"What?! Greece?? After you ran away that time, now you want to go to Greece?? I won't let you vacation there until you apologize to Kyung Joon." Ronald spoke in a firm tone.
"Never, forever I will not apologize to Kyung Joon because I am innocent. Bertha, come with me to tidy up all my clothes in the room," said Luci indifferently, quickly pulling Bertha's hand.
Everyone in the living room immediately glared at Luci, since when did she become like that? Dared to go against her father's orders and be rude to Kyung Joon.
However, Lucia was no longer a child now.She had the right to make her own choices, both her future and her life partner. Bertha was speechless, unable to say anything, she was forced to follow Luci's request even though she felt bad for Kyung Joon's family as well.
And, the two beauties rushed into Lucia's room to escape their anger and discuss the next plan.
"Tha, please help me tidy up all the clothes and then we will go to the nearest hotel right now." Lucia asked as she opened the wardrobe.
"Don't go to the hotel, it's better for you to stay at my house for a while. It seems, I also have to resign from the office before I am fired by that man," Bertha replied softly.
Then Lucia immediately turned towards Bertha and looked at her with a guilty look. "Sorry, I troubled you with all my troubles with Mr. Kyung Joon."
"Never mind, this isn't your fault, if it weren't for Fela and Trina urging you to accept Kyung Joon's love, maybe now we wouldn't have this problem. Trina, the gossiper and hobbyist, sets out to match other people, but she doesn't have a boyfriend herself. " Bertha grumbled, then took Lucia's hand.
"You don't need to think about Trina, just let her be. Maybe she likes Mr. Kyung Joon and wants to have him, but unfortunately Mr. Kyung Joon doesn't have the slightest feeling for Trina," added Lucia, she sat beside Bertha.
"Ha, ha ... where did you get that thought, Lus? Don't just guess, what if your guess about them is wrong?" asked Bertha, smiling faintly.
"I don't just guess, all this time I've seen a strange behavior in Trina. Her attitude is very different and even her appearance has changed," explained Lucia, reassuring her friend.
"Yeah, that's right ... she seems to be prettier now. I just realized that, how can Kyung Joon like a woman like her. Her performance in the office is just bad, she's not better than Fela, basically you're the smartest at PT. Nalendra Textile." Bertha praised Lucia while patting her on the shoulder.
"You don't talk like that, you are also smart, beautiful, and have quite a broad insight as an Export Marketing Staff. Isn't that right? If you resign just because of this problem, I think it is the wrong decision." Lucia advised Bertha.
"But, Aunt Vanya and your dad blamed me for everything that happened. Kyung Joon is like that too, right? I'm lazy to deal with that man, too lazy to meet Fela and Trina, I'd better resign tomorrow," said Bertha.
"All decisions are in your hands, whether you want to resign or not is up to you. But, are you sure and steady with your decision earlier? I really feel bad for you," replied Luci, she lowered her head.
"Never mind, we don't have to discuss this matter anymore. Now let's talk about our next plan, when do you think you will submit your resignation letter to Mrs. Anne, Mrs. Ayen and him?" Bertha asked, making sure.
"This afternoon maybe, for sure I have to quickly get out of the house for a while. I want to avoid their anger as well as calm my mind," replied Lucia.
"Okay, then I will help you tidy up all your clothes and belongings now. I make sure that no one will interfere with your life, when you stay at my house," explained Bertha, smiling broadly.
"Thanks for all your concern, Tha. You are my best friend forever," Lucia returned Bertha's smile.
"Don't hesitate to me, Lus. We are friends, I should have helped you from Fela, Trina, Mr. Kyung Joon and your parents. It's not that I want to interfere in your family affairs, but they never know what you want and how you feel all this time," Bertha's words sounded so sincere.
"Tha, I'm the youngest child, so as the youngest child, they always pressure me and hope that I will get married soon like my other brothers and sisters. They are also matched and always obey," added Lucia, pouting.
"Arranged Marriage doesn't always make a person's life happy, right? Especially if the man has only known you for a few years. Honestly, I actually didn't like him from the start," said Bertha , frankly.
"I also shouldn't succumb to his sweet seduction. He is the boss, I don't deserve to be married to the boss. Hmm ... i think my yesterday's dream was true," Lucia seemed to be thinking about something.
"Which dream, Lus? I forgot," Bertha looked at her curiously.
"You forgot, did you? That dream, when I was screaming at the hotel when you came to see me with food and some clothes," answered Luci.
"Dream of being chased by Kyung Joon?" Bertha asked again
"That's right, until now I was quite disturbed by that dream. A very annoying dream," Luci grumbled.
"Forget about your dreams, there's no point in dreaming about Kyung Joon at all. Hopefully, in Greece later we can meet our soul mate, Lus.
"Hopefully ... by the way, who was the guy we met at the airport? Why did he follow us to the mall?" asked Lucia curiously.
"Oh, it is that guy. He is a nobody, really."
"Really?? It looks like you have already met him. Come on, just admit that he's actually one of your close friends," said Luci, elbowing Bertha's right arm.
"No, Lus. He is nobody and not a close friend of mine, he said it was like he knew your face, he said familiar," explained Bertha.
"Oh, that guy thinks he knows me?? He says my face is familiar? There is no way he knows me, am I an artist or what??" Lucia was annoyed by Arya.
"But the guy is handsome, cool, and friendly. He is the ideal type of guy," Bertha smiled as she remembered her meeting with Arya at the mall earlier.
"Still to me he is a stalker, I don't like being followed by him, " Lucia said in an annoyed tone.
After having a conversation in Luci's room, Bertha immediately changed the topic, and helped Luci to tidy up the clothes, and some things needed while staying at Bertha's house later.
