Tell me clearly, who will you choose him or me?"

Grand Elty Hotel Ballroom

Evelyn was having fun with her boss joking around, when someone called her name in a very familiar voice. She gasped in surprised.

"Lyn!"

Evelyn turned back and found Riki, who was walking with a beautiful woman with a long blonde hair.

"Wow, so beautiful !!" Evelyn thought in amazed.

Riki walked closer to them and stared at Samuel who showed a strange face with raising eyebrows.

Tap!

"You are here too, Rik?" Evelyn asked in surprise when Riki reached at her side.

Riki smiled gently as usual, then patted Evelyn's head lightly before replying. It was such an annoying sight for someone who sat in front of Evelyn.

"What the heck, want to show off intimacy!" the person thought irritated.

"Heum !! You didn't say the party was here too?" Riki replied.

"I really don't know. Didn't I, Sam?" Evelyn replied casually and asked Samuel who nodded back.

"Sam? Since when were they that close?" Riki's thought unaccepted.

"Oh," Riki muttered briefly.

"I'm being ignored!!" another person thought a little irritated.

And that another person, who was with Riki before they came to the table, cleared her throat deliberately to get attention and succeeded.

Ehem !!

Riki, who heard it, turned to his side, but it was Evelyn who greeted her first with a friendly smile.

"Hi !!! Are you a friend of Riki? Wow Riki, you didn't tell me that you are close to a woman right now?" Evelyn said quickly and kindly.

Riyanti smiled hearing Evelyn's friendly greeting, and felt funny with the woman in front of her who looked very sincerely.

"It looks like this woman is sincere," Riyanti thought.

"Well, not really, we've just meet each other. Isn't that right, Riki?" Riyanti said kindly, then asked Riki who nodded in confirmation.

"We just met Lyn. Don't get me wrong!" Riki said explaining.

"Oh !!! I thought there was something. I'm glad if there is something!! " Evelyn replied disappointed.

Hearing Evelyn's disappointed tone, there were various responses from those around her. Riki who sighed in disappointment, Samuel who felt a breath of fresh air and Riyanti who was curious about what happened to the three people.

Riyanti was certain that there was something suspicious with the three people in front of her. She had her own reason why she was curious of the relationship between the three. She liked the man who she just recently knew. So she tought, she could get in between the three people and approached them even if it meant that she had to support one of them, even though she actually already decided whom she wanted to support.

" It seems interesting !!" Riyanti thought happily.

"Stop the nonsense Lyn. Get it out of your mind. Want me to knock your head, heum?" Riki replied jokingly.

"Uh ... No, you're so mean!" Evelyn joked back.

"Aren't you tired of standing?" Samuel interrupted and asked in a flat tone.

He was really annoyed when his partner's party was monopolized by his cousin.

"Eh..Yes, aren't you tired? Sam, they can sit with us, right?" Evelyn asked her boss for permission. Samuel nodded in approval, and anyways, he knew that the woman Riki brought, was the daughter who held the party.

"Please, it's her party anyway!" Samuel replied to Evelyn's question, who immediately glared in surprise.

"What do you mean? Whose party Sam?" Evelyn asked quickly.

"Um ... So before that, can I also call you, Lyn, just like Riki ?" Riyanti interrupted Evelyn's curious question.

"Yes, you can. Just call me Lyn. Oh yes ... Please have a sit first !!!" Evelyn said kindly and patted her hand on the empty side chair. Riyanti nodded towards the chair beside Evelyn, while Riki sat beside Samuel. So the sitting positions were Evelyn, Riyanti, Riki then Samuel by turning clockwise.

"So what's your name?" Evelyn asked impatiently.

"Riyanti...Riyanti Grindson. I happen to be the daughter who is having this party. It's nice to meet you, Lyn!" Riyanti replied kindly.

She stretched out her right hand which Evelyn greeted immediately.

"Evelyn Carla. You can call me Lyn! " Evelyn replied with a sweet smile.

"She' s beautiful person. No wonder," Riyanti thought.

"Fine, you can also call me Riy, so we can get along quickly, agree?" Riyanti said.

"Sure!" Evelyn replied quickly.

"Have you all known each other for a long time?" Riyanti asked curiously.

"Riki and me were friends since we were on campus, then the man in front of you is my boss!" Evelyn explained.

"Wow, your friendship has been around for a long time !!" Riyanti replied in surprise.

Evelyn smiled broadly when she heard Riyanti's words which were true, their friendship had existed for almost seven years, a long time which resulted in a close relationship like a brother sister relationship.

"That's why I consider Riki as my own brother. He is my only support!" Evelyn replied cheerfully.

Evelyn's cheerful answer was the opposite of the person she was aiming for. She also didn't know if the answer from her, again made someone respond differently.

Jleb!

"Oh my God, must it really be like this?" Riki thought miserably.

"Wow, it looks like something wilted before it developed!" Samuel thought happily.

"Looks like someone is in the Brother zone!" Riyanti's mind began to understand.

Then they were involved in a small talk, which was dominated by the two women at their table.

