Helena ran from the parking lot to the elevator. But the elevator had just moved up when she arrived. And it would take quite a long time if she waited until the elevator came back down.

Fortunately, she uses flat shoes and does not carry a laptop today. Helena quickly decides to use the stairs.

Helena has calculated the time very well. She was late by one minute, and waiting for the elevator could take about three to five minutes. That means she will not get additional time compensation.

Helena immediately ran towards the emergency exit without spending more time just thinking about where the emergency stairs were located.

"Good Morning Helena.” A janitor greeted Helena.

"Good morning Mrs. Rini's. I went up first."

"Sure, but always watch your step," said the janitor to Helena, who began to walk up.

Helena stepped quickly. Not infrequently, she even climbed two stairs at once to go up.

Despite being in a hurry, Helena still watches her steps well. Because if she is careless, then the

    When only two of them were in the elevator, Helena asked the waiter. "By the way, can I know your name?""My name is Rian, then what about you?"

When she saw the man take the porridge without stirring it first, Helena told Bastian."Should I stir it?" Bastian asked with a confused expression. He never stirred porridge before eating it all this time."Right, I told you there is a raw egg. You should stir it, Sir. Don't be stubborn!" Helena irritably as she stirred her own porridge. "Do you want me to stir it with my mouth-used spoon?" Helena asked about Bastian."You don't have to. I have mine." Bastian rejected Helena's ignorant offer. Because he knew that Helena was just playing him. Bastian responded. "Are you my couple so have to help me stir it?" Bastian teased Helena. His words refer to Helena's offer earlier."That's right," Helena replied casually.Bastian raised his eyebrows spontaneously. Helena's words had shocked him.

    “What are you doing here, sir?”Helena looked grim when she saw people she knew, especially since they hadn’t interacted as usual for a few days.“Why?” Instead of answering, Bastian threw Helena a question.“Why do you even ask? That should be my question!” Helena exclaimed unacceptably.Sitting in front of Helena, Rian became an intermediate wall between Bastian and Helena, who looked at each other. Instead of a look of affection or falling in love, Helena threw a death glare. At the same time, Bastian looks like holding back the ticklish.“This is a public cafe, Helena. I came here because I wanted to buy coffee,” said Bastian, who finally gave up and chose to answer Helena’s question earlier. “And who would have thought that I would meet you here on DATING,” Bastian said by pressing the word ‘dating.’“We are not dating!” Helena replied, straightening Bastian’s speech.

    “Hey, it’s okay..” Unsuur berusaha menenangkan pembangun. Sekalipun perasaan getir menggaung dalam hatinya. Respon pembangun menjelaskan bahwa dia telah melupakan segala hal yang terjadi semalam setelah muntah. Begitu juga dengan ciuman singkat mereka.‘Memang apa yang aku harapkan? Dia hanya mabuk bukannya menanggapi dengan serius.’“Unsuur.”“Yeah...”Pembangun menunduk. Meski begitu, Unsuur dapat menemukan semburat rona yang menjalar dari wajah hingga telinga pembangun. Dia tengah bersemu. Tetapi keheningan ini membuat Unsuur merasa gelisah. Kalau-kalau pembangun malah mengingat hal yang tak mengenakan. Seperti...“Semalam, entah kenapa aku merasakan sesuatu yang lembut menempel di bibirku.”BADUM!“Kau yakin?”Pembangun mengedikkan bahu. “Entahlah... tak begitu yakin.”“Jika merasa tak enak, lebih baik lupakan saja.”“Tapi –”“Makanlah bubur itu, setelah itu akan ku antar kau pulang.”Dan Unsuur keluar dari kamar, meninggalkan pembangun di dalam kamarnya.‘Semestaku terhisap luban

    Pembangun menggeleng, hidungnya menggesek tengkuk Unsuur, membuat Unsuur merinding seketika. “Rasanya sangat bosan menari tanpamu.”“Lalu, kau mau bagaimana?”Pembangun terkekeh kecil. “Menarilah bersamaku~”“Tapi aku tak pandai menari.”Pembangun melepaskan pelukannya, menjadikan Unsuur menoleh ke belakang untuk meringankan rasa penasarannya. Kini pembangun berwajah masam, kecewa atas sikap Unsuur yang menolak ajakannya. Tetapi alih-alih merasa ketakutan, Unsuur justru mengulum senyum. ‘Dia sangat menggemaskan~’ Unsuur membatin.“Ayo lah... biarkan aku mengajarimu caranya menari~”“Tapi –”Sebelum Unsuur menolak, pembangun sudah menarik tangannya. Dan Unsuur hanya bisa pasrah ketika dibawa ke tengah-tengah lantai dansa. Pandangannya terfokus ke arah tautan tangan mereka. Jari-jemari lembut pembangun menggenggam tangannya. Melihat itu membuat Unsuur menjadi lumayan tenang. Mungkinkah ini kekuatan cinta?“Ikuti saja musiknya.”Unsuur menelengkan kepala ke musik berasal. Kini lagu berte
