RA S001: First Sight
Ad Chapter
“Omong empty what are you saying this?” Inwardly, Shalome was upset at Justin's response. However, Shalome is not called if he cannot hide his feelings.
Shalome quietly freed herself from Justin's embrace. “Entah.” I don't know why that one word just came out of his lips.
“Do not worry. From the beginning I did not expect more on this business relationship,” Shalome chirped quickly. Shalome tried to look confident in front of Justin. He did not want to be disappointed more than he now felt.
No response from Justin. It's over, Shalome thought. Justin's courage is enough to be the answer.
“Go! I know there's a lot you have to take care of now.” Shalome smiled, hiding her broken heart. Shalome turned around, leaving Justin and his hopes for the man.
Justin did not prevent his departure. Awakening Shalome from the empty wishful thinking she had been building all along.
A few days have passed. Since the last fight, both Shalome and Justin were preoccupied with their respective affairs. Either way, it can be called the usual quarrel between couples. No one was shouting or forcing a will. Both of them just talk as usual, like normal people in general. No arguments, blame each other or anything else. The only thing that makes Shalome sure to call the incident a quarrel is Justin's disappearance without news.
“Nona, your dinner schedule is empty. CEO Alexander sent a message, he was unfortunate because there was a meeting suddenly.”
Shalome sighed. For a few days the two had not met. All of their dinner appointments were both canceled unilaterally by Justin. Although every cancellation must include a logical reason. But Shalome knew, it was just Justin's alibi to avoid it.
If Justin was feeling well. Then why is it Shalome who keeps thinking. After all, everything will be resolved quickly, if from the beginning Justin wants to be more open. The problem is getting more protracted because of Justin's inertia. If Justin's choice is silent, then there's nothing else Shalome can do.
“Where's Peter?” shalome asked when she found Derk——ajudan the grandfather. It's not Peter Sonny always sends to protect and keep an eye on Shalome.
“Presdir asks Peter to do something,” explains Derk politely.
Shalome spread a glance around. Looking for someone he himself doubts. What will he do when he meets.
“Derk,” call Shalome. Satisfied with the silence in the car. Shalome was used to Peter's sloppy, talkative personality. Typical people who liven up the atmosphere.
“You're not comfortable?” shalome asked without looking at Derk.
“No.”
“Lalu ...” Shalome raised his head. Distracting his attention from his tab. “Why from now on, do you keep looking outwards?”
“We don't know, when and how they came,” Derk said.
“Do you always like this when you are with the President?”
“True,” quick reply Derk.
Shalome let out a long breath. “Rilex, 'lah!”
“Sorry, Miss. I can't do it.” Derk is watching everything closely. Vehicles driving next to the car they are riding. Nor did it escape his surveillance.
“Making sure your security is the priority of my task,” bright Derk rigid, still in standby mode.
Shalome to the house, coinciding with dinner time. “Do you guys feel better?” sonny asked calmly.
Shalome furrowed his brows. “We don't fight.”
“Then why some days Justin did not come to dinner?”
“He's busy. It's best Grandpa doesn't mess with him.”
“Not, 'is that sentence more right for you,” ledek Sonny.
“Already! You are this ...” Lerai Margaret.
After dinner, Shalome went straight into his room. Checking his phone, who knows Justin called him. But, let alone the phone, Justin did not even send a message.
Feeling bored and no activity, Shalome idly opened a gossip and news page. Shalome's attention was immediately focused on an article titled 'Ideaman Woman CEO Alexander'. The more it scrolls down, the more flat and cold Shalome's expression becomes. Especially when recognizing the man in the photo contained in the article.
“Romantic Dating With Former Fiance Initiated G,” read Shalome slowly.
Justin's absence reinforces opinion .... Good fact that Justin still has the possibility of having a taste with a woman named Giselle.
Tuk .. tuk ....
The sound of Shalome's index finger tapping into one-on-one broke the silence in his study.
“Why are your expressions so serious?” seloroh Shalome on Monica and Derk.
Seeing Monica looking at him anxiously, Shalome's nosy side woke up. “Monica.” Shalome stared at the ignorant Monica.
“Ya, Miss.” Monica swallowed her saliva. I knew something was wrong with whatever Shalome was thinking.
Shalome propped up her chin, making Monica even more nervous. Monica didn't know, her attitude was now
making Shalome even more excited bother him. “What's my schedule today?”
“Nothing, 'kan.” Shalome got up from his seat of greatness. “There are places I want to visit.” Monica kissed a suspicious person.
“If you can know .... Miss where are you going?”
Shalome smiled widely, instantly Monica's premonition was unpleasant. “Making trouble?” origin answers.
“Nona, Miss, wait!” stop Monica, but Shalome is Shalome. Once you decide, no one can change it.
“You ...” Derk glanced at Shalome through the windshield. “Nothing is that what you want to say?”
“No,” replied Derk firmly. For the first time, Shalome is grateful that Derk was the one who escorted her. If Peter had been escorting her, her ears would have been deaf. So chatty his bodyguard that one. In the absence of Peter, Shalome could breathe a sigh of relief. Avoid the various questions that Peter might ask.
“If I may think ...” Derk continued his remarks, having been given Shalome's permission. “Wise, 'Is Miss' choice now?”
“True. What do you want to do there?” Monica, who had bent her face, still disagreed with Shalome's decision.
“More with danger———”
“Here, 'there will be Derk and you.” Shalome. “Don't tell me if there's danger later, you'll run for yourselves, leaving me!?”
Derk and Monica are silent. Shalome knows the meaning of Derk's silence. No matter what the circumstances may be, Derk will risk his life for Shalome's safety. Contrary to Monica. The woman did not want to be put in danger. At the same time he could not ignore Shalome's words. In short, Monica was forced to follow Shalome.
“Toh, whatever I will do later ... will not harm you either.” Shalome looked at Monica. “So Don't worry. I'll take full responsibility.”
“Actually, you guys should thank me!” Shalome glanced at Derk for a moment. As expected. Derk was calm and most importantly, did not ask much.
Shalome turned her gaze to Monica. “I invite you to watch exciting things. The only one in the world. There is no second. I guarantee you'll like it.”
Monica silently observed Shalome's facial water changes. Shalome's witty expression and ignorant gaze had changed. His sharp and cold gaze, his trademark flat expression had already returned.
Shalome started to put on a serious expression. Despite not wanting it, his mind again flew into memories that to him were a nuisance. While staring out the car window, Shalome thought. She believes her ex-fiance, initialed G, was mentioned in an article she read last night as Giselle. The man Justin asked him to stay away from. If the deduction is correct. It's not a coincidence the messages about Justin. Shalome's accidental encounter with Giselle.
He would believe it, if it only happened once or twice. Then, Justin's attitude changed along with the emergence of many articles that offended the relationship in the past. With that much evidence, it's impossible if there's nothing between Justin and Giselle. Not Shalome kegeeran, of all his deductions. Shalome concluded, his main purpose is him.
