Not Glass Cans

27. Kiss in the Cheek

A loud ringing in Anthony Lung's phone broke my stiffness. I looked back straight ahead. Lung's face looked slightly flushed withstanding the tension.

"Elsi...You're just in charge of balancing me. You guys too.ok..!" Finished saying, Lung picked up the video call on her phone.

Back to Anthony's language of unity I heard. I don't understand it at all. So I just looked at Anthony Lung. Given that I was paid quite dearly, I had to be on standby with a slightly thumping heart.

Anthony Lung spoke in a tense manner, as if they were discussing, negotiating or even fighting. There was no smile on Anthony's face.

Suddenly the phone was pointed towards me by Lung. A middle-aged woman looks big on her screen, maybe this is her mother. I nodded my head, as I gave the sweetest smile and joined my wave. The woman just kept looking at me, while occasionally talking to Lung.

Back there was a middle-aged man as well, probably Lung's father. Lung's father smiled slightly, I kept smiling nonstop. In addition to Anthony's parents, there also appears to be one woman and one adult man, possibly Anthony Lung's brother.

Anthony shined me very close for a while, then shifted the spotlight on Irgi and Mika Riana, Irgi's boyfriend's name. They just nodded politely, waving hands that finally smiled fervently, I felt the same as me, not knowing Lung's language.

The spotlight shifted back to me, only briefly, but enough to give a smile. This time, Garrick is the one. My master was so fluent and familiar talking to Anthony Lung's parents. Garrick smiled occasionally and seemed to nod small. Maybe in support of Anthony Lung's play.

Lung turned to highlight Dora, the woman next to me could also speak Lung. Speak stale for a while, nodding and smiling faintly. Because the response was not too warm, Lung shone her phone back to me. I put my face in my way, with Anthony Lunglah in me. Looks like Lung's mission will work, Lung's mother smiles at me occasionally.

Suddenly Anthony Lung stood up, walked around the table, and stopped behind my chair. Put the phone back in my face. I think Anthony Lung put his head close to me very close. It felt like Anthony's scent was occasionally blowing into my nose. Try to understand, maybe this is to be more convincing.

Anthony Lung kept on shining our faces. And I think his face was too close to my head, until the smell of his talking mouth was smelled by my nose. It felt like it had turned very uncomfortable, hoping to end this call soon and my code was done. But Anthony Lung still speaks occasionally.

I have not wholeheartedly followed this charade. Maybe I came back stiff as a doll without a heart. I think this is not just a dinner like what Garrick guaranteed at the time. Didn't Garrick guarantee it?

The cup!

My heart stopped beating. Anthony has dared to kiss my cheek. My eyes turned to Garrick. My master stared at us visibly riled up. He looked hard at Lung. But I can't wait anymore.

I gave another sweet smile to his mother Lung and his father.

"Bang Lung, let me go to the toilet for a while, eat kale, my stomach is heartburn." Although very disappointed and betrayed, I still gather my professional attitude in front of Lung and her parents. Although after this I don't want to see Lung back.

"Go Elsi, will you interracial?" Lung's voice sounded friendly and pampered me. The more uncomfortable I feel. But for a role I promised.

"No, bang. I'm alone!" I obviously rejected his offer. Smile last time and nod at his mother Lung.

I don't write anymore on the phone. I walked past Anthony Lung who pulled over from my chair. Quickly step towards the toilet I chose outside the Garju restaurant.

A quiet toilet makes me freely wash my face in one of the sinks as much. I want to remove the trace of Anthony's kiss on my cheek clean with no rest and no taste. My back and neck have been sore, neither have I got any relief in my heart. The taste of Anthony Lung's lips and nose that stick to the cheeks, still stuck and clog the arteries. If you can say, it feels disgusted.

"The girl has no pride..!" Dora said back in my ear. Really tested my patience.

"You feel so holy?! I see where you've been cleaning! I'm not sure, a woman like you doesn't keep a carcass on your back!" I repaid her insult by saying rudely to Dora. I can't stand the words of Dora that insult me anymore.

"Naive little girl..!!" Dora pointed at me, I really don't know, what's wrong with me, why does Dora hate me so much?

"Let me be a naive little girl to you! Obviously, if I were your age, I wouldn't be single! I'd rather get married!" I threw checkmate for him. Dora's face hardened, her eyes gleaming like daggers looking at me.

I left Dora in her angry lures. I don't want to fuss any longer and be more painful. I don't understand why women who seem educated can behave like that.

My feet don't walk into Garju resto. But get out to the elevator room, and take me to deck four. I want to exchange Cheongsam in my body with the dress Sari chose left in the salon earlier.

"Why do you want to be exchanged? This is your shirt, but it doesn't need to be changed. You're so pretty with this Cheongsam." One of the salon girls who welcomed me was very friendly.

"Thank you, but uncomfortable in the body. Look, half my thighs are visible!" I pointed at my thighs, because they were nothing but transparent cloths just upholstery.

"Alright.but why does your face look messy, you wash it? You sad? You should have had fun, Mr. Lung has never seen a girl before. You're the first!" Ah.girl! I don't want to know anything about Anthony Lung!

"So does Mr. Garrick, he always seems to be alone. It's only lately that it's been getting sticky with the Graceful. Ah.you're her sister.you sure understand better.." This salon girl is so excited. Of course I'm blind about Garrick.. I'm just a new lackey!

"I don't know about Garrick either. What, how Graceful is that brother?" I'm interested in wanting to know about Anggun.

"Don't call me sister.I feel old.my name is Cintia." I nodded in agreement.The salon girl was very humble to me.

"The figure is the daughter of the mayor in Batam. But also teamed up with Garrick's late father in his business. Just two months ago, Grace is back. He previously lived in Switzerland. But denger-denger.judua.gossip hot. Me and my friends, another mass heartbreak right now." Cintia, the salon's maiden name, put up a sad style mimic, but her mouth was whiny.

"Ngapain lives in Switzerland, Cin? She work?" I told you once about Dora.

"Er ha es yes. There's his girlfriend there." Cintia said softly to me.

"Well.the real Cin.. Keep going, they disperse?" My head is getting multiplied.

"Still in the sights..Ntar I'm calling.. " Cintia blinked her eyes, she's really royal info, I love it.

I have finished exchanging Cheongsam clothes with my dress shirt. It feels so comfortable. While the Cheongsam I just released and Cintia said it had been paid by Anthony, I gave the salon girl as a memory. Cintia seemed so happy. I was more than happy to see Cintia's reaction.

Even though it's just a second-hand shirt and I don't want to keep it, I intend alms. Almsgiving is the path to success, with God's only permission of course!
