...Happy Reading's...

A bright enough sunlight came and looked into the apartment belonging to a girl through the curtain gap that was still tightly closed to make the girl's eyes narrow.

The girl further narrowed her eyes, trying to banish the sunlight that had barged in, while adjusting the light that also entered her vision.

The day has changed in the morning. He only remembers that last night, he dreamed of his first meeting with Jason after a long absence in his mind.

His head also throbbed, as if realizing that last night he was asleep because of the influence of alcohol he had consumed.

The level of endurance he had built up from a long time ago seemed to have exceeded it, once alcohol touched the threshold of tolerance he had.

The woman spread her gaze throughout the room, finding several bottles of alcohol that were still on the table as well as herself who fell asleep without having time to move to her mattress.

"Ack.." his head just kept on throbbing, he held it by the hand and slightly poked his nose slowly

I think I mostly drink Semalem

Jocelyn got up and walked to her room and picked up a bottle of drunken drink on the table.

After his dizziness disappeared slightly, he took his phone and saw some missed calls from his mother.

Without Jocelyn noticing, he had already been in Manhattan for nearly 5 days and still had not contacted both of his parents at all

With an uneasy feeling, he pressed down on a string of numbers and contacted his mother.

The call was connected but not lifted, making Jocelyn exhale slowly

He closed the call and went to the bathroom, this morning he was going to work the morning shift because he was going back to Brooklyn.

The night before he was finally drunk, he had received an email reply from the campus and according to his plan he would be enslaved in 3 days

And after good thought, he plans to wait for her with his parents at his Brooklyn home.

After finishing her bath and changing into her usual casual style, Jocelyn walked up to the balcony of her room and enjoyed her breakfast

He enjoyed the waffles served with berries and honey he made earlier with a glass of hot milk

While enjoying the breeze and also the light of the morning sun, his mind began to flash back to the events about the suicide committed by his cousin, marco

It has been 5 days since his arrival to Manhattan, and he has not done any re-investigation or looking for evidence that may have been eliminated by the perpetrator.

For now, Jocelyn was still confused as to what to do. He really didn't know where to start

Thinking about the answer to the preconceived plan, he found himself rethinking the cause of last night's hangover

Jocelyn had indeed forgotten about him, even her feelings for the man were gone. But that does not mean it will be okay if the two meet again.

This is also quite evident with him dreaming about his first meeting with Jason after a long time, right after the two met.

Jocelyn exhaled in annoyance, she already had no appetite once she remembered about the man.

He stared at the streets that seemed to be starting to solidify and decided to rest for a while longer while enjoying the sunlight that seemed to start rising

💸💸💸

Jocelyn had just finished her shift and was sipping her ice americano after a long time struggling with her job

This morning, when he arrived at the cafe. He told his manager that he would be returning to Brooklyn today

After finishing her drink, Jocelyn headed straight towards her locker and changed into clothes

The clock has already shown at 14:23 PM, and it's time for her to return to Brooklyn. But he had to return to his apartment first to pack his things.

After finishing packing his things in the apartment, he rushed back to Brooklyn and finally left Manhattan

Elsewhere, a man in his formal attire was typing something on his laptop

He was busy with his duties and did not care that for more than two hours he did not touch the slightest lunch made for him

His eyes were still focused on work that actually did not require his attention so intensely.

But as if there was nothing interesting besides his work, he did not care so much about the surrounding. Likewise with the presence of a woman who had been staring at him in disbelief

The woman was visibly annoyed by her unregarded presence, she grew even more upset that the man had not even touched the lunch he was carrying

A moment later, the sound of the door being knocked. The typical flat face of his personal assistant

The sight of the two people inside the room turned towards the man's personal assistant

With a sharp look, the man looked at his personal assistant as if asking about what important news he brought this time.

As if understanding the meaning of the gaze, the man who served as a personal assistant walked in and handed a file to his boss

The man looked at his assistant by raising next to his eyebrows and slightly tilting his head

The male assistant glanced at the woman who was still staring at the two and finally spoke in a slightly understated voice

"The woman, he applied for a job here boss," he said later and made the man who titled as his boss raise next to his eyebrows

The man opened the file inside the brown envelope and a moment later, the corner of the man's lips slightly lifted

"Interesting"
