Rue walked with the father, the two of them walking together out of the house.
"Well, why is it that it's almost eight o'clock, Yuan hasn't come to pick you up?" Ask the chairman Barack.
Rue was silent, he himself had already guessed it, Yuan definitely would not come after yesterday's incident.
"Rue, are you sure there's no problem? Chairman Ray also didn't say anything to me that Yuan wouldn't come to pick you up today, or was he stuck in traffic?" Ask chairman Barack, again.
"Ah dad, you think too much. I'll be waiting for him in a minute. Dad went to the company, didn't you just say there was a morning meeting with the directors?" Rue.
"Father will leave after Yuan comes to pick you up. Do you need to call Chairman Ray to ask him?" Chairman Barack said.
"No need for dad. Didn't I just say, let me wait for him here. Dad go to the company. Don't worry about me." Persuade Rue, hoping that the father will obey his words.
Chairman Barack was seen sighing, for a moment he looked at his daughter's face, gently rubbing the princess's head with a warm fluffy smile on his face.
"Yes well, I'll go first. But, if there's anything, don't forget to call me." Chairman Barack said, staring at his daughter in doubt, hesitant to leave her.
There was little that made his heart uncomfortable, as if Yuan would not come to pick up his daughter. But if Rue had said as before, what could he do, just obey him.
"Yes dad." Answer Rue.
"good. Then I'll see you later." Chairman Barack said. After that, he walked towards a car parked in front of their house.
In the car there was a private driver who had been sitting quietly waiting for his employer to come in and gave him the order to drive it.
"You should remember, don't forget to call me if anything happens." Chairman Barack said as the car on his side began to drive slowly out of his yard.
Rue smiled,
"Yes dad!" Reply Rue in a slightly high tone so that the father can hear him.
Not long after Chairman Barack's car went away. Another car stopped in front of Rue. Then then, the windshield of the car opened, displaying the figure of a man with his expressionless face. It was not Yuan, it was Feng.
"Lake in." The man's orders, Rue's older brother Feng.
"No, you don't have to give me a ride. Go, I'll wait for Yuan here." Said Rue, it seems like the girl is indeed too stubborn, even towards herself.
Rue knew that Yuan would not come to pick him up, but somehow his heart was too hard to accept that fact.
His body was as if it had been set that he would not move from his position until Yuan arrived.
"Don't be a fool, you know he won't come. When do you want to stand there? Come quickly in, don't waste time just waiting for someone who will never come." Said Feng.
"Whatever you say, I'll still wait for Yuan." Said Rue, getting stubborn.
Feng sighed, furious at his sister's attitude, the younger brother had actually turned stupid just because of a man like Yuan,
"I've been kind enough to give you a ride, so take it well. Don't be stubborn." Said Feng.
"I said no yes no. Brother, if you want to go first, just go. I didn't ask big brother Feng to give me a ride." Said Rue while folding his hands in front of his chest.
"Rue, when do you want to be so stupid? Just because of a guy like him, where was the Rue I used to know? Why did you turn into a shameless and stupid girl? Quickly stop your actions, let's get in the car. Brother's almost too late, don't have much time just to take care of you." Said Feng.
Rue snorted, turning his attention to a peach-colored watch adhering beautifully to his right hand.
Time has shown at seven past forty-six minutes. It's just a few minutes away that his first course is about to begin.
"Come, comein. I count to five, if you don't go in either, I'm sorry you had to leave." Threat Feng.
"One."
There was no response from Rue, the girl after seeing her watch still seemed indifferent and did not move at all.
"Two."
On the second count, just like before, Rue was still silent in place, only this time the look on his face seemed a little doubtful.
"Three."
At the count of these three, Rue looks to have made her choice, but is still reluctant to move into her brother's car.
"Four. One more second you don't get in the car, I'm really gonna leave you." Said Feng who started the engine of his car.
"Five."
The final count, but Rue was still silent, not moving.
"Okey, you chose it yourself. I'm leaving." Said Feng.
"Hold on, hold on. Yes, I'm with brother." Said Rue who immediately moved quickly to block his brother's car.
