One week later.
"Don't do that!"
"Lalis' sister. For a month she suffered because her brother had not been found. While we know where her brother is, should you and I just shut up?" Great high tones started to come out.
Willie knows that Lalis is suffering. Because Kevin Joul will not give the girl a coma easily. Kevin Joul could have spoiled Great now, but he couldn't give what he had.
"Obviously we are never cruel without coercion" Willie briefly and coldly replied.
This director's office continues to be where they speak most often than the Great's residence. Willie will not stay long in the country. He returned only to observe the work that would be launched in the country.
"You know that, why it's so hard to support me to do this." Great sitting back.
Willie stared intently at Great and turned around to leave. "I won't support you. Just do what you want," he said.
Great surprised. His best friend had a different belief in him for the first time. Actually how serious this problem was until Willie said that Kevin Joul would be furious if the woman in the coma was detached from him.
Great seemed to be holding back his anger. His hands clenched hard.
Great had thought about it maturely. Unable to resist Lalis' insistence, Great thought that he would take Bora Kirei from his father even though his father was not finished with his affairs with Lalis' older brother.
Not because of the pressure alone, Great could not see someone he loved continue to be burdened with his brother. Especially because of her brother, Lalis could not focus on anything.
Every day Lalis would ask and expect if Great found any trace of her brother.
Meanwhile, Lalis is working on what she has to do in the team room with her co-workers.
"Lalis," said Jovi suddenly.
Lalis.
"Lately you have been seen with Mr. Great" said Jovi.
Team members including the head of the marketing team stare back at Lalis, making Lalis uncomfortable with their gaze.
"No. I think you're wrong" replied Lalis.
"That's it, huh?" Jovi.
"But since you've been working here, Mr. Great has been eating out a lot. Even yesterday I saw him having breakfast in the cafeteria" Selia said.
"Ah- yesterday instead of Lalis having breakfast in the cafeteria as well," Veronika continued.
Lalis felt cornered even though only two people were talking about her with Great.
"What is that, Lalis?" ask Kenya with an intimidating look.
"No. Maybe we are coincidences" replied Lalis.
"Stop cornering Lalis like that. He could be distracted because of you. Mr. Great is not just anyone who can approach foreign women" said Bu Saka who was always their last conversation.
They're back at work.
Until finally the break arrived. They will usually eat at the cafe in front of the office. It's not an obligation but they will be compact about something like this. They are a high solidarity team. The marketing team is the best team in the company.
"It is impossible for the company to do a massive discount" said Bu Saka.
"But why not try? we can make a report for that" asked Kenya.
"Massive discounts can invite many customers to the market" said Veronika.
"I don't agree. There will be a lot of fans, but only for a moment. If the discount is over, the chances of the fans will decrease. When our market price goes up, many people may not stop by unless the product is already well-known" said Jovi.
"Isn't that what we mean. Hold a massive discount so that unsold items become sold," added Lalis.
"But this brand has not been famous enough since the scandal" Jovi continued.
"The company has made a statement and clarified that the rumor is not true" Lalis replied.
"Rumors are very powerful for people to remember. You yourself get rumors and employees who know you can't forget them. Bad rumors will be remembered even if you're good,"
Jovi becomes outrageous after not accepting because Lalis keeps answering her remarks. Because of Lalis' confidence, Jovi got a little upset. How unhappy is Jovi to Lalis?
"Jovi, Lalis shut up! Continue eating you. I wouldn't agree with that idea. I will think of something else," concluded Bu Saka.
The others were silent as the audience as Lalis and Jovi argued.
"They insist on each other's thoughts" Veronika whispered into Seila's ears.
"Sst," timpal Selia.
"I'll pick up the phone first" Lalis said.
Once in the toilet, Lalis picked up the phone from Great.
"Hello" said Lalis.
^^^"I put one bottle of vitamin on the desk. Don't forget to drink, it's good for the body" Great said.^^^
"Yes, I'll drink later. It was a long time ago, yeah,"
^^^"Don't close first. I can give you extra time off if you're distracted."^^^
"No, there's no need. Anything else I want to say?"
^^^"No. It's just that I miss,"^^^
Great had already completely drunk his love Lalis. Though they often meet, cross paths and often even sit together at night. Great can feel less.
"Why Mr. Great misses me, are we not often together at night" said Lalis.
^^^"Still less for me. I told you to move to my room, "^^
"No. Jemin is still too childish. He needs someone to take care of him."
^^^"Yes already. But don't be mad that I'll be in your room a lot."^^^
^^^"It was a long time ago, yes."^^^
"In a moment, sir." Lalis prevented Great from hanging up.
^^^"Why?"^^^
"That, the person who harmed my sister and mother .. never showed up again. Not that I'm looking forward to, but-"
^^^"Forget that bad thing. Don't be afraid and don't think that you're alone" Great concluded.^^^
Great actually doesn't feel good hiding this. But because he had harassed Lalis, he had to intervene to handle Jey Gwart. Great could not say that Jey Gwart was in his hands, he did not want Lalis to know that he interfered in the first place.
"alright. Close it first, yeah. See you later,"
After the call was closed, Lalis intended to return to her dining table at the cafe. But he came to a halt and was shocked as someone stood behind him likely since then.
Lalis was caught red-handed. Is that a sad look or hate? why are her eyes glazed over?
"Ke-Kenya. Since when are you here?"
"Since you said that you guys always spend the night together" replied Kenya.
"You hear everything?" lalis asked nervously.
"You two are dating?" ask Kenya.
"No. We're not dating" Lalis argued.
"Lali spent the night with it-"
"No. You misunderstand me, I didn't spend the night with Mr. Great" Lalis said.
Kenyan tears are starting to fall. It was fitting that he had never seen Great, it turned out that the person Great liked was Lalis. He really liked Great.
"You should know that I like Mr. Great. You should be self-aware of your position" replied Kenya.
"Why are you talking like that?" ask Lalis.
"Why do you have to deal with your fellow women,?" continued Kenya.
"I really didn't know that you liked Mr. Great" Lalis said.
"Now you know. Can you back off, let me go forward,"
Lalis felt guilty but she did not want to be separated from Great.
"Didn't you have a boyfriend. Are you cheating?" ask Kenya.b
"No. You misunderstood me," Lalis denied.
Lalis fell silent at the Kenyan sobbing. Did he do anything bad for making another girl cry. As well as the girl was right, Lalis had a boyfriend but she was close to Great.
"If you understand, back off!" said Kenya.
