THE ENTERTAINER
CHAPTER 43
A week later, Naya is running small after Noah's big steps. Sometimes the guy really tests it. Just look at it now, Naya who was having trouble pulling two large suitcases, while Noah was leisurely walking in front of her.
“Can your steps be smaller?” Naya protest.
“It's not my fault that your legs are short.”
The answer that made Naya even more upset.
“OK, don't blame me too if I'm lagging far behind.” His steps are no longer quickening. He was walking like Noah. Although the airport was so big, they were not late, so maybe he could relax a little, without chasing Noah's step again.
In fact, Naya could have walked first or ignored Noah's turn, only this was her first experience entering the airport. He has never been out of the country or out of town on a plane in his entire life. So, following and following Noah's movements was one of his ways of staying there.
A man in his official clothes approached Noah, seemingly asking for his luggage or luggage. When Noah pointed at him, Naya swiftly put on a well-built body, the man smiled at him.
“Please Miss, this is your boarding pass, and the trunk, I take over from here.”
Naya smiled broadly while giving thanks to the man who was dressed as one of the airlines.
“Naya, get here.”
Naya's lips pursed. What else now? Noah wouldn't be satisfied if he didn't see it in distress. Naya approached forward, Noah suddenly rubbed his sweat-filled forehead using a handkerchief he took from his pocket.
“Why do you sweat once?”
Naya is gaping, Noah still questions her reason for sweating? Alright, Naya has lost her temper.
“oh sorry, I guess we went to the airport to go to Singapore, it turns me to the airport for marathon training.”
Suddenly his forehead was flicked by Noah's finger. “You're insinuating me?”
Naya laughed mockingly. “I can't dare.” Then he walked first, but suddenly his steps stopped. He really doesn't know which way to go.
“Ke direction here.” Noah pulled his hand, not holding his wrist, but wrapped his palm with his big fingers. Unknowingly, all of that vexation was overflowing. Naya smiled, she returned Noah's grasp.
***
On the plane everything is so awkward, Naya who does not know what to order when one of the flight attendants offers her a menu with a variety of food choices. He could only glance at Noah sitting beside him while enjoying champagne as a welcome drink.
“Master, Noah. Hmm, what did you order for this?” Naya lifted up her menu board.
Noah took a quick glance at her, then spoke to the flight attendant while saying the name of the menu that Noah might have been out of his head. As the flight attendant left, Naya grabbed her champagne glass as well.
“Do not drink it.”
Naya flicked the glass that was right in front of her lips. “Why?”
“Your alcohol tolerance is low. I don't want the hassles of taking care of a drunk woman.”
“Mr Noah, you did not forget, right, my first job.”
Naya also believes that the alcohol content of the drink must be low. Naya can hold it as long as she doesn't finish a bottle.
Noah ignores her, then calls a flight attendant and asks for a soda for Naya.
Naya who was just about to sip her drink, had to be willing when her glass was snatched by Noah and kept out of her reach.
“Drink this only.” Noah thrust out the cold soda can.
“You are very annoying today.”
“I don't care.” Noah then raised the bulkhead between them after wearing noise-cancelling headphones.
Naya could only snort more and more annoyed. Luckily the flight was just over an hour.
Once there, Naya and Noah head to one of the luxury hotels located in the Marina Bay Sands area. Once they arrive, they are greeted with a very wide open lobby with a predominantly white decoration. There is a long check-in desk on the left and right of the entrance. However, for those with more money, there is a counter for VIP-only check-in.
“Noah!” the voice of someone calling from a distance.
Naya and Noah turn around at once, finding Calvin running towards them a little.
“Nice to see you again, Naya.”
Naya smiled sweetly as the answer.
“Evennight. Coincidentally you're here, let me introduce you to Mr. Tony.”
Calvin walked in front, Noah and Naya followed behind. They headed to the swimming pool on the 57th floor. It was a swimming pool with an infinity pool concept that connected the three towers, which were a way of accessing them, with a special key given to each guest. There are long sofas along the pool, and many neatly arranged pool chairs near the pool.
