Natalie took off the gray blazer she was wearing. Luckily because the blazer is made of a slightly thick material, the strawberry juice stains didn't seep into the clothes Natalie was wearing on the inside of the blazer.
Natalie wet the part of the blazer that was already wet with stains and intended to remove it. Natalie had no spare clothes with her, so she could only go back to wearing a blazer with a wet front. There is no time to dry the blazer as it will take a long time.
"I still have to deliver Dimas's order." Natalie didn't want to starve Dimas. The man must have worked hard to finish all the work before leaving for his business trip the next day. So, Natalie didn't want Dimas to get sick because he was late for a meal.
Even though, Natalie was angry at Dimas's attitude of ignoring and humiliating her. After all, Dimas is still the person Natalie loves, of course Natalie cares about Dimas. After all, Natalie's form of revenge for Dimas' attitude was not by starving Dimas.
Natalie took a deep breath as she stood in front of the door to Dimas' room. Calm. Keep your face as cold as possible so that Dimas will be aware that Natalie is offended by Dimas' attitude. Make Dimas feel guilty. If the opportunity arose, Natalie would carry out her plan.
Natalie knocked on the door several times. After hearing the answer from inside, she immediately opened the door. The first sight that Natalie saw when she entered the room was Dimas's empty desk. Natalie's eyes rolled to the side and saw the figure of Dimas sitting on the sofa with folded arms.
"Oh, put it here, secretary Natalie." Dimas pointed to the table in front of him.
Natalie's lips twitched slightly when she heard Dimas call her 'Secretary Natalie'. Ah, Natalie almost forgot that they were still in the office. Not to mention that it's not home time, so she and Dimas are still connected with superiors and subordinates.
Thinking about the relationship, Natalie didn't really like it. This is because she limits herself in expressing her feelings or her closeness to Dimas.
Natalie approached Dimas and placed a crackle containing four packs of bread with two flavors. Natalie's hand took out two packets of strawberry flavored bread, and then she came back with the crackle because there was still bread that she would eat later. Coffee was also placed on the table, and Natalie's hand was still holding her avocado juice.
Dimas took a pack of bread and looked at it. "Strawberry flavor? How did Zidan know…"
"I bought it again because Zidane bought the chocolate flavor." Natalie cut Dimas' words still with a cold face that she wore. Natalie's irises glared at Dimas who looked surprised.
Dimas's eyes widened. A blush began to appear on his cheeks. Dimas cleared his throat to control his happy expression because Natalie knew his favorite taste. Dimas was a little embarrassed in front of Natalie.
"How did you know…"
"I was told by other employees about things Mr. Dimas likes." Natalie cut Dimas' words again. This made Dimas feel uncomfortable.
Dimas who was initially carried away because Natalie knew what he liked, was immediately slapped by Natalie's words. Dimas laughed awkwardly. Huh, how could he confidently think that Natalie knew what he liked by finding out about him?!
Dimas smiled wryly with disappointment in his heart. "O-oh, I see. Ha-ha-ha, of course I do. What was I thinking?"
Natalie felt satisfied playing with Dimas' feelings. It made Dimas feel that Natalie knew about him and instantly dropped Dimas' confidence. "Hah, now you know, the feeling I feel! You made me fly and not long after that, I fell that was already enjoying the pleasant sensation of flying."
Of course, Natalie said all that in her heart. She couldn't say everything she felt to Dimas. This is not the right time.
"Then I'll excuse myself." Natalie turned to leave Dimas' room.
"Wait!" Dimas reflexively shouted because he wanted to stop Natalie.
Natalie stopped in her tracks. A smirk appeared on her face. She had expected this, so turned around with a movement she had deliberately slowed down. "Hm, you pretended that you weren't interested in me. However, you actually want me? Dimas, Dimas. You're a tsundere man. But, I like him."
Dimas opened his mouth to say something. However, his eyes caught a glimpse of Natalie's wet gray blazer that seemed to be on purpose. Dimas immediately stood up and rushed over to Natalie.
"What happened to your blazer? How did it get drenched like this?!" Dimas stare, demanding Natalie to explain what happened.
Natalie looked down at her gray blazer for a moment, then raised her head again. Natalie looked away from Dimas. "Nothing happened, sir. I just accidentally got it wet."
Dimas's eyebrows pointed sharply. Dimas is not a fool because he can't tell which clothes are wet by accident or on purpose. Even if it was intentional, there must be a reason why it had to wet the clothes.
Dimas gripped Natalie's shoulders tightly. Dimas's eyes glared at Natalie, trying to intimidate Natalie into obeying to tell Dimas the truth. Dimas hissed angrily. "Tell me the truth! Is someone bothering you?!"
Natalie's pupils moved to and fro as if feeling uneasy. Natalie deliberately made herself look as if she was undecided about whether to tell Dimas the truth. Natalie laughed in her heart. "Yes! Keep finding out about me, Dimas! Show me that my struggle is not in vain!"
Dimas's jaw tightened when he saw Natalie, who didn't answer his question. Dimas had to swallow his anger back because he didn't want to scare Natalie. Then, he took a deep breath to temper his emotions.
