"Master Justin! What do you mean by telling me to take your place?!" Sela Ezra followed Justin into the young man's room.
He stepped closer not to forget to close the door to Justin's room, Justin's step stopped after hearing Ezra's protest behind him.
For a moment, the breath of Justin sounded, The young man with orange breath was sitting down to rest himself while looking at the outside world from behind the glass of his room. And Ezra is still faithful waiting for Justin's answer.
"I need someone I can trust to take care of my company, you've always been close to me Ezra. One day I can't continue to control my company alone" Justin explained without turning his head, His gaze fixed on the outside world.
"I decided this without your consent, because I knew you would definitely reject my decision. I had a discussion with my family and they agreed. For a while you're in control,"
Some time the orange netra dimmed small. "At least to wait for my decision to come,"
Ezra flinched for a moment, His expression turning grim and sad. "But why should I? Why not just give this job to your other family? Shouldn't it be the Garfield family's official heir who can take control of the company?"
"I'm the only child in my family, Ezra, besides my grandparents, no one else can control the company. And you've been thought of as my own brother, after all." Justin turned his head and walked up to Ezra, smiling faintly as he held his best friend's shoulders.
"Did you remember your promise at the hospital? You promised to comply with my request. So this time I'm just asking you to be my successor, not as a friend or confidant but as a brother,"
Ezra was silent when his net met with Justin, To be honest he did not understand why Justin insisted on asking him to be a replacement CEO in his own company. But it seems that Ezra has to rethink Justin's request.
He sighed for a moment and nodded slowly in response. Despite trying as hard as he always could not refuse Justin's request, even though the request is unreasonable.
"Well, I'll do everything I can, sir" said Ezra resignedly, At first glance he saw a happy smile from Justin and it made his feelings reappear.
"It's good to hear that, I'm glad to have a friend and brother like you, Ezra," Justin patted Ezra's shoulder gently.
While Ezra only replied to Justin with a smile, for a moment his head was down until some strands of his hair covered the face. Ezra clutched his collar where his heart was.
"Once again this feeling arises, As hard as I try it feels like I can't resist the charm," thought Ezra gloomily, saying, Though he has promised not to continue to be involved with his feelings, but it feels difficult for Ezra to accept the fact that he still has those feelings for Justin.
The closer he gets to Justin, the more his feelings develop, and the harder it will be for him to forget those strange feelings.
"Ezra?"
Ezra's daydreams were blown away as Justin's voice swept through his hearing, For some time Justin had been in front of him with a thick document in his grasp. Justin seemed to be handing the documents to her.
"For your first training, you learn first how to take care of my company. All the explanations are complete here, and tomorrow you can work on it,"
"Well, thank you for the guidance all along," Ezra received the document and bowed softly.
"Sure,"
After there was nothing they talked about anymore, Ezra went from there taking care of the other work.
***************
[Night, Office area]
The cold night made a girl close her jacket, she stepped slowly away from the office area. Occasionally his blue netra noticed around the office without exception.
Before long a car suddenly stopped right in front of her making the girl's step stop, Chloe looked at the driver of the car who had just come out of there and approached her.
"Sister Felix?"
Hearing his name called made Felix smile, Just finished his work and intend to pick up his sister.
"Hey, is it time to go home?"
"Yes, I was going to the stop,"
"It just so happens, all brother interra,"
"Yes...Aren't we different directions, brother?" Chloe furrowed her brows confused.
"Oh, didn't you read Justin's message? He asked my brother to pick you up, he said you should go back to the dorm,"
"To Dormitory?"
Chloe's reflex opens the message through her watch, and it's true that there's been a message from Justin that she must return because there are some important things that must be told.
"But for what?"
"Come, I think it's really important, brother,"
"All right, let's go home. For this time I'll stay there, "A moment Chloe yawns because she's sleepy, she steps in the car first followed by Felix.
While Felix only smiled faintly, he entered the car after his sister.
************
[Brother]
"I'm home, everyone" said Chloe as her feet stepped into the living room. For a moment he confirmed the rope of his backpack that had been loose, while Felix beside Chloe immediately sat himself on the sofa.
Devian and Rion who happened to be there playing cards turned their heads slowly, Rion's smile expanding upon seeing Chloe's arrival. Devian nodded small.
"Welcome back, Chloe," said Devian.
"Welcome," Rion replied with a smile.
"Who's coming?"
All the members turned to realize the arrival of Raizel from the kitchen, The young man with black brown interjection looked rather messy and lethargic. But the lethargy was gone in an instant when her neutrality accidentally caught Chloe's presence in the living room.
Raizel's smile flared up and then ran over and wanted to hug Chloe in spirit.
"Cloe!"
Not yet had time to hug the girl's body suddenly Rion was behind Chloe and away Chloe from Raizel, As a result Raizel almost fell because hugging empty air.
"Starting again the drama," Devian rolled his eyes tired of squirming Raizel's behavior, He leaned his body on the back of the sofa.
"Don't just hurt people!"
"What the hell! Sirik. Likes me!" Reply Raizel Jutek does not want to lose.
"Easy on, don't make a fuss! It's also night, you're like a kid," Lerai Felix took off her coat and walked to her room.
Chloe watched Felix leave and turned to Rion beside her. "Which other one?"
"Udah on a break in each room, if you want to see me tomorrow only. Miss used to be here,"
"Oh, Okay. I'm headfirst. Good night Rion, Raizel, Devian,"
"Night,"
After getting answers from the three remaining members, Chloe stepped towards her room to rest herself. Basically they will all gather tomorrow in the dining room and of course Chloe has to rest early to prepare for tomorrow morning.
