Amaya stops her steps when she sees Leo waiting for her on the index porch. The man looked so tired, he wanted to come over and greet her. However, considering what the man did yesterday made him undo the intention.
"Here you go, May, just ignore it!" Amaya nodded. He pulled Fhea's hand into the index.
"May, we need to talk!" Amaya stopped right at the doorway. He sighed softly then released his grasp on Fhea's hand. "May ...."
"You go in first!"
"But, May, you don't have to care about her. Remember what he did yesterday at the mall!"
"I need to talk to him, Fhe. You go in first!" Fhea was about to protest, but quickly Amaya pushed the body of her best friend.
Amaya faces Leo who seems to regret her actions. However, Amaya would not care. "Speak it here!" break Amaya.
"We're talking at a cafe near here, yeah!"
Amaya shakes. He dodged as Leo was about to grab his hand. "Speak here or not at all!"
"All right." Amaya notices Leo who looks difficult to start the conversation. He was worried about the man before him.
Unable to wait for Leo to speak, Amaya finally chose to speak first. "I hope you don't see me anymore. Either here, at the office, or anywhere else. And if we accidentally meet, just assume you don't know me!"
Leo stared at the protest of what Amaya said. "What you see is not what happened, May. I'm just accompanying Femi shopping!"
Amaya smiled cynically. "You realize no, you're lying. You said you'd be out of town in a few days, but after that. You know I don't like being lied to the most!" Amaya regulated her hunting breath due to emotions.
She looked up to hold back her crying. "May!"
"Please!" Amaya held back when she wanted to curse. He looked at Leo. "Please, don't do this. You are a man and you have to have self-respect. I let you go, so you're free to be close to anyone!"
"Huh. Alright. But remember this. Until whenever I still love you!" Leo chose to give up. After saying that he immediately left Amaya.
Amaya's body felt weak, until crouched on the terrace. He ended up crying after trying to hold her in front of Leo for not wanting to look weak.
Amaya remembers Leo, the first man who never looked at her physique. Leo's a man who's always there for him, listening to all his stories. But all of that he had to forget. Amaya can't stand being with a lying man.
She was so scared and traumatized by what happened to her parents. His father always managed to lie to his mother by cheating.
"May, what's wrong with you?" Amaya lifted her face. She looked at Fhea's panicked face then wiped her tears away.
"Help me up, Fhe!"
"Leo what are you? He must be given a kick to be self-conscious!"
Amaya shook her head and asked Fhea to lead her in, she felt her body so limp and unable to walk.
"Thank you, yeah. Just relax, I'm fine!"
Amaya smiled faintly looking at Fhea's worried face. He held Fhea's hand and hugged her best friend's arm. "Yes, but if there's anything you should tell me, yeah." Amaya just nodded.
"Honestly, May. I've been telling you a long time, but I can't bear it!"
Amaya let go of her grasp. He looked at Fhea fixedly. "What's wrong?"
"Actually I've seen Leo go with Femi. But I'm afraid to tell you. I'm afraid you're disappointed and angry, especially if I know you love her! But now, thank goodness that you saw for yourself what they did and broke up with him!"
"Yes, Fhe. Thanks for telling me!"
"Huh, I'm so happy. How do I think if you're dating Mr. Dave. Wow, that's perfect, May!" janda Fhea who managed to make Amaya become misbehaved.
Fhea's offending remarks about Dave made her remember the man's behavior towards her. This afternoon, Dave reached out to Amaya by making a video call.
"Eh, why, huh? How to smile for yourself?"

Amaya was still cleaning her desk, but she was struck by the morning greeting of a familiar voice. "Sir Dave?"
"Morning, May!"
Amaya just nodded. He noticed Dave coming straight to work. Curious why Dave had entered work despite being sick, Amaya quickly followed Dave in his room.
"May, what's wrong?" Amaya hesitantly approached Dave who was watching her with a confused look.
"Sir Dave when do you get out of the hospital? Why not rest first? Mr. Dave's face still looks pale, sir!"
Instead of answering Amaya's consecutive questions, Dave laughed softly. Dave approached Amaya and asked her to sit on the sofa. "You're worried about me, May?"
Amaya nodded. "Is that wrong, sir?"
"Of course not, dong! But you should know that today you look different. You seem to be worried about me once again!" Amaya snorted softly because she heard Dave's words. "Don't be mad, May. I'm really glad you're worried!"
"Sir!"
"I don't feel at home in the hospital, May, and luckily the doctor gave me permission of origin ...." Dave stopped his words and stared fixedly at Amaya's shady eyes.
"Origin?"
"I'm going to the hospital for control. You want to take me, don't you, May?"
Amaya unhesitatingly nodded in agreement. "I want to, Sir!"
"Goodoo. But, why does your face look sad, May?"
"I'm just tired, sir. I couldn't sleep last night!" lied Amaya. He still thinks about Leo.
"Did something happen? That night you asked me to keep my promise, didn't you, May? So you don't tell the story. I'll be there for you!"
"Sir Dave did it out of guilt?"
"Why ask that? What did I say seemed like out of guilt in the past?" Amaya sees Dave's dislike for his words. However, he wanted to find out why Dave dared to promise like that. "If I told you I did it because I feel the same way you do, would you still consider it guilt, May?"
"Sir, I have to get back to work!" Amaya immediately stood up and was about to leave, but Dave swiftly blocked Amaya's hand and pulled her until Amaya's light body fell on her lap. "Sir!" protest Dave.
Honey, Dave paid no heed to Amaya's protesting gaze at him. The man wrapped his hands around Amaya's waist tightly and moved his face closer to Amaya's. "Sir, don't do this!" Amaya held Dave's chest with her hands. He doesn't want Dave to do more.
"Why, May?" Amaya sees Dave's annoying grin.
Amaya shook her head and turned her face as Dave's face drew closer. "You smell good, May!" dave whispered near Amaya's ear.
Amaya turned her head and was shocked as Dave pressed their lips short. He seemed so surprised at what Dave did. "Sir!"
Dave put his face away. He smiled faintly and said, "That's proof that my promise isn't playful, May!"
The woman immediately broke free from Dave's embrace and quickly left. He was so ashamed of what Dave had done to him.
Amaya really blushed and enjoyed that short touch. He touched his lips and smiled faintly back in view of the thrilling and embarrassing moment.
"Amaya, what are you thinking?" Amaya curses her own pleasure and chooses to return to her desk.
"Sister Dave has arrived?" Amaya looked up and stared fixedly at the young woman she had met yesterday at the hospital.
"Sir Dave is in the room!"
The woman nodded and left Amaya, but when she opened the door she turned to Amaya and said, "Please don't bother first by entering the room, we have to discuss a serious matter. About engagement!"
Amaya was stunned and nodded.
