The club! A restaurant?

.

At 07:12 WIB

Esme woke up from her sleep due to the sound of knocking on the door. He blinked his eyes, and Esme realized that she was asleep after the morning prayers with her face still in use. The knock of the door was increasingly accompanied by the voice of bi Inah who continued to call his name. Esme immediately moved, folded her face and her alphabet, and she immediately opened the door of her room.

"What's up, Bi?" esme asked, he saw Bi Inah carrying a bottle of cold water, some ice cubes in the form of a small box, a large bowl and a cloth. Esme frowned in surprise.

Bi Inah just barged into his room, so Esme's body was pushed in by him. Esme wondered.

"Non, sit here!" pinta Bi Inah pointed towards the bed.

Uh! Looks like Bi Inah knew when I cried earlier. (In Esme realized it herself)

Esme sat on her bed. "What is so clearly visible about her eyes, Bi?" asked Esme who was blindfolded because she was being compressed by Bi Inah.

Bi Inah smiled. "Aunti knows Non is having problems, but Bibi will not charge Non more with questions. Aunty can only pray, hopefully Non's problem can be resolved soon," said Bi Inah.

Bi Inah's words always made Esme feel at peace. Bi Inah had always understood Esme's situation.

After finishing compressing, Bi Inah also returned to work on his duties in the kitchen. Then, Esme put on her work clothes and immediately put on her makeup.

As her eyes glanced at the phone lying on the dresser, Esme was immediately pensive. He was very curious, eager to check his phone, whether Leo sent a message or called him this morning. If Leo had sent him a message, would it have been an apology?

As Esme was about to check her phone, suddenly Ms. Hilda called her from the ground floor for breakfast. Esme did not check her phone, she immediately put the phone into her bag that will be used today.

Then Esme walked out of her room into the dining room.

But, because the time will be eight o'clock, Esme so did not have time to sit down to breakfast with her family. He must immediately go to the office because today's schedule is a direct visit to the Supermarket that Leo challenged to take off the losses that were happening in the Supermarket.

Esme took the bread of her part which she had prepared, she immediately shook hands with her parents, as well as Balmond and said hello to them.

"Esme, what's the rush?" ask Mr. Harits a little awkwardly, because of this dawn.

"Dad, it's almost eight o'clock. Today I have important business in the office" Esme replied, continuing her footsteps out of the house.

Suddenly, Balmond who was still eating breakfast moved from his seat, he intended to catch up with Esme. "Dad, mom. I also have to get to the office right now!" he said with his mouth full of food. Balmond immediately shook hands and ran after Esme who participated carrying her distended stomach.

Esme got in the car and started the engine. Balmond immediately banged on the car glass to make Esme shocked.

Esme opened the windshield.

"What's wrong? Do you want to drop some food when I get home from work? I'll buy it later, now I have to hurry to the office!" esme said with his speed.

"No, it's not that. Quickly open the rear car door, there is something I want to talk to you about. You can drive while listening to my talk!" he said with breath.

What was? It was not usual for Balmond to express this seriously. (Inner Esme curious)

Balmond got into the car immediately after Esme opened the locked rear car door. He drove straight to his office.

On the way, Esme peeked at Balmond from the glass looking agitated. He learned of his brother's anxiety because Balmond played his fingers.

"Ime!" get Balmond to open the conversation. "Did you and Leo go on a date last night at The One's restaurant?" ask Balmond.

The One's? (Esme frowning, wonder)

"M.. Why is it?" Esme asked back. His curious soul churned.

"I saw Leo get out of the car while embracing you entering The One. But, why don't you take me to the restaurant that's going viral? He said the food there was delicious, is that right?" ask Balmond.

Esme squinted both of her eyes. He was increasingly clueless about what his brother said. He tried to digest as much as possible the meaning of the word Balmond.

"Esme, red light. Stop!!" yelled Balmond, panicking. Esme immediately regained consciousness, and immediately stepped on the brake pedal.

