PART 12 ~ BRAM'S ANXIETY

After Bram finished getting ready, he put on his office coat which he left at Clara's apartment. After that, he went to Clara's working room and saw Clara standing in front of the beautiful wedding dress that was displayed on the mannequin.

"I'm going to the office, maybe I'll be home late at night," said Bram.

Clara turned and looked at Bram with a frown.

"Are you saying goodbye to me?" Clara asked confused. The reason is, Bram never told her if he wanted to go. Bram always came and went as he pleased.

"If you were smart, you wouldn't ask," said Bram and left Clara. Bram came out of the apartment and went to the office.

Meanwhile, in Clara's working room. Clara looked confused at the thought of Bram's changed attitude. Last night Bram looked very upset. This morning, Bram looked annoyed and then changed for the better. Now, Bram even said he wanted to go to the office.

'I don't know what got into him?' Clara mumbled with a shrug.

Arriving at the office.

Bram walked along the office corridor towards his working room. A small smile graced his lips.

Bram thought about his silly behavior because he said goodbye to Clara when he was going to the office.

'Damn it! Just like husband and wife,' murmured Bram, shaking his head.

Some of the staff who saw it were dumbfounded. Because it was the first time I saw Bram smile even though it was only a small smile.

"Come to my working room!" said Bram to his secretary.

Bram's secretary followed Bram into Bram's working room.

"I want all the work done quickly," said Bram.

"What do you mean, Sir?" asked the confused secretary.

"Hm... I mean, rearrange all scheduled meetings with clients. If necessary, do all meetings with clients on the same day," said Bram.

Secretary Bram looked surprised. It was unusual for Bram to ask him to arrange all scheduled meetings with clients.

"Sorry, Sir. What makes you want me to change the meeting schedule?" asked the secretary.

"What right have you to ask me? You work to follow my orders! So just do your job and don't ask too many questions!" said Bram.

Secretary Bram fell silent. She just wanted to know Bram's reason, so she could give a logical reason to his client. Changing the meeting schedule is certainly not easy. It can even be chaotic because the client's schedule doesn't allow it to always match Bram's schedule.

"After that, I will be on leave until my trip to Germany," said Bram.

"You want a day off?" said Secretariat Bram, confused.

"Yes," said Bram.

"Okay, Sir," said Bram's secretary and left Bram's working room. The secretary was still confused by Bram's attitude. Bram never asked for leave as long as she worked for Bram. Unfortunately, she didn't want to ask any further. She didn't want Bram to rebuke her like before.

Bram opened his cell phone and clicked on a woman's contact. He typed a message. Over and over he typed the same message and deleted it again. Bram sighed and put his phone pretty hard on his desk. He rubbed his face a little harshly.

'Why is this feeling the same as before? ' muttered Bram.

Yes, Bram didn't know what had happened to him, one thing he thought. There was something in the same way that he felt in the woman he had just clicked his contact with. The feeling that made him want to smile when he remembered that woman and the same feeling he felt when he was close to his ex-lover.

Not wanting to get lost in his chaotic thoughts, Bram chose to start working. He was so enthusiastic that he wanted to finish his work immediately and wanted to take time off immediately. He wants to spend a lot of time relaxing and having fun.

**** At Clara's apartment.

Clara is still busy sketching the redesign of Liora's wedding dress. Her work has improved since Bram destroyed her cell phone and all the data she didn't have time to copy to her laptop was lost. She had to remember hard how the initial sketch of Liora's wedding dress would look like.

While working, Clara hears the apartment bell ringing. She rushed to the door and opened it. A man who looks like a courier is seen holding a big bouquet of red roses.

"Are you Clara Wibisono?" the person asked.

"Yes," said Clara.

"There's a bouquet for you," the man said and Clara took the bouquet.

"Thank you," Clara said and brought the flowers in.

'Gerry?' Clara muttered as she looked at the greeting card and saw Gerry's name on it.

"Have a nice day, Clara."

-Gerry-

Clara gave a small smile to get Gerry's attention. It turned out that Gerry was the sweet type of guy, even bothered to send a bouquet to Clara.

'He's very sweet, unlike that human. It sucks!' Clara muttered in annoyance when suddenly Bram's face crossed her mind.

Clara keeps flowers on the sofa in her working room. She noticed the flower.

'He's not so bad,' Clara muttered with a smile.

Clara admitted that at first, she was not interested in getting to know Gerry. However, when last night she chatted via chat with Gerry, it turned out that Gerry was quite a pleasant person.

*** At dinner.

Bram exited his working room and went into the Dungeon. Bram got into his car and went to Clara's apartment. Arriving at the Basement apartment, Bram saw Clara get into his car and get out of the apartment.

"Leave the car, and you go home in a taxi!" said Bram to his driver.

Bram's driver agreed and got out of Bram's car and gave the car keys to Bram. Meanwhile, Bram went to Clara's apartment unit.

As soon as he entered Clara's apartment, Bram went to Clara's working room. Somehow his heart pushed him to enter the room. Bram looked around the room which looked a little messy. He understood Clara had a lot of work to do.

Bram frowned when he accidentally saw a bouquet of red roses. He approached the flower and read the greeting card still in the bouquet.

Bram clenched his fists when he saw Gerry's name.

'Damn it! That person again!' growled Bram.

Bram took his cell phone and checked Clara's whereabouts.

'Stupid! Want to play with me!' growled Bram while showing an unusual grin when Clara turned off her location information.

Bram smiled remembering the tracking machine he had installed in Clara's car. He rushed out of the apartment and headed for his car.

"We'll see what you're trying to hide from me, Clara," Bram muttered.

Bram suspects that Clara is in a relationship with Gerry. After all, Clara was in a relationship with him only for the money. Of course, Bram was worried that Clara would be attracted to other men and have feelings for other men. Although the two of them have no right to interfere in each other's personal affairs, Bram does not like to share. Especially if Clara shares her body with another man. It was clear that Bram would not forgive Clara.

Bram drove his car to where Clara had gone, to the club that Clara used to go to.

Arriving at the club, Bram entered the club and looked for Clara's whereabouts. Bram seemed to sigh when he saw Clara sitting with a woman who Bram remembered was Clara's friend who slapped him while drunk in Clara's apartment.

Bram sat on the sofa which was quite far from where Clara was. Clara does not know of Bram's whereabouts even though the club is still not crowded.

Bram sat alone for a long time and time passed.

Bram got up from his seat and was about to leave the club when he realized that Clara had not done anything suspicious. But Bram's steps stopped when he saw a man he knew.

'He's here too! Did they meet on purpose' murmured Bram when he saw Gerry.
