Behind the Rain and Memories

9.Fretted

Alina clutched the map she was carrying and walked straight to Mr. Leo's room, although the busyness struck earlier this week but the girl's mind could not be lied to, he was still pictured with Max's attitude the other day.

Although still conscious and strong to walk, Max still insists on holding Alina out of the damaged elevator and bringing Alina to his unit.

" You should change your clothes so that the fever does not get worse, I think this is quite right for you" said the man while giving a navy sweater that he took from the wardrobe room.

Alina did not argue, as soon as Max came out of the room she immediately swapped her damp clothes with a sweater that was definitely a slender body. After that Alina lay down on the king-size bed while putting up a blanket, even though she had changed into dry and thick clothes still she felt cold.

Max returns with a tray.

" Eat the soup first yes, let you feel warm" he said while putting a tray on the nightstand on the side of the bed

Alina sat up and leaned back, Max took a pillow and placed it on the back of the girl, several times he fixed the position of the pillow until Alina felt comfortable, and she was very comfortable, of course the girl was misbehaved by it.

" I can be alone sir" elak Alina as soon as Max was about to feed, but Max did not press, Alina could only resign, she had no energy to argue. Bribes by mouth went into his mouth.

Suddenly the girl felt her heart work beating twice as fast, never before had she felt privileged like this by someone else who was not who to her, that strange feeling appeared again, he was impressed by Max's attention.

" It feels good, is this the father who made it?" alina asked to break the silence created, she clumsily every time she met the handsome man. Within this close distance, Alina only realized why Max was so valued by women in his office.

" No, it's aunt-made that helped me here" Max explained as he put back the empty bowl.

" I didn't see who ?" ask Alina wonder

" He was in the kitchen" Max said again, his hand now busy opening a medicine tablet and thrusting at Alina.

" Drink, It's a fever reliever, if you've started to eat, then I take you home" he said straightforwardly

Alina nodded, usually the hardest when told to take medicine, but Max's attention made her hesitate to refuse, in an instant the white object had passed in her throat.

" Sleep for a while, if you need anything, I'm outside" Max said, again Alina nodded.

Max tidied up the tray and prepared to lift it.

" Sir," call Alina in doubt

Max looked at

"Thank you" said Alina sincerely, Max did not reply he just smiled a glance and passed from there.

Alina sighed while patting her chest slowly, why did she feel this way, repeatedly she shook her head, she should not be carried away, because maybe Max had no meaning what.

He felt guilty for thinking badly about Max, behind his cold and haughty attitude, it was Max who cared.

Alina yawned repeatedly, probably due to the influence of drugs, she felt sleepy and finally fell asleep. Towards dusk Alina just woke up because she felt lightened, Max also drove her home.

At home, the mother greeted him with anxiety because Alina could not be contacted, but after explaining the incident, then the middle-aged woman was relieved. After a short stale conversation with Mom, Max went home

" I'm sure he's a good man" she said as Max passed

Alina knew the intention behind her mother's words but she did not want to respond further because she did not want to give hope, at this time no one can replace Bryan's existence in her heart, he still has an unfinished promise.

" He's fine, you don't have to worry" the voice ripped Alina from her daydream, unaware she was in front of Mr. Leo's room.

" I don't know, I'm not sure everything is still in control" the voice said. Alina sharpened her ears, it seemed like it was Morgan's voice.

" Hey, that's your business, bro, from the beginning I've been reminded, and you know the risks"

Not wrong, but who is Morgan talking to? because Alina didn't hear anyone else's voice

, do not know why he felt curious and intend to eavesdrop. Unfortunately Alina did not realize that someone was watching her.

" What are you doing there"

"Aargh"

Alina squealed in shock, so surprised she almost fell down lucky her reflexes worked so well that she could balance herself, She turned to the person who greeted her.

Mr. Leo smiled wisely,

" Oh yes I forgot, let's go in" he said.

Alina nodded and made room for Mr. Leo to enter first, and as expected, there was Morgan in the room, the man was sitting on the sofa with his phone, that means that from now on the man was talking on the phone, because there was no one else there, Morgan himself was not aware of Alina's presence.

" Please sit Al, I want to take a toilet for a while" said Mr. Leo. Then Morgan looked up and saw Alina was pulling a chair in front of her Boss table .

" Hey Alin what's wrong?" hello Morgan approached

" I want to hand over Gan's report, "Alina replied kindly

" Where's Max?" ask Morgan again, usually for the affairs of the report is always Max's handle.

" Out again reviewing projects in Bogor"

Morgan nodded in understanding, before long Mr. Leo had returned and they were involved in the discussion about the contents of the report submitted by Alina.

Mr. Leo looks satisfied, all the work they get since the presence of Max is a Mega Project, so it's natural that Mr. Leo continues to give praise to Max. There was tucked away sadness in Alina's heart when Mr. Leo glorified Max, he remembered Bryan, previously Bryan who became the golden child in this company but now his position has been replaced.

" How are you now, already starting to bet ?" Ask Mr. Leo to divert the conversation.

" It's very at home, thanks to the support of the father" Alina replied smiling

Mr. Leo mangosteen mangosteen, he closed the map in his hand and put it to the side of the table.

" If you need help do not hesitate to contact me, Morgan or Max, whatever you need, we will try to fulfill, however you have been a part of this company for a long time Al" said Mr. Leo with a serious expression.

" Thank you sir, just welcome here I'm very grateful" replied Alina sincerely.

" Are you sure, or is there still something in your heart right now?" ask Mr. Leo full of probes.

Alina was confused, why Mr. Leo suddenly said like that, could she suspect Alina's true purpose.

" You mean father?" Alina asked back

Mr. Leo sighed and looked at Morgan at a glance, then looked back at Alina closely.

" Morgan said you still want to know who shot Bryan"

Alina did not reply immediately, she also looked at Morgan, who was stared at just smiling as if giving her space to explain.

Alina's fingers moved uneasily, she turned the ballpoint pen in her hand. To accept what he was about to say.

" I just want to give Bryan justice sir, do you think my father was wrong?"

Mr. Leo shook his head, "You're not wrong Al, it's just that you can't stick there, life goes on, you're still young, I think Bryan agrees with my opinion, it is time to open your heart, "

Alina was silent

" You don't get me wrong, I'm saying this because I already consider you like my own daughter" continued Mr. Leo. Indeed, when viewed from the level of , Mr. Leo is the same age as his deceased father.

" So sooner or later I will open my heart sir, but not for now, the mystery of Bryan's death must be revealed, only that will make my heart calm.I'm sorry if I let you down" alina replied firmly

Mr. Leo could not say a word anymore, the establishment of Alina could not be changed, in fact he or Morgan knew that Alina accepted their offer to work in this company with other intentions, he said, but while not interfering with his performance, Mr. Leo is no problem. He frees Alina to find out what she wants, because the fact is that it's not what Alina thinks. But more than that. If one day Alina knows the truth, hopefully the girl is strong, Mr. Leo's Inner Concerned.
