The Gray Autumn's

Solace Hug's

"I know if it must be Benjamin Royce, right?" lure Arumi again. Autumn did not answer. He was still struggling with the contents of his plate. "If you and he are a match, then you two will definitely unite. That's what the old saying says" Arumi said.

"I hope so. Do you think you have the same expectations as me, Mom?" ask Autumn plain. He looked at the mother for a moment, then turned his attention again to the leftovers in the dish.

"I or your father, of course, always hope for the best. Whether it's for you and Darren, although it's not uncommon for you two to be so worried about us as parents," Arumi laughed softly after ending her speech. "You know Edgar is a strict guy, but he's not a tough guy. He's a gentle and romantic guy, besides ...."

"Million flattery will never end for Mr. Hillaire. Is Mom entering second puberty?" Autumn scrunched her forehead. While Arumi laughed again. It was funny when he heard the girl's words. However, it will be much better when compared to when seeing Autumn locked herself in the room while crying.

......................

As planned, Autumn will resign from her office that day. He urged Gabriel to help him to improve the resignation process he proposed, even though it was actually hard for the blond man to do so. "I'm going abroad for a few weeks. So, I can't possibly take time off for that long, right?" Autumn spoke very calmly before Gabriel.

"Where are you going, Elle?" asked the green-eyed man curiously.

However, Autumn did not reply. He just smiled knot. The girl looked at Gabriel for a while with a faint look. "I'm sorry, Gabriel," he said later. The words just slid by, even though it sounded quite slow.

"Sorry for what?" ask Gabriel astonished. He then got up from his seat and walked over to Autumn who was standing near the desk.

"I want to apologize for everything. Everything I've done. Every mess is so shameful," Autumn replied softly, as she followed the blond-haired man with her gaze.

Autumn laughed crisply. Gabriel was wrong to think that he would say so much to her. Gabriel did not know the beautiful girl very well. He only knew who Autumn was on the surface. "Listen to me, Gabriel. Whatever happened between me and Benjamin, it's none of your business. I'm just here to submit my resignation from this job. I hope you can help me so that the process can be faster, after all I am here only an intern. However, if indeed the procedure takes a long time and long-winded .. then I want to ask for permission for you to escape from here, because I will leave the day after tomorrow," Autumn explained lightly.

Gabriel took a deep breath, then simply blew it away. A short complaint glides and accompanies the look of the face that looks a little confused. "It turns out you're a rebel, Elle. I have to give a thumbs up to Mr. Royce. He who has such a calm character, has been able to conquer you very well. Now I understand why Mr. Royce can be such a great and successful businessman. I admired him even more and of course had to learn a lot from the man" Gabriel said as he occasionally scratched his forehead.

Autumn simply responded to Gabriel's words with a small smile. The man had no idea that Benjamin had not managed to familiarize himself with Fleur who was a ten-year-old boy. But beyond that, Autumn must admit that Benjamin is indeed an extraordinary man. "I think that's it, Gabriel. This is my last day working with you. I also learned a lot here" Autumn said a moment later.

"Alright, Elle. I just hope we can keep on communicating well. There's no harm, right? Yes, although my disappointment has not completely disappeared, because you have rejected the expression of love that I offer you. But that doesn't matter. After all, I don't want to compete with a guy like Benjamin Royce" he said with a soft laugh. For a moment, Gabriel stared fixedly at Autumn's pretty face. "Can I just hold you for a second, Elle?" tanyanya was a little hopeful.

The gray-eyed girl smiled again. He gestured to Gabriel, signifying that Autumn had invited the man to hug her. Without wasting any time, Gabriel immediately grabbed onto his all-round body. At least, he can make it as a solace gift for his reciprocated love.

Without feeling it, Autumn had completed her final task. Before going home, he took the time to say goodbye to his teammates in the marketing department. Although it feels heartwarming, but Autumn can step out of the magnificent building The Royal Royce, with a heart full of relief.

That afternoon, Autumn again climbed the streets of Paris with a gust of wind that felt quite cold. As usual, the long-haired beauty walked over while putting both of her hands in the pocket of the coat she was wearing. The day after he left for Indonesia. Autumn also does not intend to say goodbye first to the lover. For him, yesterday's meeting was more than enough. He did not want to grieve and cry, as it was hard to part with Benjamin for some time.

"Hi, Elle," came the greeting of a familiar man in Autumn's ear. The girl stopped her steps and then looked over. Leon seemed to be so calmly walking towards him. Autumn can only breathe heavily. "How are you, Elle? What if we had a coffee for a while?" hello Leon who then ended up on a coffee invitation together.