Dimas' grip on Natalie's shoulders loosened slightly. "Okay, I'm not forcing you to tell the truth. But, can you stay here until recess is over?"
Dimas looked pleadingly at Natalie. He was a little wary of Natalie refusing his request. Dimas's eyes immediately lit up when Natalie nodded her head.
"Fine, I'll be here until recess is over."
Dimas pulled his hand from Natalie's shoulder and stepped away from Natalie, giving Natalie a way to sit down. Natalie walked to the sofa and sat beside the place where Dimas had been sitting before.
Dimas followed Natalie, he sat beside Natalie nervously. Dimas reached out to take a cup of coffee and took a sip of the coffee, hoping at least to calm his racing heart.
Dimas suddenly felt afraid if Natalie heard his heart pounding loudly. Dimas put the glass back on the table, trying not to make a sound.
Dimas' hands turned to take bread because his stomach was already hungry. Dimas glanced at Natalie and saw that Natalie was sipping avocado juice. Dimas breathed a sigh of relief seeing Natalie who didn't hold back even in front of him.
"Sir, isn't this strange?"
The movement of Dimas' hand that was about to bite the bread suddenly stopped. Dimas put the bread back into the package. Dimas tilted his body to face Natalie.
"Strange? What do you think is strange?" Dimas suddenly felt bad. He felt that the topic Natalie was going to bring up was a little heavy.
Natalie opened her mouth, she was going to say a few things to find out what the next steps Dimas would take regarding their relationship. "Sorry, Dimas. I will say things that offend you a little."
Natalie looked right into Dimas' eyes. A sad smile suddenly appeared on her face. "Isn't our relationship very strange, Dimas? I kissed you and you didn't refuse. I approached you, and you didn't refuse or avoid me. You also asked me to call each other's names during office hours. But, after…"
Natalie lowered her head sadly. Her hands that were on her thighs were tightly clenched. "You're ignoring me instead. Am I the only one who takes things seriously, but you don't?"
Dimas was silent when he heard Natalie's words. From Natalie's words, it was clear that Natalie was after him. How could Dimas not be aware of all that?!
Dimas stammered. "I-I…"
"You must know that already, don't you? But, you seem to be playing games with me and enjoying everything I do. You must think I'm a shameless idiot." Natalie smiled sadly, her hands raised to cover her face.
Natalie chuckled sadly. "Well, just like those who think of me as a shameless person."
Dimas shook his head quickly. No! Dimas swears he was completely unaware that Natalie had been chasing him all along and had feelings for him! Dimas doesn't know Natalie's feelings. If he finds out…, what should he do?
Dimas would definitely treat Natalie better if he also liked Natalie the same way. However, if Dimas doesn't like her, then he will reject Natalie in the right way and not give her false hope.
However, because Natalie was covering her face, she didn't see the panic on Dimas's face. Actually, Natalie saw all the expressions on Dimas's face from between her fingers, but from Dimas's view, he thought Natalie didn't see all the movements he was making.
Natalie sighed in exasperation. "Hah, looks like I've become a pitiful person."
Natalie's breathing was heavy, she made herself look as if she was crying. What is the purpose? Of course, it made Dimas realize that Natalie was after him. Come to think of it, Natalie was better off just stating her intentions openly. But of course, Natalie will show her feelings vaguely. She had not been able to show Dimas everything before confirming that the man was already entangled in her.
Dimas feels guilty towards Natalie. It seemed that his attitude this morning had saddened Natalie. Dimas didn't mean to make Natalie think that Dimas was an asshole who enjoyed the love of the women who approached him. At that time, Dimas was worried about Natalie and Dave's relationship, so the annoyance he felt was unconsciously vented on Natalie.
Thinking of his outrageous actions, Dimas heaved a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry, Nata. I didn't mean to make you look pathetic. Oh, you're not pathetic at all! I was the one who was stupid for not being firm."
Natalie grinned widely from behind the palms covering her face. The plan worked. The fish had caught the hook, and Natalie was just pulling it to make the fish her own.
Natalie looked up and pushed her palms away from her face. Natalie put on a pitiful face and looked abused. "Is that true?"
Dimas's eyes widened when he saw Natalie, who actually looked beautiful with a pitiful look. Dimas also just realized that Natalie's hairstyle has changed. Natalie looks even more beautiful with the new hair. Dimas' hands felt anxious to touch Natalie's hair, which seemed soft.
He blinked a few times to wake himself up. This is not the time to admire Natalie's undeniable beauty. Now, Dimas must take big steps for his relationship with Natalie.
Dimas ventured to hold Natalie's hand. Natalie was a little surprised because she did not expect that Dimas would take the initiative to make physical contact.
"Nata, I don't reject everything you do to me, not because I'm playing with you. I don't shy away when you approach me, not because I enjoy everything and consider you a shameless person. I did all that because I love everything you do. Furthermore, I love when you approach me. Likewise, I love when we kiss each other. Not only that, but I love all things that have to do with you. So don't consider me to be an asshole who only plays with your feelings."
