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

Brian just followed along and listened to every conversation or occasionally joined in, if something was funny Brian laughed too. Brian started to feel close to the first accounting team within days of his internship. Brian's busy life doesn't feel that heavy, even though there are times when Brian is also overwhelmed.“What news did you get this time, Kat?” Leon asked, from his appearance the man looked curious, unlike usual.Kattie didn't say it straight away, the girl put her plate on the table and took a sip of water first while the others started putting food into their mouths, including Brian.“You don't usually stop for too long. What's wrong, Kat?" Selena asked again.While chew

    After lunch, none of the team members spoke at all, especially Kattie who often chatted non-stop back to the office. The girl was always professional, sometimes she was serious at work and strict, and during breaks, she would act as if she liked talking and dressing up.Brian felt strange about Kattie's silence. Even though he had only been with them for a few days, Brian seemed used to their attitude. Brian knew Kattie was thinking about something, and so did the others.The news they heard earlier was indeed surprising. Miles Kentinx,- has never been married although he reportedly has a girlfriend, and the woman is the daughter of a businessman. Brian had seen the woman's profile, but for some reason, there was a feeling of doubt in his heart regarding Miles' child. This is not possible with Jenifer Claudi, the daughter of a textile entrepreneur.News about Miles' relationship with Jenifer has emerged, several photos of them together have appeared in various media, and it is even ru

    Run as fast as you can to the company roof. Brian didn't know what he was thinking when he received the message from Secret. Getting out of the elevator and running towards the roof, Brian opened the steel door, and a strong wind immediately greeted him.Brian managed to catch his breath by propping his hands on his knees, causing Brian to bend slightly, then Brian looked around at the roof of the building which was quite large. The place is also quite well-maintained,- and looks clean. Brian's feet began to walk as he looked around him.[You want to know who I am, don't you? I will give you more clues and missions. Let's go to the roof now.]This message surprised Brian and he rolled his eyes and just ran without thinking about anything. And now, Brian was confused about what he was doing there, in an empty place with absolutely no one."He's playing me?" Brian thought a little angrily.His feet were still walking around the quiet place. His steps stopped when he saw a small box on a

    They arrived at a restaurant that looked crowded. Brian was the first time he had come to this place so he was a little worried. After entering the place, Brian's attention was diverted to several things. This is like an ordinary restaurant, but they have a special room with a special way to the room.The Brian team led by Kattie this time headed to another room. Instead of joining other visitors who eat dishes, they take the road to the right. At first, Brian was quite confused, but once one door to the room was opened, Brian realized that it was a special room provided for fun with drinks.Brian entered the room slowly, his attention circulated in all the rooms while the others were sitting.The room does not have a chair, only a square table is quite large, also a few cushions but not sitting. After observing it for a while, Brian just realized that the place was like karaoke and for drinking or party, a combination room of restaurants and karaoke, there were no chairs or sofas, on

    Brian could only smile or laugh at the behavior of his teammates who sang in an irregular tone but they looked very happy as if all the heavy workloads or life problems were raised just like that.Still, in his sitting position with Ben, Brian refused to move forward and hold the microphone and then sang. Brian did not want to do that because shame could not be but not used to it."Why don't you come with them?" said Brian to Ben who laughed in his place.For a moment the man was silent."I don't want to bother my wife or score by my wife," Ben answered, grinning. "Besides that, I can't drink much, I have to watch them," the man continued.Brian nodded in Ben's answer. While others are still fun in front, occasionally with a mic and tone of voice or even dancing, it's funny to be an entertainment for Brian who is just silent when drinking."So what do you think about the company?" Ben asked, suddenly his tone sounded serious.Brian's face turned and looked at the man who focused in fr

    The person crouched in front of Brian whose head lolled forward, breathing evenly. The night wind blowing slightly woke Brian because of the cold air. As soon as the man's eyes opened, Brian was surprised to find Alesia's face beneath him."You've come," Brian said, raising the head."Yes," said the girl."Why didn't you tell me?" Brian said."You fell asleep," Alessia answered.Brian nodded his head and then reached into his jacket pocket to look for his car keys."Did you come by car?" Brian asked looking at Alessia who was still squatting in front of him."No, I took a taxi," answered Alessia."That's good. Here are the car keys. "Let's go home, I'm going to sleep," said Brian in a vague voice which made Alessia smile."Okay. I'll help you up," said the girl.Once again Brian just nodded his head slowly.Alessia helped Brian get up and supported the man while also carrying his backpack. Brian got drunk because he not only drank beer,- but also tried wine, which resulted in Brian ge

    Pensive under the shower, Brian remembered Alessia's words that Brian only heard before falling asleep. Should Brian pretend not to hear or know anything?“What am I like?” Brian repeated it when he remembered what Alessia said. "I don't know either," Brain admitted later because Brian himself doesn't understand it.While wiping his face with the palm of his hand, Brian still hadn't moved from under the shower, which was Brian's favorite when bathing. Brian doesn't like the ritual of soaking in a bathtub sprinkled with masculine-smelling soap.Once he had enough, Brian ended his morning shower ritual, took a towel, and left the room. After drying his body, Brian took his clothes to a special room and then came out again while drying his hair with a small towel. It felt very refreshing when he finished showering, even though Brian's head was still a little dizzy from the effects of drinking last night. “I wonder if they are home yet?” said Brian whose thoughts were focused on his team

    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

    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?”

    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
