My Annoying Superstar's

Don't disturb my girlfriend

Noa was stunned to hear Tian's statement. It felt like the atmosphere was becoming so awkward.

Tian still looked at Noa expectantly. Hope Noa gives the answer she wants. I hope Noa likes him just as much as she likes Noa.

The sound of the sea water sounded clear, becoming the backsound of an awkward atmosphere between them.

" Tian, I'm sorry. I can't" Noa replied still the same as before.

Tian lowered his head, he already thought that Noa would not be easy to conquer.

" I have someone else Tian" continued Noa hoping that answer would make Tian retreat.

"I know", replied Tian quickly. " But I still want you. Because I like you Noa" replied Tian.

" but... I can't. I'm sorry", Noa replied for sure.

Tian smiled, he knew a girl like Noa could not be forced. Noa's different. Other women may be lulled with money and jewelry. But Noa, she will be lulled with genuine care and love as a friend and lover.

" all right. Then can I be your best friend?", asked Tian.

Noa smiled kindly "Yes, of course, we are friends" Noa replied.

“So what did Tian tell you?”; asked Cleo.

“ He declares his love for me”, Noa replied as she stared at Mili who was pacing back and forth under her feet.

“ Seriously? Wah crazy. . since when?”, asked Cleo.

“ Since SMA”, answer Noa again.

“ Well.. I told you, he likes you Noa. He always looks at you constantly if again extracurricular with”, cried Cleo on the phone. 

“ Do not loudly say it, later Ran hear”, said Noa. 

“ Oh yes sorry.maaf”, Cleo immediately realized that they were talking about a secret thing. “ Are you worried now?”, asked Cleo.

“ No. I'm not worried, because I really like Cruz. It's just, I got a little awkward with him” Noa replied. “ I thought, all the kindness he gave me was because he liked me Cle and it became a burden for me “, Noa said.

“ Yes I understand you mean Noa. Did Cruz know you left with Tian yesterday?”, asked Cleo.

“ Yes, I already told Cruz and I feel guilty because it”, Noa said.

“ Guilty why?”, Cleo confused.

“ I should have heard his words. There is no friendship between man and woman. But I insist on saying that we were just friends and Cruz said it happened”, Noa said.

“ Actually Cruz told you because you're not sensitive to Noa. You always don't realize there's a guy who likes you. You just lack sensitivity”, Cleo said.

“ It seems so Cle”, Noa agreed Cleo's words. 

“ But did you know Tian ever came to your father's funeral?”, Cleo asked carefully.

Noa was a little surprised. “ Tian came to my father's funeral? I did not meet him”, Noa replied. Of course at that time Noa was very shaken, tears always wet her cheeks. Noa could not be sure who had come to share her grief. 

“ Yes at that time you were too shocked to know the people of Noa. I met and greeted him at the time and I was pretty sure I saw tears on his cheeks. Is it possible that she cried back then?”, Cleo asked as to herself.

Noa fell silent, not expecting what Cleo had just said. What Noa was really insensitive to the point of not knowing Tian had paid so much attention to him all along.

Cruz pacing in Loco's room. Brook who has been trying to practice the lyrics that are part of it is disturbed by Cruz's activity. 

“ Cruz, please sit down. Are there pinworms in your gut, until you keep pacing back and forth? I can't concentrate”, Brook's angry. 

Of course, their agenda gathered in Loco's room was to talk about his comeback. But the two were busy with their own thoughts. 

“ What's with Noa?”, Loco asked.

“ There was another man who tried to snatch it from me”, Cruz replied unceremoniously.

“ Just kick that guy”, Loco said as he flipped the paper in his hand.

“ I was planning to beat him”, Cruz replied.

“ Who?”, asked Brook curiously.

“ Christian, CEO of G” company, Cruz replied while closing his eyes.

“ Aren't you their BA? you can be demanded”, Brook said in shock. 

“ But I'd love to hit him on the head, let him realize that Noa is my girlfriend”, Cruz said determinedly.

“ What is Letu's response?”, asked Loco calmly.

“ He said he would kill me and kill himself if I broke that contract”, Cruz replied annoyed.

Brook and Loco laughed at Cruz's manager's reply.

" In that case, you better take care of Noa more strictly. Don't let Tian find her" Loco said with a laugh but it was serious advice from her.

Cruz was silent and did not respond. He was still thinking about how to get to meet Tian as soon as possible. ***

In the end Cruz met Tian at a charity event held by a Tian-owned company. Since Cruz is the BA of the Tian company then Cruz has to attend the event.

After the charity was over, Cruz walked over to Tian who was standing with his assistant. 

“ Can we talk to the CEO for a moment?”, asked Cruz kindly.

“Ya Cruz.Thank you for taking your time to attend this event”, Tian said.

“ Yes. I came here because I wanted to see you. I want to talk about Noa”, Cruz said straight to the point.

Tian looked at Cruz meaningfully. The atmosphere turned tense, they both knew where this conversation was headed. 

“ What happened to Noa?”, asked Tian.

“ I object because you took her away”, Cruz said staring intently at Tian.

“ But Noa doesn't mind. All decisions are his, you have no right to ban it”, Tian said as calmly as Cruz. 

Cruz laughed softly. “ Noa is a good girl, she will feel bad if she refuses your invitation. Because he thinks you're a friend”, Cruz said. “ But I know your intentions are different, so stop bothering my girlfriend ”, Cruz continued.

Tian chuckled, laughing like a mock. “ Are you afraid that Noa turns away from you and falls in my arms?”, asked Tian provokingly. “ Don't worry, it's my goal”.

Cruz smiled “ Long friendship does not guarantee you will have it. I know her better than you do, so I know who she fell in love with. So stop”, said Cruz coldly and then turned to leave Tian. 

Tian fell silent, Cruz's words were indeed true. Tian had relied too much on his friendship with the long-established Noa. Though in retrospect, perhaps Noa did not know him and only Tian knew everything about Noa. His love is clapping one hand. 

He should have gotten Noa to know him first, before saying he liked Noa. Cruz made him aware, not to back off but to start with a more definite move.  

“ Sir, do we need to break the contract with brand management?”, asked Tian's assistant.

“ No. Do not interfere with personal and work matters. This is my personal problem”, replied Tian sagely.

“ Good pak”.
