The Prince Charming System
(Season 2) Partners (2)

[Night at the Dorm]

The night was so quiet and silent that a man was staring at the moon on his balcony accompanied by a cup of warm tea, the green Emerland Netra momentarily dimmed. He sat in silence in silence, the cold Eve around him he ignored.

A moment as a small breeze hit the strands of the man's hair with its neutrals that continued to focus on the light of the night moon. His hand grabbed the teacup beside him, Sipping the tea slowly.

Before long a knock on the door interrupted the man's activities, making the man stop his activities for a moment. He put his cup to its original place, climbing up from there to the door of his room.

Cklek!

"What's wrong?"

"Ezra, you called Justin into his room" Ian replied flatly, Without further ado he immediately left Ezra after giving a message to the owner.

Ezra was silent for a moment staring at Ian's departure, After he came out the room did not forget to close the door. Walk back to Justin's room.

**************

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Come in,"

Slowly Ezra stepped into Justin's room, again closing the door in honor of his master's privacy. For a moment he looked down and saluted after facing Justin.

"What are you calling me Sir?"

Justin leaning his back against the back of the chair, the orange-colored Netra looked straight at Ezra before him with a serious look. Before he started the conversation he took off his glasses, put them on the table.

"There's something I want to talk about and it's very important. First, To be honest I'm still disappointed in you Ezra, all your attitudes and actions towards one of my members have been outrageous. I shouldn't be able to tolerate all your treatment of him," Justin stared coldly, The orange netra look sharp.

"I've also seen all the CCTV footage of this Dormitory, I could've taken you out of the Dormitory because your attitude has never changed in the past,"

Ezra chose to quietly listen to all Justin's words, He looked down small. The green net of the emerland dimmed blankly without intending to stare at Justin.

"I know, I will accept all the consequences because of my attitude and actions" Reply Ezra softly still lowered his head.

Justin exhaled a rough breath as he glanced at his laptop. "But now I've changed my mind,"

Ezra's reflexes look up after Justin's voice again sweeps his hearing, his green Netra meets Justin's orange netra.

"I heard from Devian, Chloe has forgiven all of our past and present treatment. So I guess you should thank that kid, that's why I didn't get you out of this Dorm Ezra, "Justin was calm.

As Ezra went back to silence, he remembered Chloe's words this morning saying that she was also one of the girl's family members in the dormitory.

"Am I really part of his family? The girl already had a family in her house. Why would he even consider all the members of this Dormitory to be his family?" Ezra thought in silence until Justin's voice resuscitated him back from daydreaming.

"So I assume this is over, remember Ezra. Give him a chance, be a good partner and friend to Chloe. He still needs guidance in my company,"

Ezra just nodded without answering.

"Secondly, concerning your feelings." Justin kept silent for a moment recalling his dispute with Ezra. Suddenly an awkward atmosphere filled Justin's room. Both of them chose silence, This is what Ezra feared.

He was afraid of making his relationship with Justin so tenuous, and stupidly he even leaked it with emotion at that time. Both of Ezra's hands clenched tightly, His head could only bow deeply without daring to look at Justin again.

"I can't believe it turns out you have feelings for me," Justin looked the other way stiffly, Feeling awkward to say again.

"Actually I don't want to say it, and would rather just keep it. But because of the emotion that day, I could not control myself. And you know what happens next" replied Ezra slowly still lowered his head.

"When do you like me?"

"Maybe at SMA,"

Justin's memory shifted when he was still in High School with Ezra. They're always together, same school, and sometimes they wear the same couple. Justin thinks their friendship will last forever. But it did not seem to be what he had imagined.

The breath was heard again, He connected his fingers seriously.

"Sorry Ezra, I can't return your feelings. We are just friends no more. I hope you understand. Look for something better than me and make you happy,"

"I don't know what I'm feeling right now, I'm trying to forget this feeling. Maybe after this meeting, For a while we did not meet Mr. Justin," Ezra looked at Justin with a flat look.