Calvin's steps continued towards a restaurant that was right next to the pool. To one of the men who was holding me a woman dressed in her swimming suit.
“Hello, sir.”
The man who was making out shamelessly in the middle of the day like this, looked up at Calvin.
“Oh, hi, Calvin.”
“Sir, this is Noah, CEO of Paris-based Elmer Corp, who I told you about two days ago.”
Noah approaches to introduce himself, but something unsettles Naya. The man who was in his 40s was staring long at him. Even when Noah reached out his hand.
“Sir?” Calvin called.
“Oh, yes ... Noah? Right?”
Finally the perverted man stood up after getting rid of the woman on his lap. The woman passed by and passed by Naya with a smile. I don't know what that smile means.
After that was the talk of an annual event that they will be aware of tonight. An event to bring together various entrepreneurs and business people in the automotive field to build relationships and exchange important information. This event is very crucial, because it can smooth the path of Noah. That was what Noah explained to him, but still, Naya did not understand anything, Noah just told her, that Naya only needed to stand where Noah could reach.
As Naya was staring at Noah's back, the perverted man occasionally glanced at her. Naya could only cast her gaze towards the crowded swimming pool.
“OK. See you tonight.”
“Maybe we can have lunch tomorrow,” take the man.
“Of course,” replied Noah before finally coming back to Naya.
“What's up? You look jumpy?”
Naya shakes. “It's okay. I'm just exhausted.”
“OK, let's go back to room.”
They also walked to their room which is the most expensive signature suite at the hotel. Once inside, they were greeted by gold ornaments, then there was a living room with a tv and a large sofa, and a dining table with marble and leather chairs. The room also faces directly with transparent windows that show off other buildings. There are two rooms in the suite, in a wider room even equipped with massage chairs in the corner of the room, and a walking closet complete with amenities from a luxury brand from Italy. What intrigued Naya the most of all was that even her trash was covered in skin.
Again Naya could only be amazed by the life of a rich man like Noah. They could enjoy a life full of luxuries like this at any time.
“You hungry?” Noah took off the jacket he had been wearing.
“Not too.”
“OK, rest, I'll finish some work first.”
Noah then walked towards the wider room and returned with a laptop in his hand. He opened a closet in the door that was engraved elegantly. Noah took out one tall glass and one bottle of mineral water. Under the cupboard is a refrigerator filled with Wisky, Vodka, and of course Wine.
“Drink this.” Noah again poured mineral water while for himself he took out a bottle of White Wine.
“You've had too much to drink today. Even on the plane you do not stop ordering the drink.”
“I need it to clear my mind.”
“Clean your mind from what?”
Noah was silent for a long time, before he finally approached Naya and stopped right in front of her. It might be because of the air conditioning that was ignited or because of Noah's gaze that made his entire body shudder. Especially when Noah's thumb rubbed his lower lip overtime, before Noah said, “To not kiss you.”
Naya was surprised, with her body stiffened, her heart rhythm suddenly danced beautifully.
The finger that Noah had used to wipe his lips, now moved to his forehead and then touched it. “I'm kidding. Rest, two more hours some butlers will come to help you prepare.” Noah sat back on the couch and started typing something on his laptop.
Naya finally entered another room. He closed his room and leaned against the door. He took in his breath which had been restrained earlier. Although Noah was joking but his heart was not. His heart was like it was going to come out of his chest cavity. Naya hit her own head. It was just a joke. Noah couldn't possibly still like it after all the things he did hurt the man.
While Noah was pretending to type, smiling slightly, he would hold himself back, as much as possible, because the most important thing for him was to make Naya not feel his love, that way, he would hold her back, as much as possible, because the most important thing for her was to make Naya feel his love, he didn't have to worry if Naya would leave again. He just needs to make sure Naya thinks that she is really returning the favor to him.
