"If one day love comes to me, I will make sure that I will keep my love with all my heart."
"I have experienced loss once and i don't want to experience it again. I've learned from my loss, so once I have you, I will keep you and hold you in my hand. I will never share you with others because you are only mine."

Hotel Crown Towers, Melbourne.
Finally, Samuel and Evelyn arrived at the hotel after travelling for about fourty five minutes from Melbourne's international airport. The hotel was a five star hotel which located in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. The two entered the hotel lobby side by side, and this time Evelyn kept her hands busy so that Samuel, who intended to take the assistant's hand again, couldn't hold her hand instead could only snort in annoyance.
"Give me your suitcase and let me carry it for you. You just need to hold my hand. Do you understand?" Samuel ordered and glared at Evelyn.
Would Evelyn obey? Of course not, she lifted her chin and refused what her boss ordered.
"No, thank you. I better hold my suitcase than your hand. Do you understand?" Evelyn replied defiantly.
"Tsk ... Whatever, just watch out if you get lost!" Samuel said in defeat.
He walked away leaving Evelyn, who snorted back in annoyance, feeling underestimated by him.
"Just because this is my first trip, then I'm going to get lost just walking along at the hotel lobby? Geez, he thinks I don't know what is he up to." Evelyn muttered angrily.
She felt underestimated, not to mention his coments knowing it was her first time on a plane. She did not expect that on her first time, she would have a bad experience.
"Huh, by-
"Evelyn, do you want me to leave you?"
Evelyn's grunts was forced to stop, when Samuel admonished her from where he stood, which was far from where she was currently standing. Oh hold on.... She felt that Samuel just left her, but why had he gone so far.
"No!" Evelyn cried and hurried over to Samuel, who was smiling with amusement.
Samuel checked in and choosed a president suite type room consisting of two seperate bedrooms. A Bellboy brought their suitcase, then showed them the room they were going to stay in the next few days.
Room number 519 was their room. It located on the fifth floor with the view overlooking the port of Philip Bay. The vast ocean spreads out into a beautiful view for Evelyn. She looked out the window in amazed. Meanwhile Samuel stood near the door and talked with the Bellboy.
Evelyn felt actually not comfortable with what happened today. It should have been her job as an assistant to do what Samuel did, but when Samuel said that she just needed to stand still, then she could only nod at her boss' orders.
"Tonight and tomorrow we still have free time before the meeting," Samuel said suddenly and made Evelyn surprise, who was not focus.
"Ah ... Ok!" Evelyn exclaimed understood.
"Which bedroom do you want to choose?"
"I-
"Or we can just stay in one bedroom, so it's easier to communicate?" Samuel continued casually.
"Certainly not!"
"Just kidding Lyn, how fierce!" Samuel interrupted quickly.
He chuckled when he saw his assistant's glare with her arms hugging her own body.
"Haha, very funny." Evelyn said sarcasticly.
"You're always not far from adultery things! Disgusting!" Evelyn continued.
"Ha-ha-ha ... You said disgusting now but if you already...Argh!"
Bletak!
Samuel's inconsequential words were forced to stop and replaced with a shocked screech, when irritated Evelyn threw Samuel with the sofa pillow and hit him right in the face.
"Feel that!" Evelyn cried then left Samuel to her room.
She choosed the room on the left which she believed that the room view was facing the harbor.
"Ha-ha-ha!"
Samuel's laughter could still be heard when she opened the door of her room. She deliberately closed the door firmly and left a loud thud, making Samuel laugh at her even more.
"I think this will be the most enjoyable business trip I ever had, compared to others," Samuel muttered after satisfied chuckle.
Then he also followed the assistant's footsteps, headed for the other room. He opened the door and closed it silently.
In Evelyn's room, there was a Queen sized bed with a table lamp on the right and left. Evelyn's guess was right. Her room faced the harbor, so from where she was currently standing, she could see the cruise ship and the ocean beyond.
"It's good to see Melbourne. Mom, next time when you are awake and healthy I will bring you here. I want you to feel what I feel too!" Evelyn muttered excitedly.
She tidied up her equipment, arranged several sets of clothes and her personal equipment.
When she was finished unpacking her things, it was already night. She still confused what to do tonight. She remembered what her boss said that tonight and tomorrow they had free time since the client meeting was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
Actually, she was suspicious when suddenly the President Director changed their flight schedule into one day in advance. They should have left tomorrow according to the original schedule.
"Does he want to go somewhere?" Evelyn muttered curiously.
"Or is there someone he wants to meet?" She continued.
But then she shrugged nonchalantly, thinking no further.
"Ok, don't think about it anymore. I should be grateful because I have free time to explore Melbourne for free!" Evelyn said carelessly.
She walked to the bathroom to clean her sticky body. Actually, her eyes were sleepy since she only slept for one hour during the trip. She couldn't continue her sleep on the plane because occasionally she had to respon on Samuel's insignificant chatter which made her always cursing irritably.
Meanwhile, next to her room or Samuel's room to be precisely, he was currently lying down on his bed. He smiled a little when remembering that he had free time tomorrow, which he would make the best use of it.
He deliberately advanced their departure schedule, so he could get rid his cousin for a moment from his Evelyn. While he planned a beautiful activity for tomorrow, his cell phone rang. On the screen of his cell phone showed the name Old Man, which meant his own father.
"Why is he calling? Was he not satisfied with what happened yesterday!" Samuel muttered irritably.
At first he planned to just let it go, but the longer he didn't pick it up, the more his father would get annoyed. He decided to accept the call. He made a long sigh before accepting it, because he was sure that their conversation would only make him upset then the call would not take long, that usually happened when his father called him. He pressed the green button to receive the call from his father known as Mr. Keanu Grahem.
[The engagement ceremony will be held soon.]
Instantly, Samuel frowned not understanding, when he heard the straightforward statement from his father.
"What does it mean?" Samuel asked in a cold tone.
[Like it or not, you have to follow what I want. Do you understand?]
"In your dream, old man!" Samuel replied then turned off the call.
Tut!
He knew it, if his father had called, the call would not last for a minute.
"Damn, what was that for a conversation? Without greetings and without further permission, immediately talked about the engagement. Is he crazy?" Samuel said irritated.
"Argh ... Damn, I forgot about the beautiful plans I have to arrange for tomorrow!" He continued getting annoyed.