"Are you leaving this dorm?"

"No, I just need some alone time,"

"That's it," Justin lowered his head, He understood Ezra's feelings. Her orange netra then switched to staring at the memory on her laptop. His hand stretched out to release the memory and thrust it at Ezra.

"Take it, I've heard the tape. You'll find out who the perpetrators are that provoked the employees into ruining your reputation and mine,"

Without hesitation Ezra received the memory was somewhat confused. "Where did you get this memory?"

"Chloe got it, now all she needs is the company's CCTV, guarded by the traitor's underlings,"

"I understand, Then excuse me,"

Justin nodded after Ezra bowed respectfully to him, Afterwards the man with the green blue emerland out of Justin's room.

**************

Cklek!

Blam it!

Arriving at the room, Ezra threw his body on the bed. Staring at the ceiling of his room with classic nuances, for a moment imagine the curiosity who has provoked the employees to hate him. His net turned to stare at the small memory he had in his hand.

Ezra immediately went from his bed to a table, while he was fiddling with the laptop on the table. Entering the memory data he just got.

He sharpened his hearing after shortly after the recording was played, his green Netra continued to focus on the laptop screen. A few minutes later he sat there until the recording was finished.

Ezra looked petrified, One hand clenched at the table. His jaw momentarily hardened restraining the anger within him.

"Ethan's...I won't forgive you!" The young man's hiss.

***************

[The next day]

Hustle and bustle of some employees were heard along the ground floor. They are busy going back and forth doing their respective tasks including Chloe who is now mopping the floor.

Occasionally the blue netra was watching around him, be careful in case the Mr. G.M was around. Until suddenly a clap right on his shoulder made the girl jerked for a moment.

Then his head turned to know who had patted his shoulder just now.

"Hi, how are you? Long time no see," Sapa the figure of a young man girded green with green neutrals while smiling as bright as the sun.

"Sister Ash?!" Although a little surprised, Chloe smiled cheerfully and realized that her upperclassman had just patted her on the shoulder. "Well right. Yes, Long time no see. Brother Ash seems to be very busy on campus so we rarely meet,"

"Hahaha, yes that's it. My schedule has been very busy lately. I came here too because I happened to be called the director, "Ash chuckled a little while rubbing his neck.

"It is rare to look. Is Ash here alone?"

"Yes, if Revan, Ian, Raizel, and Al they're busy training in another building,"

Chloe muttered in response to Ash's chatter, Ash shortly reached into his jacket pocket and showed a shiny object right in front of Chloe.

"Oh yeah, this necklace is yours, right? Sorry to have returned it now,"

Chloe's gaze was fixed on the necklace with the C.M logo in the middle of it right in Ash's grasp, Her hand immediately grabbed the necklace while somewhat shocked.

"Well, this is my necklace, I just realized that my necklace is missing, too" Chloe looked carefully at the necklace for a moment, then smiled. "Where did Ash find my necklace?"

"When we accidentally collided, and you seemed to be in a hurry at the time. So maybe your necklace fell when we accidentally collided," Ash explained with a smile still plastered on his lips.

"There's a lot then, Brother Ash,"

"Hm, Equally. I'll go first, yeah,"

Chloe simply nodded in response to the young man, Ash immediately left from there continuing his journey. The girl immediately put the necklace back on. He hid the necklace pendant behind his OG uniform.

After that Chloe resumed her work that had been delayed, but her hands stopped again as if she felt someone was watching her. Chloe looked around her for a moment, telling her if someone was watching her or not.

"Maybe it's just my feeling," thought the girl dismissing her curiosity.

He is back focused on his current job.

***************

Chloe turned off the faucet after washing her hands in the sink, The job of cleaning the floor is done. He just brought two boxes of cardboard containing unused files.

Blam it!

The girl came out of the toilet and approached two medium-sized boxes lying on the floor. With all her might she held up the two stacked boxes until they somewhat covered Chloe's gaze, Carrying her slowly.

