Prince Hotel
S2: Starting Drama

Ray's Bar, man,

Louis entered the bar that looks not too crowded with visitors, so it is not too difficult for him to find a petite woman wrapped in a casual dress in red and a little showing the curves of his body.

Louis pulled the high chair in front of the bartender's desk, right next to Ruby's.

"What did you call me here?!" sahut Louis cold.

Ruby smiled, trying to ignore Louis' cold tone, "come on. Consider this our farewell.."

Louis just kept quiet, "give me any non-alcoholic drink"

Ruby looked at the bartender, the bartender nodded.

"Louis.I have given up, you and Vanya are a suitable match.

Louis looked at Ruby's regretful face.

"And I also admit to being wrong for interrupting your relationship." continued Ruby.

"That's it.." said Louis.

"And is it really impossible for us to be good friends?" ask Ruby back.

Louis mute.

Ruby's face turned gloomy, "if you reject her, I won't mind, Louis. I got it"

"I don't know about good friends but if you're just friends, I don't mind" said Louis flat while sipping a drink offered by the bartender earlier, Louis frowned "hey.. You're sure this is not alcoholic?"

"Very sure not, sir.. This is a special drink from our bar specifically for customers who can't drink alcoholic beverages." explained the bartender.

"You sure?"

"Very! we deliberately mix it with a little soda so this drink will taste like an alcoholic drink.." obviously the bartender returned seriously.

Louis again sipped a little of the drink, "hem.lumayan delicious.."

"Thank you, sir.." said the bartender.

Ruby looked at Louis who was so enjoying the drink offered by the bartender, "fine, because you have accepted me as your friend so today I will pay for it" Ruby said.

Louis chuckled, "it doesn't need to be like that, Ruby. I never let the woman pay for it.."

"Oh.please,Louis.. I'm so glad we can be friends again as usual.don't reject me" said Ruby.

Louis mutely, "alright if you insist.."

"Yey.." cried Ruby.

The two chatted with each other like good friends who had not seen each other for a long time. Even Louis was not aware of the vibration of his phone that was beeping since earlier.

Vanya Residence,

Vanya ends her phone, has no idea how many times Vanya contacted Louis and is not picked up. Vanya stared at the cinema ticket in her hand, "it looks like Louis forgot our promise.." said Vanya. Later that afternoon, Vanya had told Louis that she wanted to watch a movie from one of her favorite actors and Louis had even promised to accompany her. So Vanya bought two tickets for him and Louis.

*ting tong*!

The sound of the doorbell surprised Vanya, Vanya ran small towards the door of her house with a smile, "it turns out you didn't forget, Louis!!" he murmured in the heart.

"You're tel-" Vanya silently looked at the man standing in front of her, "you?! How do you know my address?!"

The man laughed "a rude welcome, Miss Vanya.." said the man, his eyes staring at Vanya's stomach which was starting to look slightly enlarged, the pain in his heart deepened.

Without wanting to mince words again, Vanya immediately closed the door until he did not notice if Peter's hand was on the doorstep.

"Ouch!!" peter's groaning in pain.

It made Vanya shocked, he rushed to open the door again and checked Peter's reddened fingers, "Geez.I'm sorry, Peter. Come in, I'll give you medicine" lirih Vanya with a face full of regret.

Peter nodded while holding the finger of his throbbing left hand, Peter stared at the mini-living room of Vanya which was not even wider than the maid's bedroom in their house. Everything was neatly arranged, Peter smiled looking at all the photos neatly displayed on the wall. Peter's smile disappeared when he saw two tiny picture frames located on a small table in the corner of the living room right next to the sofa, the photo between Vanya and Louis and also the photo of USG results that yesterday Vanya got from doctor Kelly. Peter again felt angry, he took a photo of both Vanya with Louis, wanting it to feel like he destroyed the photo until it was not formed.

"Peter?"

Vanya's voice seemed to revive him, "ah.pardon me.. I just looked at your photos and realized that the man who was your lover at the time." said Peter while showing the photo.

"There's no need to feel guilty, Vanya.. I was wrong for not evading immediately"

Vanya opened the topical medicine and thrust it at Peter with a face that still felt guilty as he looked at Peter's fingers that began to swell.

Peter noticed Vanya's eyes, "hey.no need to feel guilty, Vanya... I'm fine.." said Peter "hmm..if you do feel guilty, what about agreeing to go to Beijing?"

Vanya's face changed, "you haven't given up".

"Never give up!" peter's face was grim "Vanya.not because of personal feelings.but, all purely because your performance in the company is very satisfying and that became one of the reasons I was here. as your boss, not anyone.."

Vanya.

"Ask Mr. Zhang.he himself recommended you to me and my papa" continued Peter.

Vanya looked at Peter as if in disbelief.

"Why do I insist on choosing you if you're not competent, isn't it the same as smearing my own face?" continued Peter.

Vanya is silent with a face that looks to ponder Peter's words, Peter secretly smiled with satisfaction.

"Listen to Vanya, I will still wait for your answer in three days, because I will return to Beijing soon. And if you refuse, Mr. Zhang has prepared your successor who has also been prepared. But Vanya, I expect you more." said Peter with a clear face.

*trings*..

Peter's phone notification voice cut off their serious talk.

"Ruby?" Peter mentioned the name that made Vanya turn her face to look at Peter, "what's with him?" peter continued in a soft voice.

"Is there anything important?" ask Vanya.

"Ah.no.just, yeah you also know yourself.. Ruby.he always likes to bother me.." said Peter with a smile and opened a message from his sister.

Peter's originally bright face, turned furious instantly, "a...what?!!!" the strangler is "basic bastard!!"

"What's wrong?" ask Vanya in confusion.

"I'm sorry if it surprises you, Vanya.." Peter thrust out his phone, his screen was filled with a picture of Ruby with a man who was fast asleep and seemed to be undressed. Ruby was smiling in the photo.

Vanya stared fixedly at the face of the man in the photo, the man's face is not too clear because he slept sideways. Peter took back his phone.

"I'm sorry, Vanya, I have to see Ruby.. Many times I have told her to take care of herself, but, look!" peter said with a sigh, he grabbed his car keys. "Thank you for your medicine too, Vanya."

Vanya just smiled wryly, her mind had drifted everywhere, "a..m I may come along?" saith.

"Beijing?"

Vanya shook her head, "to meet Ruby"
