Love And Friendship

Billing Promises

***

In the morning, Amel was in his office. Today he is in his own office, CBM Company. He had a lot of work to do, because it had been almost three weeks he had not come to the office since the plane crash.

While he was busy with documents piling up, his phone vibrated because there was a message coming in.

📩 Vina

" Mell, can we meet?"

📩 Amel

" What's up?"

📩 Vina

" You asked what is it? Hey, Miss Camella don't play with me!"

📩 Amel

" I'm busy, Vin, tomorrow."

📩 Vina

" no. I want us to meet today. You promised you'd help me."

📩 Amel

" Why can't you be so impatient, Vin? I have a lot of work to do. Just interrupt it."

📩 Vina

" I don't care. I'll wait for lunch at Cafe Star. Just be careful if you don't come!"

Amel simply read the message without replying. Amel then put his phone and threw his body on the back of his chair. Amel then contacted Bella through the intercom in her room.

" What's wrong Mel?" Even in the office, Bella never be formal to Amel. That's because Amel himself asked for it, because his employees and business partners only know Amel as one of the CEO's trustees just like Bella.

" Cancel my schedule this afternoon. After lunch I'll be home."

" Tumben you want to go home fast."

" I have an appointment with someone. He met at Cafe Star at lunchtime. So I can't predict when I'll be back."

" All right, I'll take care of everything." As he was about to turn around to get out, Amel's phone rang. Bella sees Vina's name on Amel's phone screen. Bella frowned, between confusion and disbelief. Amel then picked up his phone.

" What else is it?"

" ... "

" Well, I'll see you at lunchtime."

Amel's conversation is still being heard by Bella because she hasn't been able to get out of the room yet.

Amel smiled as he looked at Bella's back that was getting further away.

Meanwhile, Bella was standing in her room. She wants to believe Amel, but Jessi's words yesterday can't be lost from her memory.

" Is it true that Amel and Vina are working together. If Amel cooperated with Vina, she would have her own reasons. There's no way he's gonna destroy his best friend." muttered Bella. Bella who does not want to take a headache and send a message to Jessi.

📩 Bella

" Jess, at lunchtime Amel will meet Vina at Cafe Star."

📩 Jessi

" What?? I told you there was something between Amel and Vina. We should go there later Bell."

📩 Bella

" I can't Jess, I'm afraid Amel is suspicious of me. You're the one who left. Or just take the others."

📩 Jessi

" All right then. But how do you know Amel's gonna meet Vina at Cafe Star."

📩 Bella

" Amel told me to cancel his schedule this afternoon because there was an appointment with someone. Then I accidentally saw her phone when Vina called her. And Amel said they'd meet this afternoon at Cafe Star."

📩 Jessi

📩 Bella

" 🥵🥵🥵"

Amel rushes to Cafe Star during lunchtime. He was sure Vina must have been furious from waiting for him for too long.

" I'm sorry, I'm late" said Amel.

" I'm waiting for you Mel."

" Who told you to come quickly. I've got a lot of work."

" Ketus very much Mel. You promised to help me. I can't wait any longer."

" What's the matter? You want to go back to Paris again?"

" no. I've settled here."

" Why can't wait."

" It's Mel's heart problem. If I don't hurry, he's already tied his heart."

" It's easy, you cut the rope. It'll be off her bond."

" Yes if you can escape. If not?"

" I'll cut it with a saw for you. Guaranteed one hundred percent off." Amel and Vina laughed. After the waiter brought their order, Amel and Vina finished their lunch in silence.

Without Amel and Vina realizing, from earlier their conversation was heard by Amel's best friend who was sitting in the next room and only limited by a curtain. Jessi had already seen Vina, so she deliberately chose a place adjacent to the table of Amel and Vina.

" Do you suspect Amel, Jess?" willy asked after they heard Amel and Vina's conversation.

" What about you?" jessi asked Meisya, Sandra, Steve, Willy and Rendi. Actually Jessi strongly believes in Amel, she has known Amel since childhood. Amel will not sacrifice their friendship. But he also wanted to know the opinions of his friends.

" Maybe Amel is planning something. I trust Amel completely" Meisya said.

" I'm sure it's a misunderstanding." Sandra added.

Steve, Willy and Rendi did not dare to comment. They were afraid that their words would ruin the girl's friendship and brotherhood. But Steve had recorded the conversation Amel and Vina. Who knows if one day the recording will be necessary.

" I'm actually still curious about Defa and Dian's story. Does anyone of you know?" ask Steve.

" Only Defa and Amel know the matter. Although Defa is the main character, but Amel is the one who knows the real problem. Because Defa doesn't know what happens when he's in a coma" Jessi said.

" We haven't had time to ask Amel. As for Defa, he prefers to keep that secret." added Sandra.

" How is Johan's situation?" ask Meisya. Frankly, he was very worried about Johan.

" He was a bit hit with what Amel said the other day. Although only a few facts revealed by Amel, but the impact is very extraordinary for Johan." replied Rendi.

" Amel was amazing at tearing down other people's feelings" Willy said.

" It's not just the feeling, sister, your business will be ruined if you look for trouble with her" Jessi said.

" Your friend attacked. He could even turn into lion mode by arriving" Steve said.

" How will Evan deal with it yes." said Rendi.

" They're both like tom and jerry. Getting married would be fun" Jessi said.

" Marriage is fun. What's the first night" said Riko who had just come with Johan. Jessi immediately choked to hear Riko's words, while Meisya and Sandra were silent with faces that were already blushing.

" Your tumbens gather here, usually to Johan's restaurant." added Riko again.

" Why did you come here yourself?" ask Rendi.

" We've met the client before, and when we came home we didn't hear your voice" Johan said.

" Eh Jess, if you want to know the excitement after marriage. Ask Johan. He's experienced." said Riko, patting Johan on the shoulder.

" Apaan the hell" Jessi said embarrassedly.

Her friend's friend just smiled seeing Jessi's reaction.
