"You look very harmonious" guests told Athan and Sophie
"Thank you" Sophie said gracefully while Athan only smiled faintly.
Currently they are having a birthday event for one of their team of doctors whose birthday is in a famous hotel.
Inevitably Athan had to come there by bringing Sophie along as well because it was required to come bring a partner and also because of Sania's man.
Sophie also invites her so excited at that time, and Athan is only close to Sophie in the hospital area so she is finally with Sophie.
Athan and Sophie approach Mike who is talking to the other guests.
"Wow Athan you finally came I was waiting for you from earlier" said Mike
"Happy birthday bro" said Athan and gave a gift.
"Thank you my bro," Mike replies happy that he was actually waiting for Athan to receive a gift from the man. Athan if giving a gift is never messing around especially if it is to his close friends.
As they were talking, there was a whisper. Someone coming from there made the person there fascinated especially Athan He did not even take his eyes off the figure.
He growled when he saw behind the girl there was a man and now the man clasped his hands.They wore clothes that were the same as a happy couple until it felt like the blood in Athan's body was boiling.
"This is the one we're waiting for, our special guest," Mike approached Joice and Cole.
"Happy birthday Mike " exclaimed Joice and Cole together.
"Eyy even you guys simultaneously say it, look at a lot of jealous people see you," said Mike.
"Just a coincidence," Joice smiled back while Cole greeted her with a hard-to-understand look.
Athan's eyes looked at Joice and Cole. He was feeling cold hot right now let alone seeing Cole look at Joice. Athan obviously knew that gaze was a loving gaze because Athan was also a man and felt the same way.
"Alright please enjoy the dish, and well later you have to join the dance, I want to welcome the guests who attended first" said Mike and turned to other guests.
Of course Cole was happy to hear that he was finally able to get closer to Joice let alone dance with his heart.
"Well, there's a dance, Doctor Athan, you want to dance with me, right" Sophie asked.
Athan did not answer he just cleared his throat without glancing at Sophie in the slightest. Sophie smiled lethargic but it was okay that it mattered that she could dance with the man.
Joice occasionally glanced at the dashing looking Athan wearing a suit that fit on his body until their eyes met.
Joice who was caught off guard when she saw Athan's gaze quickly turned her face the other way.
Athan smiled faintly at it until the party began and continued with the dance.
At first Athan did not like it but when it was said there would be a change of partner when the music changed Athan launched some plans in his scheming brain.
He's been looking for Joice's whereabouts and he's got her being with his manager. Athan plans to change partners with Joice later he smiles inwardly thinking he will dance with Joice.
With Athan finally dancing with Sophie, she could only lead occasional musical turns looking at Joice and Cole with a growling look.
Joice should only dance with her, Athan really doesn't like being in this situation.
In contrast to Athan's gloomy mood Sophie looks very happy to see closer Athan Unceasingly he admired the good looks of his dream doctor.
"Stop looking at me like that" said Athan.
Athan is silent and doesn't answer that he can't argue at other people's parties so he just lets Sophie's treatment start to bother him.
Athan smiled faintly when he heard the sound of the music change looks disappointed Sophie but she did not care and immediately left Sophie and with one jolt she managed to bring Joice to him.
Joice who was not ready almost fell fortunately Athan who immediately caught Joice and pulled Joice's waist to get closer to him.
Athan didn't miss the chance to see Joice. He looked at her with Joice's eyes while continuing to dance to the accompaniment of music. Joice is also seen enjoying him following Athan's footsteps and draping his hands around Athan's neck.
"You're so pretty tonight" whispered Athan right in Joice's ear.
Joice who heard him just smiled thinly he should not be lulled he did not want to be a destroyer of other people's relationships. Joice hopes the music stops quickly he doesn't want to linger with Athan .
Joice avoided eye contact with Athan. He stared down at their important footsteps not to coincide with Athan's eyes
Athan who saw that obviously did not like it. He wants Joice to just look at him. Athan stopped his footwork and caught Joice's face staring at him.
"Don't dodge me" sizzled Athan.
Joice moved away and shook Athan's hand slowly. There were a lot of people looking towards the two of them.
"Wow, you guys seem to enjoy the dance so much that you don't realize that the music has stopped since," Kekeh Mike.
"Looks like you're gonna have to do a dance next year Mike, it's really fun" Mike's friend chuckled.
Joice looked down and passed away saying she wanted to go home now, she should as much as possible avoid seeing Athan again.
Joice searches for Cole but is not found by him. Joice contacted Cole and it turned out that the man was already in the car.
Joice soon meets Cole and it's true that the man is sleeping in the car.
"Cole," call Joice wiggle the man's shoulder. Cole opened his eyes and looked at Joice in front of him.
"Have you?"cole asked in an uncharacteristic tone even the man had no intention of looking at him and turned his face to the window instead.
"I'm very tired and want to rest soon" said Joice.
"Heum" Cole if driving without many words and turn on the music to fill the silence between them.
Joice understood that Cole would usually chatter or tell him whatever it was, not usually Cole like this, Joice thought.
"Do I have a schedule for Cole tomorrow?" joice asked, starting the conversation.
"No," Cole said briefly and continued to focus on driving.
"What's wrong with you, you're so weird" Joice said.
"What do you care? And can you shut up I can't focus on driving you noisily" Cole replied in a fierce tone.
Joice was stunned to feel like Dejavu because he had or even often said that to Cole. Tell him to shut up because he doesn't want to be disturbed .
This is how it feels ignored Joice feels a little claustrophobic but he did it because he did not want to give hope to Cole. Actually, Joice knows full well that Cole likes him. Joice could see that from Cole's different gaze and treatment of him.
It's just that Joice doesn't want to hurt Cole because Joice doesn't have feelings for Cole.
