"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

The Mission of the Lost Heir 37. You're Amazing, Brian
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
The Mission of the Lost Heir 38. First Day of Intership
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
The Mission of the Lost Heir 39. Sharing Stories on the First Day
Several minutes had passed since working hours, Brian finally came out of the room where the first accounting team was working. After ensuring everything was completed according to the instructions, Brian was finally able to go home. The first day wasn't too tiring because I only did simple things.This company's elevators are transparent so you can see people's activities. It should be quiet for a few minutes, usually fifteen minutes after work. However, it turned out that there were still many people there doing their work until the sun could no longer be seen. Brian knows that they must be working overtime, but why do they do it so often? Almost all divisions. That was Brian's question, who was still in the elevator passing several floors.The cell phone in Brian's jacket pocket rang, Alessia called him and Brian accepted the call.“I'll go down now. Are you in front?" asked Brian."Yes, I'm in front of the lobby," said Alessia by telephone."Okay. Wait a moment," said the man, and

Brian's car stopped in the garage. The man breathed a sigh of relief."Finally here. I'm tired," complained Brian.“Oh yeah, I forgot to ask. Have you had dinner?" Alessia asked before Brian got out of the car.Brian turned his face towards the girl and shook his head slightly."Not yet. I talked too much earlier, didn't I?" Brian said.Alessia smiled slightly.“Do you mind if I cook dinner? I'm a little hungry," Brian admitted.“Oh, of course not. I'll cook it quickly," said the girl."Okay. I'll take a shower while I wait

The Mission of the Lost Heir 42. Sean Willis, Mysterious Secretary
After being silent for a long time in front of the elevator after Sean left, Brian returned to his desk and started working again."What's wrong with you? What do you think?" asked James, whose table was not far from Brian.Brian glanced at the man with glasses.“Hm. I want to know about that secretary. It feels familiar, but this is the first time I've seen it,” Brian admitted.However, Brian's words invited laughter from several members, especially Kattie."Of course, you know him even though it's the first time you've met him," said James. Brian looked at him curiously. "Sean is a secretary who has worked as secretary to the commissioner for more than ten years, carrying out direct orders from the founder of Kent's, and even has the authority to handle all matters relating to the commissioner and the company. Sean goes to the media more often than the commissioner
The Mission of the Lost Heir 43. New Question
Brian was silent with his gaze fixed on the figure walking towards Brian. The figure was still fresh because in his mind there were still questions that Brian wanted to convey but not at this time."Back home?" asked the man while standing right in front of Brian, only two steps away from where Brian was standing."Yes," Brian answered politely,- because, after all, this man was Brian's boss at the company.The smile displayed by that figure was really like the rumors that Brian had heard at his desk earlier.“Why are you alone? Where are the others?” the man asked while looking around the parking lot."They've gone home first," answered Brian."I see," said the man who turned out to be Sean Willis, the commissioner's secretary.Sean's attention returned to Brian who was still standing where he was. Brian's body was also a little stiff, for some reason facing Sean felt a bit difficult for Brian. Is it because it's the first time they've met or because Brian's mind is polluted by Sean'
The Mission of the Lost Heir 44. New Snack
Arriving on the road to his house, Brian leaned over the steering wheel of his car and narrowed his eyes when he saw someone standing in front of the gate with his arms folded in front of his chest. The girl's face turned towards Brian who was smiling.As soon as the car stopped right in front of the girl, Brian saw Alessia's relieved expression who was waiting at the gate. Brian rolled down his window and greeted the girl."What are you doing outside?" Brian asked."Waiting for you. You're late today," said the girl, lowering her body slightly until it was level with Brian's face.A small smile appeared on the man's lips."Come in, I'm home. "It's cold outside," said Brian.Alessia nodded and followed Brian behind the car to get in together.The night did look darker than before, occasionally lights appeared in the sky as if it was going to rain. Lightning flashed and was followed by thunder. Luckily, Brian had arrived home when raindrops began to fall on the ground.Getting out of t

