Love Because Love
ARNOLD
Seeing Laurel's eyes glaring in shock after reading what was written on the card, Freya immediately snatched the card in Laurel's hand and read it quickly, made her eyes bulge and looked straight at Laurel.
"What the fuck is this brother? Who sent this card to my sister?" Laurel immediately shook her head at Freya's question.
"Take a prankster who's out of work, '" Laurel walks up to her dresser and grabs her briefcase.
"Eh, I have to hurry to leave, later we will discuss, just throw away the flower," Laurel who just glanced at the wall clock given by Dave who has been installed by Ujang on Freya's orders, said, hurriedly ran out to immediately leave for her workplace, leaving Freya still looking at the flowers and cards in her hand with a frown trying to guess who was roughly prank on Laurel.

"Have you received an invitation from Arnold?" Luciana and Nia who were sitting in front of Laurel at the hospital cafeteria table immediately nodded their heads at Laurel's question.
"Are we the only ones invited?" Hearing Laurel's question, Luciana and Nia simply shook their heads.
"Maybe Feri and Roy were also invited, but I haven't had time to ask them, yet" Luciana grabbed a glass in front of her and drank an iced orange that had just been delivered to her desk by one of the waiters.
"Doctor Lusiana," Luciana turned her head immediately to hear her name called, seeing Mira walking closer to him.
"The boss told the doctor to see the boss after the break" Luciana nodded her head at Mira's words.
"Then, please continue with the lunch doc, excuse me," Mira smiled before leaving the three of them, letting them return to enjoy her lunch.
"Eh, actually I was very curious about Mira, all this time about her boss taking care of her, I was curious." Nia stopped her words for a moment.
"Any wonder about what?" Lusiana asked as her hands were busy peeling the salak fruit that was on her desk.
"I wonder if he knows the boss already has a lover yet? What kind of girl does the boss like. Or to what extent the boss' relationship with doctor Hana," Hearing Nia's wishful thinking, Luciana immediately laughed.
"That thought when it comes to the boss, it seems like his lips are tightly closed with plaster, he will not divulge it in the least. Don't think about it, don't tell me you want to get close to the boss," Nia laughed at Luciana's words, while Laurel laughed, remembering when he seduced Mira to ask for leaked information about Dave's intention to call him to the office but at least he did not manage to get the info from Mira's lips.
"I dare to aspire that high, just curious. Uh, Laurel, don't be angry, yes, we want to ask you something, "Lusiana slightly gasped at Nia's words, with her eyes Luciana immediately signaled Nia not to continue speaking, because at this time he knew very well what Nia would ask Laurel, but Laurel first saw the code from the eyes of Luciana.
"Why with you guys? Just ask what you guys want to ask, no need to hesitate," Laurel looked at Nia with a smile, showing the moment she was really serious about what she just said.
"Ehmmm, I'm sorry to mention you, only we were actually curious about what happened some time ago. We saw the boss pull your hand into his office with a tense face, what's the matter?" Laurel slightly furrowed her eyebrows, of course there must have been one or two people who saw the incident, even though it was quiet hours in the hospital let alone the road to Dave's office, but certainly one or two people must have seen the incident, fortunately who saw the incident Nia and Luciana who incidentally was not a gossip.
"That time the boss saved me from Grandma Nuri and her granddaughter, two strange people that I told you about a while ago," Nia and Luciana looked at each other at Laurel's explanation.
"But it's not just Granny Nuri's problem. At that time my stomach acid was relapsing, the boss took me to his office and gave me medicine, that's all, nothing else," Nia and Lusiana looked at each other, then both looked at Laurel with a smile. Laurel herself felt no need to explain the details of the day's events. If they heard that Dave took her to his greenhouse not even once, Laurel did not guarantee that Luciana and Nia would be able to stand not telling the others.

