Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 01 - THE RETURN OF FIRST LOVE

"Ms. Hani, I have made an appointment with Mr. Alex and Mr. Alex asked if he can meet at 4 this afternoon."

"All right, we will go to the Mall where the meeting is in 2 hours. Please call the driver to get ready."

Hani Ferro Lee is a hard-working woman of mixed South Korean-Indonesian descent who is successful in working in the fashion industry. Hani has been working as a fashion designer for the past 5 years. Even though her parents would have preferred that she inherited her parents' restaurant in South Korea, she still fought her way up to become the Hani she is today. At the age of 25, she has never felt what it's like to have a lover. Yes, if it wasn't for that, she might not be able to achieve the success that she achieved now and instead focus on that difficult relationship.

Buzz... Buzz...

"Hello, Rina. What's wrong?", Hani picked up the intercom phone on her desk.

"Someone wants to see you, Ms. Hani. May I invite him in, Miss?"

"Oh yes please."

Shortly after answering the call, the sound of the door opening made his gaze fall toward the door.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Director. How are you? Why didn't you contact me at all after disappearing that day?", said a man while closing the door.

"Why are you here? I'm busy and I'm about to attend a meeting with my secretary soon. You better leave my room now.", Hani replied a little sarcastically.

"Why do I have to go now? Wouldn't it be better if we go together? Let your secretary rest. You can go with me. I'm your fiancé, right? You better take advantage of me, who incidentally is your future husband," he explained while sitting on the sofa.

The man named Charli Refendy is someone who is almost get engaged to Hani. Hani's parents will allow Hani to refuse to be the successor to their family restaurant if she is willing to marry this man. Hani's family has been very close to Charli's family since Hani was little.

"I never agreed to my mother's request to be your fiancé. So please don't ever think of me as your fiancé."

"You think I'd be happy to agree with this engagement? I've forced it too. If it weren't the rule to pass school psychology, I wouldn't be willing to accept this crazy arrangement.", Charli replied.

Knock knock...

"Excuse me, Ms. Hani. Mr. Adi has come by car to pick us up, Miss." Secretary Hani said from behind the door.

"Okay, it's up to you if you don't want to leave this room. But sorry, I'm busy and it's still working hours right now.", Hani said to Charli while walking out of the room.

Hani has arrived at the Mall where her meeting with a client.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Hani.", greeted a client while holding out his hand.

"Yeah, good afternoon. With Mr. Alex?"

"Yes, I am. Please sit down, Ms. Hani."

"So can we start the meeting?" Hani asked.

"Alright, before that I was grateful that Ms. Hani had taken the time to attend today. For today's meeting, artists from our agency will also be present to discuss the concept of his clothes. He has arrived at the mall's lobby, maybe soon he will be here.", he explained.

"Well, there they are.", added Alex while waving his hand toward someone.

Two people walked towards their table. "Ms. Hani, this is our agency artist, Liam and this is Liam's manager, Tio. I'm here as a Makeup & Stylish team representative." Liam? That name seems familiar to Hani.

"Hi, Hani. Nice to see you again," said a person named Liam while taking off his sunglasses and black mask.

"Liam Maxwell? What are you doing here?" asked Hani, surprised, standing up from her chair.

"So, Liam already knows Ms. Hani. That's great then, it looks like this partnership will run smoothly.", added Alex.

Hani tried to drown out the sound of her heartbeat. He didn't expect Liam, an upperclassman who was also her first love, to be standing in front of her at this moment.

"Ms. Hani?" Alex said, interrupting Hani who stayed in deep thought.

"Can we go on, Miss?" Alex asked.

"Yes, please." Hani said, returning to her seat.

"Liam will be holding his 5th-anniversary concert in three months. Recently, Ms. Hani's brand is very well-known. We decided to use Ms. Hani's brand for the concert. Would Miss Hani be willing to work with us?"

Hani looked at Liam. Liam will wear her design? This was always in her imagination, now it will become a reality. Should she immediately accept this offer or think about it first? Hani is currently fighting with her mind and heart. Liam has rejected her love 3 times and the last time because of Hani's confession, Liam said that he would not want to see Hani again. 5 years after that day, Hani meets Liam again as a client.

"Han?" Liam called.

"Uh, yes, I would." Hani was surprised by her own words. How could she accept this offer head-on without thinking?

"All right, I will arrange Liam's schedule so he can come to Ms. Hani's studio as soon as possible. I will contact Ms. Hani later after clearing Liam's schedule for more details," said Alex.

"Since the meeting is over, I'll take my leave first." Hani stood up from her seat.

"Han, can we talk for a second?" Liam's voice makes Hani freeze.

"Sorry, I'm busy." Hani replied firmly.

"Please, Han!", begged Liam.

"All right, 10 minutes and no more."

Liam's manager, Alex, and Hani's Secretary leave and prefer to let them chat in private.

"How have you been?" Liam asked starting a conversation.

"As you can see. I'm VERY GOOD." Hani replied emphatically.

"I know you're still mad about that day. There's a reason I did that. I'm sorry."

"I've forgotten about that. If that's what you're going to bring up I shouldn't be wasting my time here." Hani got up from her seat and left Liam full of regrets. Liam saw Hani walking out of the cafe. Liam is very sorry for what he did back then. He had hurt her and how selfish he was to ask for her understanding of what he had done.

**

After meeting Liam, Hani walked through several clothing stores to calm her mind. Hani stopped at every shop she passed without buying anything. Her secretary, who had been paying attention to Hani, knew that Hani was in a bad mood. She chose to remain silent and followed Hani.

"Ms. Hani, a family dinner will be held at 7 tonight. Does Ms. Hani need to get ready now?" Rina asked carefully after thinking that Hani had calmed down.

"Not now. I'm thinking about whether I should attend or not." Hani replied casually.

"All right then, Miss."

"You will accompany me tonight. Don't worry, I will give you extra salary," said Hani.

"Okay, Miss."
