Meet Me At Midnight's
About Brian from Liana


Gisel was speechless with what Liana had just said. He did not think that Liana would mention his name.


"Why do you think it's Brian?" gisel asked with a flat face and slightly averted his gaze from Liana. But Liana was indeed a little late realizing Gisel's facial expression.


"I just remembered when you fell asleep after drinking. Brian asked me to leave you and he'll take you inside the apartment. He also had time to ask for your house passcode." Liana's story.


"You know my house passcode?" gisel asked in surprise.


"Yes." Liana replied innocently.


"You know my house passcode but every time you come to my house you always ring a bell?" Gisel looked at Liana in annoyance as Liana always woke her up whenever she came. Liana simply laughed so that Gisel would not be too irritated at her.


"But he didn't wake you, did he? He didn't open either - take off your shirt, did he?" Liana started to wonder what happened with that night.


"What the hell are you? Brian is not that kind of person." replied Gisel.


"But I'm confused. Where do you know Brian? I think it's the first time you've met him." Liana was seen thinking about how Gisel and Brian could meet.


"He was. He was my old schoolmate." Gisel started to twitch. It was uncomfortable for Liana to ask such questions.


"She was also seen waiting for you in front of the apartment."


Somehow Gisel had to respond to Liana's story this time. As much as possible Gisel controlled his emotions so as not to open all the secrets to Liana.


"But you're lucky dong! After the director's inauguration, I'm after him. But, Bella, Brian's brother kicked me out of Brian's presence. I'm really upset with every look at Bella."


"Bella?"


"Yes, brother. Beautiful, assistant director, slim, anyway who does not envy her. But yes it is. She's assertive and huh. yeah, she doesn't like female models like me who work at night clubs."


"Where do you know Bella?" gisel asked in curiosity.


"Actually Bella was my high school friend in high school. She is famous for being smart, beautiful and fashionable. Yes how not fashionable if the family is so rich." Liana told with passion.


Gisel seems to be thinking about Brian's family that he never knew. Brian has a sister named Bella. Could it be the woman he hit near Liana's boutique in the past? Because she was the only woman when she saw a group of people who were with Bella.


"Eat yuk. Hungry on. Don't keep gosipin people!" Liana.


"Lho, I didn't start." Gisel got up from the sofa and started picking up towels.


"Wait ya! Shower first!" shout Gisel.

Edith waited for Maureen who had been in the toilet since. Lunch was in front of his eyes, but he still wouldn't touch it. He wanted to eat with Maureen.


Finally Maureen returned from the toilet and brought mineral water for them.


"Old kok?" tanya Edith started to open the spoon from the tissue.


"Buy the water first." Maureen replied then began to scoop up some bribes.


"Why don't you eat first when you're hungry?" maureen asked to see Edith who was getting greedy with her food.


"No. Eat together." replied Edith.


Maureen finished her lunch. Tilt his back briefly onto the chair. He accidentally saw Gisel sitting at the opposite table. Spontaneously, Maureen approached him.


"Hi, Gisel." said Maureen.


Gisel turned his head and smiled at Maureen.


"Hey. You eat here too?" greet Gisel in a friendly manner.


"Yes, I happened to see you." Maureen replied smiling.


"How are you, Maureen? You feel better than you did yesterday?" gisel asked and hugged Maureen.


"Better after meeting you. Thanks a lot." Maureen laughed at Gisel.


Edith just sat down and noticed Maureen who was so excited about greeting her friend. Edith had no idea who her friend was. He's never seen it. But they look familiar with the laughter that occasionally appears on Maureen's face. Was it his schoolmate? Or his college friend? Edith did not want to guess - nebak. Let alone. Maureen will also tell the story.


"Ok, see you next time huh, Maureen. I have lunch first." said Gisel while pointing at the restaurant he would visit.


"OKs. Bye." Maureen returned to her seat and Edith already looked curious.


"Just seen ya?" ask Maureen.


"Name Gisel. I used to misunderstand him for trying to take Farshall from me. But after meeting and talking to him, he was a good guy. And finally I know, he didn't do it all because he wanted to take Farshall. He's just looking for money. Yes that is." explained Maureen.


"Oh, means she's a girl who works at the night club dong?" tanya Edith immediately felt excited - gebu. She felt burned to the ground after learning that Maureen had just greeted a 'night woman'.


