The sun beating just above the crown for several hours began to heat up and make the air around Melvis evaporate. It was the end of the spring trip, but the hot winds began to spread around New Orlandio fiercely."Ah where is this summer vacation going?" asked one of the people behind the phone who passed Melvis.Melvis walked around downtown New Orlandio in just a T-shirt and shorts, he looked back and forth at the changes in New Orlandio's dress style and the shift from spring to summer.With sunglasses protecting his eyes from the ultraviolet rays, Melvis looked around. He could begin to smell the drinks and cold foods sold in the summer, starting to line up along the street near the main park in downtown New Orlando."Ah there it is!"Of the many selling cold snacks perfect for the hot and humid lunch hour, the gelato ice cream cart caught Melvis' attention.He smiled faintly at the corner of his lips and started walking towards the park, crowds of people passing by on the streets
Melvis was silent for a while, surprised by Andriana's sudden invitation. He frowned slightly and then looked away to the side opposite Adriana, who was sitting beside him."Eh?" Adriana opened a small voice because she realized what she said embarrassed her. "Er... I didn't mean that, Melvis," Adriana said spontaneously and explained with a blushing face.She scratched her head that wasn't itchy, then looked around for a while and then looked back at Melvis, "I'm not a strange woman or anything, let alone acting strangely you know," Adriana added again spontaneously.She laughed awkwardly and was about to open her mouth again to speak, but Melvis instantly made a smiling sound. He then looked at Adriana and smiled, "Calm down Adriana, I know you didn't mean anything strange, I believe your explanation," Melvis said very calmly.Since he was initially surprised, he remained calm and thought that the woman was very sudden by inviting him to live together. Even so, Melvis didn't want to
Adriana was engaging Melvis in a conversation about the construction they had seen near the park in downtown New Orlandio."Is that so? I just found out," said a dumbfounded Adriana as Melvis explained about New Orlandio's economy from the perspective he had learned. He learned it from the old man who was his subordinate. After half an hour of walking together, they talked so much that they chuckled on their way, but in a dense crowd, Melvis' steps suddenly stopped.Adriana also stopped her steps in confusion, "What's wrong?" thought Adriana in confusion. She tried to look around and finally found the object that made Melvis frozen in place, it was Liona. She sighed very slowly, then looked down, "Finally, he saw too," said Adriana. She already knew that Liona was not doing well, in front of them, in the middle of the crowd, Liona was begging, sitting on a street corner not far from the red light. The woman sat pensively in shabby clothes, hair tied up and disheveled.Liona appeare
Liona, who was being blasphemed right in front of her eyes, was silent for a moment, she looked down and shed tears. She clenched her hands tightly and stomped on the ground where she stood, "Damn it! I won't let this happen," Liona said through gritted teeth.Liona seemed unhappy with Melvis' response, she began to slowly bank and stomp on the ground where she stood, people were astonished by the behaviour of the shabby woman in the middle of the downtown street who, from sitting on the ground, got up with a grim face."Hey come on, get out of here, get away from her!" said one of the passers-by."Yeah come on, leave him alone, he looks like a crazy person," said his friend. While there, Melvis and Adriana had a small talk breaking the awkward atmosphere, she began to pat Melvis on the back, "You're doing great acting calmly like that." said Adriana who gave encouragement to Melvis. Melvis smiled without realizing that the woman with messed up hair ran towards him through the crowd
At Melvis's other residence, on top of a hotel built on the highest peak of New Orlando, Melvis waited nervously for his special guest.He looked straight ahead several times, the green expanse of the forest obscuring his eyes beyond the balcony, blocking out any other view. All he could see was the vast expanse of the sea of trees, and in that moment he repeatedly looked at his watch on his wrist.The quiet atmosphere could make Melvis hear the intense and peaceful footsteps, "Have you been waiting long? Heir Tucker..." said a man's voice that sounded melodious yet weak simultaneously. Melvis smiled and turned his head, he stood up and began to greet Alex Tucker, whom he had not seen for a long time. The old man had retired from his post but was still busy taking care of politics in New Orlandio. "No grandpa, how are you?" asked Melvis very politely. He made a small bow towards his grandfather, and his back was gently patted by Alex Tucker. "Everything is fine. Don't worry about y
In a grand and tall building, a group of men dressed in all black and formal attire flocked in, and some had just gotten off a series of luxury taxis. They were men of prestigious appearance, and each side had a loyal subordinate carrying goods and keeping an eye on their surroundings.It was the Tucker Trade Center building, commonly used by CEOs in New Orlando to gather for secret events or events directly organized by Tucker's parent company. "How many hours before the meeting starts?" asked a man who kept looking at his watch as he climbed the stairs to enter the building.He asked that to the person behind him, who had been following him since he got out of the car. The subordinate walked behind his boss and started checking his cell phone."In half an hour sir," he replied.They walked in a hurry as if they were going to the room on the hundredth floor. Even though the building was tall, the active floors were only about 70. The rest were private floors that were often used by
Right after Melvis expressed his opinion, the slightly boisterous room became hushed. There was not a single sound around Melvis. The cold room became silent and tense.The man who was explaining so passionately instantly turned his head towards Melvis. Not only he, but everyone in the room who had been focused on the front also noticed Melvis. They were wondering."Who is he?" said one of the meeting participants.And things started to get noisy, but their voices were still whispering next to their seats. Even the woman leading the meeting sighed. But she tried to calm down by looking around them and in front of her."Has she been there since earlier?" one of the participants chirped."Is there something wrong with my opinion?" asked Melvis again, he couldn't stand hearing the people around his whispering to each other.The woman began to scowl in annoyance, she tapped her finger on the table where her laptop was sitting. "Huh! What's that nonsense?" the woman chided amidst the tensi
Not everyone heard Melvis's offensive remark, some just ranted at Melvis's very rude behavior. At the same time, the woman named Catherine also babbled and began to gesticulate."How can someone like her get into an important meeting like this, huh? Who will be responsible for this negligence?" the woman babbled looking around her.She then looked sharply at the man standing in the corner of the room not far from the entrance that was only used by her as a leader.The man who was guarding the door and also had a coworker who was checking invitations was silent and looked down in shame, feeling like he was going to be targeted at the end of the meeting by the leader."Well gentlemen, please understand that this incident is beyond my control. Although this incident has a huge impact on the important discussions of our meeting, it would be a shame if I as the leader did not take this matter seriously. It would be even more shameful if I did not personally apologize to you gentlemen," Cat
