...ADRIAN...
Weekends are over. Today it's time for me to take Nadine to the office where she works to take care of her resignation letter. After going through a long debate he was finally willing to resign even though I knew deep down he still felt objection. It was not easy to persuade a stubborn woman like her.
I've been waiting for Nadine for 1 hour in the car park but she's not out. Why is he inside? Waiting for him is so boring.
Before long, the one I was waiting for finally appeared as well. God understands this impatient me so much that his business can be finished quickly. From a distance I could see Nadine carrying a large cardboard box while carrying her laptop bag. When he got closer, he tapped on my windshield.
"May I put it in the trunk?" tanyanya polo's.
Not wanting to linger, I just nodded and let her put all those items directly in the trunk. Since the trunk of my car is already open, just pull it.
"Have you been clear about it?" I asked Nadine when she came in and sat sweetly in front of the passenger seat next to me.
"Yes, I didn't think the process could be this fast. All I know, this company where I work applies a one month notice system. Which if there are employees who want to resign, must confirm H-1 months before effectively disabled from work."
This woman is plain. He did not know that I was involved in the smooth process of his resignation.
How not fast..Nadine herself works at a company owned by my high school friend and business partner as well. So there is only one call, everything can be sorted if you go through the inside line.
"Your lucky day may be. Your boss seems to understand that you need to get out of town quickly."
"Maybe.." she smiled faintly at me.
A smile I've never seen since I met him a few days ago. It was only natural, after all, how could he possibly smile under these circumstances. Even at night, I could hear her crying in silence.
"Is all your business done or is there something else to take care of?" ask again.
"That's all! About my resignation letter from the company is in order. The property I have is also clear. Because my car was damaged, and my brother's car did not exist.so stay home and savings are left. For the house, I don't want to sell it. Just leave it temporarily empty even if the police investigation is over."
"So Ray also went to the police station again to follow up on your father's case. Currently Romy has been detained by the police, while Kelvin can escape. From there Romy will be interrogated about anyone involved in your father's shooting. That way it'll be easier to snuggle the culprit."
Nadine looked at me with a pus. The sadness was still clearly visible on his face. "We go straight to the airport, in a few hours we will fly. I have to check in first."
"How's Ray? Is he coming to the airport?"
"Ray won't come with us. He'll still stay here first to take care of Romy's sentencing hearing. There are one and another things to take care of."
"Oh so.yeah already, nothing. We can go straight to the airport. My suitcase and you're ready in the back."
Same with Nadine at the beginning, I myself feel uncomfortable having to go alone with her without Ray. The reason is simple, because we are both strangers and do not know each other. But because I had to, like not to like.
I still need his services to help find the whereabouts of Aaron's flash. Because it could be, when the search process needed a code or password related to Aaron's personal information. As his daughter, of course Nadine knows very well about private matters about Aaron.

Nadine and I are at the airport now. We also finished checking our plane tickets. Just waiting for the departure time.
I took out a mask from behind my jacket and gave it to Nadine. "Wear this mask."
"Why?" Nadine was a little confused.
"A lot of people are after us right now. With masks, our faces can be covered and no one knows we're at the airport. It could be bad if they knew, they'd track us where we were going"I reasoned and he believed it.
But the truth is, I just don't want anyone to know I'm caught going alone with a girl. I'm done if any of the reporters see it. There will definitely be gossip material or news grapevine that will appear in the media even though my face is almost never exposed.
Because the reporters actually know how I look, they just can't publish my photos because my team will take down their posts. Usually the news raised in the form of writing and articles about my life. Not to mention the Papa spies who like to interfere. Both my parents would have been excited if I knew I was bringing women back to Bali.
This was my first time boarding an economy class plane. Usually if I want to go anywhere I always use my private jet. Except when the jet was maintenance and in repair, several times I often boarded commercial aircraft. But even then I message the first class ticket is not an economy class.
In less than half an hour, Nadine and I will fly to Bali. This is what I do not like when I get on a commercial plane, I have to wait a long time while I am an impatient person. Waiting 30 minutes is like 3 days.
Traveling on a private jet is more convenient because I can set the departure time as per my request. No need for moss to wait. If only I were not disguised as an ordinary person, I would have used my privilege.
Glancing to my left side, I found Nadine holding her family picture frame. In the photo, he, his father, and his brother were photographed in a family park with a wide smiling pose.
One thing I just realized, in the photo held by Nadine..Her mother is not seen. There are only 3 people. I never heard Nadine talk about her mother either. But let it be, maybe he's going through the same thing as me, has a bad history with a mother figure.
Nadine seemed to miss her father and sister, until many times I noticed. Even though before taking care of the letter to his office earlier, I had escorted him again to his father's funeral.
She bought 3 large bouquets of White Lily Flowers from the florist yesterday to put on her father's headstone. But it turned out that it was not enough to wipe out the turmoil in his heart.
Different me. I never miss my family. Beautiful memories don't have either. Even when there was a photo show with the family, I never took part. I prefer to be alone and take care of work.
My past with my birth mother and stepfather traumatized me to have an attachment to someone, let alone family. I've been hurt too many times and lost, it's better not to expect much....
