This morning after I put the bag in the study, I went to Chris's room to take care of the wound. I pressed the doorbell button.
Tong!
Not long before the door opened. Chris already looks neat wearing work pants and a white shirt. I closed the door to his room.
"Please get my das in the dresser drawer!" pinta Chris to me.
"It's Chris!" I said as I gave the tie to him.
"Do you think I can wear a tie with one hand? Help me wear it!" his orders were cynical to me.
I had to put a tie on him. His tall body made it difficult for him to reach his neck. It seems like she was deliberately making things difficult for me, she should have bent down so that I could easily reach her neck.
Already on tiptoes but not up too. He remained unmoved, his facial expression remained flat as well.
"Chris, please bend me not until." I asked.
Suddenly leaned her face so close to my face. I tried to ignore it, even though it was uncomfortable with such a close distance.
I can clearly smell her body in this close distance. The fragrant body that used to hold me gently. Aah, I can't think there. I've cleared up all the weird thoughts.
"Ok, already!" I said as I stepped back.
However, that was as fast as it was also his hand catching my body. Right now he's sticking his forehead on my forehead.
"Chris stop! Release me! This is not in our agreement!" I said while trying to get away from him.
"I'm sorry I almost got out of control" Chris replied as he let go of her hug from me.
"Please don't do it again. I'm here representing the resort. So if you act brash, I can sue you too." I threatened.
"Ok, take care of my wounds immediately. In 30 minutes I have a meeting. And please make sure your staff to set up your meeting room. I don't want my meeting interrupted." he ordered.
"Ok, I briefly called the resort staff to make sure the meeting room was ready" I replied and then called my colleague.
"They said everything was ready. Get your hands, I'll change the case." I said.
Chris gave me his hand. His gaze was straight towards my face. I keep trying not to care. I thought I should finish up and get out of this room.
"Already! Later in the afternoon I will change my case again." I said.
"Hmm." she replied.
Immediately I tidy the wound equipment. Then get out of Chris' room.
***
I had lunch at the cafeteria that the resort provided for its workers. I sat down with Lilac.
"Mom, our guests who were in a bar accident are weird, aren't they? I asked Mom to treat the wound. There are other staff. After all, the time to treat the wound was done by the Financial Manager." asked Lilac astonished.
"Don't we already know Lilac, if VIP guests like to ask us strange things. It often does not even make sense to us. But as part of our service, it must inevitably be granted as long as it can still be tolerated" I replied trying to convince Lilac.
"Yes, ma'am. It's just weirder than usual." he was still curious.
"Not to think about it! All we have to think about now, the report has to be done" I said trying to put an end to Lilac's curiosity.
"Hi Sall! Hi Lilac!" greet Neth to us.
"Hi Neth!" my answer.
"Can join?" ask Neth.
"Please!" I answered to let Neth sit down.
"Sally, thank you for the help. Sorry to add to your work" Neth said.
"Thank you again Neth. This is for our resort as well. So don't worry" I said.
My lyrics Lilac bowed silently without saying a word. There seems to be something wrong with Neth's presence. Okay, I need to know myself.
"Neth, I'm done. I go first! Lilac has not finished her food, can accompany you to eat." my saying as I went to take my food tray.
"Mom." said Lilac clumsily.
"That's Lilac, you finish your meal. Mr. Neth is good." I said with a smile glancing at Neth also who followed the wrong behavior.

I took a deep breath before I pressed Chris's doorbell.
Tinctong!
No waiting for the door to his room to open. This time he was still wearing clothes like the one he was wearing this morning.
"Chris, if you haven't had a bath like this, how would I change the case. All right, I'll go first. In 30 minutes I'm back. Please take a shower at that time." I said as I moved from the chair to the door.
"No need!" answer Chris.
"You mean?" I said, the answer made me stop my steps.
"You don't have to go. I won't be long." she replied as she stepped into the bathroom.
I prepared P3K equipment for him. Waiting for Chris to finish the shower.
It wasn't until 10 minutes that he was out of his room. But only wearing shorts and a bathrobe.
"Well, it's done. I'm coming home Chris!" I said stand up to the exit.
"Wait!!" said restraining me.
"Otherwise? I changed the case." I replied.
"Yesterday.. Thanks for last night. Your embrace calms me down. The nightmare was no longer present after you hugged me and let me fall asleep on your lap" she said softly.
"Thank God it was like that. I didn't mean anything to do it. Just as a friend who cares about his friend." I said.
Hearing my words Chris smiled wryly.
"So.that's it?" ask Chris.
"Yes, I can only be your friend Chris" I replied firmly.
"I don't want Sally! I want you, and only you!" said glumly.
"Chris. I can't. Our story is over." I said.
"Please excuse me, Sally, just give me one chance. I beg!" door's welding.
"Sorry.." I replied as I continued my steps.
Chris was behind me. Hugged me from behind as tightly as I used to.
"Chris stop! Unhand me!" my orders.
Instead of letting go of me, she tightened her arms and kissed my cheeks and neck.
"Chris stop!!" I said screaming and trying to make a fight.
"No Sally, you are mine." she whispered in my ear.
"Chris please don't be so insolent!!" my screams are getting louder in his arms.
I stomped my feet hard on the ones behind me.
"Ouch!!" squeal Chris.
Hugs loosening. I took that chance to escape. But it turned out that he was more willing to pull my hand.
"Chris, I beg you not to be like this." I asked in tears.
Seeing my cry Chris was weakening.
"Sorry Sally, but I don't want to lose you" he said.
"You're selfish Chris, I'm a human being not an item. I also have a heart for feeling. You used to look at me, I didn't protest or get angry. I let you go with your choice of heart." I said sobbing.
"Then now, you easily ask me to be yours again. In fact, it was rude to me. Is that a reply to my willingness when you just leave?"
"A few days ago, I knew you were playing tricks on me. Instead of resort compensation to you. But I still do. Until last night when you had a bad dream. I'm willing to wait for you to fall asleep." I'm interrupted in tears.
"Right now I can't be yours anymore. I already have someone else, and I love him too. I can only be your friend." I said.
"I'll keep waiting and keep an eye on you Sally!" said.
"What did Chris do? Are you sure the feeling you have for me is not just an obsession? You've always had your obsession with Jo. But look now? Stop Chris, learn to live well. Find the woman you really love." I said.
"I found him, Sally. The woman I really love is you. It's not my obsession like Jo used to be." replied Chris.
"I don't think Chris. If you loved me, you wouldn't have done that. If you really love me you will take care of me. And you will try to draw my heart to you. Not by force like that." I said.
"Ok, if that's what you want, Sally. I'll try to get you back to me." she replied, bowing.
No more answers from me. I stepped on and on leaving Chris alone.

Ring..
"Yes Dean, I've reached the lobby. Wait a minute." I replied to Dean who called me.
Up ahead Dean waved his hand at me.
"Darling, how come you're so moody?" ask Dean to me.
"Here is Dean, work problem. Let's go home!" ask me to divert Dean not to ask more.
Yeah, well, what happened between me and Chris was part of my job paying for the resort. Although there are other elements.
A cold wind hit our faces that were currently on Dean's motorbike. I hugged Dean's waist tight, not as usual. I'm trying to calm myself down over what happened with Chris.
Dean smiled as he felt his waist being tightly hugged by me.
