"Non Valerie." shouted Naina hysterically.
"Hi Naina, you know, I miss you." Valerie's sweet voice echoed in the living room.
Julian, who was in the middle of the room, faintly heard their conversation.
Julian also heard Naina shouting Valerie's name.
And just then, Julian slowly put the book he was reading on the table. Then he walked slowly to the living room.
And sure enough, Valerie was hugging Naina at the door.
"Welcome back Non Vale, I've been waiting a long time for Non Vale to come home." Vale could only smile sweetly at Naina. As she continues to be held tightly by Naina.
"I came here only to see you Bik and also to visit Bibik Aise. And I brought souvenirs for both of you from Germany." said Vale who at that time had not yet ngeh if there was Julian who was standing watching him.
"It's Non Vale's house, why don't you come back here" Naina said.
"Let me tell you Bik, where's Bik Aise? I've missed him too." said Vale who then turned his eyes to the other side.
And at the same time, Vale's eyes caught the figure of a man who was familiar to him who had been standing at a distance of several meters from himself at this time.
Julian, who was still wearing his office clothes, stood frozen to look at Valerie. And at the same time, Vale was staring at Julian.
The two irises of the eye meet again after a long time.
Not wanting to linger long at Julian, Vale turned back towards Naina.
"I want to meet Aise Bik." said Vale.
"He's behind Non. Mr. Julian visited today to give us a salary" Naina explained.
"Welcome Valerie" Julian's distinctive soft voice finally sounded.
"Thank you, I didn't come here to go back to Penthouse. I just stopped by, and neither did I for long. Bik, I want to meet Bibik Aise first." said Vale again, who turned his eyes towards Naina again.
And finally, Vale was invited by Naina to the back to meet with Aise.
Vale then walked through Julian with a very calm attitude, and impressed indifferent. Vale just passed by from before Julian.
Julian, who had been standing in his place, could only remain silent after Vale passed from before him.
While waiting for Vale to finish letting go miss with his two assistants. Julian then walked towards the mini bar table in the corner of the room.
Julian poured a glass of wine and then drank it.
For some reason Julian felt alien to Valerie's attitude. Not only is his attitude foreign. But now Valerie also looks different.
Samar faint Julian could listen to Vale's conversation together to the two housekeepers from the back room.
After waiting for about 30 minutes. The sound of footsteps approaching him was heard by Julian. Julian knew that it was Valerie's footsteps.
Julian, who was sitting in a mini bar chair, turned to look at Vale who was standing a few meters away.
Vale, who was dressed casually, wore a white T-shirt combined with a blue denim jacket and wearing jeans and sneaker shoes, looked so fresh.
"Can we talk for a second?" vale said to the man in front of him.
"Of course."
"We talk in the living room" said Vale who then walked first into the living room. And then followed by Julian following and behind.
Sitting on a different sofa, Vale who was currently staring at Julian then started the conversation.
"I didn't come to Penthouse to stay here again. I just came here to see Naina and Aise. I consider them family. They were the ones who for 9 months I was pregnant helped me a lot. They were the ones who accompanied me, comforting me. I'm here to give them by. And I reiterate once again, Julian. I've returned all the assets you've given me. I absolutely do not want to enjoy the rewards you have given." said Vale explained the purpose of his arrival.
"I don't care if you return all those assets. Because I'll never take her back either. If you don't want all those assets. I'll transfer all your assets to Elenor."
"I don't care about assets. I want to tell you, if I'm not ready to meet Elenor yet. Even though I miss him so much. I just came from Germany yesterday. And now I live in a hostel. I have a job interview tomorrow. I'm just telling you that, I want to focus first on working. I'll see Elenor if I already have a decent place to live for my daughter. If at any time he wants to stay with me. I want to show Elenor that her Mommy left her to try to live better. So, don't tell Elenor if I'm back in Indonesia. I'll come to Elenor when I'm really ready. I don't want to disappoint her."
"Elenor has asked yourself. He asked me when you'd come."
"Just tell him Mommy's coming."
For a moment they kept quiet, Julian had been watching and watching Vale.
"You look different Vale" said Julian softly.
"Nothing is different from me. I'm sorry I had to leave, I can't stay here long." then Vale stood up from his seat. Julian stood up as Vale stood up.
"I'll take you home" Julian said.
"No need, thank you. I'm going home in a cab. Good evening Julian." said Vale, after which he passed from Julian's presence.
Julian escorted Valerie to the door and she could only see Vale's departure without giving a hug or shaking her hand.
