Dark Princess

Delicate Debar

"Hi.." He greeted with his cool style. A hat and mask covered his face. Yes, that super handsome face was right in front of my face. I'm stunned. It has been a year that we have not met, and met in such a way, leaving my defense paralyzed. Don't know how to. I didn't have time to think about whether I hated or liked her presence there. The only option is to follow my heart.

I try to calm down the turbulent emotions. I'm not really okay. But seeing him there made me feel weak. All the negative emotions that surrounded my life were breaking down. I tried to hold back the tears. Turned my face towards the window. I'm too happy. My tears are dripping. After a while, I made sure that my face was in a normal state and turned back towards him. He was curious and examined my expression closely.

"Hi Jade's. It's me.." He pointed his thumb at his face. I smile.

"I knew. Hi.." I returned the greeting. I resigned and could not control the water of my face. Let him read as he pleases, and freely translate my heart. Maybe he could see how happy I was to have him there.

"Are you okay?" He noticed a trace of tears on my face.

"I'm fine..." I answered quickly. I looked back at the window and tried to improve the look of my face.

"Hey, what's up?"

"It's okay."

"Related?" I'm nodding. He paused for a moment and looked at me.

"How did you get here?" I asked politely. Quickly he wanted to distract her. He doesn't need to know why I'm a whiny. And I want to make sure that I act reasonably. My fate is in his hands, I don't dare to act rashly anymore. I hope the trip goes peacefully until I get home on time.

"I'm on assignment at the Seoul branch this week. However there will be a meeting with Gaia Wear people at the head office in Singapore. So I went there. I'm lucky to meet you here. Absolutely beyond expectations.'' He explained clearly, but it sounded suspicious. I squinted at him suspiciously, probing his face. He pulled his lips to the side, holding a smile.

"Why? What does that look mean?" Whatever it is. He had a reason what cake. I was too happy that someone finally helped to divert my very bad mood.

"It's okay..." I look back to the front. Suddenly feeling very calm and planning to sleep. Maybe because I felt safe there, I quickly fell asleep.

...

"Jade..." He called. I opened my eyes.

"Lah first. I'm following." My answer. I don't want to create insignificant chaos from being caught walking along with the most handsome man in the universe. He looked at me a bit confused, but then understood my point.

"Don't worry. This was enough to cover my face. Let's get off together. It's been 5 minutes. See it? There's no one here anymore." Oh, that means he knows it's my bag because no one's on the plane.

I got up from my seat and saw the atmosphere inside, it was already quiet. Only the cabin crew was cleaning up and still standing at the door waiting for us to come out. The rest, just the two of us. I straighten my face and hair. Then I followed him from behind. I tried to catch up to his pace while still keeping some distance around a few steps behind him.

"Is this really okay?" I tried to convince.

"Yes, it's okay. The car was waiting right in front of the exit. We can quickly disappear from this place once we get there. Follow me." We keep going. It was a thrilling moment. What if someone knows him? I tuck the hair inside the coat and cover the neck up to half of my face with a scarf. I looked at his back. Feels weird. I didn't expect an Earnest Lee would help me carry my bag. The steps are long. Body firm. He held his little suitcase in one hand and my little travel bag in the other. Smiling at himself while following his steps.

As soon as we got to the exit, I saw a black Audi A6, with a driver. She quickly opened the door and Earnest asked me to come in. Then he entered from the other side. At last. That thrilling moment passed. We immediately headed out of Changi Airport.

"We have breakfast first. What do you want to eat?" She asked. I frowned. We'll have breakfast together? But it's only natural. Maybe it means as before. He asked his assistant to prepare breakfast in his office.

"Anything." Answer's short. Then he handed him the same pass as before. I looked into his eyes in doubt. We should have gone into Earnest Corps' office, not Earnest Lee's. But he didn't touch my astonished gaze.

"I'm going to get into the house from the office. And you can go straight there. Can I help you with your bag?" He goes on to the next agenda. I decided to ask why we should go to her house. I don't know why, I like it too.

"No, I'll bring it myself. Not so heavy." After all, it would make the people in his office suspicious, right? The travel bag I brought was very girly. One could easily assume that the bag belonged to a woman, a large tote bag with pink and white shades, a branded bag that Gaia gave me. Enough to put all the things I need for the day. I'll be home in the afternoon. Hopefully so, I murmured in my heart. I hope he doesn't look for things like he did last time.

"All right." Answer's short.

The car stopped right next to the building, a special entrance for her apartment, and I got off. They headed to the main lobby of the building. Earnest Corps headquarters. I took the elevator to the top floor and entered his house using the pass he gave me. While wondering, why do I obey? Shouldn't I go to his office on business? Why go to his house? What the hell are you doing here? Whatdoes thatmean?

But I have no power to kill the thump in my heart that makes me float. The butterflies in my stomach fly. I enjoyed it so much that I could not argue. I don't know what it means to ask me to come into his house, I don't care. I decided to obey.

But I'm still sleepy. Too tired from the rumbling emotions that hit me since a few days ago. I put all my luggage on the table. And lay down on the couch, close your eyes and finally sleep.
