The Trouble Lady (Project of Love)
Chapter 24. Pay Your Debt!

Ricky is still confused because the flowers he has only a single red rose left.

"Senpai, yuk flower exchange!" said Nisa.

"Eh?!" Ricky was shocked and immediately turned to face Nisa, but she hid her flower behind her back.

On the other hand Nisa was also the same, she also hid her flower behind her back. He looked at Ricky with a shy look and blushing cheeks. "Ehmm .. We do it together!"

This is the first time I've given flowers to people, but strangely, how come my heart is pounding so much?

"Wait a minute! You serious?!" ricky asked with a nervous expression.

"Yes, seriously! Count to 3! One, two, three!" Right after Nisa uttered the 3rd count, she and Ricky simultaneously pulled out a flower.

"Eh?!" Both of them were shocked, Nisa took out a white rose which means friendship. As for Ricky, he definitely took out a red rose.

"Red rose ...?" nisa asked as if she could not believe it. His face was now as red as a tomato.

Ricky then turned his face which was also flushed. "Don't think weird! My rose is that one! The white one I gave to someone else!"

"Who thinks strange?!" Nisa then snatches the red rose from Ricky's hand and hands the white rose to Ricky by force. "P-just thank you! That includes honor for you because I consider you a friend!"

"O-ohh so yeah! There is progress too haha! W-we are now friends!" ricky said with an awkward smile.

Both people are wrong just because of the matter of roses. Shortly afterwards Nisa suddenly said, "Anu .. I want to go to the toilet first!"

"Y-yeah please, stay right there!" ricky said with a nervous tone.

Nisa then leaves Ricky alone at the party and rushes to the toilet. Nisa walked in a hurry, even because she was still nervous because of this, unconsciously she went to the toilet while carrying 2 red roses that one was her own and the other was a gift from Ricky.

But due to the rush and nervous feeling, he subconsciously bumped into someone unknown.

BRUGH!

Nisa fell, whom she hit was a tall and burly man who also wore a neat suit.

"Master is okay?" ask another man who was behind the man Nisa hit.

"I'm fine" replied the man.

"Ughh ..." Nisa grimaced because her butt was sickly, she then got up on her own with an annoyed expression. "What the hell, Om?! The road is not looking!"

"Om ...?" the man gawked as if in disbelief because he was called Om, even though his face was handsome and young who was around 20 years old.

"Miss, please keep your talk! Don't you know who she's talking to right now?" said the other guy.

"I don't know and don't want to know! Is there any advantage to knowing who you are?!" nisa said as if challenging.

"Origin Miss knows yes, now Miss is facing off against the most respected Young Master in this city! Kartawijaya Keyran! CEO of HW Group! If you want, then it could be that Miss's family company disappears overnight" he said in a threatening tone.

"What the hell? Bring all the company, even though I just accidentally hit. You're Om-Om baperan! Bye, I don't want any business with you!" Nisa then walked past them.

"Valen, hold the girl!"

"Good, Master!" The assistant from the Young Master directly intercepted Nisa's path. "Miss can't leave yet!"

"Why?! What do you want me to do?!" nisa snapped without fear.

Uhh ... God damn it, I can barely stand going to the toilet anymore.

"Master decides!" Valen then gripped Nisa's hand and dragged her to approach her Young Master. But after approaching, Nisa suddenly brushed off Valen's hand.

"Deliver!" Nisa then turned to glare towards the Young Master. "Om gonna do what?"

"Why do you keep calling me Om, huh? I'm I'm that old?" ask her with a cynical look.

"Yes, I'm not old, but I'm only 16! What's wrong with me calling you Om? I think it fits!"

"You ..."

"Already, right? Then I'm leaving!" Nisa was about to step away but her hand was held back by the Young Master. "What else?"

"What's your name?" she asked with a cynical look and her hand was getting tighter and tighter holding Nisa's hand.

This girl ...she was not at all afraid of me despite being threatened, I wanted to know who she really was.

"Heh, my name is ... Madam! If you want to call me then call me Madam!" Nisa again brushed off the man's hand. "Deliver!"

Even though her hand had been removed, Nisa still could not leave from there. Because the assistant did not give any way for him to pass by.

"You guys what?!" ask Nisa who is starting to lose her patience.

"Master decides!"

"Bas crazy," muttered Nisa who then looked back at the Young Master. "Tell this man of yours not to get in my way!"

"Ckck, it's the first time I've seen a girl who doesn't have manners like you. I didn't make a tally with you that was lucky for you. What I want you to do is basic, you've hit me so apologize!"

"Sorry!" said Nisa.

"That's not a real apology! Show your sincerity!"

