Sun Princess & Snow Prince
Episode 10 - Lie For Dream

~ As the princess of the sun walks on the board towards the death of her dreams. ~

Ave walked quickly after Zaid, but the man had already entered his study. As she passed by Jenny, Ave clenched her hands together in front of her chest while pointing at the door. Jenny said nothing, just letting Ave knock on Zaid's office door.

There's no answer. But Ave knew he couldn't wait. So the girl entered Zaid's study slowly. Take a peek before entering.

Zaid wasn't sitting in his chair. The man sat on the sofa while folding his hands in front of his chest. The suit he was wearing was taken off and draped on the back of another sofa just like that. His face and hair still looked moist, it seemed like Zaid had just washed his face. But Ave could still see Zaid's dead-red face with his lips curled downwards. His dark eyes glanced at Ave as if he was throwing a knife.

Ave was afraid to see it. But he couldn't let his dream just float away.

"Maa. sorry, sir. But you misunderstood, so... " In stammering, Ave tried to explain. His conjecture was wrong, facing Zaid was not as easy as he expected. This man's heart was really ice-cold.

"What else?" ask Zaid coldly.

Ave is getting closer. "Mas... Mr. Ajie is like my best friend, sir. His wife... " Ave hesitates to continue the lie, while worrying about being discovered. "His wife Mas uh Mr. Ajie is my best friend. She's pregnant and Mr. Ajie left it on me."

Both Ajie's eyebrows shot up. "Tossing his wife? Only friends? Do guys and girls hug each other?"

Why is everyone so sensitive about hugs? There in Sydney, Avelia even saw people kissing in the crowd and everyone behaving 'whatever' without judging them. Now here, he had to tolerate everyone's feelings. Unfortunately, Ave often forgets that. Ajie is his brother, of course it doesn't matter.

But this man in front of him doesn't know about it. If Ave tells him, it's the same as your weapon of eating. It's obvious that Zaid doesn't like Ajie, for whatever reason. Maybe that's why Natasha was so sure the two wouldn't be related. Now Ave saw it for himself. Something's going on between Ajie and Zaid, but Ave can't investigate right now. At least he should be able to escape the charges first, without mentioning the relationship between himself and Ajie.

"That's... " Ave put on a sad and moody face. "I consider it a replacement for my older brother... " Ave covered her face. Trying to hold back his almost broken laughter. He could never hold back his laughter every time he lied.

Seeing Ave cover her face and her shoulders shaking, Zaid's face softened. I thought Ave was holding back tears. He did not expect this jolly girl to have lost her brother.

"really? Are you guys that familiar?" ask Zaid. This time his voice was slower and softer.

Ave raised her head after feeling able to hold back a laugh. He nodded. "You don't believe me, tomorrow I take Mr. Ajie's wife. Please ask him, " said Ave reassuringly. Lily had long urged Ave to take her to her workplace. That woman must be very happy.

"Good! Until you can prove your point, bring whatever you can to prove if your relationship is really just a friend. But if I know you lied to me, no need to resign, you don't have to come to this office again. Understood?"

With goosebumps, Avelia nodded. Just now he was lying, I don't know what when Zaid knew later he could escape the death penalty ala Zaid. This guy really has no heart. It's been frozen for too long so the bujang weathered.

Zaid's hand shook, gesturing Ave out of his study. With a gontai step, Ave came out. Jenny was standing by the door, waiting for him.

"What's the matter, Ve?" ask Jenny.

Ave looked at Jenny glumly. "Ave is cheating, Ma'am. Keep being told to resign. Yeah, panic Ave."

Jenny's mouth formed an O before saying softly, "Sir Zaid hates infidelity, Ve. That's why he looks like you. The staff here all know. Who are you accused of cheating on?"

"Here's Ave's friend, Ma'am. Mr. Zaid saw when Ave met at the cafe."

"Udah, Ma'am. But Mr. Zaid doesn't believe it, so tomorrow Ave has to take his friend Ave to make it clear too. Let Mr. Zaid not misunderstand me anymore."

"Ah yeah, so new right, Ve. Never mind, you calm down! All problems can be solved."

Only Jenny didn't say anything. Just this time he saw his boss meddling in the personal affairs of his employees. Strange but... Jenny shook her head and went back to her own work.

Ave simply nodded lethargicly before sitting in his chair. He put his chin on the table and stared at the screen blankly. By then, Akbar had also arrived. Looking at Ave's style he thought the girl was sick.

"Why are you, Ve? How do you seem to limp? Sick? Want to bring medicine to let the pain disappear?" ask her while offering help.

"Yes Mas, Ave's head hurts," murmured Ave. He tilted his head, looking at Akbar.

"Why pain? Low blood pressure, high blood pressure or stress? If it's just a headache, I can find the cure. The important thing is to know the cause first."

"Can you tell me the cause of the headache?" ask Ave to repeat.

With complete confidence, Akbar nodded.

"That's it, ilangin tuh Boss popsicle inside the tuh! Because he Ave had a headache, anger is not clear mulu," said Ave while pointing towards Zaid's workspace.

A sour grin was seen on Akbar's face. "That one, I gave it up, Ve. I have always wanted to do it, not cross. Yes already Ve.. Enjoy your headache! You are also used to it. I do too."

Taan tuh? Still, Ave can't do anything. Meanwhile Akbar has started to open his laptop while smiling and starting to do his own work. Ave leaned her back against the chair and started sending messages to Lily.

[Ave: My beautiful sister-in-law, tomorrow's lunch in my office can't you?]

[Lily: Really? Can you please?]

[Ave: Yes, Brother. There is a friend I want to know ama lo.]

[Lily: God willing, Love. See you tomorrow!]

Avelia smile. Beres! Tomorrow everything will be clear for Zaid.

While still leaning against the chair, Avelia smiled shyly to herself. How could he think Zaid liked him? Not being fired after arguing with the man alone should make Ave thank you. So he can't think anymore. Not all boss and secretary relationships can be like Ajie and Lily's relationship. Moreover, he was only an intern who could be fired at any time. He's really nobody here. Not a beautiful princess or secretary like Lily. Everyone won't take it.

Especially for that cold-faced handsome prince.

Just as Avelia raised her head, Hazmi passed by while waving her hand at him. Ah yes! This is the real prince. Handsome face, charming smile and pleasant attitude. The ice-hearted prince threw it into the sea already!