"These boxes are heavy, too,"

Just a few feet away from the toilet, he suddenly felt like he was hitting someone.

BRUK!

"Okay, Hey! If the road looks at dong! So the real OG!" A female employee who Chloe just hit.

"Sorry brother, my view is obstructed cardboard,"

"That's reason! Put dong's brain on! I can bring one-on-one! It's a bother!"

"So I want nanya, If my brother in my position bring one-on-one cardboard to the warehouse back and forth from the ground floor to the 5th floor. Tired yet? Tired right, let alone the contents of his heavy-heavy," Reply Chloe with a smile plastered on her lips.

As soon as the female employee took a bite, thinking in silence that what Chloe said had a point. If he is in the position of Chloe, Mana wants him to go back and forth up and down the elevator just to deliver heavy cardboard boxes to the warehouse. The woman screeched in annoyance as she stomped her feet.

"You dare talk to me that way! Your status is only OG here know not!"

"Yes, I know! Then what's wrong if I'm just OG here? I won't bother you, either,"

The female employee was increasingly burned with annoyance, her mouth was open again ready to throw spicy words plus maki caci. But his intention came to a halt as his netra caught the figure of the Road Manager stepping closer to them.

"What's this?"

"Ah, It just so happens that there is a Mr. Manager here," thought the woman with a cynical smile.

"Sir, this OG is not good at his job. My time again the road was hit anyway, the reason is just because his view was blocked cardboard!" Adu the woman while pointing at Chloe whose hands have been somewhat trembling holding the weight of two boxes in her hands on the Road Manager aka Ezra.

For a moment Ezra looked flat at the two girls before him, then his gaze turned to look at Chloe.

"You've apologized to him?" Ezra asked still looking at Chloe who was taken in by the girl.

"Already Sir, I also want to leave immediately earlier,"

"God! But what's causing trouble is you first!" Hardik the woman did not accept.

"I'm sorry, brother, but my brother's on my way,"

Ezra exhaled a coarse breath, Looking coldly at the woman who liked to magnify that trivial matter.

"You listening to that? Now get the hell out of the way or you'll be late tonight. Don't keep getting other people's attention! You're not the only employee to notice. There are many other employees,"

The woman was bluffing in annoyance, looking sharply at Chloe for a moment. Then leave immediately while grumbling.

"Curtain! No, Mr. Manager, not his OG. Both cause trouble in this office, "The girl slowly walks past Ezra and Chloe.

Of course the woman's grunts can still be heard Ezra and Chloe because the woman is still not walking too far from her second position. As soon as Chloe's hair bristled as she felt the gloomy aura of Ezra, the green Emerland-sliced netra's gaze looked sharp like an eagle ready to pounce on its prey.

"Don't fight, Plis Mr. Ezra. Make her reputation more damaged," Chloe's inner heart is struggling in order not to be exposed to Ezra's tantrums.

At first glance he saw Ezra again approaching the woman or rather blocking the steps of the woman. Highlighting her eyes colder than ever, Vaguely Chloe heard the chatter between Ezra and the female employee.

"I didn't expect you to dare to vilify me, Tonight you're overtime huh. Do 3 full file maps and tomorrow morning at 8am right hand them over to me. Through that hour then you will be overtime again and your duties will be expanded. Understand right?" Ezra smiled coldly with emphasis at the end of his sentence.

Instantly the woman was stunned until she was petrified for a moment, her knees suddenly almost limp after hearing the word 'soft' from Ezra. From his view the figure of Ezra was already like a terrible demon to him.

"Jeez, Mr. Manager apparently heard my grunts. I'm sure I'm far from him, though,"

"But Pak–"

Regardless of the female employee again, Ezra stepped away. Green netra glanced at Chloe who was still still in place, Before long Ezra took one of the boxes containing the file so that Chloe's view was not blocked anymore.

The girl only blinked her eyes for a moment feeling astonished and somewhat shocked by Ezra's piercing.

