"Ashypha? why is that your shirt?"
William stared in wonder at the white shirt Ashifa was wearing. Asyifa, who had lowered her face, could only cover it with her briefcase.
"Ah, here, this is a regular coffee stain, not a blood stain! So you don't misunderstand me!" said Asyifa nervously and subconsciously raised her face to look at William.
At once, William's face turned anxious and surprised when he saw the neck of the girl in front of him.
"Why is your neck?? Don't tell me the stain on your shirt is real blood?"
"My neck is okay, just a small wound. And like I said, if the stain on my shirt is just a regular coffee stain. Believe me!"
"Your company is called Z Group, right?" ask William suddenly.
"Yes, how do you know? Don't tell me you're looking into my life?"
"Not so, I just don't know it. Means you also know dong, about the horrendous incident that happened in that company today?"
"What happened? Nothing happened today in our company, everything went like the usual days before"
Asyifa tried to hide her surprised expression. How can William know what happened to him?
According to the news that he got from Angel, Zidan had stopped the incident that occurred in the morning to not get spread outside their company.
All that Zidan did was not only to fulfill the request of Ashifa who did not want everyone to know his personal problems, but also to keep the good name of the company.
"You don't have to lie to me, I know everything. Even if your boss says he stopped the news from spreading, there will still be one or two people telling it outside of your company"
"Where do you know?"
"How about we go to the hotel where you will stay first? I'll take you there"
"Huh?"
"Wait, don't misunderstand me, I have no ill intentions at all by taking you to the hotel. I just thought that you seemed to need to just clean yourself up. On the phone, you said you wanted to stay at the hotel and didn't want to go back to your apartment tonight" William explained at length when he saw the look of astonishment on Ashifa's face.
"Ah, okay. Please help"
Asyifa was forced to agree to William's suggestion to take his car to the hotel, because now his body is very cape to be forced to walk again. In addition, his body also desperately needs to be exposed to water in order to feel refreshed.
Every day using the same clothes especially with sweat and blood stains attached there, making the entire body of Asyifa feel sticky and a little itchy.
He also needs to eat and take the medicine given by the hospital and change the bandage for his wound, because the bandage was also wet because of the sweat that flowed down as he walked for hours without direction.

"I'll be waiting for you here, please go and use your time as much as possible" William said as they finished booking the room.
"Thank you, I'll try as soon as possible"
Asyifa immediately headed to her room and went inside the bathroom. But he forgot not to bring a change of clothes at all and only realized all those things when he finished bathing.
Wanting to use the clothes before is also impossible, the shirt was wet with water because he tried to remove blood stains but can not disappear at all.
Geck... Geck..
As Ashifa was walking to and fro inside the room in confusion, suddenly a knock came from outside.
"Who?" ask Asyifa did not dare to open the door, because at this time he only used a hotel towel.
"I'm a hotel attendant ma'am, want to deliver a deposit from mom's boyfriend"
Although confused to hear the words of the officer, but Ashifa chose to open the door when she found out it was a woman.
"What kind of deposit? And from whom?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know what it is either. I was just asked for help to bring her here with my mother's boyfriend, who had come with my mother here"
"Ah, so. Well, thank you so much for your help"
After closing the room door, Ashifa immediately checked the contents of the large grocery bag that William had left for her.
Inside was a pair of nightgowns, a pair of office clothes, a flower-patterned dress that looked simple yet cute and also a pair of shoes.
Asyifa also found a piece of paper tucked in there. He believes the above is William's handwriting.
It said: "I'm sorry if I look like I really want to interfere in your business. But I didn't see you bring clothes to stay over, so I bought some clothes, hopefully the size fits. Can you wear her dress to go to dinner with me?"
Asyifa smiled as she read the message, she felt grateful to be able to meet William tonight.
When she finished preparing, Ashifa immediately approached William "Thank you for her clothes, I will change the cost. Please send me your account number"
Instead of answering Asyifa's words, William looked at Asyifa with a charmed look.
"You're so pretty, the clothes match" praised William who immediately made Asyifa's face flushed.
"Te, thank you. Let's go eat!"
William smiled withholding laughter at Ashifa's nervous behavior because of the praise he said.
"Here, sit down for a minute"
"Why? Not that we're going to go eat, why now take me to sit here?" assyifa protested but kept up with William's request and sat down beside the man.
"Don't the bandage on your wound have to be replaced immediately huh? It seems uncomfortable to continue to use" William said as he placed the P3K box he took from the car onto the table.
"No need, I'm fine even if I don't change the bandage. While showering I also did not let it get exposed to water, so it can still be used"
"If not exposed to water, it means exposed to sweat, just look at the marks. There is redness around it too, are you scratching it because of itching? Let me help you replace yah?"
"Alright, sorry to bother"
William very carefully removed the bandage on Ashifa's neck "I've guessed that it was you, when I saw this bandage on your neck"
"You mean?"
"A few days ago, I accidentally saw a picture of your boss on the internet and from there I knew that you were working for company Z Group. Today, I had lunch with a friend of mine who happened to be working with your company"
"Then?"
"Then I heard the story about what happened this morning at Group Z's company from him, because he just happened to be there to meet your boss. When I saw the wound on your neck, I realized instantly that the story was about you"
"Well... It seems useless if I deny it, right?"
"of course! And I'm done changing the bandage for your wound"
"Thank you very much, William. Oh yeah, you haven't sent me your account number"
"I'm not going to give it to you, because I don't want money in exchange! "
"Then, what do you want in exchange for the cost? Should I buy you clothes for what you gave me?"
"Not so, Ashifa. I want you to reimburse him for your time, how?"
"My time? How's it?"
"Date with me!"
"DATING?!" asyifa was surprised.
"Yes, dating! I approached you with the intention of being able to date you, so I beg you to date me"
"GIRLFRIEND?!" asyifa cried a second time.
Seriate....
