18 HAVE WE EVER MET BEFORE?

Have We ever Met Before?

After waiting for almost a month while preparing everything, this morning David and Patricia were at the airport to pick up Amelia and the manager appointed by Tasya. They waited for almost an hour because the plane was delayed, finally what they were waiting for arrived.

"That's Jasmine," said Patricia, pointing at the figure of a beautiful woman wearing a knee-length light blue dress. She walked over with confidence and walked straight over to Patricia.

"Welcome, Jasmine," Patricia said.

"Thank you, Patty. Hmm ... this is Karenina who will help with all my needs and arrange all my schedules. Just call her Nina," Amelia said to Patricia without turning the slightest turn to David. Patricia only smiled at Amelia's attitude towards David.

"Jasmine, this is David. She is the owner of Pandawa Records and Citra Buana television," said Patricia. Amelia turned to David and took off her glasses and held out her hand. For a moment David just froze, staring at Amelia's face. Seeing David, who was silent, Patricia immediately elbowed the man's arm.

"Uh, I'm sorry," said David and then welcomed Amelia's helping hand.

"She's in awe of your beauty, Jasmine," said Patricia, making David's face flush with embarrassment. However, Amelia did not respond, she only smiled a little.

"Are we going to continue to be at the airport?" asked Amelia.

Realizing his mistake, David immediately ordered the driver to bring Amelia and Nina's belongings.

"Let's go to your apartment first, then we'll go to eat, okay," said David.

"Whatever," Amelia replied briefly.

Amelia was stunned, she entered the apartment with mixed feelings. She knows that David gave her the apartment first, she asked Patricia herself so that David wouldn't change anything. Amelia wanted to stay with those bitter memories, she didn't want changes so she could remember what David had done to her.

She tried hard not to cry and still showed her arrogant attitude.

"I love the apartment, just like the one Patricia showed me the picture," said Amelia.

"I like it if you like it, Jasmine," said David.

After putting their things down, David immediately took them to eat, he had already booked the restaurant for their lunch. Accidentally, when they were about to enter the elevator, Karla was in the elevator.

"Who is she, Dave?" asked Karla with narrowed eyes. Amelia's feelings shook at once, she wanted to hug her sister. However, she still remembers how Karla treated her often. So, Amelia decided to glare at Karla.

"Is she your wife, Mr. David?" asked Amelia without turning to Karla. David looked awry, he was confused about what to answer.

"I am the mother of Mr. David's son, but I am not his wife," Karla replied firmly. Patricia almost choked at Karla's bold reply. Amelia herself felt that her chest was a little tight, she felt sorry for her sister's condition. Even though Karla was often rude to her, Amelia always remembers how Karla had sacrificed her.

"Well, then it's okay if I'm close to Mr. David. Besides, Mr. David and I are only in a working relationship," said Amelia.

"It doesn't matter if you want more, I don't mind. Sorry, I'll go ahead, there is a shooting schedule," said Karla as she passed.

Patricia and Amelia glanced at each other and looked at David, who looked confused and embarrassed.

"Shall we eat, or shall we stand here getting on and off the elevator?" Amelia asked, making David wake up and take a stop immediately.

In the end, they had lunch together. It seemed that Amelia kept her distance from David.

"Has Patricia said all the terms I put in?" Amelia asked David.

"Yes, Jasmine and I agree. I've prepared several singles that I think will suit the character of your voice," said David.

"Hmm, can I hear you tomorrow?" asked Amelia enthusiastically.

Amelia wanted to be able to hear her voice live. Not hiding and letting other people acknowledge the voice. Even if it is her sister.

David smiled happily, this is what he wanted. He wanted to promote Amelia as soon as possible.

"Have we met before, Jasmine?" asked David.

"I don't think so, I've lived in Korea since high school and when I saw the competition yesterday I was only interested in joining and bringing the name Indonesia."

"Why?"

"Because, sometimes when we are in our own country we have difficulties to be able to advance, we need to go and prove ourselves in another country. Because when we bring the name of our country to another country, then we are respected. Yes, like today. If I participate in competitions in other countries. Indonesia does not necessarily mean that I can become a champion. But, because I am a champion in another country, I find it easier in my country. "

David chuckled, "

It's because you just met me. I'm the kind of person who appreciates other people's talents, "said David.

Amelia's eyes were rounded and she was looking at David seriously.

"Then can I ask a question?"

"Yes, just ask."

"Why are you interested in working with me?" asked Amelia seriously.

David took a deep breath, he grabbed his drink and took a slow sip. After that, he looked at Amelia calmly.

"At first I saw your appearance on the show. Then, I was interested to hear your really beautiful voice. So I asked Patricia to go to Korea and see you," said David.

"Ah, you are interested because you heard my voice?"

"Of course, Jasmine. What else should a singer have besides having a beautiful voice? Yes, in choosing talents I am most fussy with vocal quality.

Amelia grinned and looked at David, "If I were fat, would you keep telling Patricia to find me and find me?" asked Amelia casually. Suddenly David immediately choked and coughed at Amelia's question. Patricia could only hold back her laughter at seeing David, who was so suffocated.

"Alas, you're choking. Is there something wrong with my question?" asked Amelia innocently as she put the chunks of meat into her mouth.

"It's okay, it just so happened that the cutlet was a little too big," David replied embarrassedly.

'Feel it! Amelia made you to death, 'thought Patricia, amused.