Feng exhaled, patiently waiting for his sister to get into the car.

Yuan turned off his car engine after he parked it in the campus parking lot.
The man then removed his seatbelt, then turned to look at Rose who was sitting beside him. The girl appears to have removed her seatbelt herself.
Yuan snorted annoyedly at him, but he hoped there would be a romantic scene where a male partner helped his female partner take off the seatbelt. But Rose was completely insensitive.
"Why shut up? Do you want to stay in the car? Don't want to get out?" Rose asked as she moved her hand, wanting to open the car door.
"You're such a sucker, can't you just be a little romantic?" Yuan.
Rose stopped the movement of her hand that wanted to open the car door, she turned to Yuan who was looking at her in annoyance.
"Why are you? Your face looks ugly when it's angry." Said Rose who increasingly made Yuan's face bend in annoyance.
"Curtain, go there. I'm mad." Yuan said with a face that instantly switched eyes from Rose.
"Hey, don't be like a kid. Tell me what makes you angry?" Ask Rose.
"Even if I say it, will you understand? And again, will you grant it?" Yuan asked back, but his head did not want to look at Rose at all.
"I'm not sure, depending on what you ask, as long as I can grant it, I'll grant it." Answer Rose.
"Ck. Already, forget it. Let's just say I'm kidding." Yuan said.
"Yuan, what's wrong with you? Angry why? What about yesterday? Your uncle and I have absolutely nothing to do. Besides, yesterday your own uncle explained it." Rose said, the girl held Yuan's arm as her lover was about to get out of the car.
"Oh, you're talking about it again, it's only making my frustration grow." Yuan Saying.
"Eh? So you're not angry about that? Thenwhat? Can you not just tell me directly?" Said Rose.
"You're the one who can't be a little romantic with me?"
"Huh?" Rose replied with her innocent expression.
"Huh? Is that your only answer? Look, you're such a bitch." Yuan said, then he opened the car door.
"Eh wait a minute. Solve our problems." Rose said as she pulled up Yuan's arm and closed the door of the car that Yuan had opened.
"Rose— "
"Tell me, what do I do to keep you from getting angry again?" Rose asked, looking at Yuan with her innocent eyes, making the man feel hypnotized to see her, Yuan was seen closing his eyes for a moment, hoping that his negative thoughts would disappear.
"Rose— "
"I don't guarantee you'll be okay if you don't let me out of this car." Yuan deliberately interrupted the girl's words
"Eh? Whatchu mean?" Ask Rose, I don't understand.
Yuan rubbed his face rough, exhaled his heavy breath for a moment, then looked back at Rose who still just gave him an innocent look.
The problem was in Yuan's vision, Rose was looking at him with a look of puppy eyes, which was able to make Yuan feel that there was a strange turmoil in his heart.
"Even in a situation like this, you don't understand either. Let go of your hand, I'm not mad, but begging you." Yuan said.
Rose felt strange at Yuan's eagerness to avoid him, but even so, she kept Yuan's words, releasing her hand from Yuan's arm.
Then, a sigh of relief was heard from the man.
"I'll get out first, you never intend to get out before I open the car door for you. Let me teach you what romance is." Yuan said as he got out of his car.
After he exited, Yuan immediately stepped to the side of the door where Rose would exit from. With a single pull, Yuan opened the car door.
Then, his hand stretched out toward Rose, making the girl frown in confusion.
"Why keep quiet, you still don't understand, let's give me my hand." Said Yuan who was back in annoyance.
"Oh, yes, yes."
The girl immediately grabbed a helping hand from Yuan, then slowly got out of the car.
After making sure his lover came out, Yuan immediately closed the door of the car back.
"Come on." Yuan said, this time he extended his palm towards Rose.
At first, Rose frowned in confusion, but then she understood, Yuan was asking her to join hands.
With hesitation, Rose returned Yuan's palm with her palm.
A happy smile appeared on the handsome face of the man.
"Smart." Yuan Saying.

A door that became a link between the outside with a special part of the room occupied by someone was heard knocked loudly.
"Chairman Ray, please listen to me just once. I can explain it with evidence. I really don't intend to embezzle new project funds. Please give me a chance to explain. Please be wise." Said a man from out there.
