Second Change
Chapter 39's

I followed Della to the cafe opposite the hotel. But it turns out he's not alone.

"Your boyfriend cheated on you?" ask Zio ceplos

"Why can't I be here?" I asked as I pulled up the chair beside Della ignoring her question.

"I drove Della here" he said

I looked at Della for an explanation.

"Sorry Li, we were going to have three breakfasts." Della's eyes spun frantically "But you suddenly canceled. So I went both ways with Brother Zio. Right down the road we cross paths with a blue sports car so we're tailed."

"So your boyfriend cheated on you with his secretary? No wonder, because the closest person is the secretary." Brother Zio chimed in while fixing his seat.

"It's not certain that it's David, brother." I'm offended.

"Over and over again, we match your Instagram photos. Della who didn't get the heart to tell you."

Della was scared. "Certainly Del? That one with Katrine was David?"

"Lia, please. I'm not sure either. You know, I've never seen Brother David's face." elak Della with an expression not up to the heart.

"That sports car has your girlfriend?" kak Zio's question successfully made my empty stomach churn. Stomach acid seems to be starting to go up and I'm nauseous. "Jawab, Lia."

"Yes." I replied quietly almost inaudibly.

Brother Zio flicked his finger and spread his back onto the chair. "If it is clear."

"Li. Don't be sad just yet. You have to make it yourself." Persuade Della to shake my arm.

"What if it's really David and Katrine?" I hold back the crying

"Call your girlfriend now and tell her to share the location." Brother Zio's Order

"Not active." I looked down at the phone screen that read David *heart*.

Heart hurts. Really David? If not David, who's driving the car? Is Katrine really on leave when David is busy? How could David handle that much work without Katrine's help? If not David, where is he now? Why turn off the phone? Why embrace Katrine's waist? Why go to the hotel?

Brother Zio put forward a crazy idea.

The three of us sat in the lobby of the hotel closest to the elevator. With this close distance, it was certain to be able to clearly see every face that came out of the elevator. Della with trembling hands called Katrine's number on my phone. Not until the third ringing has been heard Katrine's voice. Della in a panicked voice asked for help if I suddenly fell unconscious and convulsed. A panicked voice also rang out from across the street, along with a faint male voice calling my name. A second after Della disconnects the call, they both look at me asking for answers because they both hear a male voice.

"I don't know." Didn't the men's voices all sound similar. Especially across the phone and vaguely.

Next, we looked at the elevator. Waiting for the panicked figure that was about to come out of that iron door.

Five minutes passed. As long as it's my heart forcing it out of my skin. My acid-filled stomach was also constantly churning and was getting more and more urgent to get out of my esophagus.

Ting.

The elevator door.

The three of us held our breath.

Katrine is wearing a t-shirt and jeans, clothes that were different from this morning came out of the elevator with hasty steps followed by a long stride of a man who also wore a T-shirt and jeans in line with the one in Katrine. I rise from my hiding place and call Katrine.

My tears that were held back from earlier just came out just like that. Then the stomach acid also breaks through mercilessly. I shut my mouth as a last line of defense.

"Li, what's wrong with you? Wanna puke?" ask Della to panic.

I broke through the crowd and made it to the toilet. Katrine rubbed my back as I took out the acid that no longer resided in my stomach.

When I finished, I looked at Katrine with my eyes and hugged her. "I'm sorry, Kat."

The five of us sat around the table in the restaurant in the hotel.

"Lia, please please keep it a secret from Father well." please Katrine seriously.

"So, David doesn't know that you're with Randy?" I am relieved to know the truth.

"There are regulations should not be dating in one agency. We broke up many times because of the rules. But we finally couldn't" he explained

"When do you hide it? Have you ever asked David directly?" much

"In front of Lia, the Father was gentle. But when you were with us, you were very firm and intolerant." Randy's dream was serious.

Of course I know David's firm and merciless side. I was also in a phase of fear when I was with him until I actually believed he was going to be killed. My hair stood up remembering the incident at that time. When I was a prisoner of David. Remembering his angry and fiery eyes. His body that seemed to be able to enlarge while being intimidated me was cornered on the wall.

It turns out this is also experienced by Katrine and Randy who almost always with him.

"Given our help several times, we want to continue working. But we can't be separated either. Our relationship is very serious." continued Katrine

"All right, I'll keep your relationship a secret." I promise you sincerely. "But David knows you're not in his car?"

"Father gave me that car as an official car." Randy scratched his head awkwardly. "She doesn't fit him."

"Seriously? Sport car given to you?" asked Brother Zio in disbelief.

"The car was a gift from his father. But you don't feel right because the key was given to me." Randy got up from his chair and demonstrated David's style of throwing keys. "This is you wearing."

Me, Della and Brother Zio looked at each other with their mouths open.

"But by the way why isn't David in touch?"

"Father is bringing some investors into the mine." Randy looked at his watch. "About two hours' land."

"Mine?" I just don't believe it.

Katrine punched Randy in the stomach. "Mr said he wanted to surprise Lia. You forgot?"

"Surprise?" ask again.

***

A baby cry was heard just after I shifted the blue button upwards. On the screen appeared a woman with disheveled shoulder-length hair was soothing her baby by shaking her stuffed brown-haired monkey that could make a sound in her arms.

I laughed without a sound at the sight. I can't believe Emi, who is weak and graceful, can take care of her three-month-old baby. Emi looks very motherly plus overwhelmed. A few seconds later he realized he was in the spotlight, and snatched the phone from David's hand.

"Hello auntie, this is Jeremy." The remnants of tenderness are still heard in Emi's voice. "Jeremy if naughty continues, come home with me just kasi auntie."

"Why am I called out to be Lia auntie." David's protesting voice was clearly heard on the sidelines of Jeremy's whining.

That's how it happened.

Thanks for this amazing surprise, Dave. You must know that I'd be so happy to see the cute baby Emi. Actually I didn't know that Emi was pregnant and gave birth to her first baby. David didn't intentionally not tell me because when the pregnancy news reached David, I was busy preparing for the final exam last year. Then Vivi's problem arose and we went to Japan. Because of that, David forgot to tell me.

I missed the off-campus activities this year because considering the activities last year was very unpleasant. Therefore, I became the sole resident of this dormitory. With the exception of admin. Another person who does not participate in activities outside the campus is Mr. Gil. I got goosebumps when Della told me that she didn't see Mr. Gil in the field just before leaving and asked me to be careful because it was possible that Mr. Gil was after me. It's just me and Della who know. Because I can't stand playing hide-and-seek with Mr. Gil and Della is the only person I trust on this campus.