For a long time, he was silent in the room with his reflection in the mirror. The big event finally took place tonight, at one of the five-star hotels owned by the Kent Group. Brian looked at his reflection in the mirror. Everything was ready, and he looked perfect in a navy suit, Brian let his hair a little messy to make an impression, after all, that was his style. His watch was on, and so were his shoes."Let's go, Young Master," said Kiara, peeking at Brian from behind his bedroom door. The girl's smile always seduced him.Brian turned around,- and nodded.Kiara welcomed Brian, hugged the man's arm affectionately, and even laughed happily as she walked down the stairs in a long-sleeved, knee-length navy dress, just like Brian. Manda didn't want her daughter to show off her curves so she designed a dress that was closed but elegant. Kiara looked like a princess with her black hair neatly styled and decorated with beautiful hairpins.Everyone was waiting for him in the living room.

163. The Effect of Sorry
Is everything finished now? I don't think so. There were still disturbing feelings in Brian's heart.“Even so, I remained by his side. Because honestly, I liked Miles the first time I saw him. But, he was cold,- and didn't care about the meeting at all. I know that he has someone he loves. Jealousy got the best of me, making me think of crazy things to separate them."Brian's heart ached when he heard Miles' confession. How bad is jealousy if it gets out of control? Is it that difficult to endure, and get rid of that feeling of jealousy? Brian didn't know, but it was something everyone had.“Miles didn't know anything, neither did Chintia, and I was the one who separated them. For some reason, I wanted to meet you,- and say this. To be honest, the feeling of guilt after Miles died in an accident because of my uncle made me unable to calm down. Then, I heard a rumor that Miles had a child. Of course, the child wasn't with me, because Miles never touched me.”A feeling of relief envelop

162. Jennifer's Confession
Seeing that the girl was busy, Brian's thoughts began to wander, and his heartbeat increased even more. For the first time, Brian felt such a strong urge within himself."Is that okay?" Brian asked in his heart.Occasionally the man glanced at Alessia's smiling face. He still seemed happy because Sean already had a girlfriend, which meant Alessia would have a sister-in-law. Brian doesn't understand, but Brian seems to have to admit that Sean is great,- and unexpected. Even though they had often been together, they had never seen a man with a woman."They're not dressed." Brian blinked his eyelids even more.What is the meaning of that thought?"I am done. Would you like a snack tonight?” Alessia offered while drying her hands and looking at Brian who remained silent.For some reason, the lighting behind the girl became dazzling, making Alessia even more charming. Are the hormones in Brian's body active? Oh, wherever Brian is, he doesn't seem to feel any hormonal fluctuations.“Bryan?”

161. Other Things from Sean
After Azil conveyed this to Brian, Brian's doubts about his father shook his heart, but he couldn't change his decision. For several days, Brian decided to stay in the house that Miles gave him. Arnold didn't mind it either because Brian needed to calm down.That question filled Brian's mind and heart again. What was his father's reason for sleeping with another woman? Is it still appropriate for Brian to call Miles his father? I don't know, Brian doubts it.The house is still the same because someone always comes to clean. Brian also comes occasionally. Brian won't be able to leave that house, maybe one day he will decide there, rather than Arnold's big house.“I will prepare for tonight. Do you want something?" Alessia asked as usual. The girl also accompanied Brian."Whatever you cook," Brian answered.Alessia just nodded and went to the kitchen to make dinner.For several days together at home, Brian was just silent, occasionally reviewing material for his campus trial which would

