When Love Loses Meaning
Selfish

In Indonesia, Rosemary has decided to try contacting Tiara. Although he himself was not sure whether Tiara would accept himself as a child or not admit it.

Rosemary is forced to make a decision that she should have made long before news of her began to ruin her life.

Not only as a woman who likes to trap men with her smooth body but also as a wearer only because a woman who becomes her stepbrother is in the cell because of the wearer.

“I don't care if he will acknowledge me as a child or not. At least the answer he gave me was a reason that I still have a mother or not,” muttered Rosemary as she started dialing Tiara's phone number.

Long enough the phone just called without any answer so Rosemary had to repeat it many times. He did it long enough until he decided to postpone it.

While in Moscow, which has a 4-hour delay from Jakarta, Tiara has just returned from Steven's study after delivering the documents Lev has given her.

Tiara had no idea her phone was ringing because Steven had banned her employees from bringing cellphones into his study. There is no rule of carrying a mobile phone while doing work.

In front of his desk, Tiara saw Lev standing with a frown that was more worthy of being equated with suspicion. Just as Tiara felt when she saw the object in Lev's hand.

“What are you holding my phone for. Don't you know privacy?” ask Tiara.

“Your phone rang dozens of times making me distracted. Who's been calling you dozens of times,” asked Lev angrily.

Tiara looked at Lev sharply. What right Lev to be angry. They were in close contact but did not make Lev entitled to know who he was related to. Didn't he also never want to know with whom Lev finished his salary?

Without speaking, Tiara took her phone out of Lev's hand and looked at the foreign number that was not stored on her phone.

“I don't know whose number this is, but from the region code it is seen that this is the number from Indonesia,” Tiara replied.

Lev noticed Tiara's changing, though subtle, attitude. What Tiara already knew about Indonesia and why her face looked gloomy.

“What's up? Why look at that number you're moody. Does that number mean anything to you?” tease Lev.

“I don't know your problem, Lev. But, Indonesia is where I come from,” replied Tiara.

“You are from Indonesia? Why do I never know?” Lev muttered.

Are there still many secrets of Tiara that he does not know? Lev considered Tiara to be from the Philippines or Malaysia. Never once did Lev think Tiara's home country was Indonesia.

“In my CV printed clearly I am from Indonesia even though I have not set foot in the country for a long time. Is there a problem and why are you so surprised?” ask Tiara.

Lev silent. He should not be suspicious of Tiara. He was surprised to see the phone number coming from Indonesia thinking Tiara was investigating him and that the mistreatment on Lev's face again made Tiara suspicious.

“What happened in Indonesia? And why does Lev look agitated?” think Tiara.

“No problem. I don't want you to pay too much attention to others while your work is taking up your time,” replied Lev.

Evades. Lev decides to dodge from Tiara suspiciously. Although Tiara's status was only her secretary but Lev was very confident in the influence Tiara had as her father's former secretary, Tiara certainly knew who she should contact if she wanted information.

“Have you had lunch?” ask Lev.

However, Lev did not immediately get an answer because Tiara focused on his phone.

“Who called me so many times. I just gave this number to Sion, did he contact me, then what for?”

Tiara pensively thought of the phone call until she did not hear Lev's voice and returned, Lev getting impatient and taking Tiara's phone and putting it on the table.

Tiara shook her head. He will call him back but later after Lev is not with him.

“You want lunch where?” ask Tiara.

“Around here only,” replied Lev sulking.

“Serah.”

They leave the office without knowing Steven's assistant trust saw him and report it to Steven Maxim Grigory.

Steven's face that was more rigid than friendly increasingly showed his cold attitude to know where his son went and with whom.

“I made a mistake by sending Tiara as Lev's secretary. Should I pull Tiara back and put her in another company?”

“Do not do. You don't have to interfere in Lev's relationship. Let her make her own choices,” scolds Stacie, the woman she married 33 years ago.

“I have never interfered with her relationship with the women, but not with Tiara. Do you know how old Tiara is? He's only been different for a few years from you? I don't know why he should be interested in a woman whose age is no longer young,” complains Steven.

“What do you see me? Tell me do you still have the same feelings for me after decades of our being together?” stacie asked her husband.

“What I see you is something that drives me crazy and can't look away. My feelings from the first time we met until now have been unmeasurable and equated with anything. But why do you have to ask like that?”

“I'm sure Lev saw a different one on Tiara. He probably likes the maturity of Tiara. Is it wrong that she likes him?”

“Solntse (Sun in Russian that can be interpreted affectionately).”

“Let Lev know the feelings he has. I'm sure he just wants to feel different,” Stacie suggested to Steven.

Rejecting the advice of the woman he cares about the most and protects Steven won't do openly. For a while he would follow Sarah Stacie to let and watch Lev and Tiara. Although in his own heart will never agree his son related let alone to marry a woman who is 17 years older than Lev.

Returning to Tiara who was enjoying lunch with Lev, he began to be uncomfortable with Lev's attitude being done openly.

Although Tiara usually did not care but faced so many eyes looking at him sharply, enough to make him disturbed.

“Do I have to ask why again?” lev's reprimand is disturbed because Tiara is more silent and does not care about him.

“How about if our relationship returns to the relationship between the company leader and his employees,” asked Tiara.

Slowly Lev placed his fork and steak knife on the plate then looked at Tiara sharply.

“Is there something wrong with this relationship? You're my employee and I've never considered him more. If you want a change, you definitely don't work with me anymore.”

Tiara gasps. He did not expect Lev's answer. Before he started talking again the sound of incoming messages was heard from his phone and he immediately picked up the phone and saw the incoming messages.

Tiara at first was just reading, but when she realized who was sending the message, her face suddenly turned pale to attract the attention of Lev who was still angry because of Tiara's words.

“What's up with Tiara, why she always manages to make me unable to get angry,” thought Lev kept watching Tiara's face.

Curious and curious is so great in Lev's heart but he has to be patient as Tiara seems to be replying to messages from anyone who has already sent a message to his number.
