Memory Of Love
Part 12's

At lunch break, Casey chose to eat in the cafeteria, not just accompanied by Lionel. 

After getting approval from Casey, Oscar also sat at the same table with him.

At the time, Casey also forbade Oscar from talking too formally with him, and instead told Oscar to be relaxed, like just being with his other friends.

"Is it possible that you know Steve Dale?" casey asked Oscar, on the sidelines of the conversation, while they were having lunch.

"I have a cousin named Steve" replied Oscar, then seemed to link his eyebrows together. "But is that 'Steve' you mean?" 

"Hm ... Just try!" casey said, asking Oscar to explain about his cousin.

"He's settled in xx country!" Oscar.

"All I know is that he's been getting his Ph.D.s for a few years. So that at this time, he works as a professor at xx university," continued Oscar, again.

"Yes ... He is indeed the person I mean" Casey said, smiling.

"How do you know him? He never came to this country." Oscar looked curious.

"He's my senior at university xxx" Casey replied.

"Wow! ... It turns out you graduated from a prestigious university," said Oscar eagerly. 

"You'll definitely feel even more amazed if you know that Casey graduated with the title of Summa Cum Laude" said Lionel, chiming in, smilingly looking at Casey.

"Lionels...! Don't embarrass me...!" Casey shook his head, then continued to say,

"I used to have personal contact from Steve. But something happened to my phone, so I don't know how to reach her anymore....

... Do you have personal contacts? I have something to talk to him about."

"Hm ... Are you looking for it, because it has something to do with your job?" ask Oscar.

Casey then nodded her head. "Yes ... I'd like to consult him directly."

"I don't have his cell phone number. But I'm gonna ask my parents" Oscar said.

"Now! ... Thank you in advance!" said Casey.

Before the lunch break was over, Oscar was staring more and more at Casey. 

Casey then raised both eyebrows, asking Oscar, without making a sound.

"Hm ... I'm sorry, but I'm really curious" Oscar said.

"What's wrong?" ask Casey, who was curious.

"Don't you feel intimidated, when you become the youngest, then become the chief commissioner?" Oscar hesitated when he asked Casey.

"I don't think so ... Moreover, many support me. One of them is this one!" casey replied, smiling and pointing at Lionel, who was smiling at him.

"Miss Julie Tosch ... He always presses me at work" Oscar said, suddenly.

"I don't want to talk about the bad. But I guess, because she's older than me, and because of her close relationship with the CEO, she used to be rude to me....

... Besides, he's also acting out of his way, against all the R&D team members, who are on average still the same age as me, and some are even younger than me" Oscar continued, with a look of disappointed face.

"How old are you now?" ask Casey, curious.

"Twenty-six," answered Oscar.

"Hm ... Young people have become managers. You should be proud. There is no need to think too much about your boss' behavior, if you think it is a bad thing....

... Just do your job well! If he doesn't respect you, it won't be a big deal. Because if you were incompetent, you would have been fired" Casey said.

"Miss Julie's arrogant attitude, is becoming more and more, after the CEO no longer secretly in touch with her," Oscar said.

"If it was someone else who helped the CEO, then not necessarily she could date him" continued Oscar, as if he was grumbling.

"Ugh? ... Whatchu mean?" casey asked, who was quite surprised by the statement from Oscar.

"My brother told me about it. He said, while they were still at university, Mister Hamilton suffered bullying, until battered and fell unconscious....

... And incidentally, it was Miss Julie who found her first. Then Miss Julie who helped him, immediately dialed the emergency number" replied Oscar.

"Pff.ht...! So that's it? ... Love story, just like in the movies?!" casey said, laughing.

Oscar nodded his head. 

"Yes ... Do you not believe? You can ask it directly to my brother. He works in a government office." 

Oscar, who looked like a child in self-defense, only made Casey laugh with it.

"Yes, yes! I believe in you! ... I laugh because I feel funny. It turns out that such a love story does exist" Casey said, smiling.

***

According to Daniel, at the party he talked about last night, Roberts' group invited some higher-ups from the company, who had a business relationship with Roberts' group.

In addition, some foreign investors who are planned to establish a cooperative relationship with Roberts group, will also be present there.

Daniel will not go to the event, and chose to rest at home only, after a busy work schedule, some time recently.

So in the absence of Daniel, Casey will be the 'face' for Roberts group, at the party later.

Therefore, after returning from the office, Casey had stopped by to shop for suitable dresses and shoes, to wear when going to parties.

