" What's up Ms. Laurent ? " ask Elin when they've been in her boss's den, "this" Laurent said as he gave the book a sheet so thick, "learn well" he said.

Elin stared intently at the cover of the book "A Design is The Beginning of Everything" which was still in Laurent's hands , " this book is the blend of almost all the world famous Designer and this is probably for you too " said Laurent , Elin still does not speak and stare for so long at the book that he has been craving for , " Take " said Laurent again.

" Don't joke Miss Laurent, this book is very valuable and only certain people will have it, I don't deserve it yet..."

" Thank you before I cancel my intention" said Laurent slightly laughing, "Thank you Ms. Laurent " said Elin who unconsciously hugged the woman's body in front of him 'Your Welcome Miss " jawan Laurent returned his embrace.

" I feel really grateful to meet you "he said again with the tip of his eyes sparkling with crystal grains ready to fall on his face, "why are you crying Miss ? " asked Laurent puzzled, "I'm not crying, these are just tears of joy for having met such a nice person in this modern city " she said smiling with the tear she just wiped on her smooth cheek, "ceh, you scared me miss , don't do it again or I'll get in trouble later " said Laurent stroking gently Elin's arm, "again thanks, this is a very valuable gift and I will give anything to reply to this "he said again , " just give your success later" said Laurent smiling.

" Why are you so good to me "

" Because you're such a good woman" Laurent replied with a look so confidently, "we just met" Elin said with a slight laugh.

" Yes, you're right, but I have a pretty good sense of knowing someone even in just one meeting" Laurent laughed, "I'm sorry, ' she said , are you a descendant of Baba Vanga (a world-famous fortune teller) ? "

" Maybe a little bit of a drip "said Laurent jokingly, making the room not too big it sounded so noisy with laughter by two women, "pleased to meet you Ms.laurent " elin said, once again hugging the body of the woman who deserves to be called by her brother and preparing to leave her study.

" May we be good working partners "reply Laurent with a smile so warm.

" i just came to see how you are" explained Eza.

" As you can see the situation is very good" said Hannah directly, making Mike slightly raised his eyes.

" Yes, I'd better go home " said Eza who understood the meaning of Hannah's words, "a minute Eza" said Mike preventing and walked closer to the woman ,

" Thank you for taking care of me yesterday" Mike said, extending his hand ,

" You make me like everyone else "said Eza but still welcome Mike 's hand ,

" give my regards to aunt Kim "he said again and the woman nodded her head with an awkward smile and rolled her eyes briefly at Hannah.

" Whether I go first, you can still call me if you need something" he said and immediately walked to door , Mike was still silent staring at the back of Eza who left , there was such an uncomfortable feeling of throwing the woman away when she had been so good at taking care of her all day before Hannah came to her apartment, "You can go after her Mike " hannah said, "what do you mean baby, I'm just grateful that she's been so good at taking care of me" Mike explained, "you should have made her your lover instead of me "

" Don't talk silly "says Mike coming towards Hannah, "go away, really I'm fine, she's a good girl " he said again but with eyes staring pushy at Mike, "Ceh "his hiss Mike held his lips to laugh, making Hannah further sharpen her gaze , " you told me to leave but your gaze was so unwilling " Mike said.

" Don't go, you've been sent "

" Down your prestige, can you just prevent me once, I so want to feel it instead of telling me to leave like before, at least that's what differentiates my position today and yesterday" said Mike , makes Hannah speechless.

" I'm sorry "said Hannah who unconsciously spoke from her lips, "let's eat "take Mike and pull Hannah's hand towards the dinner table to continue their plan before Eza comes.

" Don't think about it, I'm just kidding " Mike said smiling as he watched Hannah still fall silent and stared at her, "no, you said it from Mike's heart, I'm sorry " hannah said, feeling so guilty after hearing the words that came out of the man's mouth, "you think too much about it" Mike smiled, "can you not give up once ? "

" I'm used to it, especially for our relationship" Mike said, leaving Hannah speechless, "don't do it again, I'm not Hannah "

" but my love is still the same as it used to be and the way I love you won't change, what changes here is you, so you yourself know how you should behave for our relationship right now " obviously the relentless Mike made Hannah speechless.

Elin is in a taxi that will take her to her place of residence , he leaned his tired body on the side of the car seat while staring out the window looking at the almost dark sky and roadside filled by people who were passing by.

