The Choise
Bad News's?

Nothing has changed in these two years in a skyscraper belonging to the George family. No— except someone in it.

Brian had just walked into a room where Niel's cold expression would welcome him as usual. The man who sat in the oversized chair as a superior never smiled again since the departure of the woman he loved. Nathaniel George has returned to the original set-up.

"Here are some photos taken today." A brown envelope was given by Brian to Niel.

There was no over-expression from Niel except for a cynical smile that immediately flashed after opening the envelope and looking at the contents.

"He was very satisfied with that smile every day" he said.

"He did change a lot—" Brian did not continue his words and pursed his lips as soon as the cold gaze highlighted him.

"How are you preparing?" niel asked after throwing the envelope into the corner of the table.

"I've rearranged your schedule and you're having dinner with Carol."

"Hm, go."

After Brian's departure, Niel stared at the other table that someone had once occupied as his personal assistant. It's been a long time, hasn't it? Yeah, well, for Niel it's been a long time. That woman should have had enough fun, right?

"Why are you here, Dad?" Eve follows her father's lazy who takes her to a jewelry store.

Felipe did not reply, but had pointed to one of the necklaces inside a special display case. Necklace of pure white gold with sea blue diamond in a small round design.

"Dad?" The man, without asking for permission, put the necklace on his neck.

"Bir birthday present from me." All this time he had never given anything to Eve as a gift.

"My birthday is not today."

"Yes, but I want to be first."

"The necklace was also made by someone for his daughter" SPG said.

"So you made it yourself?" ask Eve about her father.

"No!" kilah Felipe fast.

"So ..." Eve held back a smile, not intending to tease her father any further. But he was happy if Felipe had designed it himself. The necklace was clearly a piece of jewelry issued by Lavelle's company. Don't think Eve doesn't know.

"Thank you, Dad. I like it."

"Good," he said, turning his face shy. After paying some money, the two browse the mall while holding hands. Eve has not done this for a long time, especially with her own biological father.

"How's Andrew doing?" ask Eve.

"As usual."

"Can you say more specific?" It means don't talk so short!

"Only?"

"Hm. Not having a boyfriend."

"It looks like there's been no development yet" Eve murmured.

"Dad knew my friend Lucia liked Andrew" Eve later revealed.

"Oh. That secretary?" flat Felipe indifferent. Actually not so interested in the love story of his children including Eve herself.

"Yes. Right."." Right."

"So what I saw was wrong." Felipe muttered softly, yet was still heard by Eve.

"See what?"

"The friend you call is kissing your Ni— subordinate ex-boyfriend."

"SO SERIOUSLY?!" peek Eve, "you mean Brian? Lucia and Brian kissing?"

"Yes. I thought it was her boyfriend."

"God ... I've missed a lot of things. Is Lucia okay," Eve said a little worriedly.

Eve apologizes in her heart to Lucia who has never been heard from. What happens to that woman if Lucia's with Brian. Lucia was crazy about Andrew.

Huh ... Eve could only breathe out softly. Also true. For two years he was in exile. There must have been a lot of change from everyone.

"How about—" Eve's lips became confused to continue her sentence.

"Hm?"

"—Niel?" In the end, he wanted to listen to her.

Felipe was silent while looking at her flat even though Eve looked down while playing her finger.

"You really want to know?"

Does he want to know? Yep. He has long held back. Is this going to be bad news or good news for him?

"I'm curious."

"I don't really care, but I heard she's dating someone." That's the glimpse that Felipe heard about Niel. Don't know how the truth is. Felipe doesn't care about news like that.

Eve was immediately glued to her place. His eyes were like heating up and holding a clear liquid. Whoa ... Whatisthis? Why does it feel this sick?

"Eve?"

Thankfully Eve managed to hold back and smiled at her father.

"Let's go home." Eve stepped her foot ahead of Felipe who was twitching.

Secretly Eve touched her chest which was like she was piercing something. Like a wound that is wide open.
