THE DOCTOR'S LOVE TRAP

97. Wanna talk

Anne woke up in the morning with a heavy head. Realizing that she was in a hotel room, Anne immediately checked on her. He was very grateful because his condition was not lacking anything.

His clothes were full he was wearing. Only, why would he be in this room?

Is this Mr. Alison's? If so, why does Anne feel okay. If he had indeed ended up being one of the victims of that bloated man, surely his condition would not be as good as it is now.

Tired of second-guessing, Anne decided to wash her face in the bathroom sink. After cleaning up enough. Anne soon passed from the room.

As she passed the reception desk, Anne thought of asking there.

"Hmm, can I tell you who booked my room for me last night? Um... I mean, whose name is that room?" Anne scratched her arm awkwardly at her own question.

The receptionist looked at him with a small smile. "What room number do you have, miss?" tanyakanya.

"1428"

"The room was booked only once. Check in last night, on behalf of Mr. Rodriguez."

"What?" nagging Anne between believe and not.

"Is something wrong, Miss? Can we help you?"

Anne put on a grin. Be aware if the reaction is too excessive. "Emm.. It's okay, sorry," he said.

Anne immediately moved out of the hotel area.

His current thought is why could his hotel room be booked on behalf of Mr Rodriguez?

Quite a large population of people have the name, but only one acquaintance of Anne has the same last name. Raymond. But, is it possible? Why could?

Abrine had to go back to his office today. El has also started to live his activities as usual because the man insists that he has completely recovered and wants to work again.

Unfortunately, when Abrine arrives at his office he doesn't see Anne anywhere.

"Is Anne not in the office today?" mummified Abrine.

Shortly thereafter, Abrine receives a call from the secretary. Apparently Anne's permission to come in late.

Abrine understood, even so he was quite astonished because this was unusual for Anne to do.

By 10 a.m., Anne came to the office. He doesn't look like he used to. His face looks tired. Like carrying a heavy load.

"Anne, are you okay?" Abrine looked at Anne in astonishment. "Is there a problem?" tanyanya.

"I'm sorry, for coming late, Miss."

"Not because of that. I impeached. You've never been like this before either. What's the matter, Anne?"

Anne shook her head but her eyes could not cover that something had happened.

"Anne, if there's a problem you don't have to force yourself to come to work." Abrine tried understanding. He couldn't have forced Anne to tell him about personal matters.

"Ehm.no, Miss. I'm just tired."

"Get on leave. You never took your annual leave. You work so hard, Anne."

"Hemm, I'll think about it, Miss. Thank you." - Thank you."

Abrine nodded with a dissatisfied expression. She hoped Anne would think about her advice for a vacation.

"Ehm, Miss, may I ask you something but this is a personal matter, not a job at all."

"May, just ask."

"Regarding.. about..." Anne hesitated to continue her sentence.

"Well what? Just ask."

"Master Rodriguez.." - Anne.

"Raymond?" The face of Abrine Semringah. It wasn't because she had to talk about Raymond that excited her but she thought something had happened between Anne and her best friend.

"Yes, Miss.."

"You want to ask about her? About what?"

"Is he a breng sek man?" ask Anne to the point-making Abrine flabbergasted. Seeing Abrine's expression, Anne hurriedly corrected her sentence. "Ehm. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"What's wrong, you want to know about that, right?"

"What I know is that Raymond used to love to have fun. Yeah that kind of thing, you know what I mean, right?"

Hearing that Anne's face changed pias. Did something happen to her and Raymond last night in the hotel room? Oh, my gosh, if he is, but he feels nothing strange about his body.

"Why Anne? Are you guys getting close and want to have a serious relationship?"

Abrine's question made all of Anne's thoughts fall away. He immediately shook his hand in front of the boss.

"Of course not, Miss."

"But I think Raymond has changed. He's basically a good guy." Abrine patted Anne's shoulder gently.

Anne was silent with a mind that had wandered somewhere. Because, before he went to the office, exactly after he came home from the hotel and headed to his residence to change clothes, his return was greeted by the anger of his brother, Jerry.

In fact, Anne's initial intention was that she wanted to curse her sister because she ended up in a hotel room. In fact, it was he who was reviled all out. That's why he came to the office late and that's also what makes him not excited today.

Jerry also mentioned Mr. Rodriguez's name, making Anne even worse off than Raymond.

"What do you have to do with Mr. Rodriguez, huh? He might come to pick you up when Mr. Alison's working together!"

That's what Jerry said to Anne a few hours ago. Of course it made Anne even more confused - what situation had happened exactly? If he hadn't been drunk last night, he would have known what he was going through.

Towards lunch, Abrine accidentally crosses paths with a man who is none other than Raymond.

"What are you doing here, Ray?" ask Abrine because again the man came to his office.

"Huh, I can finally meet you too. How are you, Brine? I heard some news about what happened to your husband."

"I'm good, El has recovered. But...." Abrine looked at Raymond with a probing look. "Are you sure you're just here to ask me how I'm doing?" tanyanya intends to quip.

"Huh? Whatchu mean? Of course I want to ask you how you are doing. I even looked for you a few days ago. Come on, Brine. I don't know where you live now."

Raymond seemed relaxed and not nervous about answering Abrine's questions, but she hoped Raymond would discuss a little about his relationship with Anne. But, for Raymond, there was nothing interesting in Abrine's office other than the woman herself.

"No, I think you want to tell me about. um, your relationship with Anne."

"What's? A connection? With Anne? Gee whiz.... Brine."

Raymond even chuckled casually as if he thought Abrine was throwing a very silly joke.

"Listen, I'm not in a relationship with anyone else, let alone with your secretary. I'll make sure it doesn't happen."

"Huh, I'm sure you're this." Abrine sneer.

"Yes, yes, I have let you go, but I can't forget you, Brine. Eitss .. but, I'm saying this is not hoping that you will return my feelings. I'm just telling the truth. Even if you want to repay it, it's okay!" raymond had a laugh at the end of his sentence.

"You're! Still is." Abrine slammed Raymond's arm with a paper file he was holding.

Their conversation in front of the receptionist had to be overheard by Anne. He learns that Raymond still harbors a taste for Abrine, his superior.

Does Anne have to care about that? No, it's none of his business.

But, why does his feeling get bothered about this. If it was true that last night there was something going on between him and Raymond, should he ask her directly? But he and Raymond aren't that close, are they? How did he get that guy to talk to me in one eye to talk about last night?

"Easy? You've seen me who's fine." Abrine asked Raymond. At the same time Anne passed from where she had stood before.

"Yes, you look healthy. Seeing you like this I'm satisfied enough." Raymond chuckles. He accidentally caught the silhouette of the body of someone who had just entered the elevator. No doubt, it was Anne.

For some reason since helping Anne last night, Raymond came to think of the girl's unfortunate fate. What if last night he didn't help her?

Raymond was eager to have a one-on-one talk with Anne. Not talking about feelings, of course. But, she wanted to warn Anne to keep her distance from the man named Jerry. However, Raymond knew clearly the ins and outs of Jerry's debt-ridden ugliness.

"Ah, what do I care?" murmured Raymond in front of Abrine.

"What did you say?" ask Abrine in amazement.

"Ng. You heard wrong. Excuse me, yeah. I don't want your husband to beat me up again."

"Did El ever beat you up?" abrine asked quite surprised.

"Hahaha, just ask him. Tell him I'm not afraid I'm going to have to duel with him but I'm not doing that because I respect you and I don't want to make you sad later."

Raymond waved his hands while walking backwards. The man turned around and left Abrine's office feeling dissatisfied that he had not had a chance to warn Anne.