"Go quickly! Don't be a snail for long!" Ezra said it was for Chloe.

Chloe immediately rushed after Ezra who had gone to lead the way first.

*************

[Floor 5]

TING!

The two quickly get out of the elevator to a room with the word warehouse, Ezra opens the door and enters it, followed by Chloe.

Chloe placed the cardboard in her hand on a shelf along with Ezra, after which the girl smiled with satisfaction because her task was done.

For a moment he patted his hand gently just to remove the small dust attached. Then he turned his head to Ezra who was still beside him.

"Thank you Sir for helping, thankfully there is Mr. Ezra. Otherwise I will continue to be deterred by that brother," Chloe smiled cheerfully for a moment.

Ezra gave a small snort while holding his side, turning his gaze in the other direction without looking at Chloe.

"Curtain! Don't get me wrong, I don't care or what. I just feel sorry that you have to deal with him!" Ezra with a faint red hue on both cheeks, so thin that it is not visible.

Chloe chuckles small even though she feels surprised by Ezra's attitude is somewhat different now than it used to look ugly and rude. But Chloe's happy that Ezra's getting a little calm now.

"Hehehe, good father also turned out,"

"Of course I'm good! Do you think I'm bad?!" Ezra glared after Chloe's voice swept back her hearing.

"Hm...The first time I worked in this office with my father thought the father was a rude and easily ignited emotion, so I think at that time the father looked evil," The girl's great-granddaughter while twisting the end of her uniform slightly lowered.

Ezra was silent for a moment, He rubbed his nape awkwardly. Every now and then her green net glances at Chloe, remembering all her rude attitude towards the girl.

"I...From now on I want to change my attitude. I'm sorry for all my treatment of you, and thank you for helping me out so many times and for being patient with my abusive attitude all along,"

Chloe looked up at the awkward-looking Ezra, The young man several times glanced in other directions.

"You're my partner, so I'll slowly accept you as my co-worker,"

Hearing that made Chloe flinch for a moment, Then a smile as bright as the sun rose from her lips. With a sparkling netra the girl grabbed both of Ezra's hands and cupped them in her arms. The behavior made Ezra somewhat surprised.

"Sir Ezra gave me a chance? We're gonna work together like any other partner?" Chloe asked happily.

"Yes,"

"It's good to hear that, I've forgiven all of your attitudes. I will help Mr. Ezra change his attitude for the better than before. Therefore, we as partners must protect each other and work together. From now on please help Mr. Ezra,"

Chloe smiled so much that her eyes narrowed almost to show a neatly arranged row of white teeth, Her hands still cupped Ezra's hands in front of her chest.

While Ezra was still stunned by Chloe's care and sincerity, she was quite touched by the words of the girl before her. Never had she found a girl as smooth and patient as Chloe, instead she more often found a girl who was as jutek as her.

"Protect each other and cooperate yes..," Unconsciously the corner of his lips interested in forming a smile.

"Of course, please help me too, my Partner," Ezra also smiled until his eyes narrowed slightly with a thin hue on both cheeks.

The sunlight from the window cracks also shone on the two who were smiling at each other, Making the atmosphere of the warehouse seem full of excitement.

Before long Ezra suddenly pulled his hands back from Chloe, making the girl stare in wonder. While Ezra cleared a little to eliminate the awkwardness that suddenly reappeared he was too lulled in the atmosphere earlier.

"Ehem! We promised to protect each other and work together as partners. But don't forget, I still hate you know! Hate you so much. So don't bother me when we work together!" Ezra said back out his scathing words.

Chloe chuckled slowly again. "No problem Mr. Ezra still hates me, the important thing is that Mr. Ezra already wants to acknowledge me as a partner father,"

"Oh!" Ezra turned his face the other way a faint slight thin hue reappeared on both of his cheeks.

Without answering any more, Ezra rushed out of the room leaving Chloe who was just following Ezra from behind with a small smile.