"Come in" Hearing a voice from Dave letting her in after he knocked on the door 2-3 times, Luciana opened the door to Dave's room.
"Yes, sit down first, I have something I need to discuss with you," Luciana walked over to Dave's desk, taking a sitting position in front of him.
"Yes boss, how can I help you?"
"Doctor Arman's wife is sick all of a sudden, she should picket tonight, can you replace her picket for today?"
"Eh, instead of not wanting to be the boss, tonight, me, Nia and Laurel got an invitation to have dinner with Arnold to celebrate Arnold's birthday," Dave slightly furrowed his brows hearing what Luciana said.
"But take it easy boss, I'll tell Arnold I can't come, let Nia and Laurel come," Luciana hurriedly took her phone from her doctor's pocket.
"Only the three of you are invited?" Luciana was just about to open her phone screen when Dave asked about who was invited.
"I don't know the boss. Immediately I sent a message to Arnold to tell him I could not come to attend his invitation," Dave nodded and smiled at what Luciana said, but a moment later after Lusiana opened the phone screen, her forehead was slightly wrinkled, made Dave wonder in his heart what had happened.
"Eh, boss, thank God, just now Arnold said his dinner invitation for me was postponed next week, because later tonight he had something to do with someone," Dave raised his eyebrows slightly hearing an explanation from Luciana.
"If you may know, where are your original plans for dinner?"
"At the boss's M restaurant, at 7pm tonight," Dave was a little stretched, but he hurriedly controlled the changes to his face so that Luciana would not notice his shock. For dinner with friends or friends it seems like restaurant M is a little excessive. Restaurant M is famous for romantic restaurants, either from the design of the room or the arrangement of chairs and views (view) for visitors who come with their partners. Even the food menus are served using romantic terms and served with a garrison that seems romantic.
Dave really knew about the details of the restaurant, because it was one of his family-owned businesses run directly by his younger sister. If a man invited a meal at the restaurant, you can be sure it was not just a mediocre dinner.

When Laurel entered the M restaurant, Arnold waved his hand from a distance, making Laurel smile and walk to the table where Arnold was sitting.
"Good night, happy birthday," Arnold smiled at Laurel who today looks still beautiful despite wearing a dress that seems simple with pastel colors. Arnold slightly held his breath, whatever Laurel was wearing would not seem to be able to hide the beauty of the girl.
"Where are the others? Nothing is visible yet? Only the two of us came?" Laurel glanced at the watch in her hand, the clockwork showing it at 19:00 exactly.
"What do you want to drink? Let me call it waitress (Waitress is a female waitress in a restaurant who works to eat and drink restaurant guests professionally. While her male ministry was referred to as Waiter)," Laurel hurriedly shook her head at Arnold's offer.
"We'll just wait for them to get a message, maybe they're late," Arnold could only smile, saying he heard Laurel's words. Laurel turned her eyes to the side. It seems that the seat chosen by Arnold today is really special. Their seats are in the southernmost position, separated by glass to be able to look towards the park which is south of the restaurant. To the west of the park is a fish pond decorated with artificial waterfalls whose water besides flowing from above, beside it appears a statue of the cupid god with his wings on the left right by carrying his bow, with the position ready to shoot his arrows, around him seemed colorful lights illuminate the pool, making the scenery in the pool look beautiful. In the middle of the park looks heart-shaped lights, adding to the romantic impression of the restaurant they are visiting tonight.
"Arnold, why are they so late?" Arnold was a little nervous to hear the question from Laurel, his hands scratching his head which was actually not itchy to cover his nervousness. Laurel looked around her, for some reason she felt strange to see within 15 meters of them no one seemed to be sitting on the restaurant chair.
"Laurel's sorry, actually, I'm the one who canceled tonight's appointment with all of them. I'm sorry, there's something I want to tell you." Laurel was immediately shocked, not just because of Arnold's words, but because from the front of his position to sit came a figure of a man who immediately took a position sitting at the table of the restaurant that was west of Laurel and Arnold was sitting. Because Laurel sat east of Arnold, automatically the new man came face to face with him, while Arnold the position of the man was behind Arnold.
