" then what's your business here Henry.." I asked with an irritated face.
" have you come just to humble myself..?" connect me now with a more serious intonation.
Henry, who heard my harsh words, made him even more happy and seemed to have won, while Liu's assistant and the ambassadors who saw the two of us arguing could only be silent a thousand words.
" unusually your sweet mouth says dirty Miss Marischka." sneered Henry again
" shut up, Henry..!!"
"it is inappropriate for someone like you to criticize me." I continued, pointing to his face.
I who began to be provoked stood up from the black chair and will say goodbye to the two ambassadors,
" let's go assistant Liu..!" I said to Liu's assistant who was still sitting on the sofa.
" Baa.., good young lady." replied Liu's assistant
immediately Liu's assistant said goodbye and cleaned up everything I had brought earlier including my red tote bag and some papers.
" where are you going...?!" henry asked as he started walking towards me standing up.
" what is your business, Henry." I replied in an annoyed tone.
now Henry and I have met each other face to face, as if there was a psywar between us.
seeing his face getting closer and in front of my eyes as if I wanted to claw with nails from my fingers.
I let out a long sigh, so that Henry would not make fun of me more with his strange eyes.
" why..."
" Hate me yet..? "
" or.., you want to spend the night with me in Bali..? " joked Henry while continuing to bring his tall body closer towards me.
" huh...dumb...!!"
" you're not my level Henry.." I laughed wryly at Henry's childlike behavior.
" we go Assistant Liu.."
" it's free we meet this invitation "my mouth was upset. I walked over and I deliberately bumped my shoulder into him as if hinting if I was unhappy with Henry's presence and his words.
as soon as I finished speaking, Liu's assistant also walked up to me carrying my red tote bag.
mr. Quinlan who stood up tried to calm myself who now seemed to have been burned by the fire of emotion.
" miss Marischka calm down..."
" we'll talk about this carefully first." she panicked as she tried to calm herself down.
seeing my treatment on her, Henry has also begun to be provoked.
" don't bother mister Quinlan." continued Henry, turning his back and looking at me, who was near the exit.
I stopped and kept quiet as I waited for what Henry's mouth would say next.
" we don't need help from women and families like him." Henry said again in a serious tone.
without a word Liu's assistant and I gradually left the meeting room.
the two ambassadors tried to follow me from behind and tried to convince me to go back into the room and talk about this properly.
" i apologize for Mr. Henry miss Kartika's behavior." continued mister Quinlan in a speech that began to panic.
I just kept quiet and tried not to hear the words of mister Quinlan.
just like Mr. Quinlan, Mr. Jonathan tried to dissuade me from leaving the conversation and begged me to continue again.
" pardon us sir Jonathan, Mr. Quinlan..,"
" if we continue our conversation, it will make things even more uncontrollable." Liu's assistant told the two ambassadors to be more accepting of the young lady's choice.
" let our young lady calm down for a moment.."
"it would be better for now." continued Liu's assistant with a reassuring smile.
assistant Liu is trying to calm down the ambassadors to entrust all to her, she will try to persuade me who is currently still in an emotional state.
" if the young lady is calmer.."
" i understand Miss Liu's request.."
" but as the official envoy of the Queen's majesty, this incident really made us uneasy." continued Mr. Quinlan in a tone of regret.
assistant Liu only smiled sweetly looking towards the two ambassadors, again assistant Liu understood the shame borne by the two ambassadors.
" i promise to rearrange the meeting with the young lady." cried assistant Liu with a sweet smile.this time the faces of the two ambassadors had begun to calm down.
I just kept quiet to hear the words of assistant Liu, this time I accelerated my footsteps towards the lobby parking lot.There was already prepared our bodyguards and two black sedan cars.
as soon as I got to the parking lot, the bodyguards opened the door for me and assistant Liu.
" we're straight back to the hotel sir..!!" connect me with a face that is still upset.
soon after, our car left the Ritz-Carlton hotel.
...* * *...
" fucking man...!!" curse me with a voice that I hold back a little.
assistant Liu who heard my frustration could only remain silent and not dare to greet me or even talk to me.
the journey from the Ritz-Carlton hotel to our hotel felt long, somehow the distance that should not be far became like a trip from Jakarta to Bali.
arriving at the hotel I immediately walked towards the direction of my room, assistant Liu who was getting worried took the initiative to ask me.
" sir.., young lady are you okay..??" shouted assistant Liu while following me from behind.
I stopped suddenly and said I was okay
" just relax, Assistant Liu doesn't have to worry." I replied with a smile so that she would no longer worry about my condition.
arriving in my room I lay down on a king-size mattress while thinking about Henry's arrival.
just looking at Henry's face made me feel upset isn't upset.
as I slept, I recalled the events that happened between me and Henry.
...* * *...
intermezo..
once my father and I went to Gloucester England to meet the invitation of Queen Elizabeth there.
I, who was left alone in the mansion of the British royal family, seemed to be at a loss for myself to do what.
I was only eight years old at the time, so I didn't really understand what my father was going to talk about with Queen Elizabeth.
I decided to play alone in the garden of that huge palace, without Liu's assistant making me lonely.
I was unknowingly approached by a girl who was my age.
" why are you playing alone..??" ask the girl to me.
" would you play with me..??" the girl asked as she extended her hand and smiled sweetly at me.
the child was named Charlotte, her beautiful appearance was clearly visible even though she was eight years old, among them was Henry there.
at first I was hesitant to play with them, but there was a girl who convinced me to join the play together.
I who was initially shy finally started to open up and without hesitation played with them.
we played running around laughing as if we had known each other for a long time.
I accidentally fell on Charlotte, causing her elbow to bleed.
seeing that Henry looked angry, and with emotion he lifted me up and pushed me to the ground.
at that time Henry looked at me and looked at me with a hateful look, I was just silent when Henry looked at me with that look
yep....
that was the first time I felt humbled by others, and from that moment on my relationship with Henry was like oil and water.
