"Oh Yeah" she exclaims loudly, Leigh's head snapped to Sentia, excited. At least she wasn't alone there, there were still a person she knew, and she could discuss with the training series later.
"Yup, why you so excited when Vhaken comes with you. You know, Farley will be there also, right" Sentia knew very well how close Leigh was to him, although sometimes Leigh felt awkward discussing work with him when Caely was around. Because she would occasionally glance at her with narrowed eyes, sending a warning signal to her. Sentia only feels sorry for her, being in the midst of unrequited love.
"Why not, at least I have someone I can talk to when I am in trouble with the training" she answered loudly, her face full of happiness. Of course, the only person she could talk to was Vhaken, as for Farley, she didn't think she could steal a talk with him. Because Farley himself was the Jury there. She pouted at Sentia saying about Farley.
Then why didn't Vhaken tell her this. Was he on purpose, a surprise maybe? That bastard, how could he keep something like this from her. Meanwhile, she told him mostly about work, although some were unrelated to him. She bit her teeth, irritated.
"Leigh the flight on this evening, we better get going now, or we will late for the flight" Vhaken shouted at her, as he had just returned from a meeting room with a client.
Leigh's head jerked looking straight at him, her eyes sharp, sharp as a dagger ready to launch an attack if it really was an attack in battle.
On the other hand, she just realized she did something that made the certain someone across the table turn red, of course because she would be going alone, alone with Vhaken, and that made Caely hold back her jealousy. She just sat there with her face hidden under her arms on the table. Revarn poked her with his index finger on her shoulder, then spoke to her. For a moment she only heard murmurs from his mouth. After that, Caely's body moved and rose from her sitting, and the two of them walk away and disappeared from there at the end of the corridor. It seemed Revarn was taking her to the park.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Vhaken's voice that sounded close, too close to her ears. "Leigh, honey..."
And it made her gasp, startled. "Don't do that" she growls, sometimes she feels uncomfortable with being too close to him. Sometimes he even seemed to tease her too much, just to get her attention and that made her even more uncomfortable with Caely. The guilt that she couldn't do anything about, if the annoying man, who was now standing next to her didn't even see or feel Caely's attention.
And each time she could only exhale, irritated while sending a deadly dagger look at him. Instead, she only got the answer of a boyish laugh from this shameless man.
"You don't pay me attention, we are being late" he replied with the same growl but in a joking tone. Which made Leigh even more irritated.
"Go now Leigh" Sentia chimed in, with satisfied smile on her face.
Leigh did not comment again. She cleaned up the data on her table and other equipment. Within seconds her table was neat and clean. "What about Farley?" she asked because he wasn't looking in his chair.
"Ow don't worry, you will meet him at the airport" Sentia answered her question. She was still standing at her nearby table, watching her getting ready to leave. She was too excited, seeing Leigh, the gem in her heart was about to go to headquarters, sharpening the gem to perfection until it sparkled. She had liked her ever since she read her profile while being recruited. During these three months, they often spend time, exchanging ideas. To her, Leigh was already considered her sister.
"Got that" she replied as she grabs her bag and coat. Then she glanced at Vhaken, who was ready and standing there waiting for her. Without feeling guilty she said, "Shall we go?" like she was the one waiting for him. Sneaky, isn't it? Yes, she always or sometimes both prank each other. In the end they burst out laughing at their own stupidity.
When they arrived at the front door of the office, a taxi was already there. Looked his passenger come out the door. The taxi driver got out of the car, opened the trunk to load their luggage inside. After that they all got into the taxi.
Leigh rolled down the glass window beside her in the back seat. waved her hand to Sentia when the taxi had started to drive away, she said "Wish me luck" she shouted sending a kiss on her lips to which she replied 'You are a gem' her voice is no longer audible, so she only reads Sentia's lip movements from a distance, the taxi drove to the highway. Until her office disappeared around the corner.
She closed the glass window, pensive in the corner of the backseat, looking out the window. She had forgotten that someone sitting next to her was now looking at her, amused. She got too carried away. With the twenty years of experience she had gained, it wasn't the first time, it should be normal for her to take part in this kind of training.
But in her heart, there was anxiety, anxiety that she didn't deserve to be there. She told Sentia about her feeling, and she replied, you deserve it because you managed to win a project that even Farley couldn't win. So far, the construction of the project has gone smoothly, even stealing the attention of other companies. And one by one they came to the office just to offer projects. Of course, they will select the projects they accept carefully. They can judge which projects will be successful in the market or not. For this reason, the three teams have become very busy handling several projects and they even plan to add another team, all thanks to Leigh.
Sentia kept reassuring her that she had nothing to fear. All who take part in the training cannot arbitrarily join if they are not declared eligible to participate. Only people who are fully dedicated and have bright ideas in the field of architectural design will participate. She should be proud of herself, and she and part of her team, fully supporting her.
Farley saw that she was too tense, for that he asked Sentia to ask Vhaken join the training, so that she could relax and focus on training later. Whereas in front of Leigh he looked indifferent as if he didn't care about her. Though he saw everything clearly out of the corner of his eye. He knew when she was tense, when she laughed, when she relaxed, even when she fell asleep on her desk exhausted. At that time, he just smiled and shook his head.
In Leigh, Farley saw the combination of his team attitude in her. Revarn's serious, focused, silent demeanor. Caely's cunning, caring fellow and feminine attitude. The cheerful, mischievous, seductive attitude, the childish nature of Vhaken, even his attitude at certain times, the firm, cruel, deadly look when he looks at the opponent are also present in Leigh.
