"But have you ever fought and kept each other quiet?"

"I remember not. Ciro was a very patient and considerate person, so he was rarely angry with me."

"really?"

"Yes. But sometimes she likes to nag me like a mother nagging her child. Sometimes when he nags me like that I'm always upset, but not to the point of making us grow up with each other. Because I know Ciro nagging me like that is a sign that he cares about me a lot."

"A-ah so yes," Analia responded. After listening to Lucio's words made him feel a little guilty, especially when remembering his attitude towards Elvera.

"I feel lucky to have a manager like Ciro. If she goes missing or leaves, then I'm a person who will be very sad and feel lost. Because without him, I would never again be able to feel more affection and attention than my parents once did," lucio's facial features suddenly changed and along with that, Analia felt a different atmosphere emanating from her.

"uh? But why are you talking like that?" Analia looked at him with a confused face. Lucio turned to look at him.

"Because to me, Ciro is not just a manager, but he is also my personal assistant, my assistant, my driver, my chef, my best friend, and my parents too."

"I don't understand, why do you think of it that way?"

"That's because, ever since I lost the affection of my parents, he's the only one who cares and loves me. Even the sense of regret exceeded both of my own parents."

"really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Sorry before, but if I may ask. What happened to your parents?"

"Oh, my parents are divorced. And from then on, my mother decided to return to Barcelona, Spain where she came from and live there. Meanwhile, papa chose to focus more on his business that continues to grow. Therefore, after my parents divorced, I often tried to do it myself and do everything without the help of my parents, until then I was reunited with Ciro. He helped me a lot through the hard times I had."

"Ah so apparently. Sorry to make you have to recall old memories because of my question, by the way," Analia lowered her head, she felt bad about asking Lucio that. But by listening to Lucio's story, at least make Analia one step closer to Lucio.

"It's okay, after all, it's just an ordinary story that I think everyone should know."

"Listening to your story just now makes me feel jealous of you and your manager who can always get along with each other."

"Dear? Why do you have to fill me and Ciro?" Lucio raised his brow next to a puzzled one.

"Are you guys like that a lot?"

"Yes, it's common for that to happen. Especially for girls, we can sometimes hate each other but sometimes also love each other. Sometimes quick to anger and sometimes quick to forgive."

"Ah so yes," Lucio responded.

"Yes, that's more or less so" said Analia. After the final sentence was thrown from his lips, silence immediately enveloped their togetherness. Not a single word was thrown from their lips until the two of them arrived at the end of the hallway near the elevator. There they could both see Ciro and Elvera standing in front of the elevator door, standing up from earlier to the point that they were sore from standing.

"Oddio, you've finally arrived! You know how long we've been waiting?" Ciro said as soon as they got there.

(Oddio/astaga— in Italian)

"Haha, sorry. We keep chatting until we don't realize we're walking at a slow pace" Lucio said with a smile.

"Ah, it's okay. At least you do not feel awkward and this is quite useful later for the film you star in. By chatting small like this, it makes you closer and makes it easier for you to build chemistry between you."

"Yes, you have a point too. And it seems we do have to talk more together to build his chemistry," Analia replied then turned to look at Lucio who is now in his company. While others are busy chatting, different with Elvera. He just kept quiet and listened, Elvera did not want to make the mood of Analia turn chaotic when she commented. And he didn't want to make their situation any more messy.

"Well then what if we leave now? The other artists have gone first since then, only we have come last."

"uh? Really true?"

"Yes. So let's go. Don't make Mr. Ilario and the other artists wait. Do not challenge you the main character in this film," said Ciro who ended with a sarcastic sentence. Analia and Lucio just chuckled in response to a speech from Ciro until then the sound of ‘ting’ instantly made their focus shifted. Along with that the elevator door there opened, revealing several people inside there who then stepped out and left the elevator empty.

The next moment they got into the elevator. Arriving inside, Ciro immediately pressed the button with the numbers that symbolized the floor there. After pressing the button, the elevator door began to close again, and it began to climb towards the place where they would meet Ilario and the others.

Inside the elevator, Analia and Lucio chatted a lot of things, getting them closer to each other. While Analia continues to chat with Lucio, Elvera who was originally silent is now starting to chat with Ciro who is trying to make the situation more melted.

Not long after they waited, the elevator door opened again revealing the state of the floor where they would meet for dinner with Ilario and other artists.

"Come on. This way," Ciro instructed, he then walked in front leading Lucio and Analia towards the direction where they would have dinner together.

They continued to wander through the corridor until they arrived at a door guarded by several men in the front. Then they come in.
