, this man was fixated on seeing it. For a moment silence was created at the table.

'This eye?' mark's mind began to churn, 'I'm like I've seen him.' For the first time in a long time, his eyes were reluctant to turn and his heart was racing to see the beautiful woman in front of him.

Beautiful eyes, clean white face even without make up. Lips thin and red like chery fruit. Mark's mind recognized her beauty. Why did he feel familiar seeing her?
