In the corner of another ce some time ago.


    Stey looked at Reihan with a strange look. Suddenly felt her heart skip a beat as Reihan pulled her hand away to went. Old memories that had been buried, revived. It wasn''t intentional and it just happened. But, Stey chose silence to ovee her feelings.


    "Where do you want to go? Where''s the appointment?" Reihan opened the door of his SUV car for Stey.


    "I have an appointment with a client at a restaurant. Theirpany wanted to use my services to advertise their products. I was just on a whim to try this job. We will meet at hotel xx,"


    Reihan immediately nodded in understanding and took Stey into his car. But Stey was still reluctant to move forward.


    So Reihan asked again.


    "Won''te in and let my hands hurt?"


    Stey finally gave in andplied. Get into the car obediently and fasten the seatbelt. Reihan gave his simple advice.


    "Don''t be too tense and rx. We are not heading to the abyss. And no dangerous idents will happen as long as I drive."


    Ste just smiled faintly.


    nned not to chat much with Reihan. But the man somehow started to keep talking to her.


    "You n to be a product ambassador?" asked Reihan on the sidelines of his time listening carefully to the story from Stey''s mouth.


    The little girl in his past. And now she had apletely different look and it was still surprised him.


    Stey replied curtly, "Yes."


    Reihan nced at her.


    "Are you nervous about something?" Reihan asked not seriously. But the question created a new tension in Stey''s face.


    Not just because of the question, indeed. But because of the sudden surge that attacked them. After Reihan''s car wheel stumbled something.


    Forcing two of them to be spontaneously stunned and almost thrown forward if only Reihan didn''t act alert by holding Stey''s body.


    Reihan feels guilty.


    "Forgive me. I pay little attention to the streets. And I wish you well."


    They finally arrived at their destination. Dropped Stey in front of a restaurant and letting her go. However, Reihan seemed dissatisfied if he had to leave Stey just like that.


    "Stey!! Wait!!"


    Stey turned around.


    "What''s up?" she asked with a serious look.


    Reihan left a message for her.


    "I will wait for you here. Don''t escape using the back door nor other and make me being moldy."


    Ste smiled faintly.


    Dashed away without saying anything. Reihan was unmoved. Just thinking alone and guessing. He muttered.


    "So, what kind of her smile means? And why didn''t she answer my offer?"


    Reihan shook his head. Making a decision will still waiting and be patient. Reihan also observed traces of Stey''s departure in silence.


    ***


    Inside the restaurant.


    Stey was busy discussing with her transaction partner when her focus was divided on Reihan''s presence outside the restaurant waiting for her, with the use-value she could get if she epted the contract in front of her eyes.


    Stey had even done something she didn''t expect. Hastilypleted the transaction with the interlocutor. Then she jogged after the door of the ck SUV that still faithfully parked his car in front of the restaurant she was there.


    She tapped softly.


    Knock-knock!


    Knocked on the side window of Reihan''s car and waited for the window to be opened. Stey couldn''t describe how satisfied she felt when she saw Reihan was still there and waiting for her.


    Reihan lowered his car window and smiled.


    "Your business was done? And I didn''t think it would be this soon?"


    Ste just made a smile faintly. Got into Reihan''s car again when the lock has been opened. Reihan offered her a new alternative.


    "Are you hungry and want to eat somewhere?"


    Stey considered.


    "Okay. Then, take this as thanks to you for giving me a ride."


    Reihan then invited Stey to go to his favorite restaurant. The restaurant was by the beach and the location was not too far from theirst position.


    They had a simple conversation.


    "Youe here often?"


    Reihan nodded faintly.


    "Yes. Ie here often because the atmosphere and the food are high-grade."


    Reihan used his gentle for exchanged the steak that he ordered and he had cut it into smaller sizes with Stey''s mine, which happened to have chosen the same steak menu as him. Based on Reihan''s rmendation result.


    "You shouldn''t have to do this," Stey said in seriousness.


    The atmosphere around them that day was strange because they looked like a real couple. But, it would be even weirder if they didn''t actually have any kind of rtionship. Stey instead thought recklessly.


    Stey lowered her head for hiding her confusion.


    "I''m worried about your drastic weight loss. So, have you been on a strict diet all this time?"


    Stey checked her body size.


    "Am I too skinny and unattractive?" she asked in surprise as she had thought that her current appearance was her best. Well then, let''s forget how she looked before!


    Stey gave some logical reasons.


    "Er, I have to keep my body like this or better if I want to stay getting a job."


    Reihan nced at her.


    "You have received the contract just now?"


    "More or less. But I still ask for time to consider it and reread the entire contents of their contract," Stey immediatelyined when she saw something was imprecise, "Hey! Why do you keep adding pieces of meat on my te?"


    This objection received a rxed response from Reihan.


    "For health and a little fat is not bad."


    Stey looking for the truth of Reihan''s words. She knew Reihan just wanted to be gentle. Showed his concern as a friend of her brother towards the younger sister of his best friend.


    Reihan asked a surprising question.


    "And then, may I ask you something serious?"


    Their eyes met each other. And Reihan continued his interrogation without waiting for an answer from Stey.


    "Do you really have a boyfriend?"


    Ste blinked. Of the many questions, Reihan could ask her. Why did he have to ask that question?!


    "I just want to know if what they said is true. Do you have a boyfriend nor not?"


    The bracelet he had given her shed in his head again.


    "If so, why do you still keep my bracelet? And was it true that you still found it difficult to removed your feelings for me till now?"


    Stey was at a loss for words. Didn''t know how to refute the usation. And didn''t sure Reihan could be tricked by her on well. Stey felt a raging feeling. She then smiled faintly.


    "That''s how it is. I do have a boyfriend and my feelings for you have long since disappeared."


    Reihan took out something from his shirt pocket. A brown envelope that he had kept for a long time. Reihan tapped his finger on that envelope.


    "Is that so?"


    Stey looked at him with a strange gaze. But still haven''t said anything.


    "In that case, may I know what his name was?" asked Reihan with dark eyes.


    An answer sentence was containing a name, of course, would be made him felt ufortable. But, Reihan still wanted to hear it in personality.
