"What do you do, Ra?."

Ara was silent in her place, the handphone she was holding fell.

"What are you doing with my phone? What do you need, Ra?." asked Gio again.

"Ugh, that's, um, there's nothing. I just want to borrow it for a moment, to... play a game!."

"But why are you surprised to hear my voice?."

"Yes, you were sleeping, suddenly woke up, who wouldn't be surprised!."

"Ohh...." Gio took his handphone that fell near Ara's feet and then put it in his shirt pocket.

"I'm sleeping again, Ra." he said who then actually went back to sleep on the sofa.

Ara silently looked at Gio who was starting to sleep. After a while Ara started to move away from Gio, she wanted to contact Tiffany to tell the girl that she needed more time to retrieve Gio's handphone.

Tiffany put her head on the pile of her hands that were on her desk, had spent her full afternoon making her feel so tired.

"I should have rested after school instead of working, huh!." Tiffany grumbled.

It's true what Tiffany said, she didn't even have time to change her school uniform and had to go straight to her office, helping her father take care of the company.

"I'm still in school, right? Why keep being burdened, I'm annoyed!." She said who then immediately stood up and stepped out of her office.

The girl went straight to her car which was parked irregularly in a parking space that was reserved for her family. She drove her car to her house, she was really hot with the current weather, even though in her room using the AC still made her feel claustrophobic and sticky.

"I have to take a shower, then I'll be back there." Arriving at her yard, Tiffany immediately got out of her car and walked quickly into a house that could be said to be like a palace.

The girl immediately went to her room and took a shower. Tiffany spent quite a long time in the bathroom, approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes. Yes, how not long ago if she soaked herself in the bath-up, with the soaking water with a strong rose scent making her feel refreshed.

After taking a shower, Tiffany immediately put on her clothes in the closet, she wore a maroon shirt and pants made of black basic fabric, using small accessories that made her look even cuter. Don't forget to tie her hair in a ponytail, really making her look beautiful and cute at the same time.

"I forgot something?." She asked as she was about to leave the room, and when she looked back she realized that she had forgotten... her phone!

"Yes, my phone!." She said then turned around again to take her handphone which she had left on the bed.

Tiffany put her handphone in her pants pocket and then rushed back to her car so she could get back to the company as soon as possible.

On the other side....

2 of her sisters Tiffany's father is waiting for their nephew, whom they have burdened with work since the girl came home from school, they are waiting for her because there are some files that Tiffany hasn't finished working on, or she didn't do it on purpose.

Waiting and waiting until both of them became annoyed and decided to report Tiffany's performance to the girl's father so that in the future they no longer wait for Tiffany for what they think is a very long time. And when one of the two people was calling Tiffanny's father, suddenly the girl came back into her study, making the people who were waiting for her jump in surprise, especially with Tiffany's clothes that were already neat like never before.

Tiffany ignored the surprise of her two uncles, she entered and sat in her work chair.

"What's the matter, Uncle?." asked Tiffany who then immediately focused on her computer monitor screen which she had not turned off before.

"Where have you been?." asked one of his uncles who sounded a little annoyed with Tiffany.

"I'm hot, I'm not strong if I have to work in school clothes, my movements are limited because of that, where my sweat that dries on my clothes makes me itchy, what if I get allergic later because of wearing uniforms to do my uncles' tasks, someone wants to be responsible answer?."

"You talk a lot, Tiffany. Already, the important thing is that you finish the tasks as soon as possible, we still have a lot of work to do."

"Whatever it is, whatever. Get out of my room, next time don't just walk into my room, it's better to call me first before you get my permission, no one is allowed to enter. I'll put a warning on my door later."

The warning given by Tiffany did not get a response that was more than a shrug of the shoulder or the lazy stares that her two uncles threw at her, Tiffany, who was used to such responses, didn't bother.

After her two uncles came out of her office, Tiffany stretched her tense muscles because she had to deal with her uncles who were always angry with her.

"Really! Since Drayen left, this family has changed! I have to call Dian, she has to help me here!." She said she then contacted someone who was her cousin.

After the telephone connection was connected, Tiffany immediately chattered non-stop, the girl didn't let go of her cousin even for one second until she felt her mouth start to hurt.

"Done?." Ask someone on the other side of the phone, yes it is Dian that Tiffany means.

"Not yet! I still have a lot to say, Dian! Before you and Drayen were always looking out for the future of our family, but why do I have to work now?! I'm annoyed, this is not fair. There, at your place you are busy with That unclear race, I envy Dian!."

"Oh come on, don't complain to me, complain about it all to your father."

"You know, if dad is good to me then I will pay for his kindness, even more, this is my payment for bringing my friends to the Resort."

"Then accept your fate, it's your fault."

"It could be crazy like this, huft."

"Oh come on, where's the Tiffany I know? A cheerful girl who is also fierce but tireless? Why are you busy envying me now?"

"Are you busy tonight?."

"No, only 2 races tonight. Why ask?."

"Pick me up, will you? I want to come."

"Suddenly? Why? Don't you like this habit of mine?."

"I need refreshing, Dian."

"But... Ah well, okay I'll pick you up, but on one condition."

"Okay, what?." asked Tiffany who was very enthusiastic.

"I need a partner tonight, you...be my partner!."

Crazy request, is so crazy for Tiffany! Even though her cousin knew that Tiffany didn't like things that smelled of racing, the girl instead asked her to be her racing partner. Yes, it can't be helped, that's her cousin... Apriana Dian Agustin, a cousin who loves Tiffany but because she is full of prestige... Be the person she is today.

"HOW, DEAL?."

"Can there be any other conditions?." asked Tiffany who tried to bargain with the conditions that Dian gave.

"Can't and doesn't exist. Be my partner and I'll pick you up, or not at all?."
