Cecilia's POV
Miami, United States of America
We arrived at Miami International Airport. What's inside her head right now? Send us to a seminar? What kind seminar for us to... Oh, there you are Mr. Hypocritical. He puts our suitcases on the ground and sighed.
"Someone will pick us up, right?" I'm put my hand above my head and took a deep breath. Gosh! The sun hit my skins.
We're looking at our surrounding and no sign of someone who will pick us up. "Call Julia, she..." my phone ringing and I'm looking at the screen.
"She said... no one pick us up, but she already booked a hotel room for us." He sighed. Do you think we're gonna honeymoon or something!? Why she...
"Do you know where she booked the hotel?" I did not answer Marco's question. Andrew, argh! You call not in the right time! I reject his call and reply Julia's message. "She already reply your message?"
I took a deep breath and sighed. "I can leave you here and you will get roasted by the sun, or maybe some bad guys will kidnap you and take all your...."
"Fine! Fine! Fine! I'll keep quiet!" He sits on the ground. Huh! Now who's acted like a child?! I send my message. I put down my phone and sighed. "Hey." I hummed.
I take a seat on my suitcases and sighed. Why she did this? What she's hiding from us? "Hey, do you hear me?! Does Andrew already takeover your brain right now?!" What again Marco!?
"Listen! I'm not in the mood to argue with you, okay!? You tired so do I! Whining it's not the only way we survive this! Do you think I'm the one who planned this!?" I shook my head and sighed. "Whatever!" I stopped a taxi and put my suitcases in the baggage.
"Cecilia!" I get inside the car.
"Jonathan's motel, please!" The driver nodding his head and leave Marco alone. Does he realized what he did earlier was too childish?! He the one who called me childish and now who's the real childish one!?
I'm looking at my phone and Julia already send me a message. She said, she already booked a hotel called Heritage Hotel. "Um... sir?" The driver glancing at me and hummed. "Changing plan, we're about to go to Heritage Hotel." He nodding his head.
I took a deep breath and looking at the outside of the window. I forward the message to him and try not to close my eyes.
Julia's POV
I'm walking to the VIP room where's my brother and my dad at. I took a deep breath and cleared my throat as I opened the door. My brother and my dad already sits with their couple. I glance at Alicia, she's the one who ruined Ashley's marriage.
I took a deep breath and exhale, gipping my hand tight. "Julia..." I put a bundle of picture and a voice recorder.
"Why are you hiding, Alicia?" Alicia furrowed her brow. I take a seat and leaned my back. I played the recorder.
"....Ashley is Albert's dog, Robin. It's too easy to made her lose everything. Kevin should married me instead that dog (chuckles). What's good in her!? I heard she already has a son. It took 3 years to having a son. I can give him just only 2 months." I press the pause button and glared at her.
All eyes now stared at her. "Um... i-it's..." Nope. It's not ending here. I put another cassettes and play the recorder again. "(whine) Julia keep rejects me. She the most difficult woman I've ever encountered before. I don't know what her types are! I remember someone told me 'If one door closed, another door will open.' Do you know her brother, Kevin? Yeah, he easy to get seduced. Since my dad already a partner, he will agree with my choice. What about his wife? I will make them fight, then sign the divorce..."
I press the stop button and sighed. None of us speaking until Kevin standing up, get out from this VIP room. "Kevin..."
"You stay here, Alicia." My dad told her to stay inside this room. I glared at her and cleared my throat.
"I-It's all made up!" She tries to denies everything. "Julia! Y-you violated my privacy! I-I will..."
I took a deep breath and exhale. I crossed my leg and stared at her. "Me? I have rights, Alicia. Did you not... read your agreement!? You should become my secretary once you already got married. My dad never trust someone else outside the mansion did that. Technically, you are my secretary, and my family. Besides, Kevin is too lazy go to work and he often spending his time in Las Vegas or spending their monthly money on the bar, gambling table, and fancy brand."
She turns to my dad. "I agree with Julia, Ms. Wang. She has rights. You lived in the Albert's mansion, right? So why you not showed in her office?" Alicia get out of her room. I guess she will got her job back, I don't know.
Both parties, my brother and Ashley haven't sign the divorce paper and it's clearly they love to each other. Kenneth. The only reason I will fight for this is Kenneth. He needs his dad. He still young to understand everything happened in this world. "I need a fresh air, you guys can order me a medium-rare steak? I need a fresh air."
I get up and walking to the bar nearby. I took a deep breath and looking at my phone. I called Cecilia, hope she's not sleeping yet.
Cecilia's POV
I opened my eyes as my phone keep ringing and looking at the one who is called. Julia? I accept her call and sighed. "You..."
"I'm sorry to wake you in this hour..." I hugged my pillow and put her in loudspeaker mode. "Do you know how to... pulled someone's hair?" Why she asking me kind of stuff?
"Just... pulled her hair, duh. Beside, why you asking that kind of question?! It's not you. Sometimes I just... wonder if you're fine or not, Jullie. I just... concern. Since you said we're friend now." I said.
I only heard her sobbing sound through the phone. All I can do is waiting her to calm. "Sorry, I just..."
"It's okay, Jullie. Crying is not show your weakness, but it's the otherwise. People often cried to their friend because of various thing. Such as... a heartbreak, unholdable feeling, and sometimes people cried because the want to. I-I..." I took a deep breath. "I cried in front of you twice, remember? You always there for me and trust me."
I heard she's chuckling and heard a bartender said her order. Where is she? I only can hear a sound of classical music in the background. "Are you..."
"I should go," she hangs up the call. I took a deep breath and looking at my phone. Julia, what happened to you? Now, I'm curious about what's the problem inside her family is? She's my friend and all these times, she always there for me, but... I'm not always there for her.
Maybe she just need her time to be alone. I shrugged my shoulder, then pulled all over my body with a blanket and continue my sleep.
