Behind the Rain and Memories

4. Ice Mountain Man & Ginger Incident

No one Tasya nicknamed this monster as the Ice Mountain Man, even from their departure to the restaurant for meetings with clients held, he was silent a thousand languages. Not a single word came out of his mouth, as if the girl sitting next to him was just a statue.

This situation makes Alina feel bored with the level of the god level, a journey that only takes an hour to feel a century, willing to talk first afraid to be counted SKSD, and worse still dicuekin.

Mending followed the flow, thought Alina later. Both are dissolved in silence.

Fortunately unachievable, unfortunate can not be denied, who would have thought the saturation of Alina will end long, because the streets of the capital this morning before noon even jammed and the movement of their cars berinsut without sin. The girl began to fidget, where the stomach was criuk-kriuk, understood this morning breakfast a little so not yet noon the worm had revolted asking for rations, hopefully ni ni worm did not escape the sound of all sorts.

In order to ignore all the raging, bored, hungry and kebellets as well, Alina tried to turn her attention to the cell phone in her hand. While wearing a headset, she began to focus on watching the continuation of her favorite Korean drama.

Notably, everything began to be controlled, occasionally Alina sipped tea boxes that had been brought. Of course, without offering the boss, he would not want to drink from a used pipette, so he thought the girl was alibi.

"In addition to annoying, there is no attitude, '" hissed Max while shaking his head at the behavior of the girl beside him.

Alina who saw Max's movements, hurriedly took off her headset.

" Have you talked to me?" ask her with a plain face.

Max did not reply, he turned his eyes back to the streets. Luckily the traffic had broken down and now the car they were riding drove smoothly.

Alina shrugged her shoulders so there was no response from the man, when she had clearly seen that Max was saying something. Instead of dizziness, Alina resumed her spectacle, before how long Alina realized that the car had stopped, she also ended her activities, and prepared to be ready to go down following Max who had already left.

Alina held the map she brought while trying to align with Max's steps.

" Are you always slow like that" Max realized Alina was overwhelmed.

" The pace of the father is too long, I struggle if I have to half run with these heels," snorted Alina annoyed, she did not accept the protest of Max who did not understand the situation, he said, it seemed like the man had no partner, nor sister, so it was not understood what Alina was going through at the moment.

Suddenly Max stopped his steps and turned around, ups almost Alina who was walking right behind hit the tall body of the man. It was fortunate that his reflexes were fast that it did not happen even though he was a little staggered by it.

"I don't like to argue, if you still want to stay in this team, make sure you can adjust the rhythm,"

Alina gulped in a rough gulp, her heart churning as Max pointed her index finger, she could not tolerate this kind of attitude, but her emotions only lasted for a moment. Again he had to resign, because this is the only way to be able to find justice for Bryan. It has been three months since the accident but the case just floated, no further prosecution from the company or family. And Alina felt the need to investigate for herself what really happened, for which she had to start from the scope of Bryan's work. Once there was an offer from Mr. Leo, he felt this was a good opportunity for him. Even though he himself still did not know what he would look for there.

Well, I will try," said Alina in the end, her eyes look glassy.

" Gotta!" firmly the man again with a sharp highlight and Alina could only nod. Trying hard to keep the tears from falling.

Max doesn't care about Alina, he continues his steps towards the door of the restaurant, and the opportunity is used by Alina to wipe the floating clear grain. He must not look weak.

The greeting from the welcoming maid slightly melted the tension that had just occurred, kindly delivering them to the previously reserved room. Lucky the client they will meet is also not coming so Max does not need to give an excuse for this delay. They may also be stuck in traffic.

But the condition just re-positioned Alina in a situation that she did not want, the girl thought hard, why Max was being rude to her. Though Max is only the division leader, but his attitude seems to indicate that he has the power to get rid of Alina.

Oh no, it's not that easy Fergusso.

If Mr. Leo had just offered to join so there was no reason for the iceberg to fire him. Look, he's going to prove that he's not just relying on Mr. Leo's influence, but that he deserves to work at Mega Buana.

Alina squinted, looking at Max who was now busy with his laptop. He kept guessing why Max didn't seem to like him, like something was upsetting him because of the girl's presence, whether he might have a secret he didn't want to know, or he felt overwhelmed.. He's probably the one who shot Bryan.

Thinking what the hell I am, Alina removes the preconceptions that are formed, even though her detective brain starts working but she should not be rash to conclude.

Max stood up from his seat and greeted the man with a smile. While Alina was amazed, the smile seemed to explain that it turned out that Max was not as cold as she thought, so warm and sincere. Maybe this is just a marketing trick.

Alina stood up and they shook hands in turn.

" It's okay Mr. Jacob, we're also just up, please sit down," said Max politely.

They began the meeting, Max explained the picture of the building he had prepared before, and Mr. Jacob seemed satisfied, without needing to discuss further, he agreed to this cooperation.

" I am very happy with the performance of Mega Buana so far, my resort and villa in Bali is also the concept of the late Bryan, once Bryan is not around, I am a little hesitant to submit this project directly, he said, and I intended to open a tender, but I coincidentally met Mr. Leo yesterday in the airport, and I accidentally told him my plan, which was, he persuaded me to see first the design of Bryan's successor and he was not wrong, your design is extraordinary Mr. Max," praise Mr. Jacob enthusiastically.

Alina admitted that what Mr. Jacob said was right, Max has the ability that is not inferior to Bryan, maybe that's why he also got the trust of Mr. Leo. But it seems like Max is abusing that trust and being arrogant.

" Thank you for the compliment sir, hopefully the future of this cooperation runs smoothly," said Max responded.

The meeting continued with lunch. Alina was impatient, her stomach was really hungry and she ate her food eagerly.

"Uhuk-uhuk," Alina suddenly choked.

So hunted he did not realize until he swallowed something that felt very spicy in the esophagus, even worse stuck there.

" Geez, be careful, Sister Alina, drink a lot of water" suggested Mr. Jacob concerned.

Alina hurried to take a drink and gulped down the glass until the toilet, but the object was still stuck and made it sore, Alina patted her chest, her face flushed with pain.

Max sighed, he stood up from his seat and approached Alina, he lifted the girl's head up and then flicked his fingers three times in front of Alina's face, asking her to relax. For a moment Alina was transfixed and the next girl felt her body being pushed forward until she was leaning, Max slapped between Alina's shoulder blades with his hand. It's magical! something that came out on its own.

" Next time be careful, that much ginger can really be swallowed," hissed Max while helping to clean the mouth of Alina who looked messy with tissue, anyone who saw this situation must have mistaken.

" You guys look good, are you dating?" asked Mr. Jacob with a meaningful glance as well as his assistant whose smiles are not clear, well it was also talked about.

Hearing that, Max stopped the action and sat back down.

"Not sir, just pity, if left he can die because of choking, even troublesome me later," said Max with a flat expression.

Alina didn't touch this conversation, she was still breathing after the incident a while ago. His eyes were staring at the thing lying spoiled on the floor.

Ginger oh Ginger makes you ashamed.
