First Fuss
"We met briefly when I was about to leave here, Eli. We have met and talked several times since that incident. And it turns out he's a fun interlocutor."
"Obviously it's fun, you know what the profession is, right?" eliana replied while smiling. He's guessing how close Alex and Doctor Livia are right now.
Alex chuckles. "I was willing to wait for him just to say goodbye before leaving here."
"You're waiting for him at practice?" ask Eliana astonished.
Alex is different from Toni who always patiently waits for him. Alex is the type of romantic man but not the type of patient who wants to linger - a long wait just to say goodbye. He was spontaneous and moved. It could have been Alex sending him a message or just calling him.
"Hm-hm. I don't know why I'm happy to see his face seriously working. It looks more beautiful."
"Wow! Waw! I saw something springing up here." seduced Eliana with a cheerful laugh.
She's happy Alex is getting close to Doctor Livia. Regardless of the case in Chandelier, Doctor Livia is a kind and understanding woman.
"Sadly he's Toni's friend." Alex complained.
"Why is that Toni's friend?"
"That means he's older than me by a year."
"Halaah... What does one year mean, right? Just go on, Al. I think you're better suited to a woman who's more mature than you, Al." Eliana's support for Alex.
He knows how Alex is silent - silent longing for a mother's affection. All around him were men, and he almost never felt the tenderness of a woman's love.
Alex laughed again, embarrassed and happy to pour out his heart to Eliana. She felt like she had an older sister and a mother in Eliana's figure.
But sometimes what is seen in the eye, unlike what actually happens.
Alex's arrival slightly disturbs Toni and Eliana's relationship. Toni is unable to control her feelings of jealousy, each time she sees Eliana and Alex talking.
Especially when he saw Alex and Eliana were relaxing on the terrace and chatting casually. Toni happens to come out of the living room about to grab a drink in the kitchen and accidentally steals their conversation.
He peered from the kitchen window, flowers in the garden bloomed, the breeze - sepoi and the sun was impressed friendly. The atmosphere outside looked beautiful with a pair of men and women sitting on a park bench. There was a plate of snacks and two cups of tea on the small table. They look so comfortable with each other.
Toni could only exhale as she looked at all of that. He knew Eliana could not have any feelings for Alex but there was still a feeling of being pushed aside every time he saw the two of them chatting casually.
Though earlier he decided not to go anywhere because he did not want to ruin the atmosphere by taking Alex to walk with them. But it turns out, at home his mood is getting worse.
Especially at this time he is busy organizing his work, trying to all go well. Their work or vacation, without disturbing the comfort of his wife. But, his wife even chatted to and fro with another man.
Eliana's crisp laughter interspersed with Alex's heavy chuckling made Toni's heart quiver with jealousy. How do I get rid of this uninvited guest from here? He really can't stand it, but only a day Alex here.
Not wanting to see the 'romantic' scene for longer, Toni hurriedly returned to the living room and cleaned up the items scattered in the living room. Then he walked into his study and there he called Grandpa.
"Why did Grandpa tell Alex to come here?" toni protested as soon as she heard Grandpa's voice greeting. He even forgot to say hello because it was too emotional.
"Hi, how's your vacation going?" Grandpa asked back.
"Bad!" answer Toni ketus.
"O'yeah?" If only he could, Mr. Peterson would have wanted to fly straight after his grandchildren. But his age and energy are already limited, making him prefer to work alone rather than travel far which is risky for his health.
After all, the company still needs itself to monitor the crucials and be an advisor to Toni and Alex.
"Sorry, Toni. Grandpa didn't get to discuss it with you first. But don't worry, Alex is like a sister to Eliana."
Okay... sister and sister! So no need to worry because Alex and Eliana's relationship is only a brother and sister?
Hellooo, how are you and Eliana? Eliana used to refer to him as her sister and they were determined to live together as brothers, sisters. The reality? They are now husband and wife. It seems like Grandpa forgot about that fact.
