"I will kill you if you dare meddle in my business again!" pressed Sean with gritted teeth, a sign that the man was really angry now.
Asya felt her heart stabbed by needles as Sean's gaze and words penetrated her defenses. However, she was confused now.
Sean pushed Asya's body until the girl hit the wall, until finally, Sean realized what he was doing to the girl. Sean immediately released his grip on Asya's collar. Quickly, Sean looked away. Felt that Sean's words just now were really outrageous.
On the other side, Asya was silent with a blank stare, no. She thought about Sean's attitude just now. Was what she said wrong?
"Sorry," said Asya, opening her mouth again, making Sean who was cursing himself immediately turned to the girl. "I didn't mean to meddle in your business. And I didn't mean to lecture you, but—"
"Just enough," said Sean. "Don't say anything else if you don't want to deal with me," Sean continued. Next, the man passed from before Asya, with a cold gaze that the man still maintained.
Asya was about to open her mouth, but Asya held it. The girl thought she had offended Sean. But, isn't what Asya said true? Yes, that's right. The truth does hurt sometimes.
"That guy, his name is Sean, right? The girl named Lathia just called him by that name." Asya muttered, staring at Sean's footsteps.

Lathia walked quickly. The girl's face turned bright red, a sign that she was in a very emotional situation. After telling the truth of her heart to Sean, Lathia immediately returned to the party hall. Crish will definitely look for him, and as much as possible Lathia should not disappoint her lover.
Lathia stopped her footsteps which were now standing wearing black high heels that Crish had bought for her. She looked at Crish from a distance, who seemed to be speaking with his high school friends, while laughing widely, a handsome smile that really made Lathia not have the heart to erase it. Lathia smiled a little, then stepped closer to Crish.
"Crish." Lathia called softly. Crish immediately glanced at the source of the voice, followed by his friends who were also provoked by the sound of Lathia's call. Lathia with a smile that kept breaking then approached them and took Crish's arm.
"Introducing, this is Lathia. Girl who are very close to me, to be more precise, my girlfriend," said Crish while holding the girl's shoulder.
Crish's friends, almost all of whom were male, immediately exclaimed happily, and at the same time teased Crish.
"After graduating from college, on the way pass the selection for marriage!" Frans said with a small laugh, accompanied by satire from other friends who succeeded in inviting laughter.
Crish just smiled a little, being fooled by his friends' jokes. Meanwhile, Lathia accidentally caught Sean's stature from a distance, who was staring at him with a sadly gaze. However, Lathia didn't want to drown in her guilt. The girl must be firm about her destiny. She then tightened her grip on Crish's arm.
"Crish, how about we duet a song? I really want to sing with you," said Lathia asked seriously.
Crish raised his eyebrows, the man looked doubtful. Then he laughed bitterly. "I really want to sing with you. But ... Wasn't my voice discordant? It will be very embarrassing if I sing on stage," said Crish honestly while scratching the back of his neck that didn't itch. He was worried about ruining his own party. kkkk.
"Ha ha ha. That's funny, Chris. If you spoil your party, that's fine. We will not leave this party, we will actually enjoy the party even more when you sing on stage," suggested Rebecca, another of Crish's friends.
Crish who was still in doubt then looked at Lathia who turned out to be so pitiful to him. Lathia does have a good voice, but Crish? Really bad, Crish has no singing talent.
"It's true what you said. Come on, I won't ask you to sing with a high note," said Lathia again. Without waiting for Crish's approval, Lathia grabbed the man's arm, leading him onto the stage. They both received a warm welcome and applause. This enthusiasm made Crish slowly become confident, until finally, Crish and Lathia started singing, singing Ed Sheeran's song - Perfect. The song that according to Crish symbolizes Lathia tonight.
All the audience enjoyed the meal and entertainment that was displayed. Meanwhile, Sean was still standing looking at Crish and Lathia who were so happy on stage. They matched so well, making Sean's heart sink even more. Especially when remembering Lathia's words earlier. He then turned around and headed back to his room.
Sean thought he couldn't enjoy the party any longer. His heart throbbed in pain. And Sean couldn't do anything else. Moreover, in a few minutes there will be a dance party. Sean wasn't interested in dancing, because he didn't have a partner. However, when Sean started to walk, the man remembered a girl who was on the 2nd floor of the maid's room. Sean was silent for a moment.
He knew, Lathia was showing off his affection with Crish, and Sean now had the desire to do the same. Quickly, Sean turned around, stepped quickly into the maid area and looked for the girl's whereabouts.
Sean knew he was being rude. But he didn't care, because he was the son of the owner of this house, Sean could do whatever he wanted. The man's beads swirled around the room. Several closed rooms made Sean confused where the girl was. Until Sean chose to climb the stairs to the second room, who knows the girl was still there.
Sean honestly wanted to call Asya's name, but he didn't know the girl's name. Sean only remembered her face. Until when Sean arrived at the balcony, the man saw the stature of a girl sitting while leaning on a chair. Finally Sean can find Asya!
However, Asya was seen closing her eyes, with a headset plugging her ears. Sean was silent for a few seconds when he realized that Asya was asleep. Did Sean have to wake her up? No time now. He sat beside Asya, thinking about how to wake her up and invite her to attend the party. Without hesitation, Sean raised one hand, about to pat Asya's shoulder, but the girl first moved. While muttering a little, Asya leaned her head on Sean's shoulder subconsciously.
Sean immediately froze. But quickly, he stepped aside until Asya's body immediately staggered to the side because there was no footing. Asya's bead immediately opened because of it. The girl was very surprised.
Asya's brow furrowed, a sign that she was gathering her life to digest what had happened to her.
"Get up! Please!" Sean said quickly.
"Huh?!"
