Not a MISTRESS
Opening a new sheet
Regrets always come too late, when they come, they are not the same as they used to be. It is very difficult to restore the trust that has been lost.
Currently, Elora has started working in a company engaged in printing. Elora is there as a magazine editor.
”Company P Group”
While busy working, suddenly Luke comes to visit as an important person in the company where Elora works.
”Wah! It's Mr. Luke, the young director of a downtown publishing company.” whispers employees who are amazed by Luke's good looks.
”Eh uh, but there are rumors Mr. Luke has been hit several times with someone!”
”Ah, as long as the yellow janur is not there yet, what is the harm in trying!” Said those flirty employees.
Elora just smiled to herself hearing all the conversations of those employees.
”Elora, not that you are also a book author, and your book is published a lot under the auspices of the company that Mr. Luke runs, right?” ask one of the employees who looks very curious.
”Ah, yes. I'm just a small writer kok,” reply Elora friendly.
”But your book is a best seller! Moreover, the title, ”I Am Not a Savings Lover” vow deh, I just read the description, already slashed.” Wondered.
”Thank you yes, have read my little work.”
”Oh it, by the way, you definitely know dong who is lord Luke?” they began to approach Elora's face with great curiosity.
”Yeah, just know at a glance.” Elora's words are brief. Do not want, if too much talk will only make new rumors again.

At lunch time, Elora as usual brought her food supplies, counting down to frugality. Moreover, the cost of the apartment is not cheap, even though Elora chose a simple apartment for her.
”Good afternoon,” greet someone who made Elora's lunch stop for a moment.
”Mr Luke?” elora said, and looked nervous, afraid that there would be gossip about her in her new office.
”Miss Elora's diet is very healthy!” Praise Luke, then Luke's eyes seemed sparkling, when he saw Elora always wearing the watch he gave her. For bracelets and necklaces Elora only wear in certain moments, maybe so as not to blister.
”Ah, thank you Mr. Luke. I always carry it every day.” Elora.
”That hand clock fits Miss very well. Oh yes, this afternoon I picked you home.”
”Hah, where do you want to go sir?” Elora who did not expect to be picked up this afternoon by a man who loved many women.
”Just want to take Miss Elora around. Does miss mind?”
”Ah, certainly not. It's just, I'm not good if later the employees make new rumors. What's more, I'm just a new employee here.” Elora. Not to refuse, but just want to keep things.
”What's the problem with others? Didn't miss also not have a partner, nor did I. So, why be afraid? No problem.” Luke prontal. Elora was astonished, hearing the affirmation from Luke about the couple.
”Good sir, where will master pick me up?”
”In the main loby, maybe a few minutes after miss home from work, I've come.” Luke got up from his seat, and left a warm smile on Elora.
Elora painstakingly swallowed the food in her mouth, it felt like Elora was already full today. Luckily, when Luke approached him, the employees were in the office cafeteria. It is very rare for them to bring home supplies.

Back to work with a bad feeling. Between pleasure, and other flavors.
Drtts... One message came in...
”Good master Luke, see you later this afternoon, bye!”😊
Elora smiled as she exchanged messages with Luke, her sense of sadness blooming.
Has Elora begun to put a taste in Luke, or is this just a sense of comfort? Given, Elora who had been cruelly disappointed, then it made it harder for Elora to trust the men.
Hopefully, Luke is not the loser guy Elora has known.

Evening arrived...
As promised Luke came on time and until now Luke is a man who is very disciplined about promises and time.
Because many employees have gone home, so when Luke picked up Elora, no one paid much attention to Elora with Luke. Plus, the building does not only have one company. Such are the buildings in the capital, in one tall building towering, of course there are many kinds of companies there.
People who scatter out, certainly will not care too much about one another. This is beneficial for Elora, considering that Elora is still not ready if her colleagues know about her closeness to Luke.
”Want to eat first?” luke asked, as the two were just about to leave the area of the towering tall building.
”I depend on Mr. Luke only, if you feel hungry, then we can eat first.” Elora.
”Alright, it has been decided, we will eat first, while enjoying the hustle and bustle of the crowd.” Luke.
Luke then takes Elora to a mall downtown, where they eat together, talking about other things.
* * *
CP X Mall.
In a mall that is classified as luxury, Luke invites Elora to eat together.
”This woman is very interesting. Besides being smart, talented, she is also a hardworking woman.” Inner Luke.
”Nona Elora, does it matter if alu keep inviting the lady away like this?” ask Luke suddenly.
”Meanour name? Sorry, I don't understand.” Reply Elora with a surprised smile.
”I mean, about this togetherness, do you feel comfortable every time we go together?”
”So far, I don't mind, even I'm very grateful, because Mr. Luke has helped me so much.” Said Elora who tried to keep her word awake.
”OK. Then, what if in the end there was an intention in my heart to further recognize who Miss Elora was? Will the lady still not mind?”
”Ah, this man is very frontal, I am up to trouble answering his every question.” Inner Elora.
Elora was speechless, and confused as to what else to say.
”Miss Elora, I do not like to play around with someone's feelings, moreover, if someone who has been with me always happily accepts my existence. Honestly, I'm starting to like Miss Elora.” Luke stared deeply at Elora.
Elora almost choked on it, well this feels surprising to Elora.
”Nona Elora, send lady to welcome my feelings, who does not consciously like being a partner. But, I want to have a serious relationship with Miss Elora. Sudikah?” ask Luke seriously.
”Mr Luke, aa-I.”
