Brian arrived in front of his house. The gate opened slowly. Tiredness began to set in when Brian turned off the car engine. The man took a deep breath then got out of the car and walked towards the stairs connected to the lounge.
Alessia greeted Brian with a happy smile, but then the girl's smile disappeared when she saw the blood stain on the corner of the man's lips.
"Oh my God. You're bleeding," Alessia exclaimed.
Brian ignored him, just walked towards the sofa, and landed his butt there. Alessia followed without asking but was worried to see him.
“I'll get the medicine box. Wait here," said the girl and immediately got up to look for the medicine box.
Brian's eyes were closed, his body felt so tired but comfortable from sitting on the soft sofa.
Alessia returned not long after with a medicine box and a glass of cold water for her master. Brian acce
The two remained silent after distancing themselves. Both Brian and Alessia became nervous and embarrassed. Brian even felt embarrassed in the corner of the sofa. The man was struggling in his heart, between justifying his actions and blaming her.Not much different from Brian, Alessia also looks embarrassed. The girl bit her lower lip in embarrassment."Oh my God. This is so embarrassing. What have I done?" Brian thought to himself as he closed his eyes. "Oh come on."They didn't speak for a while, still busy with each other, arguing with their hearts and minds over the incident."That -""Yes?" Alessia answered spontaneously then looked away again.It was clear that Brian was surprised by Alessia's spontaneity and Brian didn't even say anything."Sorry," the girl said quietly while avoiding him."Oh no. I should be the one apologizing. I just got carried away," said Brian in a low tone.Alessia didn't say anything.“In my opinion… it doesn't affect the contract. Let's just say I was
After falling asleep again and crying in the middle of the night, Brian woke up again that morning. His eyes opened slowly, and the morning light visible from behind the thin curtains greeted him. Brian took a long, deep breath and then moved slowly.Brian lay on his back on his bed and focused his attention on the ceiling again, and again it had become a habit for Brian to daydream.“Mother, I miss you. But Mom can rest easy there now because I'm no longer in trouble. However, do you know who the Secret is?” Brian said silently.After lying in bed for a while, Brian realized that he hadn't changed his clothes at all, let alone showered. Brian had just fallen asleep last night and woke up in the middle of the night only to cry sadly about missing his mother.While sitting down, Brian sighed again, the memory of Brian kissing Alessia flashed back into his mind making Brian feel embarrassed
Brian carried his backpack from his room to the study after finishing breakfast with Alessia. This afternoon Brian has class until the afternoon.Sit in the workroom chair where Brian will study or complete his assignments. The man just realized that there was an internship notification letter from his lecturer. Brian read the contents.“Kent's again?” Brian's brow furrowed when he read the name of the company where he would be interning.What was wrong with the company that made Brian feel tied down? Not only in the instructions,- but also in the notification letter from the campus.“What's wrong with this company? I feel motivated to find out more about unusual things," said Brian, looking at the sheet of paper.A knock on the door distracted Brian. The man said that Alessia could come in.Alessia put a glass of water on the table. His attention was focused on Brian who was still staring at the sheet of paper in his hand."What are you looking at? Very serious," said Alessia."This
After hearing Professor Kailla's words, Brian can now feel relieved and go home in peace. Starting tomorrow, Brian is free to go to campus or not because it is his last moment before he is busy with his internship.Brian's feelings were mixed, between happy and nervous. Brian was starting to forget there was a possibility of interference. At least what Professor Kailla said made Brian's worries disappear.Along the way home, Brian hummed in the car which was occasionally stuck in traffic because currently, people had just returned from their daily activities to rest.“Should I just go to dinner?” Brian thought it just crossed his mind. "Invite Alessia too?"Brian turned his attention to the right and left, the road was almost filled with vehicles stopped at red lights. On the side of the road, there are many buildings, shops, and entertainment venues. Brian looks for what might interest him.The number on the red light is still on. Brian contacted Alessia, hoping the girl wasn't cooki
Brian tried to ignore the commotion they caused by laughing mockingly at Brian. In their eyes, is Brian still someone who was born poor until the end of his life?Brian's attention was diverted to Alessia who remained calm. The girl even folded her arms in front of her chest while leaning her back on the chair. Brian felt strange seeing the girl's unusual pose.Calvin's men continue to mock Brian, saying inappropriate things, and even criticizing Brian for being impotent. What either of them said was too much, right?“How can anyone criticize without knowing what happened? True or false?" Alessia's mouth said calmly.All eyes were now on the girl, including Brian.Alessia's eyes turned to Calvin's men, noting their presence one by one. Even though Alessia might not know their names, the girl seemed to notice the strange faces there.“Hey beautiful lady, who are you that you speak as if defending him? Do you know anything about poor Handsome Brian?” said one of the men again causing la
"I want to order vanilla dessert to take home," said Brian at the cashier to pay for the dish they ate earlier. “Medium size,” Brian continued."Yes sir. Please wait a moment," said the cashier then went to the back to convey Brian's order.Brian's expression was flat, his gaze blank. Alessia peeked at the man's face from the front."Your aura is unpleasant, Brian," commented Alessia.Brian's eyes turned to the girl."Sorry, I'm just saying." Alessia straightened herself again and waited."This is your order, sir," said the cashier as he placed the package on the table.Brian didn't say anything, just gave him the card to pay, then signed, thanked him, and left. The dessert package that Brian ordered was brought by Alessia.They're in the parking lot now. Brian declined the girl's offer to drive. Brian did
Nervousness seemed to overtake Brian. Many times the man swallowed hard as he looked at his reflection in the mirror in his room. A black suit with a white shirt wrapped around his athletic body, making his appearance look stunning and perfect.He took a deep breath for the umpteenth time, but it didn't help Brian's nervousness at all. I don't know what's wrong with his confidence now, suddenly it's gone."Come on, I can do it," said Brian encouragingly to himself.His attention was drawn to the clock on the wall, it was almost eight o'clock."I could be late," said Brian again and immediately grabbed the backpack that was waiting.Brian's office time was eight o'clock in the morning, and he finished in the afternoon.Brian went down the stairs and met Alessia who seemed to be looking for Brian.“You're almost late. Don't you want breakfast?" asked the girl."I don't know, I'm not hungry at all. Maybe because I'm nervous," answered Brian."Okay. Do you want me to take you or take your
Brian is now sitting at his cubicle table after being introduced to several teams. Brian was placed in the accounting division to handle the company's bookkeeping and finances. The accounting team's job is to examine and verify the company's financial transactions, carry out recording and documentation, and be responsible for compiling the company's financial reports accurately. Because Brian was on his first day of internship, he only did small things that his superiors ordered, such as providing coffee, drinking water, or whatever he was ordered to do.Brian didn't complain,- but accepted their attitude today because Brian was still new to the office world. So just checking is also a responsibility to look after something important.People were busy with their tasks while Brian was more often looking for things to do than sitting around.The parent company Kent's Group turned out to be bigger than Brian expected. The accounting division was on the fourteenth floor, and it was also q
