Chapter 20

CHAPTER 20:

Ivyna tried to talked to him once Taese went out of the bathroom. But Taese ignored her and walked straightly to the room. Ivyna just watched him until he slammed the door.

"What's wrong with him?" she asked, still looking at the door of the room. "I really don't understand him. "

She then walked towards the coach and sat down, waiting for him to come out. But minutes had passed she didn't heard the door open. He didn't go out of the room.

"Really? What's wrong with him?"

Ivyna laid herself onto the coach and stared at the ceiling. She was thinking of what wrong she did, if any. But she's fully aware that she did nothing wrong. So why he acted like pompous ass?

Taese who's lying on the bed, staring outside the window of the hotel. Wondering what's really wrong with him to act like that to her. She's just her secretary, so he must not feeling this kind of pissed off at her. But he couldn't help it. Some of his part saying, she's her territory. That he owned him.

He shook his head after realizing what he just thought.

"The fuck! What's that woman did to me to think her as mine?!"

Minutes later, they are both drawn at their thoughts. Then, after a while, Taese decided to go out of the room. It's already lunch so he's feeling hungry.

He then looked around to find his secretary. His locked to sofa that he could see her feet hanging on the edge. He then walked towards her.

"Aren't you hungry?"

Ivyna got startled to sudden voice. She sat down and looked at him. She didn't utter a word but just look at him.

"What?! Are you coming or not?" He then walked out of the room.

Even Ivyna didn't want to come with him, her stomach was hungry. So she had no choice but to followed him. She ran towards him once she heard the door closed down.

They entered the elevator didn't eyeing and talking to each other. They're both busy with their phones. Once the elevator doors open, they walked out and directly walked towards his car.

Taese rings his car and entered. While Ivyna take over and went to the other side of the car and went in.

On their way, Ivyna could feel the awkwardness between them. No one talk. Ivyna just watched how cars and buildings passed them by. While Taese was directly looking on the road.

They stopped by in the near Japanese restaurant. Ivyna could tell that it isn't that kind of rich Japanese restaurant. They went out of the car and go inside.

The staff greeted them.

"Table for two," Taese said.

The lady staff smile and nodded. "This way, sir, ma'am." She guide them to the table.

They sat down and the lady staff gave them the menu. Ivyna doesn't familiar at the food but she saw them in some kind of Japan-dramas. So she ordered those she thinks looks delicious. Taese ordered, too.

"In just a minutes, sir, ma'am." The waitress left them.

Ivyna looked at them and caught him looking at her. So, she got that chance to speak with him.

"Ah, sir, when will be see the project?"

"Tomorrow."

She nodded. "Uhm..."

Before she could add, Taese focused himself to his phone again. Ivyna sighed.

'He's hard to please.' She thought.

In just a minutes, the food they ordered arrive. They eat silently. Ivyna sometimes initiate the topic but Taese will drop it. That's how thier lunch goes on.

Once they cameback to the hotel, a staff on the front door blocked them.

"Hi, good day, ma'am, sir," but he paused once she looked to Taese. "S-So, we have some kind of party on the rooftop, you can join us if you want. And it is okay if you also don't. Enjoy your stay, ma'am, sir."

Taese nodded and continue walking. Ivan nodded, too, at the staff and followed him.

"Do you want to go there?" Ivyna suddenly asked while their on the elevator.

Taese didn't speak but he clicked the button to the rooftop. Ivyna saw that and her lips formed a smile.

Once the elevator door opened, a loud noised greeted them. A lot of people was having fun.

Taese walked towards them. So, Ivyna followed him.

"Hi, miss." Someone said to her.

"Hi."

Ivyna smiled at him and continued following Taese. A lot of guy greeted her once they passing them by and Ivyna just did was to smiled at them and greeted them back.

Once Taese sat down on the table near from the pool, Ivyna sat next to him. Taese was silent all the time so Ivyna couldn't stop herself to peek a glance to him. And she saw how irritated he was while staring at the people on the pool.

"Sir, if you don't want to be here, we can go back to our room—"

"We'll stay." He cut her off.

"O-okay."

They all did was to sit there and watched people around them having fun. Some guys and ladies approached them but they refused to come with them. Ivyna wanted to enjoy but she just couldn't let his boss to be alone. So instead, joining those guys inviting her, she stayed to talk to her boss even Taese didn' talking back.
