Descending the stairs lightly, Brian prepared to leave with Alessia. The man wore ordinary clothes that seemed relaxed and depicted him as still young. Of course, Brian is still a student at a well-known university.Brian waited for Alessia in the television room while putting a watch on his wrist then turned around when he heard footsteps. But Brian then fell silent when he saw the girl's appearance.Holding back his laughter, Brian shifted his gaze from up to down the girl. Alessia's style remains the same, like a female bodyguard."Is there anything strange?" Alessia asked."No. But wait a moment," said Brian while still wearing his watch.As soon as he finished, Brian approached the girl.“Don't be too stiff or formal. It’s Saturday night, who comes home from work on a Saturday night?” said Brian while chuckling.Alesia's cheeks looked red, a little embarrassed by it.Brian for a moment to change Alessia's style a little. Even though she didn't understand, Alessia let go of what B
"It's me! You forgot, didn't you?” the girl repeated, even sitting in the empty chair in front of them.Alessia glanced at Brian who was glancing at her."You… looked familiar, but I forgot," Brian admitted uncomfortably.However, the girl laughed as if Brian's response was normal.“I thought you would forget. You've never really looked at a girl and then remembered her. You haven't changed at all,” said the girl.Brian glanced at Alesia again, confused. How did the girl find out?“It's me, Reyna. The girl who always follows you everywhere,-" said the girl.Brian squinted, trying to remember. In his mind, slowly the image of the face of the vague figure in his memory emerged, starting from a head of black hair, thin black eyebrows, slightly narrow eyes, a sharp nose, thin white cheeks, and thin lips that often smiled. , and a sharp chin with a small mole on his right jaw. This girl likes to talk, more specifically to annoy Brian who remains indifferent."Ah, the girl who always bother
Brian is always amazed. Alessia can change attitudes and feelings very quickly when faced with food. What's special? That girl always had her way of entertaining. Even though she didn't pay as much attention to Brian as usual, Alessia still ate her dinner happily. For Brian that alone was enough.“The girl avoided me, or spoke briefly to me, which made me feel uncomfortable. What's wrong?" said Brian as he watched the girl who was still busy eating.As soon as Alessia looked up and looked at Brian, the man did the opposite, pretending not to notice and enjoying his food.Someone in the distance watched with a small, sad-looking smile.Brian may not be good at relationships and is sometimes confused about how to act with a girl. Brian is not very good at taking the initiative in opposite-sex relationships, and more often keeps his distance, or if possible, prefers to avoid him. However, his attitude was enough to make several girls interested, including Reyna.Because, that's how Brian
"I'll just shop there," said Alessia, breaking the silence in Brian's car.The girl's index finger pointed forward, at the supermarket board not far from them."Okay," Brian said and concentrated.The road is quite busy with passing vehicles, so Brian needs to concentrate on crossing his vehicle and be careful to avoid traffic accidents. There was a policeman who helped Brian and then thanked the policeman. Once he managed to park in front of the supermarket, it turned out to be quite busy too."This place is quite big too," said Brian as he lowered his body to look at the supermarket sign."It seems the needs here are complete," answered Alessia, who had already untied her seat belt.Brian nodded his head and followed the girl, unfastened his seat belt and they got out together. Alessia was busy with her bag, rummaging through its contents and taking out a piece of paper that the girl had brought.Alessia invited Brian to come in. Even though her attitude looked normal, Brian felt th
Brian put his shopping in the back trunk and then closed it. Alessia breathed a sigh of relief, and the girl smiled."I'll bring this to the front later," said Alessia, showing the white plastic bag containing the snacks Brian had bought earlier."Okay. Let's go home, it's too late," said Brian.Alessia nodded her head and they walked to the side of the car then got in and sat down as usual. Brian still wanted to drive even though Alessia volunteered.It was getting late at night but it wasn't quiet out there at all, it was getting busier with people who wanted to spend the weekend drinking, or going to clubs and many other places to hang out until the morning.Brian is not that type of person, even though Brian usually spends his time until almost morning, at that time Brian is working."You want something?" Alessia offered.Brian glanced over and said he wanted a drink. Alessia gave Brian a drink.Silence. For a while, no one spoke. Brian concentrated on driving, and Alessia was sil
"You still here?" Alessia's voice brought Brian out of his reverie.The man looked up and saw Alessia walking towards him. Brian put a small note in his trouser pocket and smiled at Alessia."I still want to be here," admitted Brian, directing his gaze to the cellphone screen in his hand.“You want something? Snacks, perhaps?” Alessia offered.Brian looked up again, silent for a moment."Yeah," said Brian."Okay. Wait a moment," said the girl. Brian nodded.Alessia returned to the kitchen to prepare the evening snacks they would eat at the table. Brian looked back at his cell phone, thinking in his heart.Is Brian trying to protect Alesia's feelings by ignoring Reyna? Even though meeting the girl was quite fun. Reyna can make Brian follow the flow of the conversation, while Alessia listens more."What is my relationship with her?" Brian thought. His eyes moved to glance at Alessia.The girl had been accompanying Brian for several months, and because she was used to it and felt comfort
Morning has replaced the role of night. Brian carries out his activities as usual and is now sitting at his desk after breakfast. Brian intends to read the entire contents of the file on the USB which makes him curious whether it is a company secret or just learning material.Brian wasn't sure if all the data was wrong. While engrossed in reading the sentence structure and rows of numbers as a transaction report or company net profit, Brian realized something was odd."The employee salary budget was suddenly cut for no reason even though the company's monthly net profit is quite extraordinary, but the employees have to suffer. Oh, come on. They are not slaves," said Brian while staring at his still-silent computer screen.The file that Brian read was a report from the finance team which handled many things including data. Brian realized something was wrong.“Some reports are inaccurate. But where does the money go?” Brian thought.Exhale roughly. The man again read every sentence very
Back to busy Monday activities. Brian went to the office feeling light. Bringing his car as usual, Brian greeted the team members who were with him in the parking lot. James always looked neat in everything except when he was drunk."You seem to be in a good mood today, Brian?" James noticed Brian in the elevator.Brian glanced briefly then smiled."That's good. "It has to be like that," said James with a smile.In the elevator there were not only the two of them,- but also employees from other divisions.“You stayed up late again?”Brian's attention was drawn to the front where the sound came from."Well, what can I do besides staying up late, even on holidays," said the long-haired girl who looked a little messy.“You should just let it be. That's not your job. Besides, what do you get from working overtime on Saturdays and Sundays besides being tired?” commented the short-haired girl. The girl's gaze fell on her partner who just sighed.Brian listened to what they were talking abou
