"I don't want to shop, I came to meet Riland. Tell Riland, her fiance wants to meet right now," she said slowly and gracefully, leaving Melisa stunned.
Melisa stood up with incredulous eyes. His lips were slightly open but not a single word came from his mouth because he was too surprised to speak.
"You're Melisa, right ?" Mona asked Melisa who was standing there.
Hearing the question from the woman made Melisa shake her head slowly, regaining her consciousness.
"I-yes, I'm Melisa,"
"Tell 'The hot boss' that Mona, her fiance, wants to meet" Mona repeated her request. He smiled confidently as he said that as if humbling his interlocutor.
"Ah, sure !" Melisa was forced to pull both corners of her lips to curl her unwanted smile.
"Wait, I'll call you" continued Melisa. He also asked the woman named Mona to sit in a waiting chair that is actually intended for visitors who feel tired or just take shopping.
Mona sat on the spot Melisa pointed at with her legs up so that her skirt lifted and showed her smooth legs as white as milk without any stains. He was so confident, and cast an intimidating look at Melisa that the girl felt bad. His feelings are so fucked up.
Melisa walked up the stairs with a feeling of careless footsteps. His mind floated on a woman named Mona. Riland never thought it existed because it turns out he has a fiancee who is so beautiful.
"Wedding, Mel ! Fiancee, not boyfriend," Melisa mocks herself in the heart. He felt foolish to believe that a man so attractive as Riland was still alone and more foolishly he put his heart on him.
"Im so stup*d," maki Melisa was upset. Curse himself.
And the one who should have told Riland about the arrival of his fiancee was Leah so that Melisa would not be tormented like this. But unfortunately Leah was in the toilet and the woman named Mona seemed impatient to meet with Riland.
"Hi, are you ready ?" Riland asked as he looked at Melisa at the end of the stairs. He thought the girl had come to take him away.
It was like Melisa ran to Riland and then gave the man a few punches and asked for an explanation about a woman named Mona. But unfortunately he could not do all that because he had no right.
All he could do was walk closer to Riland as if everything was fine, whereas his heart was broken for some number of times.
"Ri, there's someone who wants to see you. Her name is Mona" said Melisa, who tried her hardest to show herself well.
"Mona ?" Riland asked while furrowing his brows.
"Hu'um said she's your fiancee" Melisa replied in a voice made as calm as possible. And he roared in it.
Riland was stunned to hear what Melisa said. "Mona ? Why did he come here ? Confessing fiancee ?" Many questions revolved around Riland's current mind.
"F !! Why did he come here ?" Riland asked back. The man did not deny it, but rather looked annoyed because the lover disturbed him to work. That's what Melissa had in mind.
"Don't know, miss the same time as her fiance," Melisa replied sounding sniffle.
Then Melisa bowed her head feeling sorry for saying disrespectful to Riland. Although the man did not apply the relationship of boss and employees with formal but still Riland was his superior. Too jealous to make Melisa can not think clearly.
Riland did not answer, he saw how Melisa reacted when saying that and was quite disappointed when Melisa looked ordinary even the girl bowed her head as if she did not want to see it.
"What the hell ? Cepet down ! She's waiting for you" Melisa's misbehaving as Riland just stares without saying a word. The man's jaw tightened, his lips tightly clenched and his eyes flashed sharply. Unlike Riland who is as friendly as ever.
Not much to say anymore, Riland walked past Melisa just like that.
"Iisshh," Melisa clucked irritably not understanding why Riland was acting like that. Suddenly the atmosphere between the two became cold and awkward.
Melisa stood in front of her desk with both hands placed on the table in order to hold her weight. Melisa felt very messed up at this moment.
***
Downstairs, Riland walks up to Mona, who is now busy surrounding Riland's clothing store, looking through the clothes on display.
"Mona" said Riland.
"Hey.., uh.....,"
"Who came here ?" Cut Riland straight to the point.
"Seeing the state of the future husband. Is that wrong ?" Mona replied gently as she walked up to Riland and touched the collar of the man's shirt as if something was wrong there.
"Don't joke ! We have no relationship whatsoever" said Riland lirih. However, he is not a jerk who likes to humiliate women.
"Your absence at our meeting is considered a sign of agreement" Mona said slowly until Riland could digest her words clearly.
"How could that be ? Oh come on, we don't know each other about ourselves at all. And now you have to get engaged ? That's right !!" Riland looked annoyed while the woman commented a sweet smile when she heard it.
"Im fine with that," Mona said with a mischievous smile.
"The hot boss like you... Is my type," he continued again while advancing his face and whispering softly full of asductive in Riland's ear. He even bit his lower lip as he said that. Show Riland if he wants the guy.
Riland frowned, slightly surprised by what Mona did to him.
"So... As long as you're hiding it doesn't matter because we're going to stay engaged and get married,"
"Mona, don't do this. I can't be with you 'cause, '" refused Riland. He almost said that his heart had been tethered to another woman.
Melissa...
Somehow the name of the girl that flashed through Riland's mind, even his face was imagined very clearly.
Riland shook his head trying to pull over and deny what was in his head at this time.
Mona knew Riland was thinking about something but she didn't want to guess. Enough for him to tell Riland that they will be bound to be one no matter what.
"I can't take long, my fiance. After this there are still some photoshoots that I have to do. Don't get too close to Melisa, I'm jealous" Mona said clearly as she kissed Riland's cheek so warmly that it made a noticeable crackle.
Then Mona walked away from Riland who was silent at the place where he stood. Mona smiles gracefully but also sucks at Melisa and Leah who turns out to be behind the display table. The two saw also hearing what Mona and Riland were talking about.
Leah was quite surprised to see it, while Melisa tried to look ordinary let alone her name was mentioned by Mona earlier. "Don't get too close to Melisa, I'm jealous,"
In her deepest heart again Melisa was so chaotic. He should never have proposed the idea of 'The Hot Boss' content because now he himself is trapped in feelings of love that should not be.
"Come, let's go" asked Riland. He is now standing in front of his two employees who are still looking at the departure of a woman named Mona.
"Ri, why didn't you tell me that you already have a fiancee ?" Instead of welcoming Riland's invitation, Leah instead asked about Riland's status.
"Yes, if you know, I can't possibly make "The Hot Boss" content". I'm not feeling this well" said Melisa.
"He's not my fiancee, the story is long" explained Riland.
"Let's go," Riland asked again as he pulled the car keys out of his pocket along with a man who entered the store.
"Are you ready?" Tanya Raya while approaching Melisa.
Riland looked at Raya and Melisa alternately with full question marks ? Didn't Melisa promise to have lunch with him as well as Leah ?
"I thought you were going to go to lunch with your fiancee until I agreed to Raya's invitation," Melisa explained as if knowing what Riland had in mind.
Riland smiled sickly at her, "whatever !" His words rang out as he re-entered the inside of the store to get to his desk. His feelings became chaotic to see the man come again to invite Melisa away. "F*cked up !" Inner Riland in the heart. He clenched his hands and made the wall an outlet of his anger.
"Iam f*cked up," (i'm so fucked up) Melisa's inner self in her heart. Although now he is with Raya to go to lunch but his mind is always on his hot boss, Riland.