Surely what happened at Samuel's table was observed by the other guests' women, who looked enviously at the two women who could sit at the same table as Samuel.

Meanwhile, at the main door of the ballroom, a woman walked in a black press body dress above the knee. The woman looked around with appraising eyes, admiring the luxurious interior of the building and the party decorations. The woman walked with a steady stride and raised chin, confident in what was in hers. She met the party organizer and greeted him on behalf of the her late Father.

"Good evening, Mr. Doni. It's nice to meet you, congratulations on the launch of the new product and always success!" She said with an attached business smile.

"Thank you, how about the Jhovanes company? I heard that your company is having a partnership with Grahem now? Your company is just getting better !!" Doni asked not far from business.

This woman with the surname Jhovanes smiled as usual, a smile she learned from her late father.

"The news spreads fast. Actually it's still just a discourse considering there will be a family unification," She replied with lips still smiling falsely.

"Family union? But Mr. Samuel is here with his lover!" Doni replied in surprise.

Doni heard himself from Samuel's mouth, if the woman who came with him tonight, was his current lover.

"What do you mean? " She asked quickly.

"Ah sorry, I don't mean to interfere. But I also just found out, when Mr. Samuel greeted me. Mr. Samuel is also at this party and he came with a woman. They seemed to be enjoying this party," Doni replied.

"At this party? With another woman?" She asked curiously.

"Yes, Miss Tania. Wait, I think I saw him over there. Ah, look there is Mr. Samuel !! That's him who was sitting with my daughter, they were -"

" Ah...Miss Tania, where are you going? "

"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Doni, and congratulations once again," Tania said briefly before leaving Doni who called her name over and over again.

"Samuel is here !!" Tania muttered happily.

But her joy didn't last long, when she saw Samuel sitting with two women there. Her fists clenched tightly holding back annoyance. With hurried steps she approached Samuel's table, who still didn't know her presence.

"How dare that woman," Tania muttered softly.

Meanwhile, at the same time, at Samuel's table, they were talking about movies and other favorite things.

"Really? I also like that movie ! Especially when Mahesa fought with the enemy to save Puspita!" Evelyn said excitedly.

"Yeah, that's right? Actually, I didn't really like action movies, but when I saw the fight. I think that was really cool!" Riyanti exclaimed also excited.

"How about a - "

Tap!

"Samuel !!!"

Evelyn's words were forced to stop, as a strange woman's voice interrupted quickly. Beside Samuel stand suddenly a beautiful woman, with a flawless appearance. Standing with an unreadable face made them frown in confusion.

"Who are you ?" Samuel asked briefly. He tried to remember who the woman beside him was, but unfortunately there was not a single memory.

"Have you forgotten me?" Tania asked in disbelief.

Samuel could only frown in confusion, with a curious eyebrow raised in one.

"Certainly, she's not one of my bitches," Samuel thought confidently.

Seeing that there was no meaningful response from the man in front of her, she introduced herself loudly, making the atmosphere boisterous at once. Of course it was boisterous with shock, hearing the unexpected news.

"I am Tania, Tania Jhovanes. I am your future fiance. Do you remember now?"

Deg!

"Jhovanes!" someone's mind thought.

The whispers began to be heard, of course Samuel was annoyed with his eyes glancing around and realized that many people stared at him.

"Damn it!" Samuel thought irritably.

"Looks like Miss Jhovanes is drunk, obviously I am a man with a lover sitting next to me. How can I have a future fiance?" Samuel said coldly.

Samuel's statement immediately drew various responses. Evelyn who felt uneasy, Riki who glared in disbelief and of course, Tania who felt angry.

"What does this mean, Sam? Explain it to me?" Tania yelled.

Before answering the emotional question from Tania, he first got up and stood in front of her.

"Isn't it obvious, my lover is next beside me. But suddenly there is another woman who claims to be my future fiance? Seriously, that's so funny!" Samuel said casually.

"Sam!"

"We're going home," Samuel said quickly without emotion.

Interrupting Riki's words which were definitely not far from a sentence of protest.

"Whatever," Samuel thought indifferently.

At the moment, he didn't care what his cousin think. He felt very angry, because for the first time people were talking about him in front of him.

"Sam!!"

"Now Lyn," Samuel interrupted quickly.

Evelyn couldn't argue either, so she reached for her handbag and gave an apologetic nod silently at Riki and Riyanti.

"Excuse me!" Evelyn said simply.

Then she got up from her seat and walked quickly, following the steps of her boss who was in a bad mood.

"Shit !!" Tania muttered irritably.

With stomping feet in annoyance, Tania left the table in extreme embarrassment. She couldn't believe that she was left by a man, after her one-sided recognition as fiance. Deafening her ears, when she heard the whispers about her, she also left the ballroom in hurried.

"You just wait and see," Tania thought irritably.

Meanwhile, Riki and Riyanti, who were left by Evelyn and Samuel, were silent with their thoughts without being able to say a word.

"Lyn," Riki thought sadly.