"It doesn't have to be that way, but I want a sincere apology!"

Noticing the arrogant Young Master, Nisa suddenly looked towards the 2 red rose stalks she was holding. He handed the red rose to the Young Master.

"This, accept it as my apology. I'm asking you not to make things difficult for me anymore, I'm in a hurry."

"Why is there only one you give?" she asked with a cynical look but still received flowers from Nisa's hand.

"The other flower means a lot to me" answered Nisa spontaneously.

"Oh, from your boyfriend?"

"Y-yeah! Of course from my boyfriend! A young man like me obviously has a girlfriend! A lot of asking! Don't be single!" nisa said with a soft expression.

"This girl ... quickly go there!"

Nisa immediately left the two men. But as soon as Nisa left, the assistant approached towards her Young Master. "Sir, do I need to investigate the girl just now?"

"No need, just girls who are less educated than parents. But judging from his clothes .. It looks like he's attending a party."

"I think so too. The master will now also attend the cocktail party event as a VIP guest. Maybe you'll meet the girl again."

"Why is that?"

"Because the party you are going to is a party held by the Ministry of Education, this party will only be attended by selected students from various elite schools. Many children of influential local company owners and local officials were present. You are invited because you have great influence in the business world. And other VIP guests are also no less influential in other fields. The point is this party brings together the next generation of influential young candidates."

"Hm, what kind of family do you think that girl was from?" ask her while grinning.

"Come sir, just pray that we don't see him again."

She was no ordinary girl, even my hands were still sore from being pushed hard by her.

"By the way, are you going to keep the rose from the girl?"

"Heh, I'll throw it away. Strange girl, even though she already has a boyfriend, but on Valentine's day this instead gives red roses to strangers."

***

Moments later, Nisa who had finished from the toilet then returned to the party. There he sees Ricky still in the exact same spot before he leaves.

"Oh, it's back. You're gone long enough, are you constipated?" ask Ricky.

"I'm old because there are obstacles in the way, not because of constipation, so don't make fun of me!" nisa said with an annoyed expression.

"I'm not mocking, I'm just asking about your health, if you're actually constipated then I can give you the cure! The point is I care! This is a lesson for you, don't judge someone badly before you know what they really mean!" ricky said with great emphasis.

"Yes .. understand," replied Nisa in a lazy tone.

Suddenly the music stopped again. Then came Violet and Charlie as the MC of the show.

"Tests, tests! How do friends talk about games expressing feelings with flowers? It must be exciting, but .. This excitement is not over yet! There is still another exciting game! It's a dance competition!" said Charlie.

"This dance competition is very special, because not all guests can participate! If any guests wish to join, please register your name first! And this competition is a pair competition that tests cohesiveness! You must find your own dancing partner, free from the same school or another school! But, since the theme of the party is valentine, then the rules should be women and men!" violet.

"In order for the guests to be more interested in participating, then I will give a leak of the prize for the winner. Everyone must have an idol, and through this event you have the opportunity to communicate with your idol through a video call! It does not matter if your idol is an idol, actor, actress, singer, or footballer who comes from abroad. Since the sponsors have an extensive network, they will attempt to communicate through the manager of the idols!"

"Registration time is limited, only 15 minutes! For that then welcome to find a dance partner from now on!!"

Everything was immediately excited because it was tempted by the gifts offered. But that is not the case for Ricky, because his idol is a famous inventor and scientist who is clearly dead.

"Nisa, let's just watch" said Ricky who instead got a disappointed look from Nisa. "You wanna come?"

Nisa nodded.

"People like you have idols too?!" ricky asked in disbelief.

"Of course you have! My idol is a mangaka!"

"What is mangaka?" ricky asked confusedly.

"That's a term for people who draw manga or Japanese comics. My idol is Oda Sensei! He's the Japanese who made my favorite comic! And I really want to talk to him!"

"Oh, yes, I have. Then find your dance partner!"

"I found it!" nisa said with a smile.

"Don't tell me you meant to take me!"

"I didn't say it, but you just said it yourself! Hehe, so agree, right?"

"I don't want to! Why should I dance with you?" ricky asked as if he didn't.

"Because this is my request, you must obey it. Pay your debts! Don't pretend to forget about our bets on the rooftop! I've won and become the Blue Sky Queen in an honest way, now it's your turn to fulfill that bet! And I'm asking to be my dance partner!"

"But Nisa .. Think again, the competition this time is dance, dance!"

"Yes continues? Indeed what's the problem? I can dance! Which is your question? Are you the kind of person who breaks your own promise?"

For a moment Ricky was stunned and then took a deep breath. "Huft .. okay, then let's dance with me!"
