LUKE'S SUSPICION

"Be patient, Quin. You have to conquer his heart. Isn't that the best way to get your revenge?" Quin encouraged herself. She took off the mini dress that was attached to her body and replaced it with torn jeans and a T-shirt.

"To make my plan easier, I have to get food made from soybeans. That way he will be impressed and fall in love with me." Again Quin spoke to her face reflected from the dressing table mirror. Quin Polishing her face with light makeup. The choice was fixed on a nude colored lipstick.

"I have to look beautiful in front of him. He must fall in love with me."

Satisfied with how she looked, Quin took a self-portrait and sent it to her best friend who had the name Brave.

"I am okay here. You don't have to worry. I miss you." Quineera replied to the message received from Brave.

"Where have you been? I sent you a message this morning and you just replied. Does the CEO work on weekends?" Brave's reply message was received.

"Sorry, Brave. After waking up I took a shower and didn't check my cell phone. How do I look?" Quin shifted the discussion to the photo she had just sent.

"Beautiful. I like it. I will call you tonight. It's only been a week since you left but I already missed you so much." Reading a message from Brave made Quin's spirit has increased tenfold.

"Okay. I will wait for your call."

Quin wanted to go back to Gevariel's residence, but she refused because she was sure that the man's still angry with her.

"What should I do so he won't be angry anymore? Should I kiss him? No, no! I have never kissed before. Should I buy a gift? Perhaps, but I don't know what he likes. Then what should i do?" Quin ruffled her hair when she could not find a solution.

"It's better if I watch a romantic drama. Hopefully, I can get some inspiration from the story."

Quin turned on the television and looked for the title of the Korean drama she had watched before. Instead of getting inspired, the woman was actually excited because the handsome face of her favorite actor was appearing and doing a lip touch scene with his co-star. Seeing that impression, Quin's wild thoughts emerged.

"It won't be a problem if it's just a short kiss. If Gevariel was still angry, I would grab his face and put a warm touch on his lips. He should not be angry anymore because I gave up my first kiss for him. But he will be good while I regret it because it was a first kiss for me. It's okay, Quin. Sacrificing my sexy lips won't be a problem. Let's just say I made a sacrifice. Remember Quin, you have to make the man fall in love with you."

"Why am I like this? he should be the one falling in love with me, why am I the one busy thinking of ways to apologize."

Quineera was engrossed in her thoughts until the dialogue scenes from the romantic drama woke her up. "Ouch… he is so handsome," Quin started hysterically when her idol's charm shone from the television screen again.

"I still have time. There's nothing wrong with watching one more episode." Quin said. Watching Korean dramas was entertainment for her. Tired of work and routines, making a handsome face typical of South Korea would entertain her eyes and imagination.

One episode, two episodes, finally she remembered her first goal. She had to return to Gevariel's house.

"Well, my clothes are dull again. I have to change my clothes again." Quinn mumbled.

***

Gevariel chose a comfortable shirt and pants because he was going to a restaurant. Soon his best friend would come to pick him up.

"Aishh, why does that woman's face always appear in my mind? She bothered my sleep and this morning she messed up my kitchen. I don't know what else she will do next time. I hope she stops messing with my life." Geva was annoyed with himself because the image of Quin's face had been dancing in his mind.

Luke was standing in front of Gevariel's house but when he wanted to press the password, he was surprised because of a woman's voice.

"Hi!" Quineera greeted.

Luke turned his head at the voice of the greeting. "Why are you here?" Luke returned Quineera's greeting with a question.

"Actually I live here. I accidentally neighbors with your friend. It's possible that I and Geva Are soulmates," Quineera replied jokingly and she laughed.

"You are beautiful when you laugh like that. Don't be so serious like when we met in your office." Luke praised sincerely and gave advice.

"Thank you, Luke."

The door opened and Luke invited Quin in. "You know the password?" Quinn asked.

"Ye, I know. Usually Geva only gives his password to the people closest to him. Like me, uncle Sam, and also…" Luke's words hung when he thought of Theresia who had passed away.

"And who?" Quinn asked curiously. She longed for the answer.

"Forget it! Certainly, Geva only gave it to his closest people." Luke chose to close the topic.

"Why do I remember the person who had passed away?" Luke talked to himself.

"That means I also have to get the password. I have to be the closest person to Gevariel." Quineera was also talking to herself.

They entered and headed for the sofa. "Looks like Geva is still taking a shower. We can wait for him here." Luke said and he invited Quin to sit on the sofa.

"Why is there a pillow and blanket on the sofa? Geva usually sleeps in the bedroom?" Luke asked, frowning. He knew that Geva had insomnia and he always tried to sleep in a soft bed, with the help of aromatherapy so that his best friend would get a good night's sleep. It would be weird if there was a pillow and blanket on the sofa.

"Actually…" Quin wanted to confess but she hesitated. She bit the corner of her lower lip but when she wanted to continue her sentence….

"I just want to sleep here. Is there any problem?" Geva's voice silenced Quin's mouth. Her words caught in her throat and this time Geva was saving her.

"It is not like that. You don't usually sleep on the couch so I was curious," Luke replied with a hint of suspicion.

"There are lots of mosquitoes in my bedroom, that's why I sleep here," Gevariel answered but Luke glared at him.

Gevariel's answer did not enter Luke's mind. Luke was too smart to be lied to. "Since when are you friends with mosquitoes? As far as I know, you installed this apartment with a mosquito repellent device." Luke still wanted honesty. The blanket and pillow really bothered his mind.

"Ask the girl next to you!" Gevariel answered in surrender. He did not want to be honest, but he knew Luke was not easy to fool.
