My First Night With My Boss
62. What I Didn't Know All This Time

It was only the sound that was heard and only the fragrance of the perfume that was smelled, but it had made Rigel stupid. Thinking that the person he didn't see at all, was the woman he had missed all along. Is it because his mind and heart are always fixed on him, to make him think that the person who passed next to him is Lyra.

There's no day for him not to miss Lyra's figure. Although his heart is very loving and his soul is very eager to meet, Rigel can not find out or go to see him. Because it is not unwilling for Rigel to come to see him, Rigel is only afraid that his meeting will only leave a wound for Lyra and himself. Moreover, Lyra had said, that with Rigel she did not feel happy at all. If indeed the meeting will only end in vain, it is better that Rigel did not see it at all. Even now his father has released him to choose the woman he wants.

Rigel came home in a messy state of his face, not because he was exhausted after exercising. But because he was too disappointed in himself who could not forget Lyra.

Rigel laid his body on the bed. And again, every time he came to his room his eyes were always fixed on the pile of Agni's novels. Last night Rigel had read the cover, and remembered the company that published the novels was a company owned by his friend. Remembering Ryan's words, Rigel laughed. Because if that's why Ryan told Rigel to read his novel just because his close friend lives in London, what's it for. Clearly Rigel's arrival to London was already known to his close friend. Even if Rigel and his friend meet after so long without seeing each other, it does not mean that the wound in the heart caused by his separation from Lyra will heal.

But if you think about it again it's too ridiculous if indeed the reason Ryan just wants to make Rigel remember his close friend who lives in London, moreover, Ryan or Agni do not know close to his friend named Justin. And obviously Ryan and Agni had said to Rigel, so that he would come to see the author, if Rigel had read the novel.

"Justin isn't a writing guy, he's just a guy running a publishing company" Rigel murmured as he watched the novels heaped on the table.

Rigel's reflexes grabbed one of his novels. He took the first novel published by his friend's company. This time Rigel began to actually read the first chapter of Agni's novel.

Agni's novel is just a high school romance novel. Initially not interesting, but there is a piece of the story that makes it interesting to read. A story similar to the story of Rigel and Lyra talking for the first time. And a story similar to Rigel's when he caught Lyra crying in the back yard of the school.

Rigel quickly reads and skips each page, looking for stories about Lyra that Rigel knows. In the first novel to the fourth are only a few stories about boys whose picture is exactly with Rigel, but the story is exactly like Lyra's life. And in the last chapter of the fifth novel Rigel reads, the story is exactly the same as the story of Lyra and Rigel meeting in a nightclub.

To ensure that the author is indeed Lyra, Rigel must continue reading the latest work of the author mentioned Agni is still on the online platform.

Just one chapter of Rigel reading his latest work, Rigel becomes very convinced that the author is Lyra. Because of one chapter, it's all about the story of Lyra and Rigel. And even more convincing is about the heart of Lyra which until now still has room for Rigel. Because in the first chapter, the author explains the story of the main character who missed the man from three years ago.

Rushing Rigel just called Ryan to ask him to come to the apartment.

"Why don't you tell me that the author of Agni's novel is Lyra" Rigel said when Ryan came to his apartment.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid if you don't like it. Because just talking about Lyra alone makes you angry," said Ryan without daring to stare.

Rigel. "So the reason you made me live in this apartment, is because Lyra lives here."

Ryan nodded. "Yes, Lyra lives in this apartment building. More precisely he lives next door to your apartment."

"I thought I was crazy, because I had the chance to smell her perfume and even hear her voice. It turns out that my prejudices were true, if Lyra was in London.

"So, are you interested in meeting him now."

"Why ask others for help. Would you better meet him now."

"He'll definitely avoid me when I come to see him. I have to ask Justin for help to meet him."

Without lingering any longer, Rigel was getting ready to go see Justin in his office. Rigel went out using a hat and a mask to cover his face. So that Lyra would not know if she was in the same city as Lyra. And more precisely so that Lyra does not move residence. Because if Lyra finds out Rigel lives next to her, Lyra could move out of her apartment to avoid Rigel. Last chance for Rigel to get Lyra before Lyra anchors her heart to another man. Not letting Lyra escape, is Rigel's first mission to get Lyra back in her life.

Arriving at Justin's office, his friend immediately shook his head when staring at Rigel's very silly look.

Justin chuckles. "What clothes are you wearing. A rich man like you wears such clothes. Like the man who was being targeted by the police."

"I had to wear it. I don't want to talk much, can you help me to see a writer named Star. And don't mention my name when you ask her to meet me, but just call it that I'm a fan of her book."

Justin furrowed his eyebrows. "Star? She's my girlfriend, Alice. Actually, her real name isn't Star but Lyra."

"Yes I know, so I want him to come see me."

"Do you want to meet him because you like him. If it's true, you can't make it yours, because he can't be in a relationship with any man. There's been a few men Alice and I introduced to, but they've all been rejected."

"Whatchu mean? Why do you introduce him to men. The men you introduced could've touched her." Rigel let out a rough sigh. "Don't introduce him to any man again, what if you recognize him to a jerk."

Justin was astonished at what Rigel said. "I don't understand what you're saying. Why are you so worried that a man will touch Lyra. You're so possessive that she's not your lover."

Rigel. "He's my ex-boyfriend. The reason he can't be in a relationship with a man, it must be because of me."

Justin seemed surprised and amazed by the confession of his friend. He did not expect Rigel to be Lyra's ex-lover. However, he still does not believe Rigel's confession, because Justin knows if his friend is a man who always plays women. Because Rigel could lie to get the next woman to play with.

"I know your attitude to play tricks on women, because Lyra is a woman that is difficult for you to get. Until you feel challenged to get it." Justin says. "When you're going to change, it's time you had a serious relationship with a woman."

Instantly Rigel crossed the table while staring at his friend. "My reason can't be anchored to any woman is because of her. And the reason he's the same as me. I haven't played any woman in four years. Have you never heard from anyone, when I'm no longer playing with women."

The clapping of the palm and the sharp gaze from Rigel finally made Justin feel confident, that Rigel's speech was really serious.

Justin says. "Alright, I'll ask him to come see you."
