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
Brian's daily activities are now different, no longer as free as before. Now Brian has a schedule to go to the office from Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday are off. That's what Brian knows. So every morning Brian gets ready to go to the office and carry out his internship program. Occasionally Brian goes to campus to report or just chat with his supervisor for consultations and so on.It's been more than a week since the first day he entered the big company that many people dream of. Brian has started to get used to it and discovered many unusual things. Amid his busy life, Brian discovered the reason why many employees work overtime, even on weekends they still work, even though they should be on holidays.Miles Kentinx, or son of Arnold Kentinx, died five years ago. Miles becomes the only hope to take control of the company because Manda refuses to replace his older brother and prefers another job. Arnold is now old and often sick, so the directors take advantage of this to do
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
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'
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
Brian was full after tasting the two cupcakes that Alessia made. The rain continued to fall on the city, making the air colder as the night wore on. Fatigue made Brian close his eyes. He had no intention of sleeping in the living room, but his eyes were difficult to open, and his body seemed to have no strength."You have to move to your room," Alessia's voice even sounded faintly in Brian's ears, who was already half asleep."I'm sleepy," answered Brian in a muffled voice.There was a small laugh from the girl which made it difficult for Brian to open his heavy eyelids. Alessia was still in her usual chair watching him.Brian sighed.“I'll sleep here for a while. Don't wake me," Brian said again in a low voice."Okay. Get some rest," said Alessia, whose voice Brian could still hear.Brian nodded his head in response then after that everything went dark, his eyelids could no longer open, and Brian fell asleep comfortably on the sofa. The sound of rain and the roar of thunder and light
Still silent in his place, Brian's attention was focused on Alessia's face, who was still sleeping. His mind wandered, replaying his dreams in memories that brought new questions. Who is that faceless figure?"Why is he waiting for me?" Brian asked quietly. "Who he is?" he continued to mumble.The curiosity in Brian's heart and mind grew bigger. Supposedly, when one problem is resolved a new problem arises, but in Brian's case other problems have not been resolved, and new problems appear and pile up which could put pressure on Brian.For a long time, the man just remained silent where he was. It was still three in the morning, but he no longer felt sleepy. The dream that Brian experienced drove away his drowsiness completely.Taking a deep breath, Brian turned his attention to his surroundings and only then noticed the blanket covering his body.“She always does this,” Brian said.Alessia always protects Brian when he falls asleep in the television room. However, this was the first t
Brian's face rose when the door to his study opened after several knocks. Alesia's face appeared from between the slightly opened doors."It turns out you're here, Brian," said the girl.Brian didn't respond, instead, he glanced at the small clock on the table and was surprised to see that the hour hand showed fifteen past six, then Brian looked back to make sure it was morning.Alessia walked over to him as Brian looked confused.“Since when are you here?” asked the girl.Brian's attention was focused on Alessia. Her hair was a little messy, her face was not much different from someone who had just woken up from sleep, and even her pajamas with cute cats on them were still stuck to the girl's body. Brian felt like this was the first time he saw the appearance of Alessia who had just woken up from sleep."Oh, sorry. "I immediately looked for you as soon as I woke up because you weren't there," said Alessia as if she understood Br
Still in his car, Brian watched Sean who had just exited the car. The man's steps stopped because there was an incoming call on his cell phone. Brian is torn between leaving or staying there until Sean leaves first. For some reason, Brian didn't seem ready to talk to the secretary again.When Brian made the decision to stay there until Sean left, someone unexpectedly appeared which was the reason Brian finally got out of the car while holding his cell phone to his ear.Ben waited for Brian outside his car, it was the man who just arrived and noticed Brian's presence. Ben's car was parked right next to Brian. So like it or not, Brian finally left.Ending the pretend call, Brian looked at Ben and smiled."I didn't think you could be romantic too, Brian," said Ben in a good morning greeting to Brian, who raised his eyebrows in confusion.There was no answer from the man other than a friendly smile. Ben invited Brian to ride with him, and he happened to be at the same time as Sean who was
