REMEMBER ME?...
The Part 59
The emptiness continued until he arrived in Seoul and reached his office building. The emptiness was even still felt while he was in the basement, as he climbed the elevator and as he reached his office and greeted some of his crew.
“Vano, where is Kia?”
And that void continued whenever someone mentioned that name.
“He will not be present today. Maybe it will follow on the second or third day or not at all. He had a sudden affair that he could not postpone. So, for the designer staff, I hope you know what you're doing because your chief is not around. In addition, everything is running smoothly and in 10 minutes we can leave.” Vano said, sharing an announcement on all the ears that were there.
The staff and crew nodded in understanding and began to move around to prepare for their trip to Daejeon. Meanwhile, the designer staff began to move busier than usual. Maybe they should talk about their strategy or even determine who the interim chairman on their usual team is one way out— and seeing that, Vano doesn't want to know what happened. He just hopes everything can be perfect.
“Oh yes, where is Brian wiajaya?” ask Vano who never found the high figure of his friend in the past anywhere.
Some of the crew answered his question with a head bob and others put their shoulders down.
“I'm here!” a voice came from the entrance.
Hearing Brian's voice, Vano felt a little relieved that at least the man had been here. However, as he turned his eyes instantly rounded as soon as he saw another figure behind the man, the figure of a woman who should not be here because she was not a member of his team. A woman who last night dominated her nightmares, but usually she ruled her beautiful dreams Windy.
It seems that all the crew were also aware of Windy's presence because shortly after Brian's voice, there was a fuss behind Vano. The man then pointed straight at Windy's face, then asked what everyone in the room was thinking,
“For....what is he here?”
Brian was planning to arrive early this morning when he suddenly received a call from a number he did not know. In a slight hurry because he was wearing shoes, the man put his phone on the table, answered the incoming phone while installing speaker phone mode.
“Halo?” greet Brian while tying his shoelaces.
“Halooo!”
Brian stopped his body movements and was stunned for a moment. The man's hand then took his phone and pointed it closer to his face as if it would help convince him that the person he was calling was someone he was thinking about.
“Wi.... Windy?”
“Hm. It's me.”
The man gulped his saliva, feeling suddenly nervous for no reason. “What's up?”
“Are you busy today?”
“Yah.. Up to the next two days, I am indeed a little busy due to the busy shooting schedule. What's wrong?”
“Begini. Can I come with you?”
“Where to go? To the shooting location, you mean?”
“Hm! I.. I will do anything that can help you there! I won't be a hassle, I promise!”
“But I haven't asked Vano's permission to bring outsiders to the location. And the location is quite extreme. You know Gyeryongsan Daejeon? With temperatures like this, the place must be filled with snow and the wild is too dangerous for you. We will also stay there for the next two days. Do you still want to come?” ask Brian, trying to convince. It was not that he was scaring Windy or resisting the girl's wishes, but that he was just worried. Moreover, he did not know how Vano would respond if he brought the girl to the location.
“For Vano, I can handle it. Oh Gyeryongsan? The famous mountain? I have wanted to go there for a long time! Let me come, will ya? For a hotel or inn, I'll take care of it myself, you don't have to worry! Let me come with ”
Brian was silent for a moment, thinking about his decision to allow or deny Windy's arrival with him. If the girl had spoken like that, what more reason could she have made? For the matter of Vano's permission, he believes himself and Windy can handle it because in fact Windy also knows Windy. After all, maybe his team also needs more professional Windy experience.

Windy understood that Vano did not mean to be rude to him by asking that question, he only asked a general question that should be asked of him as an outsider who suddenly came.
But the girl felt uncomfortable at Vano's gaze. I don't know since when, but the girl realized that Vano's gaze on her was no longer the same. That man is not the same man he met in America.
And to be honest, Vano did feel uncomfortable with the arrival of Windy. Especially when there is no Kiara around. The girl's words last night were enough to make her put a vigilant warning on her head.
“Do I still have a chance?”
“If you keep quiet, I will think of it as ‘iya’, Vano Alexander.”
“I don't care who your fiance will be. As long as you don't like it but can't escape it, I won't let you go either.”
Inevitably, hearing such words, who would not feel fear? Vano has known Windy for years. The man knew the girl's good and bad qualities. And he also knows, that sometimes, Windy can act recklessly. And the arrival of the girl this time inevitably made her prejudiced. Maybe Windy's up to something.
“Dia—“
“I came of my own desire.” Windy cuts off Brian's words trying to defend him.
“I asked Brian so I could come because I was tired of being at home all day, moreover my time is still pretty much here. And I think I can help you out there a little bit. Maybe in the design or stylist?”
“Sorry Windy, but our team is complete.” Vano.
Hearing the word ‘complete’, it seems that other members of his team are starting to be sensitive. Yes, they are incomplete because there is no presence of Kiara there.
And it seems that his team members have a disagreement with Vano about Windy's presence.
While Vano tries to deny the girl's presence and indirectly tells her to return home, the rest of her team think that Windy's presence seems good to them.
In addition to the experience modeled Windy which is certainly very senior, Windy also they think can help them, especially the members of the designer team.
“Hm? I heard a member of your team denied you.” Windy. The girl pulled one end of her lips up.
“O-oh. You're not one of our team members—“
“But I think the arrival is quite good, Vano "Suddenly the figure of the manager who appeared and walked up to Vano.
“Windy can help you on the designer team. I heard Kiara was unable to attend during the photo shoot there. Are you sure the shoot will go smoothly without the presence of the head of one of the teams?”
Vano glanced at Manager Yang at a glance. “But I'm sure the designer team is already anticipating this. They definitely have a backup leader, don't they?”
“Actually... we haven't decided yet, Vano " Sahut one of the members of the designer team.
Vano. When he turned to look at Windy, the girl had a triumphant smile upon learning that there was no reason for Vano to refuse. In the end Vano gave up. The man then moved sideways, making way for Brian and Windy.
“Alright, just for this time.” Pasrah.
