A Strange Situation

It felt like she wanted to finish everyone in the building. How could they not, the look in their eyes made him look like a failed clown on the performance stage. Shameful!

At such a bad time, Bella got a call from the apartment building. She asked her to come and inspect the building she was about to occupy. Bella hoped, the place was as expected. A place that has a nice, comfortable, and clean view. That would make her mood improve.

Bella had not been able to understand where she was working, though Grace and Billy had already explained what kind of city to go to. The risks she will bear are also already willing to accept her. However, the fact remains that Bella is snarky. What kind of city did she actually come to?

Bella walked towards the nearest bus stop. It was at least five hundred meters away from the prosecutor's building. He had to pass the intersection on the west side. Bella would probably stop by the department store to buy some cold coffee.

On the way, Bella got a phone call from a number not listed in her cell phone contacts. Without hesitation, Bella answered the call. Maybe the building's owner's assistant number, Bella thought.

"Hello," Bella said.

"Thanks God. I thought you would not answer my phone."

A man's voice, Bella's mind. "Why not? By the way, who are you?"

"I'm Kim. Remember?"

Bella racked her brains. "Sorry, there are many men I know named Kim."

"We had one office when we were in New York. Kim Seok-jun. "

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, I may have forgotten tokeep your number," Bella said, feeling guilty.

"No. This is my new number after moving to CatWell."

"Wait. I also transferred to this city."

"Yes. I saw you just now, but haven't had time to say hello. By the way, do you know the owner of that red car behind you?"

Bella turned her head and saw a red sports car. Could it be that the vehicle is what Kim is referring to?

"No," Bella replied.

"He followedme toget you out of the office. I think he is your friend," Kim said.

"Oh, no, I don’t. Thanks for your information. I'll call you back."

Bella hung up the call and then approached the vehicle Kim was referring to quickly. Bella then knocked on the wheelhouse window three times. Whoever it is, she won't shoot it in the crowd, right?

"Excuse me," Bella said.

After a few minutes of not responding, Bella knocked on the window glass again and again until finally the object came down slowly and revealed a man inside.

She thought, Jofran or a burly man with a creepy look on his face yang would be seen. However, in front of her now was a handsome man, dressed neatly, and wearing expensive accessories.

Does he know her? Certainly not. Bella had no bond with the nobility.

"Sorry. Can we talk just a minute? I saw you following me from earlier. Do you know me?" Bella asked.

"It seems, there is a misunderstanding here. I'm not following you," the man replied.

"Oh, really?"

"Yep. I'm looking for a bakery shop that's around here."

His eyeballs are moving everywhere. He touched his nose when he said. The man quipped.

"Really? I don't think there's a cake shop around here," Bella said, folding her arms in front of her chest. Altought, she didn't know about the place the man was referring to.

The man smiled faintly. "It seems, you are a new person in this city. That's the bakery shop I'm referring to," the man said, pointing to a waken minimis beside the department store.

The man with dark blue slices and thick caramel brown hair got out of his car. Bella swallowed as she realized the man's height was about fifteen centimeters taller than her. The man also has wide shoulders and a massive body. It is certain that Bella's slender body will disappear in his arms.

"Oh, sorry," Bella said, geeky. "It seems, I did misunderstand.”

"This is not true, miss. As an apology, you can treat me."

Bella glanced at the big cake shop. Presumably, the menus there have enough prices to drain her pocket. Bella didn't want the money that had been prepared to rent a house to be reduced just for the word sorry.

"Another time. It's not that I don't want to. Just that, I have important business now. Can I ask for your phone number? I will treat you next time," Bella said.

The man slipped both hands in his trouser pockets, then leaned forward. Bella's reflex took a step back.

"Let's put it this way. When we meet lagi later, you have to make one of my requests later. So, let's we entrust it to fate." The man smiled from ear to ear, pulling his body a few steps back. "Until we meet again."

Bella sputtered for a while. His eyes flickered, though not twinkling. He couldn't digest the strange moment that just happened. Even until the man left before her, Bella still stood in the same place.

"Granting one request, what does he think I am? Alladin's cousin?" scorned Bella.

***

After seeing one of the residences in the De Palace apartment, Bella decided to rent the place. As promised, the apartment had a great view. Although it is not a new building, it is well maintained. It is clean and the facilities can also still be used without any problems.

The apartment was not too big. The residence, which is on the third floor, has a simple kitchen with cream color combined with white wall. There are several shelves attached to the wall, suitable for occupying small flower pots, the meal room is not spacious enough. More like a mini bar with two bar chairs. The bathroom was clean. There was no bathtub, but the shower and wastafle it was more than enough for Bella to clean up. Next to the kitchen, there is a fairly quiet space. One of the rooms was glass-walled. Bella could imagine the night view of CatWell City from her balcony.

"I'm going to buy a sofa and kabinet. I'm going to put it here with a 30-inch television. Do I have to buy a table? I don't think it's necessary. After all, there will be no one who will be a guest of this house," Bella said as she scanned the room.

She then entered a room with a wooden door. "Enough for one big bed, cupboard, and dressing table. Wait! What about my workbench?"

Bella walked out. He huddled as he scanned one corner of the living room. "There. I'll put my work table here. When I was tired, I just looked at the chair and looked at the lights of the building in front of it. Perfect. All right! It's time to go shopping."

Bella left. With the help of a taxi driver, she found a tool shop to fill his new dwelling. She was so happy to send the news to Grace over the phone. Bella even asked Grace to choose a suitable tool.

Shopping is done after hours. Bella didn't expect it to be as long as it was time thrown away. Not to mention the time she would spend putting all that stuff in order.

"It's going to be a tiring night," she muttered.

Bella arrived at the apartment at eight o'clock in the evening. Bella didn't want her work to disturb the neighbors who lived in front of her residence. Yes, the only has one neighbor. Bella hopes that whoever lives there is not troublesome. She had been in trouble with a chatty neighbor during college.

"Should I distribute cakes for her as an introductory gift?" Bella asked as she stood at the door of her house. "The owner of the building said that someone lives there, but how come it hasn't been seen yet, yes. Is he out of town? Ah, never mind!"

Bella then reversed course and walked in. Just before she closed the door of the residence, the elevator clinked. Bella thought her neighbor was going to get out of the steel box. She hide and left the door slightly open.

The elevator door opened. A man wore after a black suit, shiny loafers. The body is tall and has a balanced body weight. Bella raised her gaze slightly. Thick caramel brown hair, blue irises ... she recognized that face.

"Oh, My God! He is the guy whom I saw today, isn’t he?"
