The First Meeting
"Handsome person?" Ask Alice to-the-point. "If someone says girls don't look physical, I'm sorry, I'm an important person... at least I'm not shy when invited to an important event."
"Honey, I still clearly remember your criteria in choosing a boyfriend, don't want to stand out or be more than you, don't dominate, handsome, tall. Anyway, Noah falls into that category. Do you believe in my taste? A Rachel's choice is never wrong, you know."
"Idih, I'm surprised, how come I can be friends with you two? Both narcissistic, hwek." Sofie pretended to be sick.
"You talk about it, it's your turn to cry and you need it, just call the two of us. You hypocrite!" chatter Rachel did not accept.
"Do you have a photo? I'll see first."
"Nothing, he never wants to take pictures when there is a meeting at the office. His son is not a narcissistic camera. There are no photos on social media!"
"Ah, there's no photo on social media?"
"He's old-fashioned. Not up to date. You ask the news that are hits, he doesn't even know."
"Okay, I'll check my schedule in a moment."
"Master queen with a super busy schedule," Sofie quipped.
Alice opened the calendar on her phone. Check the schedule. "How's Sunday? It's 10 o'clock at the Vresteck cafe."
"It's really good, as long as you make a schedule, everywhere if you ask for a meeting you have to match the schedules of both parties."
"Halah, I know the schedules of commoners like you at this hour, there's nothing to do."
"Shucks!" If it wasn't Alice who said it, maybe the orange ice in front of Sofie had already floated up. They know what Alice is, if you say arrogant, they can't deny it. You could even say, arrogant as if ingrained. Her name is also the privilege, sometimes like arbitrarily.
"Okay, deal huh? Oh, one more—"
"Yes yes I know, can't be late, right? This time it was Rachel who greeted and made Alice chuckle while holding up her thumb.

It wouldn't be Alice if she didn't find out who she was dealing with. When it came to finding someone's background, Alice was unbeatable. She can transform into Sherlock Holmes impromptu. As a result, after asking Rachel about Noah's full name, she immediately searched the internet search engine.
Noah Faresta Gerald
Linked-In profile appears.
Alice clicked on her LinkedIn profile. Only saw a photo of a guy sitting sideways while sipping a cup of coffee. One word crossed Alice's mind, mysterious. Then he saw his job: Audit Manager. April 2015 - present. S1 graduate from the University of Indonesia.
The girl whistled inwardly. He then turned to look for his Instagram, found it. There are no obscure accounts that she follows, for example, accounts like lambe_turah or awreceh, for Alice, a person's personality can be seen from the following list. Most of what he follows are accounts about football, classic bands like Queen, The Beatles, Oasis. Okay, the taste in music is also interesting. Fortunately, there are no accounts of sexy girls on the following list, if there is, Alice is ready to cross out Noah's name to be her choice.
Alice's cell phone rang again, chat from Rachel.
Rachel:
Oi, Noah asked for your WA. I love you?
Let's see you tomorrow, don't be confused.
Alice:
Ok.
Actually, Alice's feelings were also nervous about welcoming her meeting with Noah. The problem is this is the first time dealing with something like this. If it weren't for the wills, Alice would be reluctant to face men.

H day finally arrived. Alice finally woke up after a good night's sleep, purposely she didn't stay up late or work late, she wanted to give her best performance. Alice's principle has always been to look attractive in front of someone who wants to meet you for the first time. Making the best impression at first glance is absolute. The girl took a short-sleeved shirt combined with a cream-colored coat with a half-sleeved model. He also wore jeans and high heels in the same color as the suit.
Don't forget to apply foundation, blush-on, eyeliner, and red and nude ombre.
"Morning, sis." Aunt Uti who was sweeping greeted her who had just left the room.
"Morning too, Auntie." If there is a title of the most loyal person, Alice does not hesitate to assign it to Aunt Uti. She has been there taking care of Alice since he was a three-month-old red baby, even until Alice had a house, Aunt Uti faithfully moved to take care of all her needs.
"Don't have breakfast first, Sis?"
"No need, Auntie. In a hurry."
"Be careful, sis." Alice grabbed her car keys, warmed up the engine for a few minutes, and drove away. Sunday mornings, the streets are empty because people are taking a break from the mind-blowing weekly routine and perhaps spending time relaxing with their families.
The phone rings, there is an incoming chat from an unknown number.
081272723xxx:
Morning, I'm Noah, happened to get your number from Rachel. Btw I'm already in place, yes, at table number 17.
Alice nodded, a plus point; he knows how to value time. Because to be honest, one of the downsides of living in a metropolis is that people are arbitrary with time. They arrive late at will and hide behind the excuse, "Sorry, the road was jammed."
Alice:
Ok, 30 minutes I arrived.
Alice sped up her vehicle. As expected, 30 minutes passed, the vehicle arrived on time in the courtyard of the Vresteck cafe. Alice got out of the car and walked with her chin raised. The security guard who stood in front seemed to be amazed by his appearance for a moment. Alice tossed her hair, showing her charm even more. She looked around the restaurant, looked around the restaurant, and stopped at table number 17. A well-built man sat waiting for her.
The girl immediately stepped closer, the sound of her high heels tapping echoing, creating a dramatic sound in the still empty cafe. "Excuse me, with Noah?"
