Meanwhile, Autumn continues to set foot among towering high-rise buildings with magnificent European architecture. He paid no heed to the cold enough to stab at the body. Autumn continued to walk, even though she did not know where she was going.
For a moment, the beautiful girl in all her postures was stunned and stood by the lamp post. Autumn seemed to think while watching the people and also the vehicles passing in front of her. He let out a long breath, with both hands still in his coat pocket. It is impossible if he continues to spend time on the streets, in cold weather. However, even to go home he felt so lazy.
Still clearly remembered the attitude of Edgar who was so angry. It is not impossible when he comes home later, the man will certainly immediately flock him with all the advice that ends in the word disagree. Moreover, Edgar has said that he does not care about the cooperation he did with Benjamin. That means, Edgar is completely convinced by his decision, because Autumn knows his father very well. He knew that the charismatic man never spoke.
Autumn returned with a sorry breath. But now he seems to know where to go. The brunette then continued her steps, until she arrived in front of a towering apartment building. Autumn then contacted her old friend, Maeva. The girl who works as a model, immediately came to him outside. After exchanging news, Maeva invites Autumn to come in. Coincidentally there are some friends of the girl. They are Maeva's fellow models. However, apparently the girls were going to say goodbye when Autumn arrived there, so now there is only him and Maeva alone.
"Where have you been, Elle? It has been a long time since we met. Are you still interning at Mr. Royce's office?" Maeva presents Autumn's favorite fruit yoghurt which is immediately greeted cheerfully by the girl.
"Dead counting the days, Ev. I'm already feeling saturated being there," complained Autumn while enjoying her favorite fruit yogurt.
"Hey, why do you have to feel bored if you have a boss as handsome as Benjamin Royce," seduced Maeva while sitting while hugging a pillow, and lifting and folding her legs on a chair.
"He doesn't come every day" Autumn explained slowly.
"Again, for what a boss should intervene in the affairs of work. If I had the husband of a boss of a big company, then I wouldn't be working. Enjoying life and having fun will be much better to keep us young," Maeva giggled amusedly at her own words.
Autumn checks her phone. There were some incoming calls from Arumi that he ignored. Actually the girl felt bad, but this time she was really lazy to meet her parents. Autumn was about to re-enter the phone, when Benjamin's name appeared on the screen as a call-maker. The girl hesitated to answer the call. In the end, Autumn chose to ignore him.
Once again, Benjamin's name reappeared. Autumn intended not to answer. However, Maeva is seen throwing a strange look at him, making Autumn inevitably put aside her laziness. Not yet had he spoken, Benjamin had already asked, "Where are you, Elle?"
"Calm down, I'm fine. You don't have to worry, "Autumn replied in a casual tone.
"Are you home?" ask Benjamin again.
"No. I don't want to go home, I ...."
"Where are you? I'll pick you up right now" Benjamin said.
"No need. I told you ...."
"Tell me where you are now, 'cause I'm gonna pick you up!" benjamin's voice sounded much more resolute and emphasisful, making Autumn grunt softly. However, the girl did not immediately tell her current position. "Elle, don't beat around the bush. Tell me right now or I'll come to your house" Benjamin threatened.
"Oh, how could I dare to challenge the future father-in-law," Benjamin chuckled softly. Unbeknownst to him, his words had made Autumn smile a little. However, the smile was instantly gone when he remembered the incident earlier that afternoon in Benjamin's hotel ballroom. The discomfort re-emerged in the heart of the beautiful girl who owned the pair of dimples.
"I'm busy. I'll hang up the phone, "without waiting for Benjamin to answer, Autumn ends the conversation. He put his cell phone on the table.
"Who? Is she your lover?" ask Maeva curious.
Autumn took a deep breath. He went back to enjoying the fruit yoghurt and finished it. "My future husband," Autumn replied indifferently, but managed to make Maeva look perfect. "Why? Does that sound weird?" Autumn played a pair of her eyeballs.
"Prospective husband? Are you serious?" maeva asked fully inquiring and half in disbelief.
"Of course I'm serious. You know if I don't like to joke or talk carelessly" Autumn said, looking calm and carefree. However, Maeva still seemed to doubt Autumn's remarks. The girl then corrected her sitting position. "I'm about to marry a man much older than me. I love her, Ev. However, for some reason fear and doubt suddenly disturbs the mind. I also feel guilty and .. I don't know, Ev. I wanted to go and calm myself down," Autumn's countenance suddenly turned grim. His pair of eyes stared blankly, at the table where the stored cell phone was now back on. However, Autumn left it alone until the phone went out again. Not long after, a call came back in.
"You don't want to answer that call, Elle?" maeva asked who could immediately understand the meaning of her best friend's attitude.
"Let it go" replied Autumn. He just looked at his phone that was on and off for a few times. "I told you I was trying to avoid" he said flatly.
"Why don't you just go on vacation. Choose a country or a place that may not be on your lover's mind" suggests Maeva. "but, why would you want to avoid your own future husband? I think it's very strange. Does it belong to Bridezilla syndrome?" Maeva pulled her hair back.
"It's okay. It is common for every couple to get married. I think I need a little space to breathe freely" Autumn looked for an excuse. Although Maeva is a close friend, but she does not have to tell the sweet girl too personal problems.
"Yes, then as I suggested. Go on vacation for a few days to calm your mind. Close down all the access that can be reached by your future husband, and let the longing dominate both of you. If it's time for you two to meet again, then that passionate longing will definitely make you and also the one who is crazy ...." Maeva gave her advice to Autumn with an amused laugh ending. Especially when he saw the expression shown by his best friend.
However, what Maeva suggested earlier had made Autumn pause for a moment, while thinking about it carefully. Going somewhere where he can calm down is a brilliant idea. However, he had absolutely no idea where to go. "How wide is France? I think Ben will find me and find me" Autumn muttered. Unknowingly, he mentioned the name of the lover.
"Ben? Is that your future husband's name, Elle? It's because you didn't introduce her to me" Maeva put on a disappointed face in front of Autumn.
"Should I introduce you?"
"Ah, whatever," Maeva moved from her seat. "I'll order something for dinner. Do you want to have dinner here?" bargained for. However, before Autumn gave an answer, the girl had already passed into the room to pick up the phone. While Autumn stepped near the window, then stood there.
