Aphrodite stepped out of her office with the bracelet she meant in the bag she was carrying. Aphrodite breezed down the sidewalk until she arrived at the fork in the road, at a red light; she could already see Laura standing in front of the Francisco office. The woman seemed to have just arrived and was waiting for her to arrive. Aphrodite was silent for a moment waiting for the lights to turn red, as soon as the road was ready to cross; she soon crossed over and approached Laura. The woman approached when she saw Aphrodite coming.
"May I see the bracelet?" He tries to calm down.
"Attent." Aphrodite took it out of her bag and gave it to Laura. The woman's face changed in an instant that initially looked anxious it now looks relieved because it managed to find the bracelet that had been lost and released from her wrist. Aphrodite looked at Laura, the woman looked very happy when she had returned the bracelet she had given. Even Laura hugged her bracelet and unceasingly kissed the bracelet.
"Is that how valuable the bracelet is to him?" Aphrodite nodded, she frowned not understanding what was really going on. "But in retrospect...What is the relationship between Jordan and Laura? Why would Laura's bracelet be in Jordan's room? This is completely absurd, when clearly Laura said on the phone that she lost her bracelet. Then why is that bracelet on Jordan? Do they know each other? Did they meet? Or is this just a coincidence? Laura could have accidentally dropped her bracelet on the way back to the restaurant, then Jordan accidentally saw it and then picked it up. But..it does not make sense, especially Jordan is a rich man so it is also impossible if he picked up other people's items that have fallen. Especially on the street." Aphrodite was busy with different thoughts coming to her mind.
"Thank you for finding my bracelet. It means so much to me." Laura looked at Aphrodite sparkling.
"It's not a problem, after all it's nothing." Aphrodite smiled.
...*...
Jordan was silent accompanied by the sweet cup of tea he had originally ordered, his gaze still faithfully staring out the window. Stare at the passing car with a few pedestrians stepping on the sidewalk.
Jordan's attention was instantly turned to the other side, as both beads of his eyes accidentally caught Aphrodite's figure now standing together with Laura. Stunned, Jordan woke up spontaneously from the chair he was sitting in.
"Laura.." he muttered softly, trying to clarify his figure. Looking more observant again, and it turned out to be true. It was Laura.
Rushing Jordan stepped out, he was about to cross over and approach them. But the busy road with a few passing cars made it difficult to get across. Several large cars flashed past making him unable to see Laura clearly. Before long, the lights turned red and he was able to cross.
Jordan moves quickly across the street, but again loses Laura when she gets there. Instead, she met Aphrodite, who was just about to enter her husband's office.
"Sir Jordan.." Aphrodite stopped her steps. "What is your father doing here?"
Jordan did not reply, he was still trying to find Laura. Spreading his gaze around hoping that the woman was still there, but disappeared. Laura is no longer there.
"Sir?" Aphrodite called out to him once more with a puzzled look on her face. His voice managed to make Jordan wake up from his daydream. "Mr okay?"
"Ah. yeah, I'm fine."
"What's the father here for?"
"No, I just felt like I saw someone I knew around here and I wanted to say hello. But I think I saw it wrong."
"Someone he knows?" Aphrodite nodded, trying to figure out who she meant. "Is that someone she knows Laura? If it's true, it means that Laura and Jordan have a relationship. They know each other."
"Aphrodite?" Now it was Jordan's turn to look at Aphrodite with a confused look on her face, the woman was daydreaming.
"Yes?"
"Well, by the way, what are you doing here? Aren't you taking your lunch break?"
"I just wanted to have lunch, I'm here to meet Frans and have lunch with him."
"Oh... Then, who did you meet just now?"
"That was my friend. We met because there were some things I had to talk to him about."
"That's it…"
"Yes. Then excuse me, lunchtime's just a little more."
"Please."
Aphrodite stepped inside Francisco's office, passed through the lobby to get to the elevator and went to the floor where Francisco was.
Jordan sighed harshly, again failing to catch Laura and stopping her from hiding in her hiding place. Feeling that there was nothing he had to do there anymore, Jordan then stepped across to continue his activities. He still hasn't had time for lunch because he's too busy enjoying warm sweet tea.
...*...
Jordan entered his study, arriving there he sat in his great chair. "I'm sure I saw Laura. Even I saw it very clearly, but why was it that once I got there he wasn't around? Is it possible that he saw me and quickly escaped?"
Jordan was in his place, his mind drifting away from his body. Since meeting Laura again, he began to be unsettled. Jordan wants to meet Laura again, wants to take her and protect her. Lead him out of his hiding place. But unfortunately every time he tried to get to her, Laura was missing from his side.
"Where are you now? I miss you.." Jordan murmured softly. He reached into the pocket of the suit he was wearing, looking for Laura's bracelet. But the bracelet he was looking for was lost somewhere. Jordan panicked, he woke up. Checking his pants pocket and not finding the bracelet he was looking for.
"No! No, don't. Don't let me lose the only thing that makes me feel like you're always by my side." Jordan panics, looking over his messy desk but still unable to find it.
"When was the last time I saw her?" Jordan tried to recall, but he completely forgot and couldn't remember.
"No.." Jordan walked up to the couch looking there, looking over the table and around the room. His bracelet he really could not find.
"Aragh!" He broke his hair in frustration. Now in addition to losing track of Laura, she also loses the only item that keeps her reminded of the woman she loves.
