Looking at this unknown city through the car window, Febi felt her heart empty, like a doll that had lost its heart.
The whole world was so silent as if Febi was the only one left, like a person with no backrest. Don't know where the destination is? Febi could only let the car take her away.
"Miss Febi, we've arrived."
The car stopped at the Hydra Hotel branch. Febi's wandering mind was pulled back.
"Thank you." After glancing at the hotel, Febi got out of the car. The baggage was taken by the hotel staff.
After passing through the reception booth, Febi was amazed when he saw the hotel style that was completely different from the main building of Hotel Hydra. The hotel is also a result of Julian's hard work ....
But right now, where is he?
Sarcasm comes along with coolness after a rain stub that ruffles Febi's hair.
"Please get through here, your room's here." The maid took Febi to the housekeeping department.
Febi followed slowly. After pondering for a moment, he still couldn't help but ask, "What ... Mr Julian came here?"
Before waiting for the other party to answer. Febi accidentally raised her head and saw a tall shadow walking towards them. Ryan was next to Julian. It seems like the hotel executives are following behind Julian.
"You mean that Mr Julian?" ask the waiter.
Febi's gaze landed onto Julian's body. When he heard the voice of the maid, he had just returned to his senses. "Did he live here too?"
"Yes. On the same floor as you."
"... Oh, let's go to the room first" Febi said as he walked toward Julian.
Getting closer and closer to each other ....
Febi's heart rate got so fast that it almost jumped out.
Febi did not dare to blatantly stare at Julian. However, unknowingly Febi's eyes would land on him from time to time. Even with that shallow gaze, he could feel her cold and unfamiliar nature.
From start to finish, Julian did not even look to the side as if he did not see Febi.
By the time they passed, Febi was like a lump of air that was not there. There was not even the slightest fluctuation on Julian's face.
Instead, Ryan, who was walking beside Julian, smiled and greeted Febi.
Febi returned her smile, trying hard not to smile too stiffly. However, when they had passed, Febi could no longer hold it back.
Turns ....
When Febi's heart was sad, even laughing would be very difficult ....
"Uhuk uhuk ...." Julian coughed again.
Febi turned around and could only see her back.
On this day that was so cold, Julian was just wearing a shirt.
How can a cold heal like this?
Febi couldn't help but frown, she couldn't help but feel worried.
...
"Sir Julian, it was Miss Febi just now." Ryan thought he didn't find Febi, so he reminded him.
"... Yeah." Julian just snorted and his face was a little dark.
Ryan could not understand. The director deliberately took over the job of Vice Director Agustino and came here on a business trip, wasn't it because of Febi?
How could two people be like strangers now? How quaint!
...
Febi returned to the hotel room in a sad mood. After he packed up and had lunch at the hotel restaurant, the headache finally subsided a little.
I just don't know what happened to Julian ....
At this hour, has he eaten?
While thinking about it, Febi's phone rang. The call was a phone call from Mr. Kenedy who was the foreman at the construction site, "Miss Febi, please come to the construction site. We need to ask you some small details of the design."
"Okay, no problem. I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Febi went back to her room to change her clothes. He took all the design pictures, then put them in his bag and planned to get out. When Febi walked to the door, she suddenly thought of something. Febi walked back, then took the sportswear Julian gave her that night out of her suitcase.
Why did he come here carrying these clothes?
The reason being, even Febi himself did not understand either. Seemingly carrying Julian, Febi would not feel so lonely ....
...
When Febi took a taxi to the construction site, compared to the quiet place before, it was now very crowded. Various workers walked back and forth. The human voice is accompanied by a very lively engine sound.
"Mr Febi, over here!" As soon as Mr. Kenedy saw him coming, he immediately waved at him. Febi hurriedly greeted him, "OK."
"Come on, put this on first." Mr. Kenedy handed over a construction, and Febi put it on immediately. After looking around, he asked, "Which part needs to be confirmed?"
"Powering pool load problems may have to be recalculated again. We all ignore the soft soil problem here. Besides it's there ...." Mr. Kenedy said the problem, Febi nodded while listening carefully. Sometimes Febi would give advice, sometimes she frowned to show that she would finish it soon.
...
"Okay, that's all for now. Miss Febi, we must be thirsty. How do we not go to the waiting room? Mr. Julian is there right now, he's chatting with the systems engineering engineer for the location of the play area" Mr. Kenedy said.
Febi froze for a moment, "Sir Julian was there too?"
"Well, don't be nervous, Mr. Julian is very easy to talk to." Mr. Kenedy thought the change in Febi's face was due to the embarrassment and nervousness of seeing his boss, so he quickly smiled to comfort Febi.
Febi smiled and nodded, "OK. Come on, go."
...
In the waiting room.
Julian was chatting with a young man in glasses, there was a laptop in front of him. They both occasionally point towards the laptop.
Febi and Mr. Kenedy entered together, unknowingly Febi turned his gaze to the young man, until the clothes Febi was holding tightened slightly.
"Sir Julian," call Mr. Kenedy when Febi is still pensive. Julian raised his head and directed his gaze towards them.