"Why are you daydreaming? Right, you went to that restaurant last night in a red dress with Leo?" The second question from Balmond made Esme frown even more.

Red dress? No! ... Last night I wore the black dress I bought in America when I was in college.

"Mm. yeah, sure." Eventually Esme chooses to lie, because I don't know what would happen if she told me honestly that last night they were dating at the Club not at the restaurant Balmond was referring to.

This is so strange according to Esme.

"How's the food there? If it's really good as my friends say, I'll be there when I get home from work" Balmond said with a face waiting for an expression from Esme about the food at the restaurant.

Esme became unfocused, as Balmond's speech left Esme's brain filled with a myriad of questions at this time.

Balmond called his name. He was upset because he felt ignored by Esme.

"Ck. Never mind, stop the car. Put me down at that intersection !" decak Balmond with a flat face while pointing to the crossroads he was referring to.

"Mmm..," replied Balmond with a look of annoyance, then he got out of Esme's car.

Bruck..

The sound of the car door being closed.

Esme paused for a moment, still thinking about Balmond's words. The myriad of questions in his brain and the unrest in his mind continued to swarm.

But Esme immediately dismissed all that, Balmond's words should not make his spirit shriveled in carrying out his work. He should remain professional at work.

Esme drove her car back to her office.

Arriving at the office, it turns out Dirga had been waiting for Esme earlier in front of her study. Dirga is his deputy director who will be taking part with him on a field trip today.

Esme adjusted her breathing, while walking closer to Dirga. He tried to set aside his mind which at that time just kept thinking about the events of last night and the words of Balmond.

"Dirga! I'm sorry, I'm a little late" Esme exclaimed with a smile at her.

"Ah, relax director! Not too rushed, really." Dirga spoke to Esme.

Then, Esme and Dirga immediately carried out their duties to the Supermarket on the outskirts of the City.

...

After a few minutes, Leo, who was dressed very neatly in his black shirt, walked very arrogantly towards Esme's study.

He passed the desk of Esme's secretary, Kadita.

"We, did Esme enter work today?" leo asked with a panicked look.

Kadita was a little surprised, because Leo doesn't usually stop by. "ah! Mm. yes," he answered briefly.

Leo immediately entered Esme's study, and was immediately followed by Kadita.

Bruck...

Leo opened the door violently.

Kadita frowned in surprise with fear. "It looks like Leo's mood is unfriendly. Did Esme make a move?" kadita gumam.

Leo rolled his eyes around, he didn't find Esme there. Leo was panicking.

"Where's Esme? You said he went to work today" Leo spoke in a high voice.

Kadita put on a scared face. "Leo ! Esme and the deputy director are currently going on a field trip to the Supermarket on the outskirts of the City," he replied with his eyes closed because of the horror of Leo's face at this time.

Arrgghhhh !!! (Lo's inner growling)

"Huh ...." Leo immediately let out a long sigh, and regulated his emotions. "We, I remind you, even though I, you and Esme are high school friends, but if we're in the office you'd better call me president like the rest of the staff, call Esme also as director. It's not nice to hear the other staff, you call the boss by his name directly," said Leo, he immediately tidied up his suit position and walked past Kadita just like that after nagging him.

Kadita bowed, after hearing the words of Leo. He felt himself very low, it made his spirit fade.

Kadita did not expect, Leo who when the High School is quiet, now becomes so arrogant and spicy mouth.

...

Leo was in his study.

He immediately sat down and sipped a cup of warm coffee that was already available on his desk, with an indescribable feeling. His feelings are mixed at this moment.

Why would Esme just leave me at the Club? He also did not return my messages and did not answer my phone. Esme must be very angry and disappointed in me. Uh, this can't be allowed! (Lo inner, anxious)

Then, Leo got up and took his coat hanging next to the window.

Leo put on his coat and walked straight out of his study.

Leo will follow Esme to the Supermarket.
