The night sky was so quiet, when Arabella was gazing at the stars while sipping the wine in her hand. A knock on the door made her look, there was Steve who came in with a glass of warm milk and snacks.
Ara always drinks warm milk before going to bed, she does all that so she can sleep soundly and wake up refreshed. If some people never eat an evening snack, it's different with Arabella.
She loves to eat pudding or chocolate cake, anything chocolate she will eat at night. Because all day working and taking care of many problems, of course it makes the brain and body tired, not playing. That's why every night she always pampers her body before going to bed, this is done so that her body can be calmer and not easily hurt.
Yes.. although for some people eating sweet food at night is a mess. But not for Arabella, she feels eating sweet at night is a blessing.
"Thanks Steve, you can go right away." Ara said to Steve, because at night too. Ara prefers to be alone.
"No Miss, your brother said that I should accompany you while finishing this sweet treat. So I will sit in front of you and listen to everything you have to say." Steve actually immediately took a chair and sat in front of Ara.
Ara didn't understand why Steve was so obedient to her brother's words, he had just been told to stay away from Ara. but now they are being asked to come closer.
"Well then, have a good seat. I don't want to be disturbed at this time of night." Ara said she didn't care, Ara ate a chocolate cake with cheese in it. It's too many calories that must be received by the body if you eat this much sweet food.
But Ara doesn't care for her. Life is to be enjoyed, not having to do many things that are forbidden.
"You're used to eating that much? Too much sweet, I didn't expect That your well-groomed and perfect body, actually There's a lot of sugar." Steve said casually, whether he was mocking or just curious.
"I only give happiness to myself every night like this, When all day I am working and tired. Then I have to be someone else every time, when it's night and I'm alone. I can be myself and forget all problems. Besides, tomorrow morning when I wake up. I'll burn a lot of calories, eat healthy food, then check my health. It's always been like that, you won't be surprised by what people from circles like me or my brother are doing." Ara said as casually as possible, she cut another piece of cake and chewed slowly. then start drinking chocolate milk in one motion.
"I often see people from your circle working hard until the night, but they still take care of their health even at night. They will only eat fruit and drink herbal drinks. Yes.. so I've only seen people like you, but I don't blame either. You can give yourself happiness, because you are yours. No one can control it." Steve's words were enough to make Ara look up and smile a little.
For the first time anyone agrees with Ara's thoughts. Even her brother and both of Ara's parents always scold Ara, if she eats sweet food at night.
Because they don't want Ara to get blood sugar or obesity.
Ara sometimes likes to be confused by herself, even though every morning Ara's health is always stable and fine. But her parents are always noisy.
That's why Ara chooses to live in an apartment and live freely without anyone bothering her.
"I'm glad to hear what you have to say." Ara said slowly.
"About those simple words? I'm really not a person who likes to interfere, I said this too because of work. Your brother said that every night you will be alone on the balcony of your room and look up at the sky, sometimes you will even cry alone.
He doesn't want to see you. like that again, he's worried about you. That's why now I'm tasked with keeping you happy and paying attention to what you're doing. it's all just about work, don't get me wrong." Steve also ate the cake on the table, the movement was very simple but seemed elegant.
Ara thought about several things, from the way she spoke, her body shape, the way she eats, the way she walked, the well-groomed skin, and a very handsome face. Is Steve really just an employee at a company owned by the Ara family? Not sure about that, Ara feels that Steve is the owner here. Because Steve is too perfect. He is classy and unbelievably amazing.
Ara has often met many men and Ara knows very well which men are rich and which are pretending to be rich. And Steve? He is a man who looks rich.
"Have you worked at this company for a long time?" Ara asked, only small talk to explore all the questions in Ara's brain.
"Not bad. A few months or years? I don't know, I forget how long I've been here. Why? Have you never seen me in the ranks of the company's top brass?" Steve asked back, he looked into Ara's eyes with a small smile.
And Ara was quite goosebumps to see that smile, Ara's body hairs swelled violently and her blood rippled. like there was something strange when the smile and those eyes stared fixedly.
"I don't really care who the officials, shareholders, or others are. That's the business of my brother and Daddy. I just work and work to keep myself busy. Actually I'm not allowed to work like this, my family just wants me to live with friends and always on vacation. But that's too weird for me, too many fake friends. That's why I'm too lazy to make friends." Ara said honestly, Steve who heard that nodded his head slowly.
"Everyone in this world has never been sincere, everyone needs a reason. Whether the reason is bad or good. The point is, no one is really sincere in life. Neither are you, nor am I. We have our own reasons." Steve stroked a cigarette from his jacket pocket.
Ara just watched when the cigarette was turned on, Ara never wanted to reprimand other people or interfere. So she let it go as Steve smoked in front of her. Even Ara noticed Steve's hand movements earlier.
The veins that looked hard on his hands made Ara's eyes adored beautifully. Indeed, his jacket was rolled up to his elbows, that's why Ara could see Steve's hand muscles.
"You always train hard huh? Your body is too perfect for me." Ara was telling the truth again, and Steve just laughed softly as he puffed the cigarette smoke into the ceiling.
