TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD
Apologizing

Aluna and Ara split up right when the taxi came and drove them to their respective destinations. Aluna's feelings were uncertain when the taxi he was riding had already driven towards Alvin's company. In Aluna's heart, Alvin must be very angry with her.

"Please speed up, I'm in a hurry" Aluna told the taxi driver.

"Yes, Miss. I've accelerated" replied the taxi driver.

"Add to the speed, it's still too slow."

"Can't, Miss. This is the fastest."

Feeling anxious at the speed of the taxi that Aluna said was slow, she told the taxi driver to move down to the back and replace him to drive. Although initially the taxi driver did not want to, but eventually also when Aluna bribed him with a lot of money.

"Be careful, Miss. The speed is not too high on crowded roads like this. The police can judge me if they get caught" said the taxi driver.

"Don't worry, just calm down." Aluna increased the speed of the car faster than the driver, to 100 km/H.

Finally, not ten minutes, the taxi he was driving had arrived in front of Alvin's company.

"Thank you, this is the key."

After handing over the key, Aluna walked quickly into the lobby while tidying up her messy long hair, and immediately took off the sweater she was wearing.

In front of the lobby, several employees greeted Aluna.

"Good morning, Madam President."

"At first, is my husband in his room?" aluna asked without further ado at the receptionist.

"President Alvin is in the meeting room. Previously, President Alvin also advised that the madam came to go directly to his room," replied the receptionist.

"Thank you" replied Aluna. At that moment he walked towards the elevator to go to the meeting room on the seventh floor.

...***...

In the other taxi, Ara was opening Helen's phone. While he was busy looking at Aluna's photo, suddenly there was an incoming call from a number he did not know. Ara thought it was Aluna's number, but it wasn't.

^^^"Hello." There was a male baritone on the phone.^^^

Her voice was like I knew her, Inner Ara.

"Well, hello" answered Ara.

^^^"I'm Noah. You're Ara, aren't you?"^^^

Hearing his conjecture right, his lips immediately smiled. Ara thought Noah wouldn't call her again.

"Yes me, Ara."

^^^"Heum .. Why did you block my WhatsApp, I think I had the wrong person."^^^

"Oh, I'm sorry. Looks like ... when I deleted your contact, I was unconscious because I was dreaming. I even walked while sleeping. Maybe I didn't knowingly delete your contact" Ara said. He himself doesn't know what's going on.

^^^"Thank God. I think people have been wrong. Eum .. I just want to make sure no one's wrong. How are you?"^^^

Ara smiled back at him. His heart flowered when Noah asked him. He thought the introduction with Noah yesterday, wouldn't continue until now.

Waiting for a taxi to get to his house. Ara kept talking to Noah on the phone. Their conversation is getting closer, Ara also says that she has found her brother to Noah.

^^^"So you mean Aluna is Luna. Wasn't he your brother from the past?"^^^

"Yes, he's my brother in the real world too."

Hearing Ara say it, Noah was so shocked. Between believe or not. Ara managed to make Noah wonder in his heart 'Could what Ara said be true? If true, it means who has been with Alvin, not his wife but Aluna from the real world? I had to meet Alvin and ask him in person, Noah's inner voice across the phone.

...***...

Now, Aluna had already arrived in front of the meeting room. Aluna stood in front of the door watching from the window slit, making sure Alvin was in the room.

As he peeked, Alvin, who was holding a meeting, caught him from the inside. He whispered to Secretary Sam to end the meeting sooner.

"Can I end it sooner. Please reconsider my advice for the development of this project. For further information you can ask directly to Sam's secretary after this," Alvin said to all members of the meeting.

Not long after one by one meeting participants stood up and left the room.

"Madam, President Alvin told you to come in" Sam's secretary told Aluna who was standing outside.

Aluna nodded. With slow steps and fear he walked into the meeting room. He's sure Alvin must be upset. Sure enough when he just entered it, The first sight he saw, Alvin was staring intently at him.

"Sorry, I'm late." Aluna said very slowly.

Alvin did not answer.

"Even if I'm late, but I'm coming. Not playing you?" Aluna smiled faintly, trying to melt the atmosphere.

Feeling bad about his two superiors, secretary Sam hurriedly parted ways and left them both. At that time he interrupted Aluna's conversation by showing the results of the analysis he had recorded to Alvin.

"President Alvin, this is the analytical data I've collected. From the volume of transactions I see, the data of all investors until now is still safe. I also want to report, there is one company that wants to join again and wants to make an appointment tomorrow afternoon. The company is also interested in investing." Secretary Sam showed the results of his report to Alvin.

"Come on the agenda soon. Tomorrow I only have free time at one noon. Tell the company representative, I do not accept clients who arrive late. If it's done, I'll make sure I don't want to work with him again." Alvin said to Secretary Sam deliberately insinuating Aluna.

"Good, Sir. Soon I'll send an email to the company" replied Sam's secretary. Not wanting to linger there, he then left the two of them in the room.

After Secretary Sam left, Aluna walked slowly closer to Alvin. "I ...."

"I know me, wrong. I'm sorry. I promise this is the first and last time I'm late"

Aluna continued her words and suddenly Alvin pulled her body.