****************
[The next morning]
As the days usually all the members one by one began to gather in the dining room, this morning was eating peacefully without the commotion made by Raizel or Devian. Justin as the owner of the Dormitory always pay attention to its members on the sidelines of their meals.
Everything was silent and silent, Only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks clashing against the plate was heard. After finishing breakfast, none of them moved out of their places as if they knew that there would be an important announcement from Justin.
"So...What's the announcement again?" Ian was the first to open the chat after a few minutes no one had opened his voice.
Justin glanced slowly at one by one the members who were waiting for an answer from him. Rion was chin-backed while waiting for Justin, Devian was busy eating his snacks, Ian was scrapped while closing his eyes, Felix was busy playing a spoon in his hand, Raizel who joined the chin support lazily, Aiden was busy playing the rose in his hand, Ezra who was just sitting quietly listening, And Chloe who folded her hands on the table while putting her chin between the folds of her hand.
Before long a faint smile rose from Justin's lips, he took his watch and conjured up a small hologram with a large lake atmosphere accompanied by several swans swimming. On the side of the lake there is a beautiful beautiful garden equipped with cherry trees that bloom.
All the members' gazes were focused with that small hologram screen, Some of them were staring at Justin's astonishment. Wondering in what heart the owner of the Dormitory showed the hologram.
"Have you heard that the traitor who made a mess in my company has been caught? You know that, right?" Justin asked to start his chat and was taken in by all the members.
"Yes, we heard it. What's up with that?" Felix looked at Justin. Others choose to be silent.
"To celebrate our victory and the hard work of all of you, I have a gift for you,"
"Gift?" Devian who had just eaten his snack casually immediately straightened his body when he heard the word gift, It seems that he is getting interested in their chatter.
Justin nodded slowly still smiling. He pointed at his hologram lake. "Yes, how about a weekend trip to the lake? At once calm the mind,"
"You must be tired of that routine - it continues, right?" His gaze was still staring at the members one by one.
For a moment they all looked at each other at Justin's proposal and Ian let out a small sigh while returning to the side.
"It's true that we all need a vacation, I'll just go along" Ian replied looking the other way.
"Nice, I do need a vacation, too. It feels tiring to do that routine - it continues. It's up to the place where, the important thing is that I come along," Raizel nodded in agreement.
Hearing some members agree with their vacation plans makes an idea cross Chloe's mind, the girl raises her hand slowly making some members' attention distracted.
"Sir I have an idea" Chloe said with a big smile.
"Oh really? What idea? You can say it right away,"
"What if we were picnics? I heard from some people picnic under the cherry tree is fun especially if with family, It will be an unforgettable and beautiful memory," Usul Chloe still smiled widely.
Hearing Chloe's proposal makes Felix and Aiden seem interested, then Felix turns his head while nodding.
"Good idea, rarely do we get together outside. This time I agree with Chloe,"
"I agree too" replied Aiden, chiming in on Felix's words.
"Well, we're going on a vacation to that lake and a picnic. What do you think of Rion, Ezra, and Devian?" Justin turned to his remaining members and did not give an opinion.
For a moment Ezra chose to remain silent rather than think about their vacation plans, his mind was more directed to the management of Justin's company. He was just afraid of not being able to manage the company properly and messed it all up. But on the other hand he also did not want to make Justin's trust in him disappear.
"Ugh, Fucked. I can't think straight now," thought Ezra restlessly clutching his hand gently at the end of his sleeve.
Honestly, Rion secretly realized the restless look of Ezra, This is the first time for Rion himself to see the uneasiness of Justin's right hand. But his mouth chose silence and answered Justin's question.
"I'll go along, maybe Devian wants to add another proposal?" Rion nudged softly Devian who was sitting beside him making Devian snort small.
"Nothing, Unless I want all the food brought for the picnic later on, Chloe's sister is cooking," Devian glanced softly at Chloe, while being glimpsed just staring in wonder while pointing at herself.
"Me?"
Hearing Devian's request made Aiden's brows furrow. "Wait on! You want all Miss Chloe's cooking? I mean my cooking is not good?!"
"No, Chloe's sister is rarely in the dorm. So I guess tasting his cooking once in a while is fine, right? Especially for a picnic, anyway,"
"There's nothing wrong with trying Chloe," Ian chimed in while gently nudging Chloe's arm beside her.
"Oh, okay no problem. As long as you guys are happy with my cooking, I'll try my best" Chloe smiled broadly as she nodded in agreement.
"Good, I hope this weekend all your work is done. So there is nothing to think about but the holidays. You understand?" Justin said after all their plans.
"understand!"
Everything simultaneously answered after all the members went to do their respective tasks, but Chloe only realized one thing after accidentally meeting with Ezra who stepped away first.
Among the excitement of the chatter of their vacation plan earlier, Only Ezra who did not give an opinion or just participated in the suggestion, Since then he just silently listened as if a lot of mind burden. The look on the young man's face also looked agitated and displeased.
"Maybe today Mr. Ezra's mood is not good, so he just kept quiet from now on" Chloe thought after a while just staring at Ezra's back which was getting further and further away from the dining room.
But in her deepest little heart Chloe hopes the pleasure and happiness of the Dormitory members that she has considered this family will last a long time, despite the weight of the problem.