Elin was so upset waiting for a phone call that was connected to Daniel but not yet answered ', " sir can we turn the direction to the Ritz Carlton apartment " he said to the taxi driver who did not refuse and immediately turned his direction to the place said by Elin.

" Thank you sir" said Elin after the taxi car that brought her had arrived at the most luxurious apartment building in the country of America, even ranked third with the price of the most expensive building in the world , and unfortunately this woman does not care about the price of her lover's residence, which she knows the residence is indeed very good with a view of Manhattan and the sea port city of New York, the rest she does not care.

Elin stepped hesitantly as she entered the large door of the apartment lobby, "Can anyone help Miss ? " greet the apartment waiter who is standing guard at the side of the door, "I am waiting for someone "he said hesitantly.

" Is he the owner of one of the residences in this building ? "

" Yes, if it's not wrong where he lives in the top building "obviously Elin made the doorkeeper's eyes slightly enlarged, "wait a minute here Miss " he said with a frown and walked towards the reception desk.

Daniel had just got out of the car that drove him home, he was so overwhelmed with a body tired of his work and a mind that never went away from the woman who filled his whole heart , today, he seems to be ignoring his wife.

" I'm sorry your lady can come back later" said someone who spoke to whom but was heard in Daniel's ear walking towards the lobby door .

" can't I wait here ? "

" You can come back later" said the doorman so firmly.

" Give me 15 minutes sir, after that I will go " said Elin a little pleading, "sorry Miss here is not a stop " said the guard without feeling sorry for the woman before him, he was already a little careless facing the woman who was alternately begging to meet Daniel Remkez , the prince of New York who had a residence at the end of the building where he worked and he thought so to the woman who is now in front of him.

" Miss please go "he said a little yelling and making Daniel's eyes look at the voice, "I'm sorry to interrupt your time" said Elin weakly and twisted her body.

Daniel's eyes widened when he found the woman in his mind being pushed out by the apartment clerk, "What are you doing to my lover" cried Daniel who walked so fast.

Bukk "the sound of a punch that makes Elin have to turn his body back towards the lobby door.

" Daniel "cried Elin with big eyes and ran so fast, "Daniel stop" he said, clutching the big body of his lover, "I asked what did you do to my lover ? " scream again.

" Sorry sir, I really don't know if this lady is your lover, I guess she is." she said stalled because Daniel again wanted to throw a punch at her , " Daniel I beg you to stop, I'm fine, he's not wrong Daniel " said Elin pleading with the hugging and trying to pull the big body a little away , " Sir please forgive my employee " said a man who had just arrived in his formal attire.

" You say sorry, you think who you are huh, dare to treat my lover like trash "cries Daniel with indignation that can not be muffled, "Daniel is not like that , the father was not wrong, what he did as a security guard was right ", Elin continued trying to unravel the emotions of his lover.

" No, I will not forgive easily to the man who mistreated my lover" Daniel said without turning his body and letting Elin embrace him so tightly .

" I'm sorry, sir, I really didn't mean it that way, I just thought that your lover was one of those women who always came to beg to meet you " obviously the guard rested in the presence of Daniel, "excuse our negligence Mr "add the man who works as an apartment manager.

" Daniel please "please Elin so deeply, "I'm really fine "he continued by leaning his head against the man's back.

The blood that was about to boil became a little cold, "sort him, I don't want to see him again "snaps Daniel but with a slightly muffling anger, "no no dear , don't do it " said Elin again pleading and taking off her arms and facing Daniel.

" I'm sorry Miss, I really didn't mean to expel you, I think... "

" It's okay, sir, " replied Elin smiling and looking back at Daniel.

" If you really love me, please don't do that, this father is so innocent, I am.. " elin said that hanging because Daniel had suddenly moved and left him without saying a word, "get up sir" said Elin who helped the guard to stand up again , " don't worry nothing will happen to your work, and forgive the misdeeds..."

" It's okay miss , I do deserve it , again forgive me "cut the guard , "stop feeling guilty , I've forgiven you" said Elin smiling , " sorry excuse me "he said, wanting to move on, "Thank you miss " said the guard with remorse for his actions and Elin nodded and walked so quickly to catch up with her lover who left in anger.
