The Horizon Boundaries

Ch.30 Rival

Maisa sits sweetly on the corner bench of the room. His eyes looked around him.All the rooms were all white, his incomprehensible studio equipment lined up. Ken stood behind the backdrop, doing a photo session. He feels more handsome than usual. Probably because of the makeup effect.

A few moments before. After getting out of the lecture room, his steps were blocked by Ken. The man wanted to take her to his workplace. At first I wanted to refuse. As Ken looked at him with dimmed eyes, he unbundled his intentions.

A man dressed in a light yellow suit, with reddish-colored hair narrowing his eyes. Scrutinizing from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head. Walk slowly around, judging his appearance. The index finger tapped his chin. He shook his head.

Maisa was a bit clumsy to notice since earlier. He was wearing only a short-sleeved grey t-shirt, black jogger pants, and white sneakers. Pretty cool, he thinks. His hand rubbed his neck. Ken grabbed her waist, introduced Albert.

"This is my girlfriend, Maisa. And this is Albert, the owner of the biggest fashion house in Indonesia."

Maisa gave a sweet smile, extending her hand. "Hello, nice to meet you."

"Hello Maisa's. Hello to you." Albert returned the girl's hand.

Claps! Albert clapped his hands. All staff gathered. The man gave some instructions. Ken's out of the dressing room. Gluey! Maisa gulped her saliva, her good looks indeed cannot be ignored. He was so handsome that Maisa could not turn her eyes away.

"How do I look?" Ken reviewed the charming smile.

Maisa gave two thumbs up. Ken pinched his nose. He put his face to the girl.

"I want to show you how handsome I am to you." Whispers watered.

Maisa laughed a little. Where did this man's confidence come from. The cup! A kiss landed on Ken's right cheek. Maisa steals the opportunity as all the staff focus on Albert.

Ken stroked his cheek. His eyes widened. His smile is getting wider. The girl turned her face away, her cheeks looking red.

Ken leaned his back against the pole. His left leg bent, plunging into the body of the pole. His hand carried an open thick book.

"okay! Nice one!" Exclaim Albert

A woman walked into the photo shoot, wearing a red tube dress, revealing her sexy curves. His shoulders were left open. Her face is beautiful with makeup polish nuanced in line with her clothes.

Maisa recognized who was coming. Alice Loraine, a rumored model and actress approaches Ken. Beside him was a male manager walking hastily in his footsteps.

"It's not that Alice doesn't have a photo shoot today."

The whispers of the staff stopped by his ears. The girl approached and sat in front of him. Look at every inch of Maisa's body. The corner of his lips rose upwards forming a sinister smile. His eyes were full of dislike.

Maisa replied with a smile. Nodding your head to be polite. Although there was a sense of arrogance in the depths of his heart.

“You're Maisa, right? Since when do you know Ken?” Alice said in passing. He noticed that his fingernails were decorated with beautiful nail art.

Both of Maisa's eyebrows twitched in restraining the vexation. Her lips twitched maintaining her smile. “Not too long ago. Brother Ken is my senior at the college.”

“You have a crush on Ken huh?”

Maisa opened her lips, "Yes. Why why?"

A pair of hands hugged his neck from behind. Maisa raised her head, looking at her face. A pair of black-colored shady eyes met his brown bead. He grabbed the man's arm that was wrapped around his neck, summarizing it gently. Ken kissed his forehead.

“Maisa. We both have the same feeling. Is there a problem?”

The sound of the bus coming out of Ken's lips was cold. Her net let out a fury looking at the woman sitting in front of Maisa. Upset of course considering how scheming the woman was trying to destroy the girl he loved. No matter how hard Maisa is, she can still get hurt.

Alice clenched her hand at the end of the dress, clenching her lips, her teeth slapping. His eyes looked at the two full of hatred.

Albert and all the staff left, not wanting to participate in their feud. Alice stood up from her chair.

“Ken! Why are you acting like that to me. You know, I love you dead."

“But I don't like you. Do I have to force you to like me. We are just working partners. No more!”

“What attracts him. Beautiful too. Even known as a crazy chick." Alice attacked him blatantly. His index finger immediately pointed at the girl in front of him.

"Why should I conform to your standards?"

The smile on Ken's face expanded. He approached the girl, grabbed her arm. Maisa stood next to him. Keep her body close until there is no gap. His hand gently rubbed the girl's head.

“You know, I actually like it like this.”

Ken kissed Maisa's left eye. A red hue oozed out from under the skin of his cheek. Didn't expect Ken to go that far. He led the girl out of Alice who was still dumbstruck.

Maisa glanced at him silently. Ken realized the girl was stealing a glance at him.

“Am I that handsome?" Put her face closer to a few inches away. Staring sharp.

Maisa clenched her left hand, leaning closer to her lips, cleared her throat softly. "I didn't think Ken's sister would tell him that."

"It's not like you either."

Maisa grimaced, scratching her non-itchy hair. "But it seems like Brother Ken hates her that much. How can?"

The man was silent for a moment. What he had to tell the girl about the incident a while ago. Alice manipulated someone to spread the video as if it were her friend spreading it.

“It's okay, really. ” Ken smiled gently, decided to hide it.

“Kak Ken really doesn't like Alice. She's beautiful." Oh." There was discomfort coming out of his voice. I don't know why he doesn't like Ken being close to that girl.

“Why? Jealousy huh?"

Maisa shook her head. "Who is jealous?"

"Hmmm...."

Ken raised his eyebrows. Showing a face of disbelief. In his heart was pleased that the girl was beginning to show jealousy. He brought his face closer until their foreheads touched each other.

"You look sweet when you're jealous." Ken said in a low tone tickling the ears.

Maisa tries to avoid. He took a few steps back until his back touched the wall. Ken locked her in both hands. His face is so close. Is he gonna kiss her. Maisa closed her eyes, holding her breath. He felt very close to him, Ken's breath hitting his face.

The sound of the door opening. Erik's voice sounded happy, chattering in a cheerful tone. "Hey, did I hear that Alice came here today?"

"I really care." Kio answered him indifferently.

Both of them saw two lovebirds holding hands. It looks awkward. Ken's facial features looked irritated, and the girl beside him turned her reddened face the other way.

Erik realized what was happening. "What we're bothering."

"No, really," replied Maisa slowly. Covering his face with the back of his hand.

"Just interrupt" Ken growled. His eyes were ready to kill anyone who approached.

Erik just laughed. Didn't expect Ken to be so blatant. Usually he always put on a flat or sour face if anyone approaches him.

“Ken really likes that girl? I can hardly believe seeing it. All this time, he was always cold. Looks like the girl changed Ken,” Erik said after the two lovebirds left the dressing room.

Kio shrugged his shoulders. It all sounds boring to him. Erik still doesn't know who Maisa really is. Kio didn't tell him. Not unwilling, just lazy. Kio lazily took out energy to explain everything to this chatty brat beside him.

Alice growls at the closeness of Ken and Maisa on her way out. Both hold hands. Ken had a warm smile. His fingers tidied up the bangs covering the girl's face.

He pushed his red silhouette to the floor. Both hands clenched. Why should he. He knew Ken first. He should be the one in the man's arms, not the girl.

Ken is mine.
