Hi Love Come Back
chapter.39. He's Coming Again
4 Hours past 30 minutes, a few hours past the early morning. I woke up from my beautiful dream. I was flying high in the clouds. Turns out, I'm still here. In my room, which is brown and white.
6 Missed calls. An unfamiliar number appeared there. It became a habit when I fell asleep, mobile phone on vibrating mode.
My phone is back shaking. I picked up because I was worried that it was an important phone.
"Hallo!" my answer.
"You'll finally lift up, too. I'm here, I'm looking for you, I miss you. Why don't you come too? Huh!!" there was a voice across there.
Not long ago there was a noise, and panic from the phone that had not been closed by that person.
"Hallo.. hello.., who is this?" my many.
Phone disconnected, no more answers from there.
"Ah. seems like a phone from a prankster. But why is there a commotion there. What's going on?" my thinking.
I called someone back there. A connecting tone is heard, indicating the phone is still active. But there were no signs of being removed. After trying a few times, I decided not to call her again.

"Good morning baby, I'm taking you today?" text message from Dean coming in.
"You're late, I'm on my way to the office" I replied.
"Much morning?" ask Dean.
"Yes, there's a morning meeting. I have to recheck the report before the meeting." I replied.
"Well, failed to meet a lover in the morning deh 😥" said Dean.
"Sorry 🙄" I replied.
"Hopefully the meeting is smooth, baby" Dean said cheeringly.
"thank you. You are also the spirit of his work." replied me again.
I just got to Glaede Resort.
Once we got to the office, some staff arrived. Looks like something's exciting. They seem to be gathering.
"Pity when his life looks perfect. I hope the injury isn't serious" Claire said.
"Well, what looks isn't always as beautiful as reality." Jean chimps.
"For the morning!! In the morning there is something exciting like that." I said to them.
"For Miss Sally! That's ma'am, at our bar at dawn something fell on the glass table. Thankfully, his injuries were not serious. Even if she falls into a drunken state herself, hopefully she doesn't talk about our resort." Jean explained.
"Oh like that. Let's get to work! You guys came early to prepare for the meeting later, right?" my many.
"Hehe., yes ma'am." Jean replied and headed to her desk. Followed by other staff starting their respective work.

"What's this? I ask, you must compensate! You should serve your guests well!!" shouted a man with a bandage-clad hand to the resort staff who looked down in fear.
"Sorry for our negligence Sir. We will try to meet the request for compensation from Mr." replied Customer Relations Manager resort.
"Ok, I want to meet your Finance Manager. I don't want to see you guys again. I wait until lunch" he replied.
"Well Sir!" answer the hotel staff.
Strange requests from VIP guests are indeed often received. Especially now that one of the VIP guests is having problems at our resort bar.
***
Tok tok !
"Yes in!" answer me from within.
"Sally, I need your help!" our Neth Customer Relations Manager.
"So dawn there was our VIP guest who had an accident at the bar while drunk. I've been visiting him. But he asked for compensation, and asked you to go straight to him. I've got permission from Mr. Lucas. According to Mr. Lucas, it's good we obey the wishes of the guest. That's why I was asked to see you." Neth explained to me.
"OK, when can I see that guest?" my many.
"Fastly before lunch!" answer Neth.
"What's? 30 Minutes to go." I said in shock.
I packed into the room where the guest was. Neth drove me to the front of the room.
Tinctong! I press the chamber bell.
"Who?" ask for a voice inside.
"I'm Sally Finance Manager at our resort Sir!" my answer introduced itself.
"Ok, only you can enter" replied the man in the room.
I had my doubts, because later on inside it was just me and that guy. Neth assures me that I will stand guard in front of the room if I need her help.
The door opened, a man behind me walked towards the sofa.
"Close door!" the man's orders were to me.
I closed the room door, having previously asked Neth not to go from there.
"Sorry for our negligence, please forgive him. We promise to improve our service even better" I said.
"Hmm." replied the man still behind me.
I slowly headed towards the sofa he pointed at.