Ray closed his eyes for a moment, he exhaled his coarse breath. Problems like this should be Alex who takes care of it, but why now even he is made dizzy.
"Chairman, do I need to call security to take him away?" Asked a middle-aged man who looked to be standing by Ray's side.
"No need, you just tell him to explain this matter to Alex." Said Ray.
"I think CEO Alex declined to give an explanation. That's why he came here to meet you in person." Said the man beside Ray.
"Then you call Alex, ask him to listen to his explanation before making a decision." Ray's orders.
"Good chairman."
"And tell him too. Later, this kind of trouble lest I should hear it." Said Ray with a face that turned firm.
"I understand the chairman, I'll pass it on to CEO Alex. Then I'll resign." Said the middle-aged man who was Ray's right hand.
After the man came out, Ray breathed his heavy breath, for a moment he massaged his temple. Problems like this, he used to experience it often, projects that failed because of the actions of some people who had abused power.
But now, he was a company chairman, in that case, he should only serve as a supervisor, not a problem manager. But even though it's like that, after all, it's about his company, Ray can't just sit still.
Moreover, this project has signed cooperation contracts with several important investors. Therefore, if this project fails, not only companies that lose big, but also of course the investors will demand a fairly large return on investment funds.

Nana is seen laughing while walking along with three male friends. Kai, Kin and Julian.
The girl looked indifferent as the other college girls looked at her in envy. Well, although the Yuan prima donna was not among the three men, but still the three men were popular men on campus.
"It seems you're used to it without me." Said a voice that suddenly sounded from the direction of their right side.
Yuan stepped up while holding Rose's hand approaching them.
"Is my vision in trouble? I saw Yuan holding the woman's hand, even she looked uneasy at all, instead smiling widely like that." Kin.
"You don't see wrong, what you see is true." Said Kai.
"Those are, what exactly is the relationship between the two of them?" Ask Julian.
"Everything else? You can guess." Nana who then waved her hand at Rose.
"Rose." Sapa Nana, the girl immediately rushed over to her friend.
"Nana, get away, don't ruin our romantic mood." Yuan protests when Nana becomes the middle man between herself and Rose.
"Whatchu mean? You're not happy that your girlfriend met her friend?! What kind of a bad boyfriend you are." Nana Cibir.
"Nana, yes, it doesn't need to be like that, they're making out, it's not good to bother." Kai said as he pulled Nana slowly, away from Rose and Yuan's side.
Kai knew that if the two cousins were allowed to fight, they would continue to fight without knowing how to stop. Therefore, he took precautionary measures before that all happened.
"Yuan, let's just let go of her hand, I'm embarrassed." Rose whispered to her lover.
Yuan turned his head without speaking, the man seemed to dislike the request from Rose, evident from Yuan's actions which even further tightened his grip, as if afraid that Rose would run away from him.
"No, don't want to get out." Said Yuan while looking at their hands which seemed to be glued together by permanent glue.
The attitude of the two people really envy the other people who see it. Even Nana to look hissing annoyed with the childish attitude of her cousin.
"Yuan, you here, ah my eyes are irritated to see your affection. I go first, I also have to find my girls to remove this self-righteousness. A Kin should not be envious in terms of romance." Said Kin who then left passed from before them.
"Eh Kin, where do you want to go?" Ask Julian.
"Let him go." Say Kai.
"Just kid, then I'll just stay here and be their spectator? No way, I'll go after Kin." Julian.
"Yuan, you fuck, how dare you make out in front of us." Bump Julian with a joke, then after that he went after Kin.
"I really feel bad about them. Are they mad at you?" Ask Rose.
Yuan smiled, though,
"Of course not, they're just jealous, including these two people in front of us." Yuan replied, his eyes were directed at Nana.
"Who did you say was jealous?! Not shameless." Nana.
"Oh yeah? Well, then yes, no need to be angry. Besides, if you want, you can ask Kai to hold your hand. Isn't it Kai?" Yuan said with a smile towards the two people who honestly love each other, but no one dared to reveal it.