Febi was surprised, her body stiffened and she stopped there. After licking her dry lips, she also greeted him, "Sir Julian."
"Yes." Yeah." Julian slightly nodded, his indifferent eyes already making Febi feel the distance between them spontaneously appearing. Julian's gaze only paused for a moment on Febi's face, then landed onto Mr. Kenedy who was beside him, "How is the communication?"
"Don't worry, things are going well. All problems will be solved very well" replied Mr. Kenedy.
"Well, you've worked hard."
From start to finish, Julian only spoke to Mr. Kenedy, his voice soft and emotionless. Febi stood there like an unnecessary person. In the end, Febi just sat quietly on the other side of the waiting room.
Febi picked the place farthest from Julian. He held the difficulty in his heart while looking out the window as if nothing had happened.
Mr. Kenedy came to talk to Febi. Febi tried to make herself laugh happily.
The waiting room door was pushed open again and a responsible stage walked in. After greeting Julian, he walked straight to them and sat down.
"It turns out the head designer is so pretty, it's the first time we've met!"
"true."
"You don't have a show tonight, do you? How about you have dinner with us? If there's something you need to communicate, we can still continue to communicate" someone asks.
"What good?" Febi hesitated. Actually everyone is very straightforward and very comfortable to chat, but .... "Am I not going to cause any trouble for all of you?"
"Could Bu Febi be afraid to go with so many men, your boyfriend would misunderstand? If it really caused you any trouble, then we should be the ones at fault."
A boyfriend?
Febi's heart stiffened. Febi pursed her lips, refusing to look at Julian and shook her head, "I have no boyfriend and no one will misunderstand me."
No one cares who Febi went to ....
"No girlfriend? How pretty is there no boyfriend?" Someone immediately hesitated.
Febi just smiled bitterly.
Others replied excitedly, "Didn't this give us a chance to be single?"
Everyone was joking and Febi replied with a smile. In the end, Febi could not refuse their warm invitation and agreed to have dinner together. Not knowing if it was Febi's own delusion, but she always felt that sharp gazes sometimes swept towards her. However, Febi did not dare to look at it.
After confirming this, Mr. Kenedy turned his head and suddenly asked, "Sir Julian, how about going together tonight? You and Ms. Febi rarely come here."
Febi was stunned for a moment and followed everyone to see Julian.
Febi looked at Julian's slightly slanted lips. Without thinking for a second, Julian refused, "Sorry, there's still a banquet tonight."
Everyone said it was a pity, but they were actually relieved. A dinner party with a leader will always look stiff and not as relaxed as when there are only them.
...
Julian sat there while hearing the laughter there until his face slowly grew sour.
Especially Febi's warm and cheerful laughter gushed in Julian's ears to bring out the fire in Julian's chest.
Whether Febi was heartless or .. The relationship between them was really as Febi said, the past was past ....
"Sir Julian, what do you think of the advice I just said?" the Engineer asked carefully when he saw Julian was pensive and his face looked sour.
"Hmm?" Julian came back to his senses. He realized he had heard nothing the young man said.
His mind was completely troubled by Febi! Damnit damnit!
"Can you say one more time?"
...
After a long time.
After walking out of the waiting room and standing at the door, the red ground that was blown by the cold wind gushed towards Febi. Unknowingly Febi took a step back and covered her face with a design drawing.
But ....
Unexpectedly. While retreating, Febi directly smashed into someone's chest.
"Sorry." Febi quickly apologized, then raised her head and wanted to retreat.
However, looking at that handsome face, his movements suddenly stopped.
Febi looked at Julian from the bottom up, she could still clearly see the firm lines on Julian's face.
Is Julian angry?
Who's covering him up?
"Have you seen enough?" jane asked coldly.
Febi felt embarrassed and immediately shifted her gaze. In the next moment, Febi felt her wrists heavy, Julian's large palm tightly grasping Febi's slender wrist.
Febi's heart trembled, she was greedy for the warmth in her palms. He could barely hold himself back from sticking out his hand and embracing Julian.
However ....
Febi's heart was twisted by Julian's actions and words.
"Miss Febi, please step aside," Julian said, clasping his hand tightly, then Julian pulled Febi away from his chest firmly.
Apparently ... Febi blocked his path ....
Febi's face turned pale. He staggered and leaned against the wall. Julian's hand quickly let go of Febi's hand, not even the slightest bit of reluctance.
Then, Julian walked forward.
His shadow looked arrogant and cold.
Febi stood there in a daze. He felt a chill slowly seeping from the soles of his feet into his heart.
"Sir Julian!" call Febi out of the blue.
Julian wanted to pretend to be indifferent, but Febi's voice still made him stop abruptly.
"This is your outfit." Febi took out the clothes from the plastic bag. She was worried Julian would catch a cold, so she took him and asked Julian to wear it. But now ....
Julian frowned and looked at the clothes Febi was carrying, but he did not extend a hand to pick them up.
"Thank you for borrowing your clothes last time. Now I don't need it anymore." Febi went to great lengths to pretend nothing happened. "I've cleaned it for you. Take it!"