"I don't believe it. Brother Miles can't do something embarrassing like that. He must have been framed. That's right, he must have been framed," said Manda hysterically, not believing what she saw.Brian couldn't say anything, neither did Azil, even Liam who tried to calm Manda."Who's he?" Brian finally asked.But Azil was silent and shook his head."Jenifer, you may have heard of it," Liam said in response to Brian's question.Brian's eyes moved, the woman who had an arranged marriage with Miles but was rejected,- was close to Brian's father,- and was involved in Miles' accident.Brian didn't say anything now,- and cupped his face with his palms. Closed his eyes, let the clear and salty liquid fall from his eyelids, and cried silently. Brian's heart ached, why could this happen? His poor mother.Manda is still crying regretting her ignorance in the past. What happened, whether true or otherwise? Brian doesn't know, but now the question is why his mother left after trying to survive

“You can continue, don't mind Manda. We will still listen even if it hurts,” Liam said to Azil.Even though he was a little hesitant, seeing Brian waiting made Azil nod his head.“I insisted not to ask what the reason was. But, I secretly went back to town to find out,- and also told Miles. However, what do I get? Just hate and hurt when I see Miles with a woman, even though he looks so happy," said Azil.Azil's facial expression changed to anger, but that was only for a moment. After taking a deep breath, we continued the story.“I came back,- but didn't say anything to Sis Chintia. However, I understand the reason for making a sudden decision, and not even explaining anything. The heartache of being betrayed by a woman is like the end of everything. I understood Sis Chintia's decision,- and decided to leave, even hide. Sis Chintia probably thought that by disappearing, Miles would be happy.""That's not true," muttered Manda. “We have never been happier since then,” he continued, so

"So, I think it's time for you to find out what happened to your mother," said Azil.Brian automatically straightened up when he heard Azil involve his mother in the story he was going to tell."Mother?" Brian assured Azil that he had heard correctly."Yes, your mother, Chintia," repeated Azil, looking at Brian. "I came to tell you the reason why Sis Chintia chose to leave your father and hide herself," continued the man.Brian's eyelids moved slowly. When Brian started to no longer want to know about the past, and the reasons why his mother chose to give up after maintaining the relationship with all her might. But when Brian tried not to care, and decided not to know, someone came, claiming to know the reason."What has happened?" Brian asked in a weak voice.Brian's chest was now rumbling, there was a feeling of tightness touching his chest. What might Brian have heard from Azil about his mother making secret decisions?Azil sighed, focusing his gaze on Brian who was waiting to hea

Brian's busy life is always the same, studying, practicing, and working. Spending time doing many things doesn't make him feel bored, the man is enthusiastic about continuing. If no one reminded him to rest, Brian would drown in his busy life.Alessia is like a living alarm for Brian, the girl reminds Brian when it's time to rest, have lunch or dinner, and when he should go to bed early and wake up. Even though the distance between them has now widened, attention and affection have never diminished, on the contrary.That afternoon Brian had just come out of Arnold's study which he usually used for studying. A text message came to Brian's cell phone.[I came to visit, are you free?]Ask for a text message from Azil.Brian immediately responded with a telephone call,- and asked if Uncle Azil would come.“Yes, I came to visit,” answered Azil.“Where is Uncle now? I'll pick you up," said Brian."No need. "I've arrived," said Azil."Here?" Brian turned around and looked for his uncle."Yes

Brian threw himself on the living room sofa, there was no one there. Brian was tired even though he didn't do much work."Being the center of attention is tiring," Brian muttered with a sigh."Why?"Brian turned to where the voice came from. Manda appeared out of nowhere with a jar of snacks in her hand,- and a cup of drink that was still steaming. The afternoon is perfect for spending time with a cup of warm drink.Straightened his body and sat down. Brian watched his aunt put cups and jars on the table and then looked at Brian.“What are you mumbling about, Brian?” Manda asked curiously.However, Brian was silent and Manda did not demand that Brian say it."You have to be able to handle it," said Manda after taking the television remote and changing the channel. "When it's finished, you'll get used to it, and after that maybe you won't care," continued Manda as if he knew what Brian was muttering.If Manda knows, why ask? Brian thought his aunt's attitude was a little strange.“I'm