His secretary stepped inside his room after knocking on his door slowly. The woman carries a file in her hand, she stops at the door when she finds the worried Jordan.
"Sir? You looking for something?" Ask.
"I was looking for the bracelet I was carrying" he said without turning his head.
"Wristbands?"
"Oh yeah, did you see it? It's shaped like this." Jordan showed me the picture on his phone.
"Isn't this a girl's bracelet? Does it have a father?"
"I asked if you saw it or not, instead of commenting!" Tukas Jordan was upset, his secretary instead switched the conversation.
"Huft~ where then, huh? Would you not fall in a restaurant?" Jordan memonologist.
"O-oh yeah, sir. This is the meeting file."
"You just put it on the table, I want to go out for a minute." He stepped out of his study. The secretary put the file on the desk and went back to her desk.
"What's with that bracelet to the point that Mr. Jordan is so freaked out his bracelet doesn't exist? Is that a precious bracelet? But when viewed from the carving and the shape is really beautiful, I have never even seen it anywhere. Looks like the bracelet was really valuable, so frantic sir Jordan ate it." The woman monologued, she then sat in her chair and began to get busy again with some of her unfinished work.
Jordan stepped out of his office, walking down the sidewalk while watching the streets he walked through to find his bracelet. Along the way, he could not find the bracelet he was looking for until he arrived at the restaurant and asked the owner for permission to look for the bracelet. After searching for it for a long time, he could not find the bracelet anywhere.
Jordan left the restaurant to go to his office. He came home empty-handed, because his bracelet was not at all successful he found. "Now I've even lost the bracelet, but it's the only thing that makes me feel like Laura's always by my side."
Jordan stayed at his desk with his head down. His face was gloomy not playing.

Laura stepped in through the front door along with several visiting customers. He walked quickly to the back of the dressing room to change his clothes with his work uniform.
"You're back?" His friend looked at him as soon as he arrived and had put on his chef uniform.
"Yes. Thanks for helping me, by the way."
"Not a problem." The woman approached Laura and looked at her face closely, looking at her face. "Why are you, by the way? Your face is beaming like that, is there something?"
"Nothing." Laura just smiled wryly. The woman who became his friend squinted her eyes.
"I got suspicious, you left with a face that looked so excited then when you came home. You came back with a radiant face. I'm getting suspicious, are you not getting close to someone?"
"What's? Oh, don't joke. We better focus on cooking. Customers are starting to arrive." Laura stayed away from him.
"Hey! I'm not done talking to you, Laura!" He was after Laura.
...*...
Days have passed since Aphrodite discovered a riddle and a big question mark between Laura and Jordan. Today Aphrodite and Laura are shopping, today is her schedule Aphrodite learned more about cooking. And Aphrodite acknowledged Laura's greatness in cooking was on par with Bertha's greatness. It's just that both are great in different fields, and both have their own style in cooking.
Aphrodite and Laura stepped out from inside the supermarket where they were shopping, in both hands; they carried each of them two large plastic bags containing the food ingredients they needed to learn to cook today.
The two of them walked down the sidewalk, occasionally chatting about funny things that made the two laugh.
Laura's steps stopped when she suddenly remembered that there was something she had forgotten to buy.
"I forgot to buy a few things, the essential ingredients needed for cooking" she said.
"What did you forget?"
"Just some of my ingredients. Can you wait here for a while while I'm gone?"
"Let me buy the ingredients, which is the list."
"It's okay to let me."
"Come let me, let me know what you need, too."
"You sure?"
"Nl." Aphrodite nodded steadily. "Now just give me the list after that I'll buy it, you go first to the restaurant. I'll catch up. If you wait here, it will be very difficult to handle all this yourself. So you better go first, I'll catch up."
"All right." Laura lowered the plastic bag in her hand to the cement ground, she reached into her bag and double-checked some of the list she made. "It." Laura offered a shopping list that had not been crossed out. All the names of the materials were still clearly written there.
"OKAY. You go home first by taxi, after that we meet at the restaurant."
"Yes." Yeah."
Aphrodite crossed the road leaving Laura, now standing on the edge, in search of an empty taxi passing by, as soon as she found the empty taxi she was looking for; he immediately entered and asked the driver to drive himself to the restaurant where he worked. Today he will teach Aphrodite to cook some new dishes.
Aphrodite went to one of the supermarkets that were there to buy the ingredients left behind, she had gone to visit several supermarkets because the ingredients she was looking for were not in every supermarket. Shortly after purchasing all the materials he had found, he returned with a bag of plastic in his grasp. He stepped slowly down the sidewalk.
His phone rang making Aphrodite's focus seized, he pulled out his phone as he continued walking. Calling in from Laura, he was about to answer her but he accidentally hit a man standing in front of him until all the things he bought fell on the floor.
"Sorry, I didn't see you." The man—Jordan, squatting helps Aphrodite.
Aphrodite looked up as she heard a familiar voice. The two looked at each other and were shocked at the same time.
"Aphrodite?"
"Jordan?"
"It just so happens that we meet here." Jordan chuckles.
"Haha, right. I'm sorry, I accidentally hit you."
"It's okay." Jordan smiled and helped her with her groceries. When the two wake up, Jordan gives Aphrodite a plastic bag in her hand.
"Thank you." Aphrodite smiled. His attention was again seized by his phone which read, he picked it up immediately. "I've got all of Laura's material, now I'm on my way there," Aphrodite said as soon as her phone line was connected.
"Laura?" Jordan batin.
