Pavel let out a long sigh. Why was that man always present everywhere? What did Charles really want?"Why are you looking at me like that?" Charles asked casually while propping up his chin. He had his right leg folded over his left, while the smile showed a clear mockery in Pavel's eyes. Looking back, Pavel had been troubled since Charles' arrival. Granted it was related to the mission, but with Charles attached to he and Parsha everywhere, it made he feel uncomfortable. Moreover, until now the system could not identify who Charles really was. "I can sit here, right?" He said it as if he really needed Pavel's permission. Pavel was about to answer, but Parsha interrupted first and asked in a whispered voice, a little full of emphasis. "Why are you here?!"Charles answered with a shrug and a smile. Ignoring the two men, he then set his eyes on the performance stage. The show was starting. Several dancers in traditional attire appeared and performed mesmerizing acts on the sta
The sound of DJ music plays softly in Pavel's ears. He couldn't take his eyes off Bella who was serving him. She had a friendly look on her face, a very typical expression for a female waitress. However, there was something that made this woman a little different from the others. According to Pavel's assessment, Bella is not a woman who is easily attracted to the opposite sex. There were only two possibilities, Bella already had a lover, or she specifically disliked men. Not to be arrogant or anything, but so far wherever Pavel went there were definitely women who were interested in him. There are even those who are not ashamed to flirt openly or even to invite Pavel to sleep together.Bella's hand movements look very dexterous, but it does not reduce the tenderness and thoroughness in every change of motion that she takes. Flexible fingers add a graceful impression in every service provided.The woman smiled. "Do you need anything else?"Analyzing in silence for too long, Pavel w
The atmosphere became awkward between them. Bella didn't show any defensive gestures, but seeing her gaze made Pavel pull back his hand. "What about the cake?" asked Pavel to break the ice. Bella nodded slowly and smiled. "It was delicious. Thank you for treating me." "Eat as much as you like. You can also drink wine." Pavel realized the meaning of the woman's gaze. "Let's just say that now is your rest time." He shrugged both shoulders. For a moment Bella looked reluctant, her movements becoming awkward as she was asked to be other than her bar tender and waitress. Her expertise is indeed in the work she has been doing for quite some time. The elegance she possesses is also not just present, but rather due to the training and habits that are part of the demands of the job. Again, this one customer's request was also one of the demands of the job to remain professional. Bella finally poured the wine into her own glass. Slowly she downed it, just one sip, she didn't want to ge
They danced for quite a while, lost in the romantic atmosphere and music. It wasn't just them who were immersed in this euphoria, everyone else seemed to be enjoying it too. The music changed from romantic to more upbeat. Bella glanced around at the she who was changing her dance moves to be faster and more energetic, as if the music was permeating every bone in the people's bodies. Bella, who is new to the world of dance, can only stare in confusion and envy. She was new to the idea that dancing would be so much fun. She was too busy with work that never aged and thought little of having fun. "What's wrong?" asked Pavel. He also shifted his gaze to the direction where Bella was staring. She just smiled and shook her head. "Do you want to dance like them?""No, I don't. That lesson was enough. Let's just dance like-" Bella's eyeballs widened. Her balance weakened as someone suddenly bumped into her back. It was too fast for Bella to stop herself from falling, and it was Paul who
Pavel was completely stuck. He didn't find Parsha anywhere despite spending a lot of time combing all over the place. Pavel returned to the room to rest himself because he was too tired. However, his mind and heart could not escape Parsha. Could it be that she left because she was angry to see him with another woman? Is Parsha that angry to disappear and leave no trace at all a question mark especially since she left with Charles. Pavel was the body on the bed with a completely stuck mind.'Do you know where Parsha is at the moment?'[The system could not track her.]'Is the system still having problems until now?'[No information could be obtained about Parsha's whereabouts.] Pavel let out a rough breath. He did not know what else to do. Because he was too tired, he slowly closed his eyes. However, not more than 2 seconds later the system gave him a mission again. Pavel wanted to complain, but remembered that there was currently no time to do so because there were still many
'What is this necklace for?'[You will find out later.]After leaving the gold shop, Pavel thought of Parsha. He didn't know where she was until now. Instead of returning to the room Pavel looked elsewhere to find Parsha. He believes that the woman might be in one place accidentally avoiding him or for other reasons. It was that other reason that made Pavel feel worried. While exploring every place on the cruise ship, Pavel tried to dial Parsha's phone number. Many times he did so but all he heard was the operator's voice saying that the woman's cell phone was inactive. If it was like this Pavel could not feel calm, thinking that something unwanted might happen to Parsha.Pavel walked to the side area of the ship and there was a mini golf course. Who knows Parsha is there. The place still looked quite quiet and there were only a few people warming up or just chatting. However, in one corner of the place there was a figure that Pavel recognized. Charles was practicing swinging a g
Bella let out a harsh sigh. "I hope you guys really stop or I'll kick you out!" She didn't want to make other customers feel uncomfortable just because of these two men's quarrel. Moreover, it might invite other problems such as a reprimand from her boss. Saying Bella's threat, both of them stopped. Vincent released his grip on Pavel's shirt and sat back down. Likewise with Pavel, he tried to ignore the man. His only goal was Bella. Just as he was about to sit down, his gaze accidentally caught the figure he had been looking for. "Parsha?" he murmured. Parsha walked closer to the man. Pavel averted his eyes for a moment, feeling insecure about Parsha's sudden presence like this. Not that he was unhappy, in fact Pavel was relieved that Parsha seemed fine. However, not in a place and circumstances like this. Although surprised and a little worried, Pavel did not show it with an expression. "Why do you like to pick fights with others?" That was Parsha's first sentence of greeting.
After thinking for a long time, Pavel decided to go after Parsha. Before that, he said to Bella. "Can you wait for me? I'll be right back." Not needing an answer from the woman, Pavel immediately moved from there.Pavel felt the need to set the record straight with Parsha. The reason for her disappearance was obvious: due to jealousy, he was worried that Parsha would do the same this time. Pavel didn't see her in the bar, and when she came out there was no trace of Parsha. He let out a long sigh. "Not again," he muttered. Hoping Parsha had not gone too far and was still within the distance and place he could reach. He widened his footsteps and increased his speed. Pavel looked around, then he saw the silhouette of a woman who had just turned to the right of the hallway. Immediately he ran while calling Parsha's name. "Parsha!" There was no answer, not even a turn of the head. Pavel widened his stride then pulled Parsha's hand until she stopped. "Kai didn't hear me calling you?
