Autumn stood while facing Gabriel. His face looked satisfied and did not show a tense look at all. The gray-eyed girl, was relieved to have been able to release the negative energy that had been mounting in her heart since. While Gabriel was watching the beautiful girl before him with a strange highlight. The blond man sat on the edge of the desk, with both hands on the left and right sides. "Say something to me, Elle. Why were you acting so wild?" Gabriel started a conversation between them.
"He started it, I just responded," Autumn replied calmly.
"By hitting Elloise in the face until her nose bleeds?" Gabriel shook his head slowly while clucking in disbelief. "That's not a good way to respond, miss," he said. Gabriel then folded both hands on the chest.
"It all depends on who I'm dealing with" Autumn denied, feeling innocent. "Again, he pulled my hair first. I was just putting up a fight. Do you think that's wrong?" Autumn was acting very arrogant in front of Gabriel. He didn't seem to be afraid at all. "Please report me to the big boss. I'm sick of being here" said the girl again.
"What's the point of me reporting an Autumn, to a big boss who is her own lover?" satirical Gabriel. He then straightened his body and approached the brunette girl. "Listen, Elle. You can feel sick of being here. However, because of the incident earlier, then I still have to take action as a deterrent effect and also a warning to others," the green-eyed man's tone still sounded relaxed.
"Oh, so I'm the only one you're going to punish? What about Elloise?" the Autumn protest was firm.
"He's my personal assistant. There was a lot of work to do," Gabriel's defense made Autumn laugh crisply. "Why? What's so funny?" the 180 cm man scrunched his forehead.
"What does Elloise do besides pacing back and forth and criticizing the work of others? There's none. I think he's not competent at all. I wonder how you can raise such a person to be a personal assistant" Autumn said, turning her face away from Gabriel.
Gabriel responded to the beautiful girl who had stolen his attention with a small smile. "Well, if you think Elloise is unfit to be a personal assistant and incompetent, then for the next week you'll be doing everything that's her job," break Gabriel down calmly.
Instantly Autumn was wide-eyed when she heard the remark of the head of marketing. He could not allow the man to behave as he pleased with himself. "Hey, what do you mean? You can't act like that to me!" loud protests. "I'm just an intern here and not interested in ...."
"Take this as a rebuke and a warning to you, Elle. Remember, we have rules to follow. What you've done has caused trouble and I can't handle it well. You've made one of my team members hurt. That's why you should be punished!" the firm and very clear verdict from Gabriel, made Autumn speechless. "We see if you can do anything more than punch your coworker in the face" the man challenged. After saying so, Gabriel stretched out his hand towards the door as a gesture that the conversation between them had finished. He invites Autumn to get out of his room.

The next day, Benjamin had already brought Fleur home. The little girl's situation has improved. Doctors only recommend that Fleur rest more and consume healthy foods. The condition of Aamber is the same. The slightly fat woman had returned to activities. He was so happy that Fleur had been allowed to go home.
"Today I have to see a business associate. Please take care of Fleur while I'm gone" said Benjamin, who had changed his clothes after coming from the hospital. He looks a lot fresher.
"Not even you ask I'll take care of her, Ben. Did you forget who Fleur lived with?" aamber's response instantly made Benjamin smile widely while nodding softly.
"I have to leave immediately. Fleur, be good at home. If there's anything, don't hesitate to call me right away" Benjamin said. Not to forget that the man gave a warm kiss on the princess' forehead just his wayang before he passed.
"Mr Hillaire" said Benjamin to the lover's father.
Edgar. A smile was painted on that handsome face full of charisma. "Mr Royce. How are you?" his reply. Warm and full of intimacy, Arumi's husband shook Benjamin's hand.
"My news is very good. What about you?" Benjamin asked back.
"As you can see," Edgar took a deep breath as he stared around the area. "It was a very beautiful day, even though the weather was cold and piercing," he said, looking back at Benjamin.
"Yes. You're right" said Benjamin. He received a golf stick that Edgar had proffered to him. "So, what's the important issue about the resort?" it was Benjamin's turn to play.
“I don't know if this is a big deal or not. However, as one of the closest business partners and also a shareholder, I just want to share a little story with you" Edgar said. Benjamin did not answer. He looked at Edgar with a curious look.
"At the end of last summer, there was one high-ranking government official who visited and spent his vacation at the resort. He also apparently brought with him a large family, including his elderly father. The problem was that the father of the official had fallen while he was passing through the road to the pavilion. He said the material lining the trail was too slippery. The official gave a strong rebuke to the resort staff. News of the little incident appeared in one of the local newspapers of the city of Marseille. I'm just afraid this will bring a bad image to the good name of our resort, which was only opened some time ago," Edgar said at length.
"Oh, yeah sure. Such accidents happen frequently. I guess, if they just blame the facilities that don't fit, it won't be too much of a problem. We have considered everything playfully, even for every detail of the material used. After all, how many people had passed the path, and only the father of the official had fallen there. It's too ridiculous that until then it will be used as an excuse to harass our resort, especially the age of his father was not young anymore," Benjamin took a deep breath.
"You're absolutely right, Mr. Royce. "I just hope there is no continuation of this matter" Edgar replied.
Benjamin nodded slowly. His mind was now fixed on Autumn. It was a good time for him to speak to Edgar. "Mr Hillaire. I'd also like to say something important to you," the gray-eyed man had already made up his mind. He must soon end his hidden love story with Edgar Hillaire's daughter.
"Oh, that sounds very serious" said Edgar still looks calm. He even had a charismatic smile on Benjamin.
"Yes, this is very serious to me," Benjamin was silent for a moment. He was gathering all the calmness that had disappeared due to nervousness. This is the second time for the owner of The Royal Royce, speaking before the parents of the girl he loved after Samantha first.
"Say me, Mr. Royce. What do you want to talk to me about?" Edgar watched the man next to him.
"I want to talk about my relationship with Autumn."