Julian's hand in his pocket tightened until every finger turned white. In the end, he simply said coldly, "Only a single piece of clothing, means nothing to me, just throw it away!"
Doesn't mean ....
A few words that almost made Febi cry.
Febi felt that it was very important, because the clothes seemed to always have the scent of Julian's body, so she was always greedy and felt very warm ....
However, in Julian's eyes, it became meaningless ....
"Whether it means it or not, I still hope Mr. Julian will take it back. It is up to you to throw it away or keep it. I don't want to keep these clothes anymore and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. The clothes I left that day ...." Febi took a deep breath and kept the clothes in Julian's hands, "If it's still there, please Mr. Julian give it back to me."
Julian felt his brows twitch and the neatly folded clothes immediately wrinkled in his grasp.
Those eyes stared intently at Febi until all kinds of emotions surged. Febi let out a light sigh and smiled faintly, "Then I go first, goodbye."
After he finished saying, Febi faced the wind and walked to the construction site. The hair that was under the helmet danced because of the wind.
Her hair was like a sharp iron wire that bound Febi's heart so tightly that it was hard for her to breathe.
"Sir Julian, the car's ready." Ryan came from a distance. When he saw Julian's gloomy expression, he was slightly surprised, "What's wrong? This shirt .…"
"Dump this!" Julian resentfully threw the clothes straight into Ryan's embrace.
Ryan flipped through it and recognized that this suit belonged to Julian. However, Ryan did not ask much, he simply nodded, "OK, immediately."
There's a dumpster not far ahead, Ryan walks fast. Hands up, clothes will fall off.
Julian's white eyebrows stiffened, as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit. She recalled how Febi squatted in the bathroom to help her wash her clothes.
"Wait!" julian shouted slowly and stopped Ryan. Her thin lips pursed and without saying anything, she walked towards Ryan and took back her clothes. Then, as if nothing had happened, he ordered, "Let's go!"
Uh ....
Ryan remained silent.
What the hell's going on?
Two ideas in a minute. Besides, just for a piece of clothing. How strange!
...
When Febi and a group of people had dinner and arrived at the hotel, it was already night. These problems today must be resolved within two days.
"Miss Febi."
As soon as Febi entered the hotel lobby, she heard a voice. Febi looked towards the origin of the voice, she recognized the person in a glance. He was the engineer who spoke to Julian in the waiting room today.
"Is there a problem?"
The man walked directly towards her with a hasty look, "Miss Febi, this is the system report I completed this afternoon. All corrections are in it. Please Miss Febi help me give it to Mr. Julian today. Originally, I was going to wait here until Mr. Julian returns, but something happened at home, so I have to leave immediately."
"Sir Julian hasn't returned to the hotel yet?"
"Hm. Not back yet."
Seeing her so anxious, Febi took the report, "OK, I'll give it to you. Go and get your business done."
"Then please!" The man thanked her, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Febi asked for the front desk for her room number. After returning to the bathroom to take a shower, he simply picked up the report and walked straight to his room.
The doorbell was pressed, but no one answered.
Has he not returned yet?
Febi's a little sleepy. Febi was exhausted all day, she also caught a cold and had taken some medicine, so she would fall asleep easily. However, he was worried that after falling asleep like this, he would delay the affairs of others, so he had to endure.
After getting tired of standing up, he leaned against the door panel, crouched down and continued to wait.
Do not know how long ....
Someone appeared in the corridor of the hotel. Ryan followed behind him.
He waved his hand, "Rest, you don't have to follow me anymore."
"Okay, you also took an early break." After Ryan said good night, he went back to his room. Julian didn't come in right away, but he stood at the corridor window and took out a cigarette.
Tonight, he drinks a lot.
Alcohol is the easiest thing to get rid of anxiety. However, the more he drank, the more conscious he became. Throughout the dinner, Febi's shadow kept appearing in his mind.
What about Febi?
Dinner with those men, has Febi ever thought of Julian?
Julian inhaled a cigarette heavily, but the irritated feeling in his heart became more and more intense. In the next moment, he turned off his cigarette butt heavily. Julian did not glance at the door of Febi's room not far away. Finally, he did not walk there, but he walked back to his room.
As Julian arrived at the door, he was stunned while holding the key card in his hand and forgot to swipe it.
At the door, currently someone was cowering there.
In the dim light, Febi was like a child who had no home. His head was tilted while leaning against the door panel. His eyes closed slowly, it seemed like he had fallen asleep.
Julian looked at Febi, he felt this scene like his own hallucination. However, Febi looked so real in her eyes that she could even hear her breathing clearly.
Julian could feel his chest pounding.
For a moment, for a moment, especially on a night like this ....
Julian slowly crouched down to approach Febi. Looking at that delicate little face, she could not help but tidy up the hair on her cheeks, so that Febi's entire face could be seen by her.
"Julian ...." Suddenly Febi sighed softly, then called out her name. On such a night, the lazy mutter was like a source of fire that suddenly ignited a bomb that had long since sunk in his heart.
The effects of the remaining alcohol flowing over his head, Julian felt his head buzzing. At this moment, all of Julian's depression, anger and thoughts turned into deep feelings and instantly entered every cell in his body.
