"I don't want to talk about romance. I just want to focus on running the business." Lilia refused to say the truth.
Jake's speechless. He looked at the other side of Lilia which left him stunned. It was unexpected that Lilia would cover this up before him. Jake also realizes that Lilia is not like Lea who likes to indulge in personal things to find sympathetic others.
"alright. I'm just making sure. The answer is, I already know before you say it," said Jake.
Sontak Lilia looked towards Jake. "So?!"
Jake nodded. He held Lilia's hand. "Let me fix everything" Jake's plea that made the tremors in Lilia's heart come to life.
Jake ....
Lilia doesn't believe Jake's gonna be serious about her. For Lilia, it was impossible for Jake to pick her up after what happened at the office that time. As for Jake, just being accepted by his presence has made his heart happy. Especially until he can see Lilia directly. Jake's happy.
Jake realized how big of a mistake he had made at that time towards Lilia. He also hates himself. But he knew that lamenting was of no use. So he wants to fix everything. Jake is confident that what he has will make Lilia happy. Because all this time their relationship only hit the agreement.
Jake feels back the vibe of life that he hasn't really been exposed to. Jake promises to fix everything that's going on. He would not waste Lilia anymore. He would try to understand Lilia's wishes without needing to say. The breakup really made him regret and wanted to get better soon.
Lilia, I'm sorry I had to be sneaky to get you back.
That time...
Smith and Jake sat together on the living room couch. Both were served warm tea by Lara. Jake immediately began his conversation.
"It seems that your arrival has brought good news to me, Mr. Smith." Jake guessed. He turned on his cigarette butt.
Smith sipped the tea served. "I didn't think my son would come to see you. Did something happen to your conversation?" Smith wanted to know.
Jake smiled knot. "Just calm. Everything is safe under control. Looks like you've also managed to get the action going" Jake told Smith.
"I hope that what I did could make amends for my son. I've returned your cat." Smith stated.
Jake's puffing his cigarette smoke. "You can hold my words, Mr. Smith. I won't bother him anymore. You just calm down." Jake smiled happily.
Secretly unbeknownst to Alexander, Smith went to Alexander's corporate relations and discussed profitable projects. Alexander's old relations began to arrive and busy Alexander some days. So that he no longer had time to meet Lilia. Alexander was deliberately kept busy by his father. With help from Jake, too. They secretly arranged the scenario so that Alexander would not pay attention to Lilia.
Of course they managed to do that. Not without reason, Smith did. He knows he is old. It's impossible to protect Alexander forever. That's why he moved quickly to get Jake back. Because according to Smith, only in that way he can live a quiet life without being haunted by the anxiety of Jake's actions in the future. Because after all Smith knows Jake's true behavior.