Toni tried hard to hide her anxiety. Unwilling to argue at length, Toni thanked Grandpa for his concern and hung up the phone. He forgot to ask the main reason Alex was sent to this place.
Goddamnit! Instead of being calm after calling Grandpa, his mind was even more chaotic.
The knock on the door made Toni return to reality, throwing away the sounds that raged in her mind. He looked and exclaimed. "Come in!"
Slowly the door opened, Eliana's head appeared with a wide smile engraved on her face. "It's busy, Toni?" ask Eliana softly.
After a call from Grandpa, Eliana increasingly strives to understand Toni's life as CEO. In the future, maybe Toni's attention will be poured at work and not just to him.
Sensing Toni's distinct tone of voice, Eliana's eyebrows shot up.
While Toni melengos, do not want Eliana to be able to read her feelings that are urgency.
Sensing Toni's mood swings, Eliana closed the door and entered the room. While forget for a moment his intention to tell me about Doctor Livia and Alex.
"What's up, Toni?" ask Eliana. His hands stretched out to stroke Toni's arm. But her husband avoided.
"Toni?"
"Nothing - what. I'm busy."
Eliana was stunned, Toni's voice sounded unfriendly. He was asked, saying he was not busy. There hasn't been a minute, I've said he's busy.
Eliana sighed. "I'm sorry, I've been bothering you" Eliana said and immediately turned around and was about to get out.
"Not where - where! Stay here with me!" toni's orders were firm.
Ha's?
Eliana looked at Toni's face that looked tense. "Toni-"
"Just let Alex do anything here. I don't give a shit. The important thing is you have to stay by my side!" sergeant Toni, before Eliana could say.
Eliana's forehead wrinkled - wrinkled, she's confused.
Eliana could feel Toni's anger, only she was wondering what caused it. Toni greeted him with a ketus, and said that he was busy. And now he told Eliana to stay in the room.
"sorry. I thought you were disturbed that I was here" said Eliana softly. Again - again he chose to give up, not want to make Toni more emotional.
Eliana's words actually make Toni more inflamed. "Since when do I object to your presence? Or don't - don't you prefer talking to Alex than accompanying me?" accuse Toni to Eliana.
Eliana surprised. "God... Toni... "
"Eleila... " Toni looked at Eliana deeply, his face dark as if it was almost raining.
Eliana immediately closed her mouth as soon as she saw Toni's expression.
"If it wasn't for Grandpa's orders, I'd have kicked him out of here." Toni exclaimed with her index finger pointed up. "At least I appreciate Grandpa being worried about you. He is my brother, but he is also a boy. And he liked you once. I don't like any other guy living in my house."
Eliana was silent for a moment, letting Toni vent all her frustration. Usually someone is easier to talk to when there are no more emotions surrounding him.
Before long Eliana began to move towards Toni. Trying to ease the anger mixed with jealousy that raged in her husband's heart.
"Toni, Grandpa means good. I understand his purpose... "
"I can still hire twenty or fifty bodyguards for you, Eliana. Not a man who has ever liked you!"
"Are you jealous of Toni?" eliana asked with a smile. The other hand is circular on Toni's arm, while the other hand rubs Toni's chest.
Instead of being angry, Eliana just wanted to laugh. Toni is always like this whenever she's jealous of him. He'll be angry - indistinct anger.
'What? Of jealousy?'
Instantly Toni fell silent, aware of her childish behavior. He's throttling. "I'm not jealous, just making sure everything goes on its path."
Eliana can hardly help but laugh, Toni is proud to admit that she is jealous. "Yes, Honey. You're not jealous, but insecure." Eliana said calmly.
Heh?
'Insecure?'
Toni.
Before Toni could respond, Eliana calmly continued. "You just don't feel calm when I'm with Alex. And you're also worried that I'm more comfortable with Alex, who's also treating me well."
"W-what?"
Connect yes....
