One Jealous Guy

Erik woke up with a headache.  The space beside him was empty and cold.  Aryana must have woken up some time ago.

He left the bed and opened the balcony to let the sun in.  A view of the park below greeted him and he frowned. 

"Good morning boss!"  Marlon greeted him from the balcony of his room.  He was having his coffee while sitting leisurely on a lounge chair.

"Looked like you had a long night.  It was unusual of you to wake up late."  He joked.

"You still want your job?"  Erik said coldly.  His gaze was trained on the three figures strolling in the park below.

"How is Cassie?"  Marlon hesitated before asking.

"She explained the reason why she left."  He said briefly.

"So what's next."  Marlon looked at him sideways.  Their balconies have a distance of about two meters.

Erik kept silent.  He was intently looking at Aryana who seemed to be having a good time talking to two men in the park.  His grip on the balcony hardened.
