Not long after, Benjamin dropped Autumn off in front of a beach house he owned. The house looks luxurious and has many glass windows. Autumn was glued for a moment. "This is your house?" ask the girl.

"I won't take you to another man's house, Miss," Benjamin said, leading Autumn to enter his house. This time, Autumn complied with the man without much protest.

The comfortable atmosphere was so felt inside the house. Everything inside Benjamin's beach house was so nicely arranged. Autumn stood glued and swept every corner of the room with her beautiful gray eyes. He put his coat and bag on the sofa. Autumn then looks at the watch on the left wrist. Time has already shown the ten-thirty-night blow. The girl complained slowly.

"Let me drive home" said Benjamin, who appeared from the other room of the house. Apparently, he just took the car keys. Autumn looked agitated at the time. This made Benjamin astonished. "Is there a problem, Miss?" asked the man while looking closely at Autumn.

"My door was locked at ten o'clock in the night" Autumn replied with a strange feeling.

"Then?" benjamin asked his forehead.

"I'll sleep on the porch. Yes, it should be like that" Autumn explained. He grabbed his coat and bag. Benjamin could only breathe slowly. He threw the car keys on the table. Autumn put down her coat and bag. His face still looks agitated.

"Let's find the wind" Benjamin asked. The man stepped into the outside of the house. There is an opening with a set of sofas that look very comfortable. However, Benjamin did not invite Autumn to sit down, instead standing near the guardrail.

"You come here often, Mr Royce?" ask Autumn slowly.

"Yes. Almost every month I come here" Benjamin answered briefly.

"My dad says if you have homes everywhere, maybe all over France" Autumn said. Benjamin just smiled as he muttered softly.

"Do you also have lovers in every different city?" ask Autumn again. Benjamin had not yet answered him, Autumn had again asked, "Are all men like that? He would run away from one woman and approach another, then ignore the other again, and again. Always doing the same," Autumn's tone sounded quite soft at the time.

"That man always ignored me," Autumn replied immediately.

"Who is that guy?" ask Benjamin again.

"You don't know him. Why did I tell you," declined Autumn. The girl then turned around. He leaned part of his body against the guardrail. While Benjamin stood sideways and stared fixedly at the beautiful face of the young girl.

"Is your lover such a foolish man that he simply ignores you?" Benjamin placed his right hand on the guardrail, while his left hand was at the waist.

Autumn turned her head and smiled knot. "It could be because he's too smart, and I'm too stupid" he argued softly.

"Why is that?" Benjamin frowned because he did not understand the meaning of the girl's words. While Autumn looks hesitant to continue her words. He repeatedly bit his lower lip and occasionally played it.

"I, I'm too passive for her" Autumn replied softly. Benjamin looked increasingly curious. "My dear is a photographer. She used to hang out with models, and you know what a model looks like. They always look perfect .. I don't know, but I ...." Autumn did not continue her words.

"What's on your mind? You feel inferior?"

"I'm not a warm girl. I don't know, but suddenly the thought just popped up and treated my disappointment a little bit" Autumn said. He then lowered his face.

Without Autumn guessing, Benjamin suddenly touched and raised his chin slowly. The man then stared fixedly at the face of the girl who was now only a few inches away from her face. "What's cold and how warm are you?" he asked half a whisper, making Autumn instantly fixated with a thumping chest. The girl then shook her head slowly. "I don't know" he answered.

"Do you want to know?" benjamin whispered again, making Autumn more and more misbehavior. The girl did not answer. He just stared at Benjamin's pair of gray eyes that looked completely different back then. "Let's find out the answer" whispered the beautiful man.