"Yes. It is indeed the person." Maureen replied innocently.


"Why do you bother to be friends with people like that? Because he's the same you Farshall broke up." Edith could not believe that Maureen wanted to be friends with the man who had destroyed her relationship with Farshall.


Maureen was somewhat surprised by what Edith had said. Maureen knew that Gisel was not the type of woman who would snatch someone else's lover even though she had the title of night woman.


"You're wrong, Edith. Gisel did it all because of his work. Maybe she's the comfort lady in the club. But outside, he's a good man. As you can see. And just so you know, he also suggested that I could give more time to Farshall. But indeed Farshall****, why do I keep him?" Maureen is heard defending Gisel.


Which Edith did not understand, why did Maureen so defend Gisel? For Edith, she was still a comforting woman who could have destroyed someone's relationship.


"Can't you be friends with Gisel?" edith asked to convince Maureen once more.


"No, Edith. I'm not sorry. Instead I thank you for being shown who Farshall really is." Maureen replied rather firmly and Edith could only nod.


"alright. If that's what you think is best. I'm not gonna do anything. I just hope that you don't regret your decision. That's all."


Maureen smiled at Edith who was worried about her. He thanked Edith for taking such great care of this friend.


"Yes. It won't." Maureen replied confidently.

Brian is busy with his work. Mr. Liam realized it all. But he just kept quiet and said that he didn't know anything when Bella asked him.


"Sir." call Mr. Liam when Brian has no stopping typing on the computer.


"It's lunch time. You have to eat first" said Mr. Liam.


"I'm still busy, sir." replied Brian without even turning his head towards Mr. Liam. Then Mr. Liam didn't speak anymore. He came out of Brian's room and closed it quietly.


Mr. Liam called a food restaurant to deliver food to the office. That was all Mr. Liam could think of so Brian wouldn't miss his lunch. Instead Brian fell ill because of his work piling up.


After going through lunch and finished typing, Brian stretched his muscles with his hands pulled to the front. Tired of working all day and sitting quietly at his desk.


Mr. Liam came in and brought Brian a box of food.


"It's your food, sir" said Mr. Liam, putting the box on the table.


"Lho, I didn't order, did I, sir?" brian was confused.


"Yes, no, sir. But this is me who ordered it. Don't let your meal be missed, sir." said Mr. Liam. Brian was happy to hear what Mr. Liam said.


"Thank you, sir. Lately I have also been quite busy with work until I forget to eat" said Brian grabbed the food box.


"I'm sorry, sir, if I sound presumptuous" said Mr. Liam made Brian pause to open the food box.


"What's up, sir?" Brian was confused by what Mr. Liam would say.


"A step is better if you can separate work from personal affairs, sir. I'm afraid that you will be unstable and will affect your work" said Mr. Liam with a heart - heart and sound polite in Brian's ears.


Brian smiled at the advice of Mr. Liam. He didn't know that Mr. Liam was worried about him that deep.


"Thank you, sir. I'll try that." replied Brian.


"If anything weighs on your heart, you can tell a story with a person you trust so as not to be too influential with the work." continued Mr. Liam.


Brian was seen pondering over the sentence spoken by Mr. Liam and sighed.


"It looks like Mr. Liam has started to understand me. There are some things that bother me. But I try not to be too influential with work." Brian assures that what happens between him and Gisel will not affect his work.


"Maybe I work here because I passed the selection of Bella's mother. But, Mister. I'm working for you. I'll make sure everything that happens to you is taken care of. In other words, I'm trying my best for you."


Brian was quite amazed by Mr. Liam's sincerity, manners and tone of speech that sounded beautiful in Brian's ears.


Brian stood up and approached Mr. Liam. Patting his shoulders and smiling on his lips.


"I'm very grateful for Mr. Liam's attention all along. I try not to disappoint Mr. Liam again. And no matter what happens to me, I try to deal with it myself" Brian said. Mr. Liam nodded and smiled looking at Brian who was being quite nice to him.


"Now, has Mr Liam eaten yet?" brian asked to end his serious conversation with Mr. Liam. Brian was so lucky to get a good-natured and considerate secretary like Mr. Liam.


Brian lets Mr. Liam pick up his food box and sit down with Brian on Brian's couch and they eat together.