He turned to look at me.
"I want you to compensate for your negligence. I don't need the money. I need it in another form" he said.
"You?" I said surprised.
A moment later I tried to calm down and act professional.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean? We will try to meet the compensation as you want." I replied.
"Ok, I want you to take care of me until my wounds are completely healed" he said.
"But sir." I replied cut off.
"There are no exceptions. That's the compensation I asked for. And I don't want anyone else to do it. A day 2x morning and evening you have to come here and take care of my wounds" he said.
I took a deep breath. "Well Sir!" my answer is to surrender for the good name of our resort. It is not a work contrary to morality.
"Goody! You will be here later in the afternoon. Because the morning is over, and it's lunchtime. I'm asking you to accompany me to lunch here!" his orders.
"Good Sir! I will order the food soon. What do you want to eat?" my many.
"Anything!" the answer.
Not long for the food to come. Neth has returned to her room, I have explained what the restitution request from our guest is.
"May the food we prepared fit your taste. Happy enjoying!" I said, letting him eat.
"It's not what I want. Prepare the food for me. You don't see my hand wrapped?" he said with annoyance.
"Well Sir!" I approached to feed him food.
"You're not willing to do it? There was no smile at all" he said as his unharmed hand clasped my hand tightly.
"Chris! Please play enough with me. I have accepted your request in exchange for our resort. But please don't make it hard anymore." beg him with a bowed face
"Look at me Sally! Are there not a few of your feelings left for me?" he asked while pointing his face at me.
"Chris, the past is past. Don't you bring it up again. You already have a family. And I already have my own life." I answered trying to dodge his approaching face.
"No Sally! I've been ruined. There is no family anymore. Jo never really loved me. What he loves is his career. I was so stupid to accept him again. Jo's first husband was married just to pursue a career. Right now he's leaving me for someone else who is more supportive of his career" Chris said with a sad look.
"Sorry Chris.. I don't want to know about your personal life. Right now I'm just representing the resort, nothing more!" I said.
"But what I love is you Sally! I only realized when I met you here again at that time. I realized I didn't love Jo, I was just chasing my obsession" Chris said.
"Sorry Chris, I have to get back to work again. You continue eating yourself. Later in the afternoon I come back to change your gauze." I replied as I got off the sofa and patted Chris' hand which started to loosen up on my hand.
Chris was silent as I lived alone in his room.
***
In the afternoon, I went back to Chris' room to do my job.
I was more silent, and spoke as necessary. Chris seemed to notice me who was bandaging a wound in his hand.
"Ok, already! I'm saying home. Tomorrow morning I'm here again." I said with a flat face then got off the couch to leave.
Chris also got off the couch, but he headed to the mini bar to pick up a bottle of alcohol and then downed it.
Seeing that, I approached him. Trying to stop his actions so as not to arise new problems again at our resort.
"Chris, enough! I don't let you get drunk and add to the problems at this resort." I said as I snatched the bottle from him.
"What doyou care? Go ye! Is that what you want?" chris said take the bottle back from me, then drink it again.
"Chris, I beg you!" I said weld.
"I want to stop him if you're with me tonight. I need a friend, and I want you." he said.
"I can't Chris." I replied.
"Yes if you can't. You have no right to ban me" he said cynically.
"You don't think that I'm asking you to accompany me to bed all night. I'm not that low. I just need someone to share my grief. At least until I fall asleep. Enough only tonight." he continued.
I hesitated to leave him at the risk of getting drunk, and then making new trouble. Or accompany him to complain.
All right, I'll accompany him. I hope he falls asleep quickly.
"Dean, I'm late at the office. There's something I need to get done." I sent Dean a text message.
The truth is I didn't lie to Dean. What I do, part of my job is keeping the resort's good name. That's my only goal.
"Dear, don't eat late. Keep health. I love you so much." replied Dean
"I love you too." I replied to Dean ending our text message.
"Ok, give me the bottle. I'm with you complaining tonight." I said.
Chris gave me the bottle. Then smile happily.
