"It's because of you and Farley support. If not, I wouldn't be here right now" she replied with immeasurable gratitude. Again, she revealed inwardly 'this is the best team she's ever had' tears welled up at the corners of her half-closed eyes.
"No dear... It's because of you already capable and understand on this field." Sentia said to her in a soft voice while stroking her cheeks which had been reddened ever since she exclaimed that she was a gem.
"Ah... yeah Farley, Zorion said we need to discuss this project further with him" Leigh conveys the message that have said by him.
"Okay just give the result of the design concept that you have made, I will finalize it later. Thank you for your hard work!" he remarked to her and tap on her shoulder couple times.
"Sure, do it right away" she replied curtly and then walk to her desk and sat there. Then she realizes the man beside her, stare at her without blink his eyes. Is he by any change sleep while his eyes opened? She had goosebump to think that. just being conscious of it gives her a headache, especially if he's not conscious, ow... hope that never gonna happened.
"What?" she asked with a question mark look.
"I am just amazed by you, you are wonderful. I think, I wanna kidnaped you for dinner tonight" he remarked with wide smile at her, waiting for her reply. But unfortunately, Sentia chimed in.
"Hey... Hey... what you guys planning of without us?" she glares at Vhaken with dagger gaze sharply "That is not good of you leave me this time, I will give you a hard time if you do that" she warned them, because she still mads at them to not asked her join last night.
"Hahaa you're so mean Sentia" Vhaken retort to her with boyish smile while his right-hand scratches his back head, become awkward.
"Hmm don't forget us too" both Caely and Revarn said in unison when they walk in.
Leigh kept her word, handing over the concept design she was working on. And by the time she handed it over, it was already 6pm. Office hours have ended from an hour ago. She stretched her body, which was felt stiff. She stood up to go to the toilet. Her habit is when she want to come home or go anywhere from office, just in case she needs to go to the toilet on the way, if she doesn't go to the toilet now before going out.
After she finished and walked towards her desk. Sentia was already there, neatly complete with a coat and bag that she was holding on her left hand with grace and elegance. Like a woman with a high profile.
"Are you guys still not moving, is it because of me you are not comfortable?" she said while examining the faces of each of the first teams that had ever existed in this company. Especially Vhaken, with a deadly smile she smiled at him the moment their eyes met.
"Why you're looking at me like that? I am not the only one here to go and beside Leigh hasn't answered my offer" he said awkwardly, his voice almost whining if only he was an elementary school kid with the frown on his face.
Sentia took a deep breath, this team really made her nerves tense up, she sighed loudly, irritated. At that moment, Leigh had just returned from the toilet. Without waiting she immediately launched her attack. "Hey Leigh, so, how about the celebration?" she asked impatiently, her face almost losing its femininity. Makes her look like a debt collector on the street.
Leigh smiled slightly at her attitude. This is the other side she sees in Sentia. "Well, I don't mind with that, is up to the other" she shrugged as she walked over to her desk, grabbing her coat for her to put on.
"Now Farley, come on. Why so hard to go out with you guys. You guys are annoying" she stared intently at Farley who had been sitting quietly listening to their conversation in an indifferent manner.
He was still digesting Sentia's words, when Sentia gave up, turned around and was about to leave "Okay.. okay.. we go" he replied, laughing at Sentia's desperation. Her attitude already looks childish, sulking to want to walk away. "Guys... Move" with those two words, all teams immediately moved.
"Yeay.... we are having fun again, Leigh don't you dare to get drunk again" he called out to Leigh, threatening her with a serious, deadly look. But it was just an act, in his heart he wished she was drunk again, so that he could drive her home and stay at her house again. The house really feels comfortable and warm. Warm his heart.
They all walked out together, the composition of the ride in the vehicle was the same as yesterday, the difference was that today added Sentia, who clearly was going to ride in Farley's car to the restaurant.
"Now where we are going?" Caely asked while walking out the office lobby and wave her hand with small smile to the girl that sat on the receptionist table.
"Since Sentia so eager to come, why don't she is deciding the place?" Vhaken suggested with a mischievous look on his face.
"Hmm Wait..." she stands on the sidewalk in front of the office, thinking. Her eyes roll from left to right then back again to left. "How About Forest Garden"
"Hmm Sound good, let's go then" Farley chimed curtly, don't want to delay time any longer. And everyone walks to their own respective car with their companies.
When they arrived at the place and want to sit on the table that the waiter guides them to. They meet someone they didn't expect to meet.
"Leigh, it's nice to meet you again twice in a day" he exclaimed on the unexpected meeting. And his eyes flashed dark for a moment when their eyes met.
"Deacon, what a coincidence!" Farley exclaimed and walked fast to his table, he reached out his hand for a handshake. "And who they are, I don't think they are your business partner?" he asked after looking around at the people at his table. Examining one by one with keen and sharp eyes, not leaving even the smallest details.
"Ah... they are my friends" Deacon answered Farley's question directly, which seemed to be assessing and researching his friends. He really didn't like the way Farley looked at his people. With a friendly but cynical look.
"Nice to meet you all" he greeted everyone sweetly, with the familiar style he always showed whenever he spoke with business associates.
On the other hand, Sentia smelled the unfriendly air around the people in front of them, she stood next to Farley, researching the situation, and putting herself on alert. She knew Deacon but not the others. Judging from their appearance. They are not ordinary people but trained people, it can be seen from the way they stare, their movements. Hmm, it looks like bad things are going to happen here. Now she regrets suggesting this place. But wait, she felt this was not a coincidence but planned, but how would they know, if they would come here? Let's see what will happen next.
While the others just stood at the back, watching the conversation between the two high-ranking businessmen, in silence. And Leigh still in place, she stood on the other side of Farley.