Casey wanted to perform as well as possible, in front of the business leaders who would be present at the party, which was held by Roberts group at a place, which had a golf course and a resort.

The original plan from Casey, he would only go there with Lionel, but Daniel then asked, so that Casey could go along with Aaron.

Casey could not refuse Daniel's request.

Before Aaron came to pick her up, Casey was ready, wearing a long, open dress on her back, in the blue of the night.

Casey's makeup was very thin and kept her original face out, and so was her long hair that was loosely severed, covering faintly her back skin.

When Casey was about to leave his room, the housekeeper at his house was seen standing there, and then said, saying,

"Miss! ... You seem to be ready. Mister Hamilton has been waiting for you, downstairs."

"Now! ... I'll be right down" Casey replied, then back into the room, again checking her reflection in the mirror, to make sure she didn't look bad.

On the last rung of the stairs, Aaron was standing there, well dressed, and seemed to be waiting for Casey.

Aaron looked at Casey, from the tip of his hair to the tip of his foot, without saying anything.

"Have you waited a long time?" ask Casey, just.

"Your performance this time was too pushy" said Aaron, with a word that deviated from Casey's question.

"Pff.ht...! Do I look pretty?" sahut Casey, laughing mockingly, and walking past Aaron.

After saying goodbye to Daniel, Casey then immediately left with Aaron.

***

"Quindi sei il successore del Roberts Group? ... Piacere in conoscerti!" 

("So, are you the successor to Roberts Group? ... It's good to see you!")

"YE ... Sono anche felice, perche potrei incontrarti."

("Yes ... I'm also glad to see you.")

"Vi kommer att forka etablera ett gott samarbete med dig."

("We will try to establish a good cooperation with you.")

"Jag vet det ... Och jag ska se till att vi kommer att arbeta tillsammans price."

("I know that ... And I'll make sure that we'll work together for a long time.")

Not long ago Casey arrived at the party, upon the introduction of Daniel's personal assistant, one by one a guest essential to business cooperation, greeting and conversing with Casey.

And although some of the guests, using the language of their respective countries, Casey had no trouble communicating with them.

While chatting with the guests who approached her, Casey held only a champagne glass, without taking a sip of the liquid even just a little.

Aaron, who was standing nearby, seemed to notice Casey's movements, until he whispered in Casey's ear, saying,

"Do you have any bad habits when you're drunk? So you don't dare to touch the— campaign—nya, so as not to damage your image."

"Do you feel that bored, until you feel like teasing me?" Casey raised her glass, and pointed it at Aaron. 

"You can drink until you get drunk. Because I can go home with Lionel later," Casey continued, without burden.

"Signorina ... Vuoi ballare with me?" 

("Miss ... Do you want to dance with me?")

Before Aaron could respond to Casey's words, one of the guests had a conversation with Casey, then invited Casey to dance with him.

Casey agreed to the call from a man from a different country, then danced with him.

While Casey was dancing with one of the guests, every now and then, as Casey could see Aaron, Casey caught something on the man's face.

Aaron, who was looking at Casey and the male guest dancing with him, looked as if Aaron was feeling angry at the time.

Casey doesn't care. 

According to Casey, he did not force Aaron to go with him, so if Aaron was bored at the party, then it was not Casey's fault.

Suddenly, Aaron was seen standing near Casey, then said,

"Mi scusi! ... Voglio ballare with lui."

("Excuse me! ... I want to dance with her.")

Surprisingly enough, as Aaron approaches him, he asks for a chance so he can dance with Casey.

The guest who had been dancing with Casey, then invited Aaron, to take turns with him.

But when the man left, Casey said to Aaron. "I'm tired! ... You can dance with other people!" 

Quickly, Aaron embraced Casey's waist, so as not to be able to walk away from her.

"Don't go anywhere! ... Don't try to embarrass me!" said Aaron.

"What's wrong with you? ... Are you drunk?" casey asked, who just stood still in his place, while looking fixedly at Aaron.

At once, Aaron looked furious, and tightened his embrace, until Casey was completely stuck in his body.

Casey, who did not want to attract the attention of the people there, then followed Aaron's slow dance moves.

Suddenly, Casey felt that Aaron's hands were groping on his back, so Casey was very upset, and then said,

"Take me off! ... Unless you want me to slap you!"

"Try it! ... Didn't that man touch you too? Why aren't you mad at him?" sahut Aaron's.

"Are you kidding me?" ask Casey, in disbelief. "Take me off, now!"

"Honey! ... You are my fiancee" said Aaron, smiling cynically.
